| - [4.5 star] Jatujak is my favourite go-to Thai restaurant. Despite being located in a sketchy strip mall, the restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated with hand-drawn chalkboard art. Its interior atmosphere is perfect for casual date nights. Don't be fooled by the small storefront as there's another seating area tucked at the back of the restaurant; great for seating larger groups.
Service was good and food was excellent. All main dishes are reasonably priced at around $10-13 (additional $1 or $2 depending on your choice of protein). Very generous with their portions, especially the added protein, for both dine-in and take-out orders.
- Both the Geang Kiew Whan (green curry) and the Geang Karee (yellow curry) was rich in flavour and packed with protein and veggies. All curry comes with steamed jasmine rice. I would definately recommend the green curry if you like the extra kick of heat.
- The chicken Pad Thai is very standard, but is cooked very well. It has a balanced, sweet yet tangy flavour. Noodles were not overcooked and had a nice bounce.
- Mango salad is served on a crispy shell-like chip. This dish is very tasty and refreshing. Although already near perfect, I'd prefer no raw onions and cilantro added in the salad.
- The yellow curry used in the chicken Khao Soi is delicious and flavourful. However, unlike other resraurants, there was significantly more protein served in comparison to the egg noodle.
- Thai iced tea is served in a cute mason jar. As usual, too sweet for my liking.
- The mango sticky rice dessert is served warm, and often in a heart shape. The tri-colour sticky rice (no difference in taste) and mango is topped with toasted sesame seeds, and is paired with a not overly sweet syrup. This dessert is definitely a must try becuase it is both delicious and picture worthy.
I would definitely recommend Jatujak, a Scarborough hidden gem.
