Review from Min Min T.

We came here after playing badminton at the gym next to the Sheraton one weeknight. It was dead - the cook was playing on his cellphone - but we took the risk after our grumbling stomachs argued that we couldn't wait any longer for food.
The main server here was extremely attentive when we came in and asked about the food. Even after we sat down, she gave lots of suggestions and gladly went to find out if there was shrimp paste in the Thai curries. She brought out the can of curry paste from the kitchen, and I confirmed with her that I had used the same vegetarian-friendly brand in the past.
There were two dinner specials offered, so I went with nasi lemak ($9.99) substituted with tofu instead of chicken. It took less than 15 minutes and the first taste of curry sent me back to memories of Malaysia! The potatoes in the curry were also cooked perfectly to hold its shape and I wish there had been more. It also came with cucumber*, roasted peanuts and an egg - fried instead of boiled. All these are part of a traditional way nasi lemak is presented, minus the dried anchovies.
Not a bad deal for dinner and while the decor here is a bit dingy, it's nice and quiet here if you want to have a chat with a friend over dinner.

Chose this restaurant because they had coupons online (and a coworker had suggested it) We were actually pretty surprised that it was empty (we went there at 6:30 PM) Friendly server who was not pushy - suggested dishes when we asked and didn't push for up-sells. Unfortunately, the food wasn't very good.
I ordered the Vegetarian Green Curry - disappointed because the curry was pretty watery. It was spicy enough, I guess but the watery-ness definitely killed it for me.
Someone else ordered their fried fish - it was dry and not very appetizing at all.
Not planning on coming back to this one. -

After being disappointed by Thai restaurants in the area, we decided to give this place a try. I have to say it was amazing and the ingredients tasted fresh. The lady who owns this place, Fay, was very attentive and personable.
Must try Lemongrass Soup and Basil Beef. The pad thai was decent. The only drawback I have to say would be no Thai Iced Tea. -

Thai Fay Cuisine is a small family runned Thai restaurant in Richmond Hill.
They have specials for the whole day with combo meals that includes Mango Salad and Soup. Or 50% off appeititizers during Happy Hour!
Lunch specials are combos for $7.99. You can upgrade the Hot and Sour Soup to Tom Yum Soup for $1.00.
I decided to have the Combo B with Green Curry Chicken and Tom Yum Soup.
Tom Yum soup
The soup is ok.. not too spicy, not too sour. There are 2 shrimps inside. I am not sure if I will do the soup upgrade next time though.
The Mango Salad, Spring Roll and Green Curry Chicken with Rice
All come on 1 plate. The Mango Salad is nice and sweet with the Basil dressing. The Spring Roll.. um is ok.. but not really fresh, fills like been under the heat lamp for awhile. The Green Curry Chicken though has 3 chillis on the menu is not spicy.. I love all those veggies though (snow peas, egg plants and green beans)
I told the waitress that the Curry is not spicy at all. She said I can request extra spicy next time. Since their customers cannot handle the heat.
Service is Fast and Friendly. Though Jasmine Tea is NOT free...
Go to their website since there are coupons that give you discounts or freebies.
They accepts Visa only. -
