| - A friend and I stumbled upon on this hole-in-the-wall restaurant. From the outside, I wasn't necessarily flabbergasted. BUT, low and behold, I walked in to a nice aroma of Asian cooking. I had gone at a time in between lunch and dinner, but to my surprise, I found a handful of folks eating away! Not even 2 minutes after self-seating, a waiter came out with a hot pot of tea and 2 cups asking if we wanted to sip. On a cold day, it was especially welcoming...He quickly brought out the menus, and everything looked amazing. From the appetizers, to the entrees, to the veggie platters, to soups, and even a LUNCH SPECIALs listing (available till 3:30PM)! Being a vegetarian, I was quite happy with my available options....not being incredibly hungry due to my first lunch at noon, I ended up getting the Veggie Springrolls (2 - HUGEEEEEEEE) in the clear wrap (super healthy) and a LARGE Lemon Grass Tom Yum Vegetable Soup. Mind you, I was more than satisfied (THAT's what she said)!!! LOL. But really though, it was HUGEEEEEEE (TWSS, as well)! My friend being a carnivorous, non-vegetarian, currently avoiding red meats (for lent) decided to go with the Lunch Special: Basil Chicken dish, which came with a good amount of Pad Thai (plain, but still good...kinda SWEET-ish), and a Side Salad. Being an Indian, we both were all about the SRIRACHA sauce, the other mixed blend on the table wasn't of our liking, since it was more like mexican chipotle style asian hot sauce. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, and would definitely go back. My entire bill (with enough leftovers to feed a pregnant woman) ended up being under $20 (it's a steal!!). I left a nice tip for the excellent service, and great food. And, to put the icing on the cake, our waiter brought only the best candies with our cheque. I forget if they were lychee or kiwi but they were so good, I decided to grab some more on my way out, since he offered. :) My mouth is watering just thinking bout my review. YUM.
