| - I've been to this place with a bunch of different non-overlappng friend groups (not at my suggestion mind you) and due to the science of statistics, that means this place is good right? Read on and find out.
So this unassuming restaurant is nestled in a tiny plaza where parking spots are sparse. Inside, it looks like most asian - Thai places: dark lighting, gold decorations, a Buddha, etc. It gives a very authentic atmosphere but does the food reflect that? We ordered curry chicken roti (delicious), Singaporean laksa (good), fried rice (huge!), Rendang (a ground beef - coconut milk mixture), and some stir fried rice noodles (good). I washed everything down with an Indonesian pulled ice tea, which reminded me of a Thai ice tea, but stronger flavor and less sweet. So as you can tell, everything was good, portions were large for the price, and my Indonesian lady companion said it's one of the most authentic places in the GTA. The service was above average (especially for an Asian place) and food came readily too. The only real downside is that it's cash only. Yes, I get it. No one likes paying fees (or taxes) but this is an upscale asian place in Richmond hill you bring people to impress - not some hole in the wall Chinese diner where you expect the washroom to double as a pantry. I like the food when I'm in the mood, but knowing I need cash as a prerequisite before entering is a bit of a deterrent for me.
