| - This is another restaurant in my ongoing quest to eat as much Pad Thai as possible!
I didn't know there was a place in Pickering, so I thought I would check it out. This place is in the middle of a strip mall, a little bit past the Pickering Town Center. The decoration is nice, very themes, and the service was good.
The Seafood Soup was decent, I found it odd they called it "Thai Seafood Soup" and no Tom Yum soup. It was pretty much the same thing. they didn't have coriander that was the only difference. It tasted good though.
The Pad Thai... it smelled like Ketchup. Yea, I said it. It was bland, they didn't ask for how spicy we wanted it (I should know to leave when this happens). It was sweet, and it tasted like Ketchup. For those of you who don't know, you're supposed to use Tamarind. Some recipes say "use ketchup if you can't get Tamarind". I might excuse the substitution in like BFE because they weren't able to get Tamarind. However, this restaurant does not have this excuse. They say it's authentic, but the Ketchup smell and taste told me different.
In summary, the restaurant was a solid three, not great, not bad. Until the Ketchup Pad Thai, which pulled it down. I won't say it's horrible and the worst I have had. I just wouldn't go back, or suggest it to others.
