I've been here multiple times and it's always a good spot to settle Thai food cravings. Food and service is good, but definitely some things that could be better.
Crying Tiger was delicious, the steak and the flavourful sauce that's provided works so well! Although, the sticky rice that it comes was a little unexpected for me, as I don't think it really complimented the steak but was kind of just there. I personally liked the saltiness level, but it can come off as too much or MSG filled for those who don't like MSG/salty foods.
Crunchy duck curry was amazing too! The curry was nice and smooth, but the crunchy duck itself was the best; perfect crunchy outside with a soft and melting texture on the inside. Probably my favourite dish. Although, one small bowl of rice doesn't really go along with the amount of curry there was, so we had to pay extra for two bowls of rice which I wasn't really fond of, especially with other Thai restaurants being a LOT more generous with their rice offerings and extras. ($2.25 per extra rice bowl and the bowl is small)
Pad Thai with pork was okay. It was basically average and nothing jaw dropping.
Thai iced tea was great and so were the desserts - not too sweet and loved the cream and toppings on the slices.
This place also does not take reservations so you'll need to wait for a while for a seat or just come at an off time if you don't want to wait 20 min - 1 hour. You can call them asking about seat availability or if they can seat you within a few minutes, but that's the extent.
Overall, the food is affordable and tasty, although the portions can be small for some people. It's definitely a nice place to visit with good food, but I think if you want more authentic Thai food that's more worth your money with their portions, there are definitely other options, and options that you don't have to worry too much about seating!
