 | 	- It was my first time visiting this restaurant and I ordered food for take out since I was in the neighbourhood.  For a Friday night it was not busy at all, only one table of two that were dining and a couple of people there for pickup orders.  I've passed by this restaurant occasionally throughout the week and never seen it busy, so am surprised they're still in business.
Usually for first time visit, I like to order standard food which represents the cuisine because it tells a lot if the restaurant can make a simple dish or not.
I ordered the tom yum soup and pad thai which were both very disappointing in presentation and taste.
The tom yum soup was basically cooked vegetables and tofu in hot water with some bit of spices for flavouring.  I couldn't taste the lemongrass at all and usually the broth would be flavourful.  
The pad thai looked very unappetizing with only two shrimps, a wedge of lime, and a slice of orange for colouring. The dish just looked like a bunch of noodles with a somewhat healthy display of tofu and chicken, hardly any green onions or coriander with sparse amounts of peanuts and bean sprouts in the corner of the container. I wished I had taken a photo, but I was just so displeased with the appearance that it wasn't worth a picture as it looked so blah.
I hardly managed to even make a small dent to the pad thai dish as I just couldn't continue eating because it was very bland and noodles were all clumped together.  I hate wasting food and the pad thai was not even worth passing along to anybody, so it was $10.95 that was definitely wasted.
Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and I probably would have had better food if ordered from Thai Express instead.  Perhaps I should have ordered a rice dish because of the name Coco Rice, maybe that's their specialty, but not sure if I even want to attempt any other dish from here.
One star for convenient location, and second star for friendly service upon entering the restaurant with quick and efficient ordering time.
