| - My husband used to work near this Spoon & Fork location (on Eglinton) for years and visited it quite regularly. He got to know the owner and some of the servers and, even when I met them, they were just lovely people.
On a lot of Friday nights he would bring home dinner and, in my opinion, the food was always fresh, authentic, tasty and made with pride. The calamari was cooked to perfection - very tender but crispy (not greasy) on the outside. I could eat a whole platter if my stomach allowed me! The Vietnamese spring rolls are a must try - something I've never had before. I've only ever had the Pad Thai and Curry Pad Thai and they are amazing - noodles cooked el dente, right amount of sauce and all fresh ingredients - they also make a crazy hot homemade sauce that's very flavorsome but extremely hot; one time it even burned through the container. My husband usually would get the seafood green curry - I thought it wasn't bad but, for my taste buds, very fragrant. He would mostly get the Pho Seafood, which is only offered at lunch and pretty much dirt cheap, and bring it home sometimes. I'm not a huge fan of Pho but, compared to others, I thought it reigned supreme.
It's a nice, little, charming restaurant that would be great for an intimate dinner. I know it gets crazy busy at lunch though - it you like Thai food, give it a try as it won't disappoint; even you wallet will like it!
