| - I must say, I was pretty excited to try "The Best Thai Restaurant in North America" after reading all the great reviews on Yelp. Since we didn't make a reservation for our party of 8, the boy and I made a mad dash to the restaurant early to see if we could still get a table. They just opened for dinner (at 5pm), but the restaurant was pretty much filled already. Luckily, they had a large table open at the moment, so they let the two of us sit down first. (Some restaurants won't even seat you unless your whole party is there, so that was pretty nice!)
We sat there waiting for our friends for 10-15 minutes (which we felt really bad about), but they didn't seem annoyed at all, whew! After flipping through the menu, we ordered ten dishes.
- Stuffed Chicken Wings: sliced chicken wings - crispy, flavorful, and served with sweet and sour sauce
- Nam Kao Tod: crispy rice - very interesting, you have to try if you've never had crispy rice before!
- Nam-Prik-Hed: spicy mushroom dip - spicy! but meh, at least the veggies that comes with it was kind of cleansing to the palette
- Sai Oua: northern style sausage - were alright
- Garlic Prawns: BOMB DOT COM. THIS IS A NECESSITY!
- Yellow Curry and Red Curry: very flavorful
- Drunken Noodle Seafood: pretty delicious!
- Pad Se-Ew: typical
- Crispy Duck: cooked perfectly
Their Thai Iced Tea was pretty refreshing! And because some of the food came out slower, they offered us a free Thai Iced Tea.
We got two orders of mango sticky rice and one order of fried bananas. Both were delicious! (I've had better sticky rice though..)
They also have a HUGE selection of wine! So if you're a wine lover, you're in for a treat!
Overall, great atmosphere, great service, and great food (will have good dreams about those garlic prawns tonight). So take your date there or just go have dinner with your friends. It's perfect!
