Wow, this restaurant was a wonderful surprise. I came with my parents and brother. We found parking and then a table for four right away, and ordered:
- Pad thai with chicken, spicy: absolutely delicious. Almost as good, if not as good as, my favourite pad thai at Sukho Thai. It hit the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
- Pad kee mao with beef, spicy: also delicious. Noodles were perfect texture, was garlicky and flavourful.
- Thai fried rice with shrimp, spicy: very good, though not quite as flavourful as Sukho Thai. It came with five large shrimps.
- Green curry with chicken, spicy: really delicious. The coconut curry was bursting with flavour from the kaffir lime leaves.
- Thai iced tea: very good, a wonderful creamy drink with lots of flavour from the black tea. Only complaint is too much ice, it made the drink a bit watery.
- Tapioca coconut pudding: this was a miss for me. My family enjoyed it more than I did. It was sweet and salty, which didn't appeal to me, and had pistachios and honeydew in it.
I've been a huge fan of Sukho Thai and Pai for years, but it's always a struggle to bring my family there because it's impossible to find parking, and there's usually a wait for a table. This wasn't an issue at Jatujak, the pricing was about the same, the food was excellent, the meat was halal, service was great, and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. I'm so glad we found this hidden gem and we'll definitely be back!
