| - Khao San Road is back and has moved into a shiny new glass box. Fortunately, it's menu remains the same and retains all of the items that made it a foodie legend in the past.
This new joint also recaptures the noisy and electric atmosphere of the original. The communal seating returns along with the blaring speakers. The long wait times, however, are still a norm here. Make sure to show up with your full party or the host will not seat you.
The number one reason to eat here, in my opinion, is their signature Three Flavours Pad Thai. Probably the best pad thai in Toronto, this dish comes perfectly drenched in sauce that is tangy and sweet and oh so delicious. The Bangkok style pad thai is more ordinary in flavour and just not as amazing, Imo. Stick to the three flavour one =)
Their other dishes, however, are equally impressive and satisfying. The Crispy Rice Salad is another signature dish they serve here that leaves a lasting impression. Be warned though, it is more filling than it looks and can work a number on your jaws (really crunchy). I would recommend splitting this app with 4 people even.
If there's one dish I wouldn't recommend, however, it would probably be the Khao Soi. Not that it's a bad dish, it just pales in comparison to the one at Pai (not as creamy and delicious). Otherwise, I think you really can't go wrong with their menu!
