| - Lunch buffet at $15.99 is not a bad deal, considering it's all you can eat. Maybe it was the holiday season, but it was not the most comfortable place to eat, however.
I've been coming here since I was young and the place has changed quite a bit. It used to be all adorned with photos from their opening 30 years ago which had a live elephant parading around Elm Street, and I loved looking at the Thai shrine (which is still there). The place to me at the time was HUGE, double floors, and the goldfish pond was awesome - but it felt to small to me today. Maybe it was all the big coats, and tons of people, but it was crowded. Now it's all white, sleek and modern, but they left the main dining area the same as it used to me.
We walked in, and you enter the bar area, which they are trying to promote as a lounge for people to come sit for Happy Hour and have appetizers. This is also where they put the buffet. I don't know if this is the best space for it. The line up went down the entryway to the stairs when you come in. It's really narrow and people moved really slowly. The crowd here seemed like they all were having thai food for the first time.
There was mango salad (meh), fresh rolls (which fell apart), some curries, eggplant (didn't taste like anything), pad thai, rice. The best part was make your own soup noodles with all different types of dressings, two types of noodles and fillings. Not sure if this is thai or just asian influenced. It was good, be careful of the chili's they were hot!
I found that the food wasn't as flavourful, and very mild.
Service was okay, but we sat really unforgettably on the upper floor at a small tiny table.
I cringe when I think about going to the bathroom. It's all the way downstairs, in the same location as it used to be back in the day - but now it's 'owned' by Elmwood Spa. Don't be surprised as you walk in and see someone in a robe walking out. It's a little strange, especially for spa guests. The worst part is I passed by some sort of work / storage room, that was some fumes which I had to hold my breath for. It couldn't have been healthy.
Overall, I will indulge with my dad to come here because he likes it and reminds of days gone past, but really - skip it and head down the street and over to Sabai Sabai, for a thai experience and diversity that is a lot more exceptional (and cheaper).
