“ SOOOO AMAZING!!!! Could not recommend enough!!! We had the chicken pad thai and shrimp pad see-leu and it was to die for! The staff were so lovely and sweet. We had such a great experience. The food, the speed, the service, the small, homey atmosphere with the big window was just perfect. The pad thai came with the most beautiful carved carrot butterfly and that completely made my day!!! ”
“ I'm really into this family run Thai place. The flavours are well balanced; no overly cloying sweetness and muted spiciness like other Americanized (canadianized???) Thank places. I think their dinner sets are good value as they also come with soup. I'm eager to go try their lunch combos as well. Service was nice and checked in me multiple times. ”

And the quality is still incredible. So spicy and it hits the spot. Lots of good venerable and meat options and I find that they put a good amount. Typically I get the pad see ew. Thai basil with fried egg. Sticky rice. Red and green curry. I drive to here. Which I didn't know there was a parking around the back. Which is nice. Because the main road where it's facing. Can get quite busy with traffic. I love how much quality they put into their dishes. Thank you ! ”
