I really owe this place an update. I went there on the busy Family day weekend. We were greeted relatively quickly but it took them some time to find us a spot. I wasn't surprised since the restaurant looked super busy and many of the tables hadn't been cleared up. I guess they were short staffed.
We got a complimentary order of Chicken Spring Rolls. They were delicious! So crispy, light and packed with a punch of great flavours. They tasted even better with the sweet, sour and spicy sauce. I ordered the Shrimp Fried rice. I loved the garlicky taste....the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The Mixed Seafood Basil was also very nicely done and had loads of shrimp, mussels and squid along with plenty of veggies. Another dish we tried was the Crispy Basil Chicken which was a winner as well. The food was incredible. It was lighter than many of the other thai restaurants which put loads of grease and heavy cocunut milk in their dishes. At the same time they had a pretty huge portion...enough for us to take home for another meal. So don't worry, you wouldn't leave this place feeling hungry.
I know that in my last review I compared them to SukhoThai but it absolutely doesn't make sense now. The food is equally fabulous and much more reasonably priced. Also, this is a restaurant where the customer is king! They won't leave you waiting at the front for more than 30 mins just to get you seated.
The owner Vi was super friendly and chatty. She really cares about all the customers. I mentioned that I would love it if they put some lemon grass in the curries. She assured me that the next time I order she would make a special request to the chef to include lemongrass in it. I was really impressed.
Here's another example of the impeccable service we received that night. My husband forgot to tell them that he likes his curry spicy and when the food was delivered we asked them if they could give us some chilli sauce. However, the owner is so awesome, she offered to get it done properly. They redid the curry with the spicy chillies and it was at our table in no time. Of course, it also helped that we were the only ones left in the restaurant.
Everything about this restaurant from food, ambiance to service deserves 5 stars. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes from their menu!!
