| - Finally, a fantastic Thai restaurant in the north end. You must try this place if you're a fan of bright Asian flavours, fresh ingredients and warm, friendly service.
My husband and I came to Kub Khao for a weekday lunch after hearing about it from the Chow-Toronto Facebook group. Despite it's location in a strip mall, the interior of the restaurant has nice decor and beautiful Asian design elements throughout.
We ordered from the Quick Lunch menu which is offered between 11:00am and 4:00pm. I ordered the Chicken Noodle Curry ($9.95) and my husband ordered the Pad Thai Chicken ($7.95) which comes with a spring roll and choice of soup or salad. For the quality of the food we received, and the portion size, this is incredible value. We also received two free spring rolls each from the very friendly owner!
The spring rolls were crunchy and piping hot, filled with various vegetables and glass noodles. A green mango salad followed, with fresh, balanced flavours-- we really loved the mint in this. It kept getting better: my Chicken Noodle Curry had a fragrant, green coconut curry base, rice noodles and was piled high with fresh vegetables, boiled egg, and a plentiful amount of chicken. Just amazing! It had me at first bite. I was sure that the Pad Thai couldn't be better than my noodles but then...
The Pad Thai arrived next: a generous amount of chicken, tofu, crunchy bean sprouts and ground peanuts. Well balanced flavour and chewy noodles. Just as good as the curry noodles. Final conclusion: Either we ordered the best two dishes on the menu, or this place has a good thing going. We were stuffed, satisfied and already planning our next visit.
