| - A cozy Thai restaurant, but no comparison to Sukhothai, Khao San Road, or Sabai Sabai.
Upon entering we waited briefly as the servers were just clearing up our table as we arrived during a busy time. We were a group of 4, excited to try a bunch of dishes as we saw a video from BlogTO on Facebook that presented the dishes in a wonderful light.
We also found out that they discontinued the complementary shrimp chips :( but the servers were kind and attentive; often filling up our waters when it was getting empty.
On to our orders:
I'm always excited to try Thai Iced Tea at any Thai restaurant. I was excited by the picture because they serve it in a mason jar which is cute. However, it was completely watered down and that signature zing to the Thai Iced Tea was non-existent.
For our appetizer, we got the Thai grilled pork skewer which was good, nothing special. That's all I really have to say for it.
One dish I was really excited about was the Bangkok pad thai because of this thinly cooked egg that was folded like a crepe but with a pad thai filling. I thought that was one unique feature that most Thai restaurants don't do in terms of how they cooked pad thai. Another thing that was unique was the type of noodles they used. They used thin glass noodles as opposed to the typical rice noodle. However, I found it underdelivered in flavour and those differences didn't really make a difference.
We also got the Khao soi which was pretty smaller than I would assume for a main dish portion size. It was a good thing we ordered more main dishes because it wasn't really filling. There was not enough noodles. The only points I could give was the presentation and that the taste wasn't bad but wasn't exciting.
We ordered a chicken green curry which I found our group enjoyed and is probably the best dish we ordered from the group. It had a great mix of ingredients and flavours with each bite.
To end it off, we ordered the sticky mango rice dessert which was served on this cute giant spoons and the mango was presented as a rose. There was some chocolate drizzle (I think it was nutella). And as wonderful nutella is, I think I learned that nutella doesn't need to be on everything because that mango and chocolate combination was strange especially with the rice. Don't get me wrong, being Chinese/Vietnamese, we have many sticky rice dessert combinations, I just wasn't a fan of this one. It was pretty though.
Would I come back? I wouldn't think so. They just lacked the wow factor for me.
