  Ordered delivery off the online menu only to be surprised that the prices online do not match the prices being charged. The manager claims a service handles it and they’ve requested the menu be updated but it hasn’t – instead of advising people who call in they just charge whatever price. We ordered Mango Salad (mediocre at best) Pad Thai (flavour was ok) Ginger Beef (beef pieces were too large, unclean – full of tough tendons) and Tom Yum soup (flavor was lack luster). They charge 10.99 for small containers of the soup (the menu online specified 5.99) and claim because they put 3 jumbo shrimp (they weren’t even that jumbo) it justifies such a high cost for soup and you won’t get that quality of shrimp other places – let me tell you not only do most places use the exact same shrimp (Thai Delicious, Spring Rolls) they charge way less and the soup tastes better. I’ve eaten at several dozen Thai restaurants in Toronto and in Whitby and have had more authentic flavours than this place. Will not be eating here again.

  Best Thai food outside of Thailand. This place is my fave restaurant! It is also the closet to real thai food you will get outside of Thailand. The atmosphere is nice, the service is decent and its inexpensive and fun place to go with a group and order an array of dishes to share.

  Okay food and terrible service. The food was okay but to give them credit where its due everyone else in my party enjoyed their food so I wouldnt want anyone basing an opinion on this place just on my review. The issue I have is after multiple mistakes:1) Steamed rice was not brought out with my entre which was so late that I just ended up eating my meal without any rice. Subsequent to eating my last bite of the meat dish I ordered the owner brought the rice out and almost looked confused as to why I didnt want to eat plain rice. She then took the rice away as if it was my fault for not waiting 15 mins for a simple bowl of plain rice to eat with my meat dish. She later returned and in a tone that implied she was doing me a favour I wont charge you $1.99 for the rice. 2) Obviously because of the above incident I put $0 for tip. Everyone else on the table paid their gratuities. She asked me why I didnt tip and I told her I wasnt thrilled with the service and left it at that. She proceed to borderline motion with a pen and receipt to change the tip amount and I was so flabbergasted that I was almost inclined to take the pen and receipt and change the tip. Once I was jarred awake from the awkward situation I said no and she left it at that. Again to give this place credit the food seems decent and I did come here once almost 2 years ago and my wife and I loved it. They did accommodate us bringing our own birthday cake which was great until the waitress came over and asked us if we were ready for the cake and started passing plates down pretty much wrecking the surprise for my wife. All in all I wouldnt go back.
