| - Here's when you go to The Friendly Thai:
a) you're somewhere around Bloor, and you don't want to walk "all the way" to Dundas for Salad King (cause you're too hungry or lazy)
b) you've already eaten at Salad King three times this week and you live pretty much across the street from Friendly Thai anyway
c) you play the "ok, we're going to eat at the next restaurant that appears on our left" game, and Friendly Thai ends up being that place because you're too far away from Salad King.
Ok, so the place is cute and the food is tasty, but really? Not worth a trek; each entree runs about 10-12 bucks and you have to buy rice too. I will say the coconut rice is dang tasty, though. Man, I'd eat that and a mango salad and be a happy camper. I've had the avocado peanut stir fry a couple times - once it was great, once it was clumpy and the avo wasn't ripe enough. My friend had green curry and it was lovely... and the portions are quite large - if you have a girly appetite, you'll definitely come away with tomorrow's lunch.
In conclusion: don't make a special trip, but if you're in the neighbourhood and craving some thai, give'r a go.
