It's been there several years now, and am glad they are doing well. It's my
favorite "local" Thai restaurant.

Yes, it is a husband/wife team, and one of the reasons (aside from the good
food) that I particularly like the place is their friendliness. Help keep
them in business! If you like a rich sweet/spicy peanut sauce, try their
Rama Thai (Beef and fresh spinach in this sauce), and specify hotness.
I haven't seen this dish in any other Thai restaurant yet.

It's in the "Westgate West shopping center", between Lawrence Expressway and
Saratoga on Prospect as indicated above. Please note, food fans, that in the
same shopping center is a Trader Joes, Liquor Barn, and a Japanese grocery
(sorry, don't remember name). The Thai restaurant is behind a Sizzler that
fronts on Prospect, next to that BofA. The Japanese grocery is on the way
to the big OSH on the Lawrence Expressway side. On the way, you will pass a
great bagel shop just past the Thai Restaurant. Hmm, I'm getting hungry!
