We stumbled in here because we were craving green curry on our first night in Victoria, and we are very glad we did! Server was very kind and attentive and the food came out fast and hot. We had the green curry, Bangkok noodles, and cashew stir fry. Delicious!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Just based on a single takeout visit:…read morethe food wasn't cheap but it was good! === 2. FOOD Moo Tod Kratiem ($20) This is like the Thai version of pork tonkatsu - panko-breaded pork sliced up - that's served up on a bed of cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts. It was decent and my little guy like it but note for all parents: even requesting a dish to be "mild" can be seen as spicy for little ones! Gaeng Keaw Waan ($20) It's a green curry served with a bowl of rice - in it are chicken, peppers, carrots, and bamboo shoots. It's pretty good also but the same warning about "mild" applies here to parents of little ones :) Pad See-Ew Vegetarian ($22) You can order this with beef, chicken, or pork for the same price. It's decent with a hint of heat (when requested "mild"), but far too small for the price in takeout. === 3. SERVICE For a takeout order, the service was professional - they do get busy as the only Thai joint in the area surrounded by apartments, so call ahead for best results! === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's small, a little dim, but clean. Best to keep your groups to 6 or preferably 4 or smaller. Wheelchairs and baby strollers could theoretically fit, but they're a squeeze in the small gaps between tables. Parking is up to the driver's luck on the street out front.

The curry had so much chicken and had such a wonderful flavor with the fresh lime leaves. It was hard for me to stop eating, although, I eventually had to!

Portions in Victoria seem to be much more generous than in Vancouver; once again, we struggled to finish and I ended up taking some leftovers. We ordered fried tofu as an appetizer, along with pad thai, tom yum soup, and beef stir-fry. Taste-wise, I was happy that the dishes were actually spicy enough for me, but all of them also leaned quite sweet.

I don't like my food raw.i was then told that I shouldn't ask as the chief knows how to cook the fish perfectly and attitude as if it was disrespectful to even question how it would be cooked....well it came out RAW RAW RAW!! It was so RAW that it was cold and probably missed the grill completely. The pad see ew had chicken which tasted liked it was dipped in acid spice even though we order mild. The only decent plate out of five was the crab cakes, which was an appetizer. The thermostat must have been set to 100 degrees Fahrenheit as we were shedding clothes and holding cold water to our face as my whole party was overheating. Great way to end my birthday and waste of an hour in the car to be hit with a high bill with very little to be happy about. We all couldn't wait to leave and never come back.

It was so early so we had our pick of tables to choose from. My husband and son weren't very hungry so we chose a couple of dishes to share between the three of us.

The service was exceptional, and every bite and sip felt like a little piece of heaven. After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.
