| - Went here for the first time this week. We had to go to the Eaton Center and after looking for some place near Dundas Sq. that was less commercial than the big chains and not in a food court, we wandered down Elm St. and found Bankok Garden's outdoor patio. Elm is a nice quiet street and the restaurant is located in and surrounded by historic buildings.
We had the Thai-licious menu, which was $25/per person for appetizer, main, and dessert. The portions were appropriate and we didn't leave stuffed. We started with the Green Papaya Salad (which was good, but had a very potent dressing) and the Spring Rolls (one fried, one not). We each had Pad Thai. Mine Veggie and his Seafood (with shrimp, scallops, and squid). The Pad Thai was average. The presentation was nice and the seafood was better than expected. Dessert was the most impressive. I had the Lychee Panna Cotta, he had a Chai Chocolate Mousse. Both were delicious.
They only had Steamwhistle on tap and the tap wasn't working until later in the meal, so we both started with Tigers.
Overall, I enjoyed Bankok garden, the atmosphere and the service. I'm curious about the lunch buffet. But, I'm not sure that I will return for dinner because I have had more interesting Thai food for this price.
