Ottawa Foodies

Second in the three Thai restraunts tried in my quest for SCIENCE. This is a nice little spot in the stripmall behind the Southway Inn. All three restraunts here have nice food and terrible fronts. I wonder why that is?

Regardless, the food here is very nice. Somewhat spicier than at the Sala Thai, for what it's worth. Busier and smaller here, too, which can make it a bit cramped and noisy, and affect the service, but none of it enough to make a meal at all unpleasant. Food quality, portion sizes and prices are all about on par with Sala Thai, but no soup with the meals. Not a big deal, and I'd go here if in the mood for Thai and I were closer to it.

This is one of our regular lunch spots though we go for dinner fairly regularly, too. Affordable lunch specials include small green salad, main dish and either rice or noodles - all around $8.95 - served on one plate.
Everything we have tried is excellent but our favourite dish is the green curry with eggplant made with either chicken or beef - medium spicy. The Kaeng Kali, yellow curry with chicken and potatoes, served with noodles has become a new comfort food for me - mildly spicy.
If you want dessert, the coconut icecream served on sticky sweet rice is delectable!
Service is friendly and gracious.
Small and wildly popular, so toward the end of the week you may have to stand and wait.
