We were actually heading out to Swiss Chalet (which is in the same plaza) but decided to try this place instead. What a pleasant surprise! We were promptly seated by a friendly waiter who also recommended a strategically placed table so we would't be faced with the cold wind coming in the door every time it opened. Nice big chairs made it easy to balance the carrier for my younger one and easy to climb up for my older one. We were offered a booster which was nice because many places only have high chairs.
The slightly dim lighting and muted colours made for a cozy, almost-romantic feel, but the decor is going to be outdated pretty soon (doesn't matter, we were there to eat). There is enough seating for probably 30-40 people and it filled up quickly. They also appeared to do a lot of takeout business.
The menu was not as extensive as my beloved Siam Dish in Burlington (which is now sadly gone forever) but selection was still ok. We got the spring rolls, green curry chicken (mild for the kids), pineapple fried rice and pad thai. Tea to drink. The tea was a little watered down but otherwise stayed hot and lasted us for the whole meal. My older one had water which was thoughtfully given to him in a HUGE styrofoam cup with a lid, a straw and a fun mini cocktail umbrella to keep him busy. The waiter was very in tune with us because he mentioned his kids were similar ages and he knew what it was like to juggle eating out with kids.
Spring rolls were standard and came 2 to an order with fish sauce. I could have used another spring roll but that's ok. Pineapple fried rice came with shrimp and lots of pineapple. Very good. Pad thai was very good too (didn't appear to have ketchup!) Green curry chicken was good but not the best I've had. The portion of steamed rice we ordered to go with the curry was too small. I would recommend ordering another one if you are going to have curry.
The bathroom was an individual bathroom but I couldn't for the life of me find the lock so we took a chance. Only saw the lock on the way out as it was hidden below the door handle (I guess it was designed that way for aesthetic reasons). My older one enjoyed looking at all the decorations in the washroom because I guess some of the classical Thai dancers look like shiny, new superheroes he didn't know yet. Also the King of Thailand looked like one of our relatives in a weird way.
The service at this place more than makes up for the food and an extra bonus is that it is run by real Thai people (we know, because we heard them speaking Thai). Will be back.
