Came to Shoppes on Don Mills for a quick look around. And wanted to grab a quick dinner bite to each. Looked their the window of looked dark and I thought it was closed. But then I saw a couple of ppl. Went in no one was at the front desk, peeked in and there was at least 2 staff and 1 bartender standing at the bar staring at me. I said Hi...no response. Than a man in a grey suit greeted us and asked if we made reservations. We said no just walked in. He said he was expecting some tables..and checked his computer. But the restaurant was quite empty when we were there. Asked if we wanted to sit by the window or sit in the dark. So my hubby choose the window.
Ordered a Thai Beer and A Bangkok Lemonade. Thai Beer was mild and the Bangkok Lemonade was quite interesting and refreshing.
Ordered some starters, Beef & Chicken Skewers & Some Sausage Dish. The skewers were good but I liked the chicken one better it was very moist and flavourful. There was also some pickled pink baby radishes on the side too.The Sausage Dish was not bad either. Even though the waitress said not a lot of ppl order that. Had an interesting flavour and came with some pickled onions and shredded cabbage n carrots.
Mains were: Crispy Beef with Trio Curry & Coconut Seafood Curry.
Crispy Beef was interesting...the beef was sort of shredded than mixed with some sort of mixture to stick together and than rolled in a crispy batter and deep fried. But the portion was really small for $20 there was like 5 small pieces. But there was heaps of curry sauces. And 1 small bowl of rice. The curry sauces were really good though. Very flavourful. Hubby had to ordered naan bread on the side to finish up the curries. Their naan was interesting looking, like pita triangles but had a nice flavour to them.
My Coconut Seafood Curry had a nice presentation. It came in a Full Coconut Shell and 1 bowl of rice on the side. The taste of the curry was really good..but the seafood was definitely not fresh. It tasted really fish and mushy. There were mussels, 3 shrimps, calmari rings, maybe 2 itty bitty pieces of salmon, okra slices & 2 cherry tomatoes that were just dunked in last minute. Also their rice was a bit wet too. But again their curry sauce was good. Just not the rest of the ingredients.
Waitress was also very informative and attentive as well.
