  • The old Thai Shan was not really Thai - more country chinese hill tribe home cooking, but this new incarnation bears almost no resemblance to anything Thai. I haven't been to Thai Shan in years, and don't know if it's new ownership, but I guess I remember why I haven't been back. It was interesting (and disconcerting) to note that everybody who works in the restaurant, including the chef, was speaking Mandarin. The chef is definitely not Thai, or Shan, and it shows in the food. The mango salad was overly sweet, way too full of big slices of (green) peppers (which Thai cooking rarely uses) and had no spice at all. The so-called larb kai tasted exactly like the mango salad, but without the mangoes. No resemblance to thai larb whatsoever (the chicken was slices, not ground, and again with the overabundance of green and red peppers). The so-called lad nar, once again, had no hint of anything thai. Wrong noodles (phad thai noodles instead of the wide flat rice noodles), goopy brown chinese sauce instead of the subtle typical "gravy" of lad nar, and just generally awful. Glad we didn't get the phad thai as it looked equally goopy, sweet and awful. The tamarind prawns was just your regular Canadian Chinese food red sweet and sour sauce. Nothing remotely thai (or good) about it. The tom yam was okay, but how badlly can you go wrong with a tom yam mix (which it obviously was). To top it all off, service was an utter disaster. The Chinese wait staff are very nice and friendly but our server was in dire need of riddilin or a Xanax. She threw the food at us (after we finally ordered 40 minutes after arriving) and ran off to "take care" of her next chore. The two hour ordeal was amusing - the saving grace being dinner for 4 cost $65 and that we were not in a hurry. The only people who could possibly like this place are people who have NO IDEA what Thai cooking is all about, let alone good Thai cooking. Don't waste your time!!!
