| - I really, really, really wanted to love this place. We recently moved to East York and were looking forward to discovering the little gems.
I should have taken note of other reviews before ordering because I opted for the pad thai. The sauce was mediocre, the noodles almost tasted microwaved and the chicken was grisly - the kind you can't chew through. The portion was generous, though. The same was true of the cashew nut chicken - if you're hungry and not too picky, it's an okay dish. My husband liked the flavour of the sauce but I found it too smokey (as though artificial smoke flavour had been added ... or, the bottom of the pan was burnt). As a plus, the veggies were well-prepared and the cashews weren't soggy like you sometimes get.
As others have written, there isn't much ambiance. But it's clean, and I'll take that over decor.
Looking at other reviews, it seems the curries would have been the way to go. As many of those comments are older, I'm hoping the advice still holds true. I love to support family-owned, independent businesses. In the case of this one, I just haven't found their specialty yet.
