Little restaurant off the side street of the lift locks, small patio out front with yellow umbrellas over looking cute cottage/historic shops, inside has a very dated feel. One could easily take this meal to go and sit by the lift lock canals to watch boats go by or to the kiddie beach 5mins away. Lots of free side parking or street parking.
Menu seems safe/typical and the only thai food in the area, seemed busy enough to try as the pizza/pubs nearby were full on the patio or gross looking.
5* Service was very friendly but slow as it looked to be one waitress taking care of the whole place.
We ordered two lunch specials (pad Thai , mango beef curry) and two spring rolls. Tasty yes, but compared to most Toronto Thai it was lacking from garnish and flavour profiles. My friend that suggested this place to me mentioned that, to step up the real flavour you need to ask the chef to make it"real Thai like" but I thought let's see if I don't...
3* Pad Thai- noodles decent, sauce was safe sweet and slightly tangy tamarind, it only came with crushed peanut, some hidden sprigs of bean sprout, a wedge of lime and almost a coriander sprig(so small it could have been parsley greens), eggs were nowhere to be found, and soft pieces chicken.
3.5* Mango Beef curry- made with real curry base and coconut milk but some pieces of beef were hard-chewy and some soft as expected. 2, just 2 chunks of mango found, perhaps the rest of mango got puréed in sauce? The side of rice was the smallest portion I have ever seen, maybe 5 tablespoons so there was more curry than one knew how to eat curry with.
2.5*Spring rolls- ok, typical frozen kind that got deep fried, glass noodles, cabbage, carrot with a vinaigrette of sweet chili
1* Presentation was non existent, it was like being served at home, decent food on a plate that you didn't have to cook.
5* Washrooms very clean
If you're in the area and you are not craving burger, pizza, or ice cream, than this place is a nice change. If you're a foodie you must ask for the, "real Thai cooking" for more flavor instead of the safe Thai I got t read more
