My first time going though I used to live in the 'hood and have seen this place pretty packed most of the times I went by. I got there during the diner rush on a weekday. There were a bunch of people outside waiting for a table and inside was packed! I got a bit worried that my party and I would have to find an alternative place to eat but we got called in quickly.
We got seated at the end of one of the large communal tables which I thought was a downside. I can't say with certainty it was the seating or the volume of the music but I could not hear the person across the table from me. What I could here was the person beside the person across the table from me, who was shouting to be heard by the person beside me. It made for a very annoying night and having to plug one ear to hear the conversation I'm part of made it hard for me to eat with two hands. So I eventually peaced out of my conversation only to substitute actually conversation with a sheepish grin and a nod. Don't get me wrong, I love a place that only plays hip hop music but something just didn't sit right.
For dinner, we got the fresh rolls to share (6 roll $8). They were very flavourful, especially the fresh mint and the dipping sauce was delicious. I'm glad we go an app. since the food took a bit to come out. I'm not a big fan of Thai so I stuck with a basic Panag. I went for the veg & tofu option which offered a lot for my palette but I must admit, after trying my friend's pad thai I regret not getting not ordering her dish (Sam Roas/Three flavours pad thai - with pork). Next time!
