| - Have had a few good experiences here, and this is the type of place where most items look good, the service is pretty fast, and the prices are cheap enough, though I may take a break for a while.
I always order a curry, be it green, golden, or red. Never fails :) Lovely, coconutty, creamy, with Thai basil. The mix of flavours is lovely. I will have to try the Bangkok stir-fry next time, as a friend had it, and it looked amazing. I have to say that the rice dishes (the meat/veggies in a long, shallow bowl with a small bowl of rice on the side) are never spectacular. The Rainbow Chicken was fine. The Basil Beef was fine. Nothing spectacular. I will have to order a stir-fry next time, though I'm not sure when I'll be back.
I was underwhelmed by the mix of lovely peppers in the golden curry, with the unmistakable taste of frozen carrots that come out of a plastic bag in the freezer section at the grocery store. Also, it looked like the curry had been warmed in the microwave, as the sauce at the edges of the bowl had boiled. I suppose when a menu says 'vegetables', it could mean anything, and this place does cater to students, with its communal tables and bench seats with no backs, reasonable prices, loud fluorescent-coloured wallpaper, and noisy trendy atmosphere.
As well, the hostess tried to seat us beside the kitchen and did not want us to change seats when I suggested it is really loud. We chose to sit elsewhere.
