| - Is it worth walking from Yonge to Parliament? Through the scrappy loud angry Ladies J-walking? Through the Hobos sleeping at the Church doorways? Through the Cop cars zooming by? YES!
Opened the door to see a table of LADY customers hiding behind the wall at 4 pm, otherwise it was simply ME and other walk-in pick-ups from time to time. As the lady patrons went on their way, I was left with 6 other ladies. The 6 ladies in the kitchen laughing it up enjoying themselves in their workplace and singing to Avril Lavigne on the radio.
Tom Kha Gai(Starter Size $5.00) came first and was absolutely INCREDIBLE with Coconut Milk, Lemon Grass, Button Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, Cilantro, Kaffir Lime Leave and pieces of succulent White Meat Chicken. At this time I saw the other table got a refill of Water while I was without any, so I asked for it.
Khao Soi ($10.25) as the MAIN, yellow Noodles in Curry Gravy with Beef. The Noodles were plenty and had just the right bite which is nice with the Curry which was a whole boat full. The Beef was probably the Shank parts and was cooked as needed. The crispy Egg Noodles on top gave texture contrast. Comes with a Lime wedge, although this item is not my favourite it still was A-OK as I was probably just taken back by the price for an individual Noodle item.
At this time I still don't have my Water and it's a good thing I didn't listen to "SOMEBODY'S" advice to get everything spicy as I only had mild because even the mild gave me a bead of sweat. It was a good thing that the whole place has 3 fans going that targeted the middle of the dining area which is where I sat.
Got my water once asked again, however I was the only customer so missing this service was not really an excuse. The staff did apologize but it was too late as my 1 bead of SWEAT could not be recovered.
Tapioca w/Coconut Milk ($3.00) was typical of what I've had as a Chinese DESSERT with Coconut Strips. It was kind of room temperature, while I was thinking it might be better as a cold item.
Overall I was HAPPY to get this chance to try something this good. Sukho Thai was actually the reason I found and started using Yelp, so in a way I gave them 0.5 *Stars* while taking 0.5 *Stars* away for the lack of Water service.
