So I finally got to check this place out after hearing about all the hype from friends. It's right across from Ryerson and has a small entrace with "Salad King" on top. You'd have to walk up a flight upstairs since the restaurant is located on the second floor.
I was reading the reviews on yelp and the Islamic noodles were recommened. So my friend and I gave it a shot. The hint of spice added a good taste to it however, I found it to be a tad bit too sweet. You can definitely tatse the coconut milk in the sauce. Overall, it was a good dish.
We also ordered the Bangkok Stir Fry noodles. Nothing special in taste. Just glass noodles stir fried with assorted veges and chicken (or shrimp, if you like shrimp).
The Thai Ice tea had a distinctive taste to it; it tasted more like a milk tea than ice tea. Also, it can get awfully loud which is quite hard to maintain a conversation.
Service was attentive and the food came pretty fast. However, I was turned off with our server's manner. He brought my friend and I a plate and my plate looked a bit dirty. He rubbed it with his fingers then handed it to me.. At first I thought it was just a scratch on the plate but when I tried cleaning it with my napkin.. It was actually residue. This makes me question their sanitary level in the kitchen...
I just felt that the food does not reflect the high volume of hype its getting...
