| - Ok, I glanced at the Yelp reviews just after sitting down and was alarmed to see the 1 1/2 star average...this place is firmly in the two to 2.5 star territory, so dont' be too alarmed.
First of all, the interior is badly dated. The benches are all ripped up, my menu was stuck together, and the trip to the washroom is disgusting (see my photo of the tank of "mystery" fluid in the basement). I have to give conditions here a 1-star rating.
The food was pretty typical, about 2.5 stars. We ordered a fried spicy noodle dish which was something like pad si ew. It was quite strange, the menu didn't list the Thai names for most dishes, so I was kind of guessing as to what they were. In fact, I'm not sure that either the Russian waiter or Chinese cook knew anything about Thai food. The noodles were spicy, which was nice, and super greasy, which was not. We also got a red curry, which was a bit on the bland side. They were kind of lazy chopping up the vegetables, so all the veggies were over-sized.
Overall, the food was not nearly as bad as I might have feared, and the service was actually respectable. Our Russian waitress checked on us and refilled our waterglasses often. The prices were way too high for the value of food delivered though. This is similar to fast food quality. I do worry about cleanliness issues, however, as the dining room, menu, washrooms, and basement were all quite worrying. I'm sure there's better Thai somewhere else.
