| - I hope you're not claustrophobic. I'm a tourist from NYC and I can't figure out why there's always a pandemonium at this joint every day and night. Where I come from, these flavors are pretty much the norm. I guess Canadians never had such flavors, I'll never know...
I've never quite experienced such average food in such jam packed place with such great noise level. I hate when people are too close to me where they can hear my conversation. It's like sitting next to an annoying stranger in a tight subway cart. No thanks. At approximately 6:15pm, this place turns into a zoo and the BATTLE OF WHO CAN TALK THE LOUDEST commences. Just sitting there hearing their stupid conversation made me very annoyed. Especially when the person won't stop looking over at you.
Previous yelper mentioned how the khao soi tasted like Hot Golden Curry and coconut milk. HAHAHAHA. Funny because that's actually true.
The only bold move this place does is season the food right and is not afraid to pack on heat. Hint: lots of MSG in that fish sauce & those tiny fermented shrimps.
Not sure if you've noticed but their heat level goes from 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 11. I tried to order level 6 (Thai spicy) and the waitress didn't recommend it for me. Hmm, then why even have 8 or for heaven's sake, 11? Unless they wanna put somebody in a hospital! So, reluctantly, I had to settle for 3. But holy cow, even level 3 was pretty spicy! I can't imagine what 6 must've tasted like. That's why there's the disclaimer saying once you go hot, you can't go bok. I almost choked when the chilis went down the wrong pipe, I swear I thought I was gonna die, my eyes welled up with tears and my throat felt like hell on fire. My fault.
The garlic chicken is SUPER garlicky by the way. So don't order this when you wanna get your sexy on afterwards on a first date. Otherwise, it was fried to crisp and served with a nice fishy vinegary dipping sauce.
I ordered the tofu pad thai and I guess if you're a vegan or a vegetarian, you must warn them first because it had tiny fermented shrimps and fish sauce in it.
Thai iced tea was like any other standard Thai iced tea anywhere else. And when you're finished, you pay by the register down by the restroom area. Restroom was a little smelly, super super tight stalls (you know, where your face hits the door when you try to crouch), and unkept with paper garbage overflowing and all over the floor. Yuck.
I wouldn't come again. I hate tight communal tables (unless I'm hitting on a guy) and it was too loud for my enjoyment. But if you enjoy dining in super tight space and like to eavesdrop with a little bit of MSG love, this is your spot!
