| - Saw a review in a newspaper that described this place as a "hidden jewel" of Toronto. Well, all that it was in the end turned out to be just hidden, but not a jewel for sure.
Almost feeling bad to give one star, since the service was really polite and attentive (even a little bit too attentive at moments, not allowing too much privacy), however the food was just not good, and that's what matters in the first place.
To start with: Peanut sauce (was supposed to be Chicken Satay with peanut sauce, however chicken arrived after the main dishes; didn't mind this too much since we were alerted at the time of ordering, another plus for the service). Very good sauce served with cucumber and red peppers. Started off well and then went downhill. Everything else that came after was disappointing. Pad Thai (as one other review stated, a very regrettable Pad Thai indeed, soggy and extremely sweet, almost like they put a plum sauce in it??) Fried rice with pineapple, chicken and shrimp: very oily. Chicken satay: extremely extremely oily.
Portions are big and prices very reasonable, but it's not worth taking a trip to visit this place... unless perhaps you are in the neighborhood and want a quick bite with good service.... all in all big disappointment.
