| - Awesome Thai restaurant which makes an effort to - and succeeds at - being authentic. Having lived in East Asia for years and vacationed in Thailand, I've loved Thai food ever since I was kid. However, I've found, to my great distress and disappointment, that Thai restaurants in Canada are rarely authentic. Thai Country Kitchen, however, was awesome. I had the som tum (green papaya salad), which was all it should be, something rare in Canada, and nearly wept tears of joy when I tasted the pad thai, which did not use any tomato sauce and was very, very good.
While the decor isn't stellar, it still looked like a restaurant - and not one of questionably sanitary ones normal for Chinatown. In addition, the prices were cheap - the food totaled $16 and I still had more than enough left over for a hearty lunch the next day.
