| - Ever since the renovations at Shops at Don Mills this place became sorta pretentious for most folks. New restaurants like Linda's Modern Thai would come into the picture where one would expect a "Thai Express" but with a more higher price tag. But boy, was I wrong. Pricey? Yes. Atmosphere? beautiful. Love the decor. Btw, it's an older crowd, on a Friday night, you might just bump into your grannies. Service? Meh. Average + 1. Oh wait, they did made us wait for 10 mins. You know, like a random club/bar where they make you stand inline, but when you get inside its not full at all. Yup, I've counted at least 5 empty party for 2 tables. Ok, maybe their customers finished and secretly left from the tiny windows in the bathroom (note: there were no windows in the bathroom) Food? Well ... not like "Thai Express" !! We ordered two noodle dishes. A regular chicken pad thai and a thin clear seafood noodle dish. It took around 15-20 mins, adding to not like "Thai EXPRESS" column. It's okay, they have a nice bar for you to get your cocktails whole you wait. When the food finally arrived, they both came in a very thin omelette. Wrapped, actually. And you gently slices it open, the noodle dishes are inside. Its brilliant! The aroma of the dishes immediately fills the air. Not only this kept the noodles warm, it was very tasty too. The noodles were neither over cooked, nor it was soggy. It was perfectly balanced with the veggies and meat/shrimps. I'd definitely recommend to all my friends. I'd say this is one of the finest Pad Thai in Toronto. Well done, Linda! It worth the wait.
