I love Thai food, what can I say? And with so many "Thai" places serving up something that doesn't even resemble Thai food, I'm always hesitant to try a new Thai joint.
After reading so many reviews on Yelp, I was definitely intrigued. But it wasn't until last week that I happened to be in the Beaches that I finally got a chance to try out Jatujak. The store is small and easy to miss if you're not paying close attention.
We ordered Thai basil chicken, Pad Woon Sen, Lemongrass chicken wings and received free mango salad. Thai basil chicken packed a nice heat with plenty of authentic Thai flavours. Pad Woon Sen was also done very well and definitely stands head and shoulders above the competitions'. I can't comment on the chicken wings as I did not have any but they looked like baked wings and not the fried kind I was hoping for. The only disappointment was for the mango salad (which was free so I can't really complain). The mangos used were stringy and made for unpleasant textural experience.
Will I return to Jatujak? Yes, of course. This place stands as the best Thai food that's closest to home.
