Note: This is primarily a takeout/lunch spot. Not super fancy for a sit down dinner.

Pad thai here is exceptionally good. Might be slightly different than other places you've had but have an open mind. It's a huge portion too!

I've had a few other things, fried rice, green curry. Those were also great, but portions were more normal.

Phone response at opening can be a bit spotty, but otherwise they answer quickly and prepare the food very quickly.

Really surprised at the low quality of our experience considering the 4.2 rating on Google Maps. A few issues that contributed to this rating, so that someone else might not make the same misjudgment that I did:

-While they have tables for sitting, this is essentially a lunch counter and not a restaurant. Despite asking to stay to dine, they packaged everything up in takeout containers as they don't have dishes for serving. You order at the counter and pay in advance.
-They don't have a physical copy of their menu available. We were directed to look up the menu on our phones. It seems like it would be easy to have a few sheets printed and tacked up on the wall with their menu options as a bare minimum, especially for those who don't have a smartphone.
-Huge range of quality in the food. One dish was flavourless, one was too oily, and the last was good. Definitely not a consistent experience.
-The restaurant itself was freezing cold, like they had the thermostat turned way down, perhaps because they are not expecting people to stay and get comfortable.
-The floor was quite dirty, with chunks of road salt scattered throughout. It hasn't snowed in a week at this point, which makes me wonder how long that salt has been sitting in the middle of the floor.
-While sitting in the restaurant over the lunch period (12-1pm), not a single other person entered the restaurant. This is not a complaint per se, but lack of traffic can be a red flag that people are avoiding a place.

I was really hoping to find a good sit-down Thai place, now that Bangkok Cuisine has removed their dining tables, but this is definitely not the replacement I was looking for.

Best Pad Thai I've ever had. It's more of a takeout place, but we enjoyed staying in the bistro. Service was warm, welcoming and very personal. The lady is very pleasant and chatty. Her recommendation was spot on amazing! We got chicken Pad Thai. Would try everything off their menu.

This is our favorite thai place. They have a great menu, I think they have the best pad thai in town. Conveniently located in Belmonte village. We have only done takeout.

Quick service. Green shrimp curry was not very good, oily and not very flavorful. Shrimp were over done. Rice that came with was dried out. Spring rolls were fine, but nothing that would make me come back.

Nope. Crab Rangoon are crazy hard, like concrete. Waay too much fish sauce in the curry. The sweet and sour chicken is just weird, and a bioluminescent orange. Everyone chose to go hungry, over eating it anyway.It’s sad. I used to love this place years ago and lived down the street, but standards have slipped. Owners should take a good look at what’s coming out of the kitchen and make changes before it’s too late. Sorry.

Recently had their Chicken Pad Thai (#17), which was pretty good (though I personally would like this better if it had crushed peanuts on top. My opinion aside, I still enjoyed it ?).Just tried their Chicken Pad Thai Curry (#62) a few days ago, and it was amazing! I will definitely get this again as it was so delicious! ❤️I really appreciate how large their takeout portion sizes are, you can easily get 2 meals per serving.The lady serving us was also really nice, and was really helpful answering some questions we had about the menu ?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
