Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal. I must have walked by this restaurant a million times but have always written it off as an overly expensive asian fusion/ western influenced asian type restaurant - which is a type of cuisine I typically don't enjoy.
Well, that goes to show I should not be prejudice against asian fusion!
[*Edit: I just looked at their website and I guess their style is listed as Thai Pan ... not sure what that means]
I really don't think the cuisine is authentic - but then again, I could be wrong - I am not that familiar with Thai cuisine. But it doesn't matter because the food is delicious :)
I had the squid mango salad ($9ish). The dish is listed as spicy but I detected no heat. So, if you like your meals with some spice, specifically request the chef dial up the spiciness level. [*Edit* I just looked at their online menu and according to their menu, the squid salad is NOT listed as spicy - no wonder I detected no spice! Sorry, I have a serious case of the mommy brain] .... The slices of mango were firm and sweet. The squid was a good texture. The dressing was a little on the sweet side but still very good. Portion sizes are a little small ... but that is okay. Someone ordering salad probably wants a smaller portion size anyway.
My husband had the yellow curry pad thai which was also quite yummy. The noodles were a nice firm chewy texture. I like yellow curries since as a vietnamese girl, I grew up eating yellow curries. I don't know if I've even seen yellow curries at other Thai restaurants... they usually only have green or red. [*Edit* I am wrong about not seeing yellow curries at other thai restaurants. According to wikipedia, yellow curries are common to Thai cuisine!!!]
I had a taste of the eggplant dish. The eggplant had a nice smokey flavour to it. Very nice :)
The service was friendly. We had a great server who happily divided our bill.
Washrooms are okay.
Decor is sleek and modern. Casual but nice ambience.
We will be back. Hope you check it out too! :)
