This little spot deserves more than its current 3.9 star review! The service is super friendly and engaging (we loved chatting with Sriti, who is so passionate about food) and the food itself was fantastic. Their cold salad rolls were freshly made and jam packed with goodies (avocado, egg, tofu, crisp carrots, cucumber, and pepper). The lunch specials are huge and delish - their pad Thai has a hint of smokiness that really elevates it above traditional “North American” pad Thai. My husband loved his red curry, which was also packed with bright, crisp veggies. This is our new neighbourhood go-to. Thanks!

I’m not sure how this place has any negative reviews. I’ve been ordering from here for 10 years. Everytime I go elsewhere I don’t enjoy it.
The flavours are always so amazing. Portions generous and food is always hot and fresh!
Love this place.

Ordered takeout here several times. First everything was fine. But then later, once they forgot part of the order, and we had to come back. Another time, they forgot the order until we showed up, so it took supsr long and the staff was super rude. And the last time, there was a hair in the food. The food is decent, North American thai food, nothing super exciting to write home about. So after these incidents, we stopped coming.

There are a bunch of old, very negative reviews that made us think twice wether to go eat here or not. However, we decided to give it a chance and were positively surprised. Staff was friendly and portions were a good size and taste. All in all can definitely be recommended.

We were passing by this little Thai Restaurant and weren't sure if we should give it a try as google reviews gave it a 3.9 star rating (02.09.2024). But the restaurant looked nice and we were greeted really friendly so we stayed.
We really liked the Satay
Chicken and the Chicken rice noodles but also the beef with veggies was really nice. The portions were absolutely enough. I wanted to make a foto of the Satay Chicken but we ate it before I could make one.. twice!!

We want to help this underrated restaurant with a good review as we had a really pleasant stay. Thank you!

Good value lunch special! $11.99 and the portion is huge! At this economy, basically cheaper than buying groceries

Just wanted to say if any of you leaving bad reviews knew anything about thai food then you would know that ketchup is actually part of the base of pad thai sauce, google it :)))

Terrible food. The pad thai was drowning in what tasted like barbeque sauce.

Wonderful! The service was quick and courteous, the food absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the Coconut Soup, the Spicy Thai Fried Rice, and the Thai Spicy Noodle (Phad Kee Mao).
Not only was the food fabulous, the portions were generous. We've done pickup and dine-in, and can confidently recommend both options !

I visited alone for a quick bite. Staff quickly assumed I was there for pick up, which made me hesitate to dine in and it didn’t make me feel good that I was alone.
Ordered the fried calamari, and it was pretty bad. Probably the worst calamari I’ve ever had, everything from seasoning, to the coating, to the sauce! I was very hungry but couldn’t actually have more than a third of it.
At $15.99 plus tax and tips, I expected at least a bit better.
