  • After hearing about this place for a while now, I finally got the opportunity to pay this place a visit. As you can see it's highly touted by yelpers and "the elites" alike, but when a good foodie friend (a writer, who'd be a great contributor to Yelp! *wink wink*) of mine suggested coming here I bit at the chance. I am truly happy that an establishment like this is located across the street from the infamous Toronto project, Regent Park. It's one block away from my old stomping grounds where I spent the first 10 years of my life and never would I have imagined voluntarily coming around here to eat, more or less get some terrific authentic and unique Thai food. My family spent most of those years working hard to try and get out of this place, and now I was back. That's like going to Compton or south side Chicago to grab a bite. For better or worse (much better in my opinion), the Park is changing and gone are the days of the awful run down red bricked low rises. The gentrification process has officially begun. Although brand spanking new high rises are in it's place, the neighbourhood is still gritty and very obviously working class. So what does this have to do with the food? The fact that this place is pulling in Yelpers and patrons who obviously don't live in this neck of the woods to "da hood" says it all. Not only are they coming here, they're willing to line up and wait outside where back in the day, this stretch of street was notorious for a car jacking (an incident about 10 years ago right in front of this place), gun shots and drug deals. Those days now seem long gone, and the only drug here is a bang on my palette, and at the risk of causing even greater line ups, I'd recommend you take a shot here.
