  • I was quite excited to see that a Thai restaurant had recently opened near my old neighbourhood. Technically it's in North York since Victoria Park Ave is the dividing line between North York and Scarborough but nonetheless a good Thai restaurant is hard to find in this part of the city. I read that the original Kingston Rd location had garnered good reviews and I was curious if the second location would be just as good. My friend and I dropped by around 8:30 - 9 pm during a weekday for a late night dinner and the place was completely empty. We were quickly greeted and seated. We decided on the Gaeng Kiew Whan ($9.95 plus $2.00 for shrimp before tax) and the Jatujak Pad Thai ($9.95 plus $1.00 for beef before tax) and two green Nom Yen drinks ($3.50 each before tax). Both dishes came out in less than 5 minutes and this is not a good sign unless you're at McDonald's regardless if the place was empty or not. Gaeng Kiew Whan ($9.95 plus $2.00 for shrimp): This is essentially a green curry dish which was served with shrimp, you had the option of choosing chicken, beef or shrimp and a bowl of white jasmine rice. The dish was very mediocre, it was overly spicy and the broth was very watery and lacked the proper amount of coconut milk. Jatujak Pad Thai ($9.95 plus $1.00 for beef): This dish which should be probably their signature dish on the menu was really bad. Very saucy and lacked the spiciness that comes from crushed chili peppers. If you have ever been to Sukothai or Pai and tried their Pad Thai, the difference in quality, taste and authenticity is worlds apart. Nom Yen Green ($3.50 before tax): The drink which was essentially a green milk tea was fantastic, refreshing and sweet but not two sweet. Service/Decor: The service was good and the waiter was patient in explaining things and wasn't overbearing. The decor was nice, a lot of dark colours and a very relaxed atmosphere. Overall, it's difficult for me to give a new small business two stars but the food is really not that good and it's not authentic Thai food. As I mentioned before, if you have been to Pai or Sukothai you will be able to tell a big difference and I have Thai friends and have had the chance to enjoy home cooked Thai food. The food is reasonably priced but they definitely have to improve the quality of the food. I really hope this was a one off experience and a bad night for them.
