  • Oh. So. Good. Owned by the same gracious family behind the now-no-more Sasi thai restaurant (close to Ryerson), Mengrai Thai scores major points in all categories of service, atmosphere, and gets a freaking Oscar for food. My dining partner and I were seated next to a glimmering golden shrine featuring religious relics with a spattering of plastic figurines and what appeared to be a miniature grey Mazda model car. Hm. The place is relatively busy considering it is a little bit off the beaten path. Using a bit of triangulation, we suspect that our server is the owner's son. Either way, he, like all the other servers, are fresh-faced, smiling, and appear genuinely proud to be serving us. Starting with the appetizers for two, with an array of usual fare (spring rolls, cold rolls, shrimp triangles). Good, but nothing to get too excited about. This, of course, all changes with the arrival of the entrees. Their famous #54 Red Curry Chicken with Lychees is presented in a hollowed out pineapple. We get a bowl of rice with it. It is amazingly good. I initially didn't realize that there were lychees in it, and the taste of it brought about a pleasing floral taste to it. Tons of good sauce, we wish there was more rice on the side to sop it all up. We also tried their Pad Thai (Street Style) - and mmmm, it's good. A healthy serving of noodles with large shrimps, chicken, hot pepper flakes on the side, and a sprinkling of what appears to be freshly crushed peanuts. Delicious. Not as delicious as #54, but delicious all the same. We're stuffed. We are comfortable enough around our server to get chatting with him, and he's all smiles. We order their mango dessert with his recommended ginger ice cream. It is a perfect sweet treat to share at the end of a filling meal. To our surprise when we get the bill, he's been kind enough to give us the dessert on the house. Whaddaguy! I'll be back here soon, and hope to bring some friends with me next time. This is a real authentic family establishment that's got a whole lot of heart, and they deserve all the praise they are getting. (Note: the takeout menu appears to offer the same items at a relatively cheaper price. The extra cost to eat in the resto is worth it for the presentation and courteous service.)
