| - First impressions entering into this restaurant is a warm, cosy but muted décor with nothing that stands out, and the staff are very warm and inviting. The first food station is sushi only and the second food station is anything faux Thai.
Why Thai Nouilles & Sushi is sitting with a high 4.5 score perplexes me. That scoring is the reason that I availed myself of this mediocre fare.
The takeout version of chicken Pad Thai, with peanuts and a wedge of fresh lime was a generous portion. The added small cubes of tofu were tender and probably added to make up for the lack of chicken for which the dish is supposed to have lots of. The bean sprouts had a nice crunch, the one bit of green was near mushy and tastelessness, possibly a piece of shallot, perhaps a very small snow pea as well. Again, with the chicken if the pieces were cut any smaller I would've had to have used Japanese hashi instead of my Chinese set to pick up the chicken, shameful. To be fair Thai use a spoon and fork in tandem not chopsticks. Three times while ordering I asked for a spicy hot Pad Thai, it was anything but, some flavour but lacking in heat and spicing. The noodles were over cooked. I have had better Thai fare at the Thai Express on St. John's road. A very poor showing indeed.
The cost of this take-out is $9.14 tax included it should've been a $5 tax included meal. I certainly would not pay anymore for this disaster. I ate it because I'd not eaten since an early lunch, it smelled great in the car driving home and that is where it all ended.
