| - My parents and I had lunch here recently and we loved it.
They have a lunch special from 11am to 3pm. For $8.99 you get your choice of main course and either a spring roll or the soup of the day. We all had the lunch special.
I had the Peanut Curry Beef with rice, my dad had the Spicy Beef with rice and my mom had the Pad Thai. My parents had the spring roll and I had the hot and sour soup.
The Peanut Curry Beef was one of the best I've ever had. There were many slices of tender beef, with green beans and broccoli in the most delicious peanut curry sauce. It was so flavourful and a little bit spicy. I poured the sauce over the steamed rice and eat every last drop of it! The only thing that would have made this peanut curry even better was if it contained some straw mushrooms (I once had this peanut curry in Montreal and it had straw mushrooms and let's just say it was 15 years ago but I still dream of that peanut curry - I don't remember the name of the restaurant, it was on St. Laurent, but it doesn't really matter because it closed down 15 years ago...but I digress...).
The Pad Thai was also excellent. It had lots of chicken, egg and tofu. It only had 1 shrimp though :( The sauce was tangy and the noodles were not over cooked.
The Spicy Beef was just ordinary. It was not that spicy and there was nothing that really stood out for me with this dish. It also came with lots of vegetables: red and green peppers, carrots, onion and broccoli.
The hot and sour soup was more broth than I'm used to. It also had way too much bamboo compared to the other ingredients. I probably wouldn't order this again. It was sour, but not all that hot (spicy).
My parents said their spring rolls were crispy and pretty good. The spring rolls are vegetarian with mostly cabbage, carrots and onions inside.
I also had a Thai Iced Tea ($3). It was a little sweeter than I like, but it was creamy and delicious nonetheless.
The server was really nice. The restaurant is clean (so are the washrooms). It's not a large place, but they've done well with the space they have.
This place is in the strip mall that's across the parking lot from Vaughan Mills Mall. When I go to Vaughan Mills Mall I don't eat at their food court anymore, I go across the parking lot to one of the small restaurants like Truly Thai (so much yummier in my opinion).
I would definitely come back for the peanut curry!!!
