Another semi-tucked away Thai gem! Just off of the downtown Financial District area- very convenient for weekday lunches or unique dinner dates (there is a bar!). The interior design channels exotic rainforest, from the giant plants throughout to the abundance of natural light. The restaurant is pretty spacious and during the weekdays in the evenings it's not too packed, so no crazy lineups to get seated and no need to strain yourself trying to have a conversation across the table. Large groups can be easily accommodated, but make a reservation in advance.
Price-wise it's much cheaper than other downtown Thai sit-downs, like Pai or Sukhothai. Portion sizes are sufficient.
Excellent service - very warm servers, always willing to help.
So why 3/5 stars??? The food... More specifically, the taste and flavors... Very mediocre. I ordered the vegetarian for 2 dinner combo, which came with spring rolls, pad thai, stirfry veggies, and banana fritters for dessert, and unfortunately, despite the beautiful presentation the flavors and quality of the ingredients resembled that of fast food. Could have just gone to Thai Express down the street. However, if I do come again for lunch/dinner I will for sure try the curry as that was not part of the combo and I deeply regret not ordering it!

I did order the mango sticky rice dessert on a separate day as takeout and was again disappointed by the way this dish seemed to be hastily slapped together. There was minimal coconut sauce, the rice was rubbery and didn't seem freshly cooked, and the whole assemble just looked and tasted very, very mediocre. This was probably the worst mango sticky rice I have ever had in Toronto.
