Authentic Thai food with recipes developed in Thailand and the option for legitimately Thai spiciness.
We stopped in for dinner on a Monday evening, knowing about this place's reputation, and my wife having taken their cooking class back in Thailand several years ago. We ordered:
-Papaya salad ($15). Classic salad done very well, with plenty of crisp papaya, carrot, tomato, and crushed peanuts, coated in a sweet, very spicy, and citrusy dressing. Excellent.
-Pad kee mao (drunken noodle) ($18) with tofu added ($3) -- we asked for this to be 2 out of 3 spiciness. This one comes with classic wide noodles, along with broccoli, carrot, onion, and bell pepper. But, honestly, this was less than maximally inspiring pad kee mao, lacking a bit of flavour. Perfectly fine, but there are many better versions of this dish around.
-Massaman curry ($17) with mock duck (seitan) added ($4) -- we asked for this to be 3 out of 3 spiciness (Thai spicy). Unusual massaman curry that came with chickpeas (!), potato, carrot, broccoli, and onion, as well as the really nicely textured mock duck. And oh boy was this spicy! Thai spicy here is legit. Very flavourful, rich but balanced, and very satisfying.
Pleasant, quick service; bare bones but sufficient environment to enjoy a good vegan Thai meal.
