| - I was craving Thai food and reviews from fellow Yelpers for Thai Country Kitchen convinced me to give this place a try. The purple storefront on the west side of Spadina is hard to miss, and like other restaurants on Spadina, it's sort of run down, the bathroom is in the basement (on the dirty side). The lunch menu had a good selection of pad thai, curry, rice and noodle dishes - I've uploaded photos of the menu. With prices under $8, you can't go wrong. I had the chicken pad thai and it came with a small vegetarian spring roll. The spring roll was delicious! Not too salty, super crunchy, wasn't refried, and was piping hot. My first bite of the pad thai was a bit disappointing. It was on the sweet side and lacked spice. Most other Thai restaurants let you choose the spice level, but they didn't even ask when I placed the order. I really liked the texture of the noodle - chewy but not undercooked. The amount of chicken and tofu pieces were proportional to the noodles. The other reviews of this restaurant were so good and I really want to like this place, but I can't. I guess for the lunch special price, I can't complain too much.
