| - On a night out to Second City, I decided I'd give Thai a second round, after being a pretty big fan the first time. I'd heard great things about Khao San Road in the area, but I'd also heard about long wait times, so I decided against it, and went with another Thai place right around the corner, Thai Princess.
Other reviews describe it as very deceiving on the outside. This couldn't be more true. My girlfriend give me the "Gwah?" look when she saw the very drab sign, as it really does seem like it's strictly a take-out joint. She was also a little wary, as she'd never sampled Thai cuisine before. After a quick peek at the menu on the door, we went forward, to find no wait time whatsoever. Score!
Inside, it's gorgeous. Fairly small, but very intimate. It's one of those places that even if the food sucks, you're happy you went just based on how relaxing of an atmosphere it had...before you bitch about the shitty food of course.
Our waitress was very kind and helpful with us, a newcomer and someone still pretty green as well. My girl ordered some kind of curry thing (I can't remember what it was exactly), and I couldn't help myself after my last Thai experience, and ordered another pad thai with chicken. Also like last time, I had it in mind to also get the mango and coconut sticky rice again.
After ordering, I went to go wash my hands in the washroom. One thing worth noting is that you should be very careful when you open the door to go downstairs, there's no landing. You open the door and you're already on the steps, and the design is ridiculous enough that it would be incredibly easy to do a swan dive if you're not paying attention. It should also be noted that the waitress was very quick to point this out upon our arrival, so if we still fell, we'd have no one to blame but ourselves, right?
The bathroom area was hilarious. It was very clearly constructed by an...ahem...little person? I felt like I was walking through one of those little houses you buy for children, hunched over like Mr. Burns. Once in the mens room, I got a wonderful view of my boobies when looking in the mirror, and had to (omg...) squat slightly to use the urinal. Hilarious, and yet immaculate in there.
Anyway, the food was delivered very quickly, and the pad thai was just as delicious as I remembered from the other place. My girl had issues with the spicyness of her meal, but I suspect that was just something she wasn't used to, and not a problem with how they prepared it. She did say it was very tasty though. Unfortunately, I could barely finish my very filling pad thai, and therefore skipped the dessert.
Wonderful restaurant, great prices, friendly staff, comical bathroom. I wanted to 5-star this place, but for one flaw: We were seated near the back of the place, and unfortunately, that's where everyone getting take out walks through, so we were treated to douchey hipsters talking about dumb crap really loudly while they were waiting for their food. Not really TP's fault, but I just wish the order-pick-up section was farther away from where people are trying to have an enjoyable dinner date.
