I didn't think I would like this place as much as I did since a lot of the thai places I've been in Toronto have been a bit disappointing. I was also worried about how little reviews this place had and how unhelpful most of them were. Anyway, this has been the only place to hit the spot for my thai cravings since I've been in this city.
What we ordered:
Malaysian curry beef - nice indian flavor, made with eggplant and potatoes and comes with rice. YUM. My fav.
Pad thai with chicken and shrimp - A rule of thumb for gauging good pad thai is by looking at the color. The pad thai here is a nice dark orange which signifies a good tamarind flavor. I personally liked it, but my boyfriend said it was a bit too sweet.
Thai crispy beef - Breaded beef, fried and rolled in tamarind sauce. Boyfriends fav.
Mango Chicken - We ordered over $35 for take out and were given a choice between mango chicken or pad thai. We already ordered pad thai so I chose mango chicken. This chicken has a sweet and sour flavor. It also seemed like they used leftover scraps of chicken on the order so maybe that's why it was free. Either way my bf liked it and I thought it was pretty good.
Pad see ew chicken - meh. I could have done without this one. My search for good stir fried flat rice noodles in this city continues. The pad see ew here is not bad, but it's not what pad see ew should be. It's more like a less flavorful version of their pad thai and although I didn't hate it, I don't recommend it.
I also asked for chili sauce/chili powder with my order and got a weird head tilt from the owner. They ended up giving me sweet and sour sauce instead. I almost want to dock a star for this because every authentic thai restaurant should have chili fish sauce or chili powder, but I'll forgive it since the demographic seems to be mostly caucasian people who aren't acquainted with heavy spices/fish sauce.
