| - It's been a few years since I've returned and now I know why. I thought I'd give it another try after reading a few Yelp users positive reviews, but what a mistake. First of all, after going to Thailand and tasting what amazing dishes Thai food can offer, I've been searching for authentic Thai food all around North America. While the ambiance is dark and cozy, the food was very quite modified to suite the typical North American palate. Apps we had included the mango salad (standard), chicken and beef satay skewers were some of the worst I've had anywhere, and the fried calamari had too much breading and was overly oily (thought my kids loved it).
For mains we shared the crispy duck, where the server rips up 2 duck legs and you wrap it ala Peking duck style. Complete lack of duck flavor and the crispy batter was way too thick. Plus they charge you an extra $7 if you want more wrappers (as you are forced to get more of the other condiments which is a complete rip off). The wrappers are likely the stuff you get from a chinese grocery store for $1-2 for a large pack, definitely not tasting like they were freshly made. Panang curry with crispy beef - while the curry was creamy and went well with the rice, the beef was lacking any texture and again the breading was too thick. The pad thai was the worse, overly sweet to the point that both my kids didn't want to eat it (and they generally will eat any noodle dish!).
Huge mistake coming here, won't be back... ever.
