  • One star for the phone order service (courteous) and one for the delivery (prompt). IMHO, Pad Thai is the indicator of what one might expect from a Thai restaurant overall for taste and freshness. Reviewers have gone on about the authenticity of this particular restaurants' offerings but really, what does authentic mean if your not sitting in Bangkok but East York, On? It means the same as the Canadian sitting in Bangkok ordering an "authentic" North American breakfast. (Girl is shaking her head whilst writing this review). Anyway the Pad Thai I recently sampled at Eathai didn't bring to mind any of the accolades attributed to it by the reviews written herewithin save for the few who mentioned the words tasteless and dull. Sadly, they were an accurate call or at least for our choices this evening. The best part of tearing into the delivery bags is inhaling the glorious fusion of citrus-y spices while the mouth waters in anticipation but the absence of any detectable aroma upon opening our bags should have tipped me off instantly. Spring rolls although a good size, were greasy and tasteless - an overused adjective for which I apologize but nonetheless on point. Both shrimp and the vegetarian versions of the managers recommended pad Thai wholly lacked any of the, ahem, authentic flavours synonymous with the Thai food experience. I detected nary a hint of lemon grass, tamarind, garlic or chili nor was there a slice of fresh lime or lemon to squeeze over the clump of sticky noodles. My brother's pad se ew chicken elicited a mournful eeew! As another reviewer has mentioned, this dish is overpowered by hot spice but little flavour. Finally, what better way to cool and refresh the palate between bites of the main dishes than a crisp mango salad? Consistent disappointment was the theme tonite when faced with a mound of too sweet, over ripe mango, a few limp slices of red pepper, onions .... and yet hadn't someone here written in her review that her boyfriend was "obsessed with the mango salad"? The price point for this food is surprisingly low but then so was the experience. I might be done so I'll sum it up with a shrug and yikes!
