It's our first day in Canada (we were on a 2 week Canadian tour) and my sister & I ventured out undeterred by the pouring rain. We stayed at the U. of Toronto and walked along Spadina Avenue where lots of restaurants seemed appealing at first glance but upon closer scrutiny of the menus, the prices were outside our tight budget (after all, the Canadian $ is slightly stronger than the U.S. $). We were hungry but were determined to find something within our means.
Just as we were on the verge of succumbing to fast food, we fortunately found ourselves lured in by the alarmingly affordable prices at Thai Country Kitchen. Coming from NYC, anything below $10 per dish at a Thai restaurant is considered decent by my standards.
It was empty when we entered but we went during off hours (around 3pm) and it was also a weekday. I ordered a spicy basil fried rice and my sister got a spicy noodle with vegetables/tofu. We were both satisfied with the taste of our food and were stuffed by the end. In terms of service, the waiter refilled our water but generally went back to the counter in the back of the restaurant and did his own thing. He wasn't always attentive but he wasn't horrendous.
Cheap, good flavors and okay service. Not too shabby for a Thai place in Canada!
