A pleasant surprise for a good price! My partner and I were visiting from Toronto, where we live downtown and have access to many "hole in the wall" type restaurants within walking distance. I had a good feeling about this one, and we decided to pop in. Though I agree with previous reviewers that the cuisine is not authentic Thai—in fact, seems to have more of a Szechuan style to it—it was nonetheless delicious with a pleasant amount of heat. We ordered the ginger beef and the prawns with basil leaves, the latter of which we highly recommend for the amazing sauce and generous helping of excellently stir-fried onions, peppers and mushrooms. I'm only giving 4 stars and not 5 for some nit-picky reasons: 1) the spring rolls we ordered could have used more filling, and 2) no liquor licence; we really would have appreciated a cold beer with our meal. Our whole dinner, which included two orders of coconut rice, still only came to $50.

Soo good so happy i found this place! their lunch special is amazing but even if you dont go at lunch its super affordable and soo delicious! Definitely coming back

Delicious and very large portions. Excellent prices as well

Worst Thai I've ever had...zero flavour and terrible protein. Spring rolls and pad Thai were awful...very disappointing.

This is a fantastic restaurant! We usually get shrimp pad Thai & ginger beef.Lately we have had the fried rice with chicken and are very pleased with the flavour and large chunks of chicken- not square little cubes you find at some places.It's a great place & I highly recommend.

Got the Prawn Green Curry Combo that came with salad, chicken satay, and a spring roll. Everything was fantastic and great value with the portions. Will definitely order again.

Great food. Had the cashew chicken, pad Thai, ginger beef. Small portions for the price but really good food.

I ordered the chicken with cashew lunch special. Serving was large for me. There's a little spiciness to it that evens out when you eat the rice.

Super tasty! Good value! Alas no liquor license. Was a good choice on a Friday dinner. Not too busy.

Good curry dishes. Comes with fairly big serving size and they take credit card.
