The 10 Dundas West mess hall is baffling at the best of times. I decided to change up my game and visit California Thai, the food court counterpart to a more expansive sit-in up in Markham. I have not tried the restaurant proper, but this food court offering is passable. If it's quantity you seek, my pad thai was enough to feed a small militia. I barely made a dent. But food court fare it certainly was, lacking in both flavour and interest. I'll probably go back to try something else, but my first impression wasn't too great.
Obligatory Title Pun: At first you don't succeed, THAI, thai again.
Menu Readability: Better than your average food court. The decor is what drew me in in the first place. It's like a green Blushberry.
Need to mention: I was excited because my pad thai came straight from the wok. The food seems fresh, so I'll give them another shot.
What this place teaches me about myself: Pad thai is my way of calibrating Thai restaurants. Is this the best way?
