However, when it comes to execution, the food is just ordinary, probably below your average Thai food. \n\nThe vegetarian fresh Thai Cold Rolls ($5.95) were disappointing. They were lacking any flavour and were missing the nice accents you usually find, like fresh mint. They came with a thimble-sized serving of dipping sauce.\n\nThe Tom Yum soup was very sweet, lacking in heat or other flavours. It was also expensive at $7.95 for an individual portion.\n\nThe green mango salad was actually ripe yellow mango. It was sweet, with sweet sauce. It was missing any brininess, or heat or some crunch.\n\nThe Thai Basil Prawns ($12.95) was supposed to be tiger prawns, but were actually quite small. Moreover, there weren't many of them. The basil was not pronounce. The prawns were served in some goopy sauce without much flavour. The dish didn't come with any rice.\n\nThe service is hurried and leaves something to be desired."^^ . .
