How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
We tried this new Thai place on St Laurent near Jean Talon this week and we were super happy with it. It's brand new and still figuring things out, but I hope people start to flock to it and fill up the tables so it survives and keeps feeding me hot and sour soup with lemongrass and coconut milk and pad thai and spicy pork... The owner / chef is a charming friendly young Thai woman who came out from the kitchen to chat with us. She told us they were hoping to have their license to be a BYO in the next month which made me gleeful, and that for now pickup orders get a 10% discount because they can't provide delivery. Awesome. The portions were not huge, but the flavours were subtle and fresh and great and inexpensive so next time we'd just try more plates. The one thing that we thought could maybe use a tweak was the spicyness, or at least the scale of spicyness as indicated on the menu - we love spicy food and we went out of our way to order the pork with three spicy pepper icons next to it. It was delicious, really nice meat, fresh green beans, very very tasty, but we would have given it just one spicy pepper icon if the icon distribution were up to us. The pad thai was very tasty but we thought this could have been a bit spicier as well. Not a big issue because the food and service and ambiance were all lovely, but I'd love an extra extra spicy option (or maybe I'll just get some chillis on the side =)...Choose from: a. negative. b. positive. I think the answer is
b.
