I don't know why people hate this place. Not the most authentic place but it's pretty decent.
- good portions
- the taste was pretty good (tender meat, decent flavour). It's like takeout food but more authentic. To compare, this place tastes better than Thai express...I assume you guys are familiar with the joint.
- convenient location ( 5 mins from spadina station). Especially if you're a uoft student, this place is close to the northern part of the campus
I think the other reviewers hate this place cause it looks dirty and it has a terrible atmosphere- definitely not romantic or nice to look at. This place is great if you want food and you're not on a date but just chilling with a friend. By the way, the washroom is a little icky- it's dingy and old looking.
I rated this higher than other people because I don't care if the place looks dirty. I have a terrible stomach and this place didn't give me any stomach cramps or problems. I've had problems at cleaner restaurants so you shouldn't judge a place based on how it looks. I guess the rating was heavily based on the taste and portion- relative to the many places I've eaten at...
