Been here quite a few times and still one of my favourite downtown restaurant. The place is cozy and charming. Food is amazing. Friendly staff and portions are generous.

Highly recommended their Chiang Mai Shred with Lime, Coriander Vinaigrette; Ping Gai; Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai; Thai Spicy Chicken Peanut Noodle bowl. The rest of the menu is also good.

If you haven’t been here yet…..I can’t say enough of the food quality and love for this restaurant. Tonight we were spoiled with the Cosmic Burger and Pin Gai Chicken. Followed by a raspberry cheesecake and carrot cake.
Do not under estimate this restaurant. It surpassed all of our expectations and we laughed at how orgasmic our bites were.
They could easily charge double for this quality of food. Thank you for the amazing meal.

4.5 stars. Great spot. Well worth a visit. My new spot for comfort food in downtown Toronto. Portion was a little cheap, and didn’t come with a proper soup spoon, but otherwise amazing.
