Review from Karyn B.

I gave this place 5 stars because it has what I care about:
-amazing food (SO DELICIOUS)
-very reasonable pricing
-fast service
No, the place is not fancy
No, i wouldn't suggest coming here on a first date
No, it's not glamorous
No, they don't offer a 4 page menu
BUT, the food is really delicious and the prices are quite cheap
The pad thai here is some of the best I've ever had; the perfect amount of sauce and it is VERY tasty
We also always get the fried beef with lemon grass; "Fried" to them means stir fried not deep fried
This is some of the best beef I've ever had, any where
Very tasty, juicy and great
For under $8, you get a plate of beef and steamed rice and a small side of pickled veggies ... (I think a McDonald's big mac meal costs more than that)
I also really like the beef satay soup; a great mix of noodles, beef, thai herbs and peanuts; nice broth too
My family and I always enjoy it here
And usually have leftovers for the next day
And it usually ends up costs $10-$15 a person
You can't go wrong
(it's in a mall - Richlane Plaza I think it's called) -

The Decor: Nothing special. No really, don't turn around, don't judge this book by its cover- go in and sit down and order. I'm usually the only caucasian in the place which tells me I'm in for something authentic. I do get stares from other patrons though!
The ambience: Old tables, uncomfortable chairs and a TV playing chinese soaps at lunch. If you're really brave take a peak into the kitchen which is visible from anywhere your sitting. The servers put up with me and they really do understand your order as long as you point at the numbered menu. Always smiling and welcoming. The tall, plastic, well worn, foggy green tea glasses are a nice touch.......
The food: Absolutely authentic and the best thai/vietnamese fusion anywhere. Their curried beef brisket is my absolute favourite thing on the planet- you must try it. Heat is inconsistent but most of the time my scalp is sweating!!
Their pad thai is awesome too- there's a lot of it. The vietnamese soup is served in a BUCKET. Way too much. If you finish it be careful turning corners because the sloshing is likely to throw your balance off. It shouldn't be humanly possible to eat that much soup.
Great value. Cheap Cheap Cheap! Lunch for under $10 and you could get out of there in under 20 mins.
The funny thing is the speed at which your food comes out. I always tell people that the waitress will walk away and return with your meal in under 2 minutes. Always great, always quick. Love this place. -

Like the name implies, this place serves up a few dishes from here and there across south-east Asia. Reminds me of eating through Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam.
Tried a Vietnamese noodle (spicy beef rice noodle soup, Bun Bo Hue) and a curry with Roti -- both are very good.
I deducted one star for not having Singaporean pepper crab or curry crab, or curry fish head soup. Not enough Thai dishes either. -

You will be really surprise how busy this place can be during lunch hour.
They specialized in Vietnamese beef soup noodle and curry. I always order either the small size Tom Yum beef noodle soup or if I have 2 person then we will share a medium size. The broth is really favoured, not salty. Their small size is equal to a medium at other restaurants.
Service is fast and prompt! And the price is great!
BTW, no lunch special... is the same menu for the whole day...
Please don't sit near the little opening where the wait staff pick up the food. You will have a view of the kitchen..(which I prefer not to see).
CASH only! -

The decor is casual but interesting. Definitely not for formal dining, but if you are into grabbing a quick tasty bite lunch or dinner, this is one of the best ones in the area.
The one dish that stands out most here is the curry lamb rice. This is the best place you can get s.e. Asian style curry lamb in gta. The pho were generally above average, and there are better places. The food generally is quite good.
Roti dishes, rice, sweet vermicellis, are quite delicious. If I have one peeve its that other than their curry lamb, the other curry dishes were their weakest offering here.
But theres is more than enough variety to make this worth a visit for casual lunch or dining. -
