This cute place is a new family-run Thai joint. Don't miss out: The big China Dragon sign hasn't yet been removed!Most of the menu is the standard Thai fare, but they have a couple of twists. What I would consider standard is executed very well; the vegetables are crisp, the homemade dried hot peppers are a grand addition to the meal, and the presentation was delightful.The twists:The sticky rice was PERFECT. It had a little bit of sweetness and was clearly steamed the appropriate way.The cashew-nut calamari appetiser was to-die-for. Sweet, tangy, and utterly delightful.The house pad thai was also great; many (many many) places in the area use sen mee (tiny) rather than sen lek (small) noodles; you wouldn't think that matters so much, but it totally changes the experience. They also use enough tamarind in their sauce for me to feel that it is authentic.Being an 'Asian Bistro' who just got their start, I'm happy that they stick to Thai. I'd LOVE to have a pad see ew made from these folks because they would kill it. But also knowing the care, craft, and history that they have with Vietnamese food, I may hope they steer out of their lane a little because I know they would rock the hell out of some of that. Not a full pho menu, but just some little things...My main bug was the pop-radio music. It was seriously off-putting to listen to dancy pop music while seated to have dinner. Music sets a mood, and... well, I was there to eat, rather than dance. :-D

Surprised to see that they changed owner to “Bamboo Legend” (#1 Insauga Thai in Mississauga), soft launch right now, and SO excited for this here (when we visit family).The Bamboo Legend Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle we tried tonight were AMAZING! Exactly what you’d hope for in flavour! (If you want spicy, have to request for it when ordering, but side spice is great too!). Massive portions too!

Fresh. Delicious. Will order again.Great experiences so far!

Always friendly staff and great food! The wonton soup is amazing!There is new owners, take this information with a grain of salt.

Support local. Food always hot and fresh. Won't be disappointed

Hot and sour soup was delicious!

I have loved this place until recently. The past three orders have been awful - overcooked veggies - tough microwaved chicken - tasteless sauces - I do NOT get it ?! SO disappointing

Tasty food nice people too bad no delivery

This restaurant serves generous portions of authentic Chinese food and western Chinese food - something for everyone!
