I went to Bolan for dinner on a weeknight -- there was one other table occupied so we were seated right away. The decor is sleek and inviting.
We had the Ka-prao Gai Kai-dow ($15.95) and it was delicious; minced chicken sauteed with veggies and spicy chili oil and topped with a fried egg (you know, the kind with the crispy edges? *drool*) served on a bed of rice. The Bolan Pad thai ($15.95) was also really tasty, wrapped in a egg crepe.
The service was fast and friendly; coupled with the food it was a solidly good experience. One star off only for the price -- I found it a bit on the pricey side, to be expected for Midtown Toronto. However, I think chipping in the couple extra bucks is worth it compared to Thai chains in the area that serve salty mushy pad thai.
Bolan may not be as trendy as other Thai spots in the city, but if you're on Mount Pleasant you'll realize it's anything but trendy, so kinda makes sense -- plus, it makes it easier for you to park and get a table. The food and service made me definitely want to come back if I want delicious Thai food in Midtown.
