| - I haven't had much Thai food overall but I know good food when I eat it and can say kub khao serves up some great food from my little tasting.
Okay first off, it's behind a gas station. I didn't expect that, I almost missed it. It's also a pretty small place. Was able to just walk in 8pm on a weekday and it was fine. Food came out timely too, no issues whatsoever as others have noted.
Started off with papaya salad and chicken satay skewers. The papaya salad was interesting. There's plenty of shredded papaya there, it just didn't taste like papaya. It was crunchy and light. Not bad overall. Really impressed with the skewers, grilled great, not too skimpy, and the two sauces were phenomenal. One is a nutty peanut based one and the other was a clear sweet/sour one. Main was the khao soi and I loved it. Nice and creamy, aromatic curry, egg noodles were great, and topped with crispy noodles. There was also a nice little kick of heat. There was preserved cabbage here, I think that just shows you how legit this place is. Everything just worked so well together. I should note nothing was overly spicy and was just the perfect heat level (you can control all this, just tell them).
Overall, just super impressed with this place and it's great to have a fantastic Thai restaurant here in the Markham/Scarborough area! I will be back for sure!
