| - My friend and I went to this restaurant after work today ~5:30PM, and the place was decently busy. The service is quick, lots of seats, with a steady flow of people. Being attached to the Ryerson student center, evidently, this is a favored spot for those looking for a quick, healthy meal, with vegan and gluten free options. The restaurant categorized as 'Viet, Thai, Vegan' on yelp, which seems a bit confusing, but it does have a taste of the different cuisines. It reminds me a lot of the bowls at Freshii.
Someone else had provided a great review as to how it all works, so I'll just comment on the food.
The ingredients of my box:
1) Chilled rice noodle: just right, not too soft, not too hard, and the noodles are not stuck together.
2) Lemongrass corn: didn't taste much of the lemon grass, but the description does say it is only a 'subtle hint'. I love corn, so I can't knock it, really.
3) Sauteed peppers: not overdone, added some crisp to my box.
4) 5-spice steak: DELICIOUS. REALLY liked the flavor of the cubed beef (not a full steak, obviously), and the meat was not tough at all.
5) Sweet chili lime sauce: just mildly spicy, a good little kick of flavor.
7) Toppings (unlimited): pickled veggies (the type you would get with your spring rolls at pho), sriracha spiced pumpkin seeds (definitely recommend!), and fresh herbs.
I quite liked my box of food! Whether it was healthy or not, I'm not sure, but I felt good after eating it. Perfect meal pre/post workout, or if you want something that fills you up, without feeling post-food coma afterwards. I would definitely go back again to try other things, as they have soups, thai ice tea, refreshers, juice etc. I'm really interested in trying other sauces, particularly the penang curry and sizzlin' sriracha!~
TIP: thoroughly mix your box, as the sauce tends to sit at the bottom.
