| - Can't understand the people who give ratings based on only one visit, only one or two dishes. While we came here only once today for lunch, the group of us sampled the Twin Fish Thai Platter, which covered most of their appetizers--Spring roll, chicken & beef satay, calamari, chef cold roll & shrimp chips, as well as two of their sauces--peanut & Thai sweet garlic chili sauce, as well as several of their mains--green chicken curry, red chicken curry, panang chicken curry, shrimp pad thai, and their South Thai lamb curry.
The food rivals or betters MANY of the best places in Toronto, where I live, and the only place that I like better in Toronto is Pai, on Duncan (although I still have to try Mengrai).
The appetizers: spring roll was deep fried, veggie filled, and the dipping sauce went well with it--could have used more flavour. The two satays were very tasty, didn't even need any dipping sauces, and perfectly grilled. The battered, fried calamari were delicious, a nice and mildly spicy alternative to Mediterranean-style calamari--probably the best of the apps. The cold roll had a lot of chicken in it, and went well with the dipping sauces. The shrimp chips were tasty, but nothing special.
On to the mains: Portions were more than adequate in all cases--as an Asian, I could have used more rice, but we all agreed that the coconut rice was definitely a much better option over plain. It wasn't too cloying or clumpy like some places make it. Rave reviews for the green chicken and panang chicken curries--just the right amount of heat in both cases. I ordered the South Thai lamb curry, and when the server warned me that it was a lamb shank with bone, I was all the more excited to eat it! I love lamb on the bone, whether it's in an Italian, Somali, or Thai restaurant. I anticipate slow cooked, fall-off-the-bone lamb meat, and I was NOT disappointed! The savoury sauce was so good I was tempted to drink the leftovers. This was actually the first time I've ever seen this on a menu in a Thai restaurant! The server also said it would be a mild curry, so I asked if she could get the kitchen to make it spicier--they did so, to my delight!
Overall, we all really enjoyed the flavours, heat levels, service, and even the teas were great! The only reason I deducted a star was it doesn't rank up there with the creativity I see in the menu at Pai, but definitely a pleasant surprise on a quiet afternoon in Mississauga!
