This place had my very favorite Drunken Noodles, but they must have changed their recipe. It is no longer the same, which was sad. I also think they need a better system for people waiting for take-out, so they're not sitting in the limited booths / nice seating areas. I might try again at some point and if the drunken noodles are back to their previous perfection, then I'll adjust the score.

Got takeout from this place last week and ordered the Pad See-Ew and the Yellow Curry With Potatoes, I enjoyed both a lot. This was my first time trying Thai food and it definitely lived up to the hype. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to try Thai food or anyone that love Thai food.

I LOVE this restaurant. Very affordable prices for great Thai food. Every dish I’ve tried (and I have tried MANY) has been very yummy.

Orders usually arrive very quickly and are made with fresh, quality ingredients. You can watch them prep their produce on your way to use the washroom.
