  • I have a feeling this is one of the spots that dish out Instagram worthy food one after another. I recall this spot being occupied by a hugely popular Thai restaurant in the past and when they closed shop to move nearby I was dreading another condo tower taking over this spot. Luckily that hasn't happened for now. The layout is similar if I recall though the interior is nice and bright. This visit was courtesy to a reservation snagged by a Yelp eating buddy (YEB) earlier. This was an early dinner as had a Yelp Elite Event to attend nearby (funny how all things fall into place). I showed up a little bit earlier and grabbed a spot. YEB had already some dishes in mind so I went through and the large dish of short rib caught my eye. We decided on ordering two Royal Thai platters(as per recommendation by the server), Stir fried angled gourd and short rib. I ordered a Sapporo for good measure. I also appreciated their beer list as it had a couple of other beers I enjoy on draught. YEB also added a pandan ice tea afterwards. Their cocktails look pretty so if you enjoy that sort of thing this place is worth a look. The royal thai platter was stunning and we even got instructions to eat from right to left. After the Instagram heaven of a dish in a word hmm I didn't quite enjoy the first two offerings as they had a sweet finish. The first one could even pass on as take on healthy dessert (whatever that means) to a thick satay sauce on the second. The third offering fared better as it had a very familiar taste profile (thick noodles with chicken Pad See Ew). The last one had a shrimp though was forgettable. Again very pretty to look at and is sure to wow the table. Next was stir fried gourd. Hmm nothing to write home about IMO. Beef Rib was good with nice tender meat cooked through perfectly. Not overwhelmed with sauce and nice thick lingering taste. We also added the fruit platter for good measure. Again Instagram heaven here and thankfully tastes to match. I don't enjoy the non local fruit in North America period! so was delighted to taste fruit the way it should taste or at least the taste profile I associate with good fruit. We are talking good lychee, decent pamelo, rambutan, Mangostean and dragon fruit which according to YDB were good (I have tried the last three before but don't know how to gauge a good fruit) Hmm a difficult rating for moi as one associates consistent mainstream dishes in various Thai restaurants that are peppered throughout the city. This is by no means mainstream food. With the high price point it is at I feel there is a high expectation here as well. I will be back to try other items if I can but for now 3 stars. P.S. Overzealous staff which can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you perceive this approach.
