| - The dishes here are great for sharing, meaning their portions are quite sizeable. The green curry can definitely be split between two people if you order another bowl of rice.
Amongst a party of two, we had the curry puffs, the vegetable green curry, the beef khao soi and the mango sticky rice, which was plenty of food to fill us up. The curry puffs were amazing! They were so fresh and piping hot with crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors. Would definitely recommend the curry puffs as an appetizer. The green curry was just alright. I wish it had more of a lemon grass taste that traditional green curries have. It's also important to note that the green curry here is NOT made vegan. Instead of just coconut milk as their base, they add cow's milk as well. This kind of turned me off a bit because traditionally green curry doesn't have cow's milk, but I just asked the server to make it without the titty juice and they were very accommodating. The star of the night however was definitely the mango sticky rice. It was so beautifully plated and tasted heavenly. There were three mounts of rice, each dyed a bright colour, surrounded by mangoes in the shape of a heart with coconut milk on the side- DELICIOUS is all I can say. The rice was slightly salty which complimented the sweet, sweet mangoes. I would go back just for this!
The ambience of the restaurant is nice too. It's nice and quiet and not too uncomfortably small like some of the Thai spots downtown. Everything is tinted a golden, yellow colour, giving the place a warm vibe.
If you're looking for a Thai place in Scarborough, I'd recommend Jatujak. Its obviously not going to be on par with some of the spots downtown like Khao San Road and Pai, but it'll definitely satisfy your Thai cravings. Go get the mango sticky rice!
