Toronto's Thai scene has really heated up to a solid five chillies out of five chillies.
We started off with Tom Yum Soup starter size. The soup was fantastic and a perfect blend of sweet, savoury and spicy. There were two pieces of shrimp in the soup too.
As an appetizer, we ordered Morning Glory (aka Water Spinach). The vegetables were cooked well and weren't too fibrous. It was a little bit greasy but it had a very tasty garlic base.
For mains, we ordered 3 different dishes: the Chef Nuit's Pad Thai, Khao Pla Tawt and Beef Noodle Soup.
Chef Nuit's Pad Thai was pretty darn good. Portion size was good and chicken was plentiful. It was solid through and through. No complaints.
The Kaho Pia Tawt is fried basa fish. The fish was really crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It was served with two sauces (fresh chili and tangy tamarind) and a bowl of rice. This dish is a bit heavy.
The beef soup was also really good. The broth was a little bit sour, a little bit sweet and despite the fact that we ordered it "foreigner spicy," it wasn't spicy at all. The beef brisket was variable in texture. Either too dry or good and juicy. The quality of the cuts wasn't really top tier but overall good.
The spiciness consistency was a little bit off. Two different dishes were ordered with the same spiciness level but one dish wasn't really spicy at all, where as the other one produced the satisfying tongue numbness I'd expect.
Decor was certifiably hipster rustic chic with reggae playing in the background. Bird whistles can be heard when pouring the bottles of water. Bathrooms were clean and service was solid.
Overall: I'd definitely come back again. it's another solid Thai restaurant that you can go to. They accept reservations too.
