Tasty new "Thai" (HK?) style noodle place along Kingsway.
Parking is a bit tricky here. There are metered spots on Kingsway, the mall parkade (not recommended), or some free spots a short walk away.
Staff are friendly. Waitress spoke Cantonese. This place is HK style Thai (think Aberdeen Centre). Just a heads up in terms of authenticity.
As of the time of writing (soft opening), they didn't have the snack menu available yet. The menu is really limited here, with just 5 noodle soup options, and 3 snack items. Not a bad thing, but something to keep in mind.
The signature pork soup comes with 2 slices of daikon (turnip), some tasty morsels of pork (a bit dry, like brisket), some pork balls, 2 pieces of deep fried wonton skin, and some cilantro and some other herbs. The soup is on the heavier side, and has a nice light kick that shows up a few seconds after tasting.
The quality is there, but the portion size here is definitely on the small side. Knock 1 star off. For this reason, I recommend adding a noodle refill along with one's order. The refill comes served in some additional soup, which is nice. Hopefully the owners read this and adjust accordingly.
Maybe I'll be back to try their tom yum soup. The picture on the menu looked tasty. read more
