  • The best thing about this place was my friends' company and the random guys we chatted with at the next table. I love love love Thai food and most Asian cuisine in general. I was in Toronto for Caribana and this strip on King St seemed to be the most packed with dining options. The night before my friend and I had amazing Indian food (review to come) so Saturday night we decided to try this place - Dazzling. The good: I had a spicy tuna roll to start... it was good, no complaints. I wasn't too hungry or blown away by the menu in general so I kept it simple and got Seafood Thai Fried Rice. It was fine... again, nothing spectacular and once I put Srirachi on it I was good to go. My friend ordered Basil Chicken... it didn't come with any rice! WTH... this isn't an Indian spot... how was she supposed to eat the sauce and all that without any rice. Bogus. My other friend also kept it simple and ordered Pad Thai. We thought something was up when the menu gave options as to what sauce to put on it... I've never in my life seen that. Pad Thai doesn't come with sauce poured over it. We were confused so when she ordered she just said Pad Thai... our server didn't ask any follow up questions so we thought that was good enough. When her food came it looked pretty plain and dry. She said it tasted worse than it looked. She asked the server for extra sauce or something to put on it because it had no flavor and just tasted like cooked noodles. His response: "It's just ketchup... you want ketchup?" Again, WTH! We realized that he meant tomato sauce but really? If that's the description you give to customers, you know the cooking is not that involved. Blown. He brings her some Srirachi... no, sir, adding hot sauce to plain noodles is not that business. So then he brings her peanut sauce (like for Chicken Satay - which she had as her appetizer). She tried but the food was not coming together and she was pissed. At the end of the day, the manager said she couldn't order anything else instead even though her food was not edible. How ridiculous. She had to negotiate with him for it to be at least half off... and even that was a struggle. She probably only ate 2 small bites of it before pushing it to the side, wasting her $7 (half the full cost) and eating some of my fried rice. I have no idea where the positive reviews are coming from for this place. It was disappointing. My food wasn't bad but the service was outrageous. The manager was friendly and joking in the beginning of our stay but once the food came and things went sideways he was a jerk. He stood over our table at the end of the meal as we were paying and when we politely said we'd need a minute he just said ok and stood there. So then we asked him for more water, so he'd walk away out of our personal space but still he just said ok and stood there. Jerk. His demeanor was straight up like he didn't think we would pay or something. No lie, I wish I had Indian two nights in a row because we left that restaurant stuffed and happy! And it was only a few doors down! But now I know and hopefully you readers also now know to stay away from this not so Dazzling restaurant.
