Dropped by here with my mom on a whim and I’m so glad I did. We just managed beat the lunch rush when we were seated so the place was nice and mellow. They had a/c blasting which was a nice reprieve from the 28 deg weather outside
They gave us a complimentary teapot of lemongrass tea – it smelled lovely but we would have enjoued it more if it were cooler. Ended up getting the thai iced tea which was a sort of milk tea, tom yum soup, pineapple and basil fried rice and pad thai. We chose shrimp as our protein for all 3 dishes since we wanted something nice and light in the heat.
What we forgot to account for were the portion sizes. They’re huge!!! Each dish could easily feed 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are and were piping hot and fresh. The next time we come back, we’ll likely get the drinks and soup again but split a main dish.
As a side note, this place offers a variety of customization options (eg. If you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc) and the service was very quick and friendly. It’s a little bit of an older place since it’s in the heart of Chinatown but you could tell they put effort into keeping it nice and tidy.
Mom and I both give it a 9/10
