Hello - the food was quite good. I do recommend not to get a high spice level in the papaya salad, it's really not necessary and takes away from the flavour of the papaya. We enjoyed the 3 flavour pad thai (thai spicy) and the rice dish with shrimp and egg (spicy). Unfortunately, I found a piece of wire in one of my dishes and did not continue to eat my food. I asked the waiter to notify the kitchen and he came back to verify it was likely from the wire they clean the wok with. I was not offered any compensation for the dish, which was very disappointing.

Medium spicy Bangkok style Pad Thai. The best. Better than the one at Pai!

Excellent food and pleasant service. The kabocha squash fritters are a must-order item! There are no reservations and entire party must be present to be seated, but overall it's well worth the wait!!

Great place yo try authentic Thai food. Our group ordered appetizers that was so good with large portions to share. The pumpkin squash was really tasty. For the mains, the three flavour pad Thai was the best tasting. Fir drinks, the signature Thai iced tea was really good, not to sweet considering the amount of ice is in the drink. Singha beer is good for import. Music was bit on the loud side for large table conversations.

Cozy Thai location in downtown. Came on a Friday evening and it was quite busy, and the seating is quite close together (something to note). Had the pad thai, which was very flavourful and saucy. The curry was very delicious and had good seasoning. The dishes were a bit on the higher end for the portions, but overall not too bad. Service was very friendly.

We last visited this place over 3 years ago and then our first visit post pandemic restrictions. Firstly, don’t expect comfort seating because that’s impossible in such a busy eating joint. With 2 kids we thanked our stars we got a table (no online reservations).The food - we ordered the chicken massaman curry for the kids with zero spice and that was loved by them! The potatoes and chicken in a coconut sauce was lapped up quickly with the rice!I love Padthai and seem to have an annoying habit of ordering it every Thai space I go to. The flavors were spot on! And everything tasted fresh and not out of a can and cooked! Also the piquant spice was perfect.The hubster ordered a fiery Thai red curry and wasn’t disappointed. He chose to have it at a spice level of Thai 3 but he likes it that way! We enjoyed the fresh mix of lemongrass, the galangal and ginger-garlic.I could’ve ordered more but we chose to eat quickly but the noise was just too loud for us! ??However don’t hesitate to enjoy their homemade chilli sauce ?

Easily, without a doubt, a 5 star Thai restaurant! I'd actually give it 6 if I could it was that authentic and tasty.People complain about the lack of reservations and the loud music and yeah, that's true, but it doesn't impact the quality of the food or the service. Both of which are top notch IMO.We both got pad Thai. I got their Bangkok style Pad Thai spicy level and my wife got their Three Flavours Pad Thai medium spice.Both were packed full of complex flavours and there was a distinct, yet subtle difference, between the two Pad Thai dishes. Their spicy level is hot but nothing crazy. But I was warned that above spicy it gets seriously hot and be warned, I saw plenty of people sweating through their meals!We also got their fried chicken as a starter and it was great, nice light panko crust.We also got their Thai iced tea which, if you have a sweet tooth like, is heaven in a cold, iced glass! Think Vietnamese iced coffee but with tea, and Thai. So so good.All in all this place is well worth the queue and wait.

Khao soi is solid! You can hang out at the bar upstairs while waiting for your table

Came here for dinner before attending a play. Service was quite efficient. The papaya salad was quite spicy. Green curry and pad thai were decent and quite tasty. I enjoyed the Thai iced tea as it was quite strong with nice sweetness to it but it was filled with too much nice.

We tried garlic shrimp, garlic tofu and Iced tea in the starters . The taste was really good and the food was rightly cooked adding a flavour of garlic to the taste buds. The main course was a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavours. We really loved and would definitely come again. The staff was really friendly and the service was quick . Overall, we had a great experience!!!
