| - Food is delicious, I would give it a 3 stars due to service. This place is BYOB and no additional fee for corking - definite bonus in my book. Their waitress was new and it was a bit difficult to get someone's attention. It wasn't overly busy when we went on a Monday night, but it took multiple tries to get the attention of the waitresses.
First impression is that the place is very cute. Has a very hipster rustic feel for being a Thai restaurant. The interior has a good mood lighting - nice atmosphere. It was pretty cold though. Granted I went on a freezing day but we were seated right by the window so it was way more draft than I would have enjoyed.
TOFU PARADISE --
Wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this but I was surprised. They used a former tofu and cut into bite size pieces. I thought the cabbage was the best part to be honest because it had a little sweetness but not so sweet as the peanut sauce. It was a bit too much for my tastes, but slowly grew on me.
YELLOW CURRY NOODLES --
This was surprisingly good. A healthy (huge...let's face it it's not really good for you), portion of yellow curry, noodles, bean sprouts, chicken, red onion, and topped with fried onions. I got a 6/10 on the spicy scale and I will give it to them - it was pretty spicy. I think next time I'll go with a 5. If you're not good with spicy foods I would urge you to opt for a 1-2. The broth was really well made and flavored. And there was such a big portion I could have taken the rest to go and had left overs with rice.
My friend got the pad Thai which I did not try, but I thought her portion was rather small for the dinner price. I expected a bit more. Compared to other Thai restaurants I am inclined to say their portion to price ratio is smaller.
Their menu offered a pretty wide variety of appetizers, rice, noodle, and other dishes. I will be back to try them.
