| - This place is a decent option for lunch.
Lunch specials tend to fall around $10-$11 per person, and includes a side, either a salad or spring roll.
The restaurant is clean and inviting, it's usually not busy when we go during the week at lunch time so we've never had to wait for a table. It is a bit hidden in a plaza next to Pie, the pizza restaurant.
The plaza has lots of free parking out front.
The food isn't bad, certainly not the best i've ever had. I have tried the pad-thai, green curry, spring rolls and mango salad and I find everything to be on the sweet side. The pad thai sauce is really very sweet, I generally need some hot sauce to tone it down a bit, and the dipping sauces and salad dresses I also find to be almost too sweet. I had the mango salad for lunch which is around $10 and when she put it on the table in front of me, I thought it was for one of my colleagues who had a side portion of the salad with her lunch, it's definitely not worth $10, it's pretty much just a sliced mango, shredded carrot, a few small pieces of red pepper, onion and around 4 cashews on a plate. The dressing again was really sweet which added no contrast to the sweet mango.
The portion sizes are OK for lunch, not ideal for a big eater however.
There are other Thai restaurants in the area with similar menus but larger portion and a bit less expensive.
The service is always nice and everything always comes out quickly and without any errors.
Otherwise, not my favourite thai restaurant in the area, mind you I've only had a few of the lunch dishes, maybe it's better for dinner!
