| - I went here about a week ago. Not sure if they're still working out some kinks since they just re-opened about a month and a half ago but I found their food kind of disappointing. Both my friend and I ordered curries, hers green and mine red. Both of our curries looked nice but they were so watery, it was more like a thin soup. It seemed like it needed to be reduced down more because the flavour wasn't as rich as I anticipated (I've been to their old location several times). I peeked over at my neighbor's dishes and their curries were also thin as well, so it appeared it wasn't just an inconsistency with ours but how they were choosing to serve them in general. Plus, I was expecting maybe a few new additions to their menu since it re-opened, but it's just the same as before. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing since that's what made them popular but I was hoping for more.
The decor of this location is a bit plain although, they did have some fun colourful tiles on a few of their accent walls. For some reason, this new location has more of a fast food vibe and doesn't have the same fun and nosy feel as its old location. Possibly due to how it's no longer as cozy and most of the walls are glass looking out on to the street. Also majority of the seating are communal bar tables with place settings that are quite close to each other. The service was fairly good, my water glass was constantly filled even though the restaurant was very busy.
All in all, the food was pretty meh and I think next time I'd rather just walk a few blocks over to Pai, which still reigns as my favourite. Although, I would be open to returning to KSR to try their Pad Thai and see if that's still as good as it was before.
