Question: Is it a good pasta meal?

Had friends from out of province visiting and this was top on my list as the old courthouse has some of the best interior design in the city. Great ambiance with hip hop music playing in the background. Arrived for dinner on a week night, reservations recommended but not necessary for small groups. Extensive menu with a huge pizza selection and daily specials. Average to higher prices but excellent service. Ordered the special ravioli di malale (with braised pork) and pesto. It wasn't amazing, the pesto tasted a bit bland and could have used a bit more garlic. The ravioli was pretty standard and slightly chewy. But the Tonnarelli alla Norine was delicious! Generously covered in black truffles, it was filling and flavorful with each bite. The pastas are generally more chewy which was perfect to my friend's liking. Tiramisu was not special, probably wouldn't order again but the hazelnut gelato was amazing. So rich and creamy, immediately regretted ordering my go to Tiramisu. The menu has lots of options which brings me back every time. Would really say 3.5 stars but can't give half stars on here.

Question: Does this food stink others?

We went here with our expectations quite low. After all, this was, and still is, a restaurant for kids. And one that I quite liked when I was one. I was hoping the same would be the case for my 3-year-old. He liked it. And I liked the decor. Same charming antiques that I remembered still lined the place. The difference? A wait staff that seemed to be annoyed by customers that decided to look at them. Apparently, we were getting in their way. Fair enough. But hey, perhaps the artifacts that line your restaurant should come down if you down if you actually don't want our eyes on them? But then that would mean you'd only have your food to rely on. Our server was just as cold. We felt like we were at Arby's on the side of the highway. No how are you doing or Is everything ok. Just rushed, abrupt, unfriendly, almost annoyed service. It was as if she assumed that we were tourists and therefore could treat us like she'd never see us again. Well, we're not tourists, but I assure you, this was definitely our last visit. As for the food..where do I start. My wife's salad looked like it was fished out of the Mcdonald's trash bin. My soup was a step down from something in a can. And our pasta tasted like a Michelina's minus the microwavable box. I'm sentimental. Very much so, actually. But when the service and food is this bad, next time I'll get my fill of nostalgia on Youtube.

Question: How do you like the environment?

I like the atmosphere of the entire place. When you enter the restaurant, they will greet to you loudly in Japanese-style welcome. Although they greet to every customers who enter of leave, you may feel they are crazy. Its really a what a izakaya feels like.The food is truly fantastic and the service is professional as well. We ordered deep fried chicken knees, cheese oysters (which I like the most), Udon and unagi rice. I would strongly recommend cheese oyster which tastes amazingly delicious. For the next time, I would order more side food because after around 1 hour, I felt hungry again.Anyway, this is the place you can't miss and you want to go more than once after you tried the food there.

Question: What do you think about location?

This place was suggested to my wife and I by some foodie friends on a recent trip to Toronto. Give yourself plenty of time. We waited about 30 minutes to check-in and another 30 or so to get seated. We were able to find a corner of the bar to grab some drinks for the wait. Great atmosphere and decor. Be sure to read the story behind Pai that is in a few places of the restaurant. Our food was really good and we left with full, happy bellies!

Question: What about place?

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant! This is your standard Keg restaurant only it is located in a HUGE mansion, making for an amazing ambiance and a gorgeous setting. I went here for a friend's birthday on a Saturday night, we were a group of 15 and since they don't take reservations on Fridays or Saturdays we were certainly in for a long wait (we were told about an hour). After our wait had exceeded an hour and we asked for an update we were told we would be seated shortly and the manager would do something for us. Figuring our group was on the verge of starvation (which we were) the manager came to us with a plate of canopies topped with a goat cheese bruschetta, absolutely delicious! A few minutes later she comes with a giant plate of fully loaded nachos, and these may have been some of the best nachos I have ever had! Loaded with lots of cheese (and high quality cheese at that) made them warm and very gooey, lots of jalapenos added a nice kick, I would definitely order these when I go back!  When we were finally seated everybody seemed to enjoy their food. It's the standard Keg menu so you are guaranteed a good steak. I had the French Onion soup to start and this was mind-blowing! So much cheese on top that was perfectly melted without being greasy, the broth was very rich and had a good beef flavour while the onion added a nice sweetness. I have never had a bad steak at the keg, and this occasion was no different. New York strip was cooked to perfection and was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, this time I tried it cooked Chicago style (meaning it is charred on the outside and cooked to order inside). This added a nice charred crust to the steak and actually did a better job of sealing in the juices; this cooking style is definitely worth a try. For sides I always go for the twice baked potato; bacon, cheese, and baked potato how could you go wrong?  This place gets bonus marks for letting our huge group split the bills and not adding an automatic gratuity (which most restaurants do for large groups). Definitely a great place to go with a large group, on a special occasion, or simply for a nice dinner. Overall great food, beautiful restaurant and good service! *My only complaint is the drinks were pretty expensive, bought a shot for my friend and it was nearly $9 for a standard shot! That's pricy!

Question: How do you like the food?

I think we found the best tacos in Toronto. Great tasting big tacos for a reasonable price. Faves were the mahi mahi and baja fish. Gobernador was a bit too salty for me. Cool drinks available too to wash down the tacos. Only open for lunch or early dinner, but awesome place.

Question: How would you rate lunch?

The Monarch Tavern is a place that you can bring in your lunch or dinner from one of the many great local eateries (California Sandwiches, San Francescos, Bitondos etc).  There is now an in  house option.Caplansky's is in the back of the second floor of the Monarch Tavern.  The menu is very limited, but it makes up for its size in quality.   The owner brines and smokes beef to come up with a truly great smoked meat.  It's not like any deli meat I've had in Toronto, Montreal or New York.  It's a deli meat but much more smoky, yet not overly so.  If you like deli, go to Caplanskys for a sandwich.  His hand cut fries are pretty good too.

Question: How is the server?

Amazing food with amazing servers!! The menu was filled with different dishes that everyone can enjoy. I cant eat no pork nor shrimp but in Pai they have multiple dishes that suite my needs. The server we got was Jason and he's amazing!!! My sister knows him personally so he hooked us up with dessert. Jason was very informative and knew all the dishes as well as gave his personal opinion on certain foods he likes. The atmosphere had a chill vibe with some cool indie pieces. The restaurant was situated underground and near a cool district with lots of other cool restaurants. Food,I went for the vegetable spring rolls as a starter and boy oh boy it was very tasty. The dipping sauce it came with was a winner. The roll was your typical vegetable spring roll with a hard crispy breaded coating that delivers an incredible taste. Next is the main appetizer, I got the Chicken Pad Thai in medium. Slightly disappointed because I expected it to be a bit more spicy but nonetheless it was still tasty!  Not your typical pad thai for sure. Generally I dont finish food from other restaurants but Pai was an exception. Every bite I took from the pad thai made me want to get another. The portion you get was massive, enough to feed two but if you're really hungry then this should be a good size portion. Lastly the dessert, I'm saddened to think, I actually forgot the name of the dessert but if your Filipino it was a twist on suman. The dessert was sticky rice but it had a sweet taste to it. The taste wasn't a sweet overpowering dessert it was quite subtle. It had mango on top. Overall Pai is the best Thai food i've ever ate in my life. If you need to impress someone or need a place to eat, make sure to check out this place. Dont forget to ask if Jason could serve you, he's awesome! Coming back for sure.

Question: How is that food satisfying?

I give two stars for the view only. The attitude of the server was very terrible because I was NOT satisfied with the dish he presented. The dish was made for at least 4 people and he did not warn us how big the dish it would be. Aside from the size of the dish, the taste is beyond horrible. I grew up eating oyster and I immediately noticed how unhealthy the color and the taste of the oyster was. We asked him to bring us a plate of fresh cracked oyster after the complain and this time he actually brought us fresh oyster and it looked completely different from the oyster he gave us originally. Also the muscles were empty, literally. We found more than 15 shells and they were all empty.. where did my muscles go? The salmon is smoked and baked and tastes very dry. Over all the service was ok and the food I give it 1.8/10

Question: How good is the food?

Glorious!  Unlike every other Japanese style restaurant in Toronto, Guu is definitely an experience with its decor to the way it greets its customers.  More importantly, the food was divine and the Japanese wine was unlike other wines I have tasted.  As Will mentioned, the dishes span from $4-$11.  In my party of 8 people, we ended up ordering I think 3/4ths of the menu + alcohol.  Unfortunately, I came in after my party ordered (I was running late), hence from my pictures I have no idea what dishes we actually ordered.  Altogether, our bill came out to approximately $250 which I thought was reasonable considering how much food we all ate.  Surprisingly, we all cleared our plates but suffered (at least I did) a bout of food coma.  I will definitely be back for another round.

Question: Why is the menu so creative?

I really enjoyed my meal at Momofuku Daisho and was very impressed with the food and service. I came with a party of 6 and our server was very helpful in making sure we ordered enough food and the right dishes. We ordered the buttermilk biscuits which were the best biscuits I've ever had in my life and I don't even like biscuits. We also got the heirloom tomato salad, the poached cod, the beef short ribs, the rice cakes and the chanterelles. My favourite dish was definitely the rice cakes, they were spicy but not painfully spicy. All of the food was really good and I would recommend someone to order our exact order except maybe the heirloom tomato salad as that didn't really wow me. My only complaint about Daisho is the cocktail list. I expected a higher level of drinks available- more unique tasting cocktails with fruits, flowers, etc. I had the lavender lemonade and it literally just looked and tasted like a normal lemonade. Other than the drink list I would happily return to Daisho! It was oddly affordable too we split all of our dishes between 5 of us and I had two cocktails and my bill was only $60.

We ordered the buttermilk biscuits which were the best biscuits I've ever had in my life and I don't even like biscuits. <hl> We also got the heirloom tomato salad, the poached cod, the beef short ribs , the rice cakes and the chanterelles. <hl> My favourite dish was definitely the rice cakes, they were spicy but not painfully spicy. All of the food was really good and I would recommend someone to order our exact order except maybe the heirloom tomato salad as that didn't really wow me. My only complaint about Daisho is the cocktail list. I expected a higher level of drinks available- more unique tasting cocktails with fruits, flowers, etc. I had the lavender lemonade and it literally just looked and tasted like a normal lemonade. Other than the drink list I would happily return to Daisho! It was oddly affordable too we split all of our dishes between 5 of us and I had two cocktails and my bill was only $60.

Question: How did you like the dish?

My boyfriend brought me to Byblos for my birthday celebration! We loved our experience at Byblos and decided to revisit :) Service was excellent. Our server had great recommendations for popular items on the menu and was very friendly. The atmosphere is candlelit and dim, good for dates!ORGANIC HOUSE LABNEH (5/5)(Fennel + Honey + Olive Oil + Barbari Bread)Tasted like a very yummy humus haha! It's soo delicious! The bread was covered with different types of sesame seeds so eating the bread itself was already very tasty. Adding the labneh was a plus! Loved it!EGGPLANT KIBBEH (4/5)(Zucchini Flower + Baharat + Chickpea Batter + House Yogurt)I was super excited to try this crispy eggplant again but I realized they cooked it differently from how they did before. I'd prefer the crispy eggplant than this way of cooking. Both are still good.WAGYU LAHMEH PIDE (5/5)(House Turkish Paste + Fior De Latte + Toum + Basil Cress)How can flat bread taste so good?! I'd order this again and again. The wagyu paste was delicious and the bread itself was very chewy. This dish wasn't dry at all because a lot of cheese was drenched on top of the bread. The smell makes you even more hungry.GRILLED WHOLE BRANZINO (5/5)(Chermoula + Saffron Toum + Watercress)We came back for more of this!! I told my friends to order this dish at Byblos and all their reactions were like..Fish..?! Yes! Fish! They make it so good! The fish meat is drenched with flavour and the best part of this is.. It's boneless! DESSERTS:LOUKOUMADES (5/5)(Attiki Honey + Walnut Praline + Burnt Honey Ice Cream + Halva)Tasted like chewy donuts dipped with honey glaze. It tastes really really good - especially the burnt honey ice cream! I suggest eating each of these little bits separately first. Each one has its own flavour. Once mixed together, it creates another type of texture!PIZZELLE (3/5)(Baklava Ice Cream + Salted Caramel + Cous Cous Praline)The Baklava ice cream was amazinggg! The cous cous praline on top of the cookie was also delicious. The only thing lacking was the cookie itself. It was kind of soggy.

Question: What do you think about food?

This place is over priced for their food and the food has no quality. Bad service the manager was rude asking us to pay 20% tip the seatings are not enough about lucky not coming back. They wouldn't clean the table very terrible experience

Answer: Bad service

Question: How was the service?

Bad Service. Excellent food. Too bad the service was horrible. Because the service was so bad, I even downloaded this app, made an account and am writing this review because it was that bad. The waiter was rude as ****. Here is why. When my friends and I were ready to order, we called the waiter over and he told us to wait so we waited. It turns out he was getting the card machine for the table next to us. After he gave the card machine to the table next to us, I asked him again because now I had a question about the menu and he responded to I told you to wait. I was shocked because I had a question and he was just standing there waiting for the person at the other table to be done with the card machine. In all honesty, I had a question about how many pieces the sashimi and sushi was. So my friends and I waited until he came over. When he came over, I asked him how many pieces the sushi and sashimi came in he told us. Knowing that the sushi came in two pieces and sashimi came in three pieces, i momentarily asked my friends to clarify what we wanted - it was less than 10 seconds - and the waiter told us to call him when we were ready and he chucked his notepad at the bar table (which was right infront of our table). The tone he was using was unbelievably rude, disrespectful and discourteous. I was shocked that he had the audacity to treat us perhaps because we were just some university kids and were not grown ups which does not mean the waiter could treat us that way. It was ridiculous. Not only that when it came down to the bill, when I was in mid sentence to telling him that we were going to split two ways, he took off who knows where when the restaurant was empty. I was absolutely shocked. There were so many other things I would have tried but because of the terrible service my hunger ceased immediately. For a high end restaurant, to have such a rude server was just very sad and disappointing. Compared to Jabistro, Jabistro's service and food were on par. However, this restaurant was just too disappointing.

Question: Is price affordable?

I was really excited to try the food at Khao San Road, since I had heard such great things and seen the Yelp ratings. And, the raves about the food are absolutely correct. The food is good (but even still, I've had better Thai). Unfortunately, the owners and the service I received completely ruined my experience. I was staying at a local hotel, which made reservations for our party (and I heard the concierge make the reservation). When we got to the restaurant, they first couldn't find our reservation; after waiting 10 minutes, they tried to seat the four of us at a table for two in the back corner. There was no way the four of us could fit around this small table. So, the OWNER (note: not just an employee) apologized and offered us a round of drinks on the house to make up for the delay. We were finally seated, but again the owner came over to our table to tell us that we didn't have a reservation and basically called us a liar. We asked him what he would like us to do - we already had appetizers on the table, so he told us to stay (so what was the point of him harassing us again?). The bill came and our drinks were not taken off the bill. We called the two co-owners over and they told us we all must have misheard and that had never said anything like that. Blatant lie. He then called us liars and told us we were trying to get out of paying. He then proceeded to charge our credit cards twice, so somehow I now am paying three times what I should have been paying (since those drinks were never taken off). As a customer, I've never been treated so poorly. So, yes, the food is good, but there are equally good / better places out there that don't treat their customers so horribly. Do yourself a favor, avoid the crowd and wait, the insults and harassment, and go eat somewhere else.

Question: What is the quality of the food?

Came here for a lunch with colleagues. I've been here a couple of times before and always had a good experience. This time was no exception. I had heard from another yelp elite friend about some dish off the menu called Islamic noodles and decided to try it. And I have to say that it was absolutely delicious! It's basically noodles with vegetables and your  choice of protein tossed in a nicely seasoned creamy curry sauce. Sooo good!! This is a dish I will definitely order again. On the bad side, the water quality here is really really bad. I normally just have tap water with my food but the water here tastes chlorine! It's like drinking diluted bleach. I don't know why the water tastes so bad here because everywhere else in Toronto the water quality is good. I think Salad King should look into this because it really brings down the food experience. Because of the poor water quality I rate them 3 stars, although food alone would get 5 stars.

I don't think I would eat.  Just not my preference.I am looking forward to returning again, soon!

Question: Is it a good menu?

Amazing from start to finish!We sat on the back patio, which has a great atmosphere, on a weekday for an early dinner. The patio is all communal tables which adds to the casual and social feel. All of the front of house staff were charming and welcoming. They were attentive and friendly without being obtrusive or fake. I had the jesus juice cocktail, which was tasty and refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness for a very hot summer day. We had a bunch of the tacos, and all were perfect. A big standout for me was their shrimp taco. The shrimp inside was breaded and fried, which made me nervous that it would only taste like batter and oil. I was so wrong. It had a wonderful shrimp flavor that was perfectly complemented by the sauce. The beef cheek was also a highlight. Although there are lots of places to get cheaper tacos in the city, I will definitely be back to Grand Electric. The patio, service, cocktails, and variety of delicious taco options make it absolutely worth it. Would recommend to anyone.

Question: How fast was the bartender?

I have mixed feelings about this place. Although I love the ambiance, decor, and the food... I wasn't a fan of the service. Once we had arrived, it took a while for the host(ess) to notice us and have us seated. After ordering there was some confusion and delay as well. The food was really good.... we ordered the charcuterie board and I think the Diavolo pizza. I loved the cured meats (every bite!) and the lightness of the pizza. The drinks are really good too! I've been here on a couple of late nights and the patio is the perfect place to be on a warm summer night.

Answer: The drinks are really good too

Question: How is the lunch?

If you want cheap Thai food this is the place to go! This place is always packed and there's always a line. But the wait isn't too long. People come and go really quick. If you don't have much time it's a good place for take out too.  Came here a couple of times already and decided to write a review. Most of the time I ordered the curry. The curry here is delicious but the rice that comes with it isn't too good.  Portions for the curry is a little small. Needs more rice. The fried rice dishes here are also pretty good. The tom yum soup here is cheap but is lacking flavour. It really sour and spicy. Wouldn't recommend it. I've also ordered the Thai street noodles. The portions are huge. There's a lot of rice noodles. But the broth lacked flavour even though it's cooked with shrimp and chicken. It was just too sour. It's so sour that the noodles taste sour. It's not salty enough. The only thing you can taste is sour and spicy. Really would not recommend. They need to make major improvements to the recipe of this. Additionally, there's a problem. The water here is tap water like most places but it has a really weird odour. You should ordered a drink instead..... The Thai ice tea is good. Overall, good for the curries !

Question: How is the food?

After all the hype - just ok. View was FANTASTIC and the revolving part was really great. We dined about an hour before sunset so we saw the city in the day, dusk, and after dark, all lit up. Service wasn't very good - I think it was kind of busy, but that's not really an excuse. It seemed like they wanted it to be a very fancy dining experience (prices, decor) but it came off as pretty touristy. There were lots of families there with loud children and people wearing jeans. For ~$100/person I would have expected better service, food, and atmosphere. The food was alright - ate from the pre fixe menu and it was normal 'fancy food' salmon, small salads, chocolate cakes, etc. The worst part was that near our side of the restaurant, we happened to have a great view as the sun was disappearing, so lots of other people crowded around our table to take pictures of the sunset against the glass - rude. Good for the view, but maybe just go up there to have drinks? Much better view that the observation deck (which we stopped at on the way down) TERRIBLE view..it was all fenced in for safety I assume, but it made for an awful view.

Question: What do you think about burger?

Been here twice. First time was quite a while back but I had their fried chicken dinner and it was phenomenal!!!! Must try if you haven't yet. My dinning companion at the time had a burger, it was a solid, big burger. But of course the fried chicken was better. Yesterday I finally went to the Stockyards again so I can try their ribs. Some bits were dry and chewy, but overall good value for what you pay for ($15 for half rack, $30 for one rack). My dinning companion had the pulled pork sandwich. I tried a bit, it was veryyyy good. Bottom line: fried chicken is a must get.

Question: How are the prices of the place?

The Thai food scene in Toronto has taken off lately. If you are aching for some really good Thai food, this place might not be for you. Having that said, Salad king is a fine place for a bite for run-of-the-mill Thai dishes.My favourite dish here is their golden curry which is quite tasty. Prices are cheap and you can get a decent dish for around $12-13 (after tax+tip)The place is quite busy on weekends, and it is almost always quite loud. Communal seating in the middle of the restaurant can be charming and annoying at the same time.A thing I do notice here is that service tends to be slow. Food comes fast once you ordered, but the hard part is waiting for your server....and the same happens when you want to pay. If you are in a rush and think this is a place for a quick meal, you might be disappointed.

Question: Who is the third place?

I've been hearing a lot about this place, but have been hesitant about going because a lot of people have said it isn't worth the extra money compared to the regular $2 Banh Mis on Spadina. They are wrong. Although the $2 Banh Mis are a steal, and make for a quick lunch, you are certainly getting what you pay for when you go to Banh Mi Boys. My sandwich came up to $6.77, which was very reasonable for what I got. This place must have an immense amount of pressure to keep their prices down given a) the competition in the areab) the fact that most people who know what a Banh Mi is are used to paying $2 on SpadinaTherefore, the fact that they can offer what they do at this price point is impressive.The Food (Pork Belly Sandwich):- The bread was very fresh, tasty, and was toasted perfectly (not too hard, not too soft)- There was a decent amount of tasty, tender meat. It was a little fatty, but this is to be expected from pork belly- The meat was of good quality; leaps and bounds better than the mystery meat of the classic $2 Banh Mi. - The vegetables were also very fresh, and I enjoyed how there was a pickle in the sandwich which I have never had before- The hot sauce was great as always (I'm a big fan of this sweet hot sauce in Banh Mi sandwiches)- I asked for spicy, and the hot sauce was unevenly distributed with one half being medium and the other half being very hot. This isn't a deal breaker, but just an observation.The atmosphere:- Loved the music they were playing in here. Great old school hip hop playing at good volume- The decor was decent. I liked the lamp shades on the lights- The staff was friendly and helpful.- The cleanliness of the place was pretty poor, and this is why the place gets a 3, instead of the 4 it would have received if it was cleaner. There were discarded napkins and food under every single table, with as many as 10 or more discarded napkins under some tables. The 2 tables that were free had varying degrees of mess on the tables from previous customers. There were no tables whose tops were completely clean. I can understand that some customers are quite messy and that the employees may not have had time to clean up after these people, but given that there was a mess under and on every table indicates to me that staff had not cleaned in while, and did not care about the establishment's general cleanliness. One of my biggest pet peeves at a fast food joint is when the place is this messy, because it makes me feel like I'm eating in a barn.That being said, the food here was great, and I will go back to this place, and change my review if the place cleans itself up. This restaurant is a welcome and significant improvement to the other fast food options on this corner, being McDonalds, A&W and Hero Burger.

Question: How was the state of the table?

It seems like many of the Yelpers concur that Jacobs is the place to be.  From the moment they accommodated me by placing the roses I ordered at our table, to the time our evening ended, it was amazing.  Pure class! It's not your typical dark dungeon of a steakhouse.  Dimly lit but you could see who was around you.  First when we arrived, the provided us a with complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate our anniversary.  The server gave us a moment and then explained the types of steaks that were on the menu.  The bread was freshly made and would have ordered more if we wanted plenty of carbs.  It was so deelish.  The bread was shaped like a large muffin.  It was light and melted it your mouth.  Then came the ever popular Caesar Salad made right at your table.  The person serving it to us explained what went into the salad.  I would never order another Caesar Salad from a restaurant again.  The person mentioned that there is a video of how to make their version of the salad.  I'm gonna do it. Then came the steaks.  For sure you will pay a pretty penny for them, but they are to die for.  I got the 10 oz Wagyu steak and my gf got an 8 oz aged steak.  As always, she said mine was better.  :) We shared ice cream for dessert.  You have a choice of three of the six flavours.  We chose mango, white chocolate and dark chocolate.  In the end, they provide you with 2 chocolate chip muffins.The food and the service was definitely excellent.  I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would go back in a heartbeat.

Question: How is the quality of place?

I used to love this place. Gorgeous view of the lake, cute chairs and blankets, yummy burgers, and a live DJ. I even came here to celebrate St. Patrick's day last month and had a great time. However, it seems as though the reception is handled by unprofessional hostesses who make old customers feel very unwelcome. I'll tell you why I say this. We came down here at a semi busy time, but from what we checked, there were plenty of empty tables both upstairs and on the patio on both sides of the restaurant (The restaurant has 2 different entrances). We were greeted by a hostess who told us that the wait time to get a table is about 30 minutes. When we told her there are plenty of empty tables, she said that there are people ahead of us on the waiting list, when clearly there was nobody around waiting to be called! As a matter of fact, we saw a guy who came and told her that they never called his name and he got angry when she said she had called his name and there was no response.My boyfriend did not like her attitude and neither did I. We ended up sitting at the loud bar, instead of the more spacious area upfront. Now, I'm not going to ignore the fact that the waiters are very good at their job and that I like their food and beer. That's why I'm giving them a 2 stars instead of 1. You see! A terrible hostess with a crappy attitude can change the whole game.

Question: How was the ambience?

Definitely lives up to the hype!  It's busy at all times but if you're a small group it shouldn't be too hard to get a seat.  They pack people in tight like a can of sardines so don't expect much privacy or quiet. Service was about what you'd expect in a packed place, food came quicker than i was expecting and appetizer arrived in minutes.Food was amazing.  We ordered the Fresh Rolls as a starter, which is a pretty standard thai dish but their dipping sauce was really impeccable (just the right amount of heat for an appetizer). As our main course we shared a chef's special pad thai (chicken) and a pad gra prao (minced beef on rice).  The pad thai was greasy and delicious, I like how they put a twist on the standard pad thai (noodles+sauce made it a bit soggy but i think that was on purpose because it tasted awesome).  The pad gra prao tasted good as well, but was kind of overshadowed by the pad thai.  It's a pretty common dish, but i enjoyed the way they made it (nice and filling).If you like spicy you might want to go hotter than medium, which was more of a slow burning aftertaste, than a sweating forehead hotness.
