    I'm generally not a fan of Thai food, except pad thai and pad see ew. But damn this place is good,…read moreand not too busy- might I have stumbled upon a hidden gem? I've always had a thing against Thai satay (sorry), but the one here is much better than I've had in the past. While I still prefer Malaysian satay, the chicken satay here is is juicy and well seasoned, and peanut sauce adequately flavourful. The best thing though, was really the crispy duck. Oh my goodness. The duck was completely deboned, deep fried to a perfect crisp, then placed on delicious bed of greens and tamarind sauce. This dish is easily one of the best things I've eaten on the island. I mean, it was fried so well, the fat beneath the skin nearly melted in my mouth. Wow. If you're a duck lover, this is an absolute must!! Forgot to add, the service is great too. Servers are all super nice and the food arrives fast.

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE The value isn't in the portion size…read more(it's on the smaller side); it's really in the taste of the food and the service - worthy candidate to be on your list of Thai places when in Victoria! Note: those with kids will find there is no kid's menu, so be prepared to share or bring some home :) === 2. FOOD Thai Iced Tea ($4.50) Served in a tall, slim glass - lovely! Som Tum Thai (Green Papaya Salad, $16) A little on the small side for the price, but the flavours and mix of crunchy textures delight! Ruam Mit ($20 for 2 people) 2 x chicken satay skewers, 2 x spring rolls, and 2 x fish cake patties: the taste makes it worth the price of admission! Egg Fried Rice ($12.95 for large) So the portion is small for the price, but the flavour is delish and comes with that authentic taste that could only originate from a wok that had the right heat and cooking technique! Gang Dang (red curry, $19.50 with beef) This red curry has bamboo shoots and peppers, as well as your choice of prawns, chicken, pork, beef, or tofu. It comes in a small bowl and does not include rice so this may be the worst value on the menu, but the flavour is spot on. Pla Lad Prik (deep-fried fish, $25 for red snapper) You could do base fish for $1 less. The price is steep for what you get, but you will enjoy each mouthful. We got the sauce on the side which was good for us (your preference may differ) - it's sweet-and-sour like with chopped veggies. Nam Sai (like pho, $18.50 with pork) It's like a Thai version of Vietnamese pho! Comes with your choice of beef or pork. Nice and flavourful without being too strong or making you feel thirsty afterward. This might be the only item on the menu that aligns with the value/portion size! === 3. SERVICE It was good overall: reservation was taken easily and honoured, server was quite attentive and apologetic when she brought the incorrect dish and when the table seemed dirtier than expected upon arrival. No worries here! === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a neighbourhood joint that shares the building with a framing company. Older on the outside and inside - to get up and into the place may be a challenge with those navigating a wheelchair or baby stroller. There are a decent number of tables for groups up to say, 10 or so amid the older, perhaps intimate decor. Parking is however lucky you are between the businesses; at least 5 spots appear to be available on the side of the building.

    === 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.

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.

Not drinking right now but the cocktail menu was super tempting. Every menu item sounded great. We got some help on ordering from our servers and Tanya picked ones she had enjoyed before. We also sat right beside the pick up window so it was fun seeing food come out! The food was fantastic. See pictures for what we ordered. Not sure if I can remember the names of everything but it was a perfect combo!!

So, I took a day off and headed to our capital city, Victoria, on a hot and sunny afternoon. After getting off the bus at Douglas & Fort and walking a couple of blocks, I arrived at the restaurant. In all honesty, the location isn't in the nicest part of town. The place itself is small, both inside and out. Inside, they were in the middle of a paint job. Outside, the dining area consisted of three picnic tables, each seating about four or so. I hadn't checked their website beforehand, but I told the cashier it was my first visit from Vancouver. She suggested three of their "most popular" dishes, all priced at $18. I chose the Sweet & Sour Pork Belly with Rice. Most entrées seemed to start at $15 and up. I opted to dine outside, given the beautiful weather. The cashier directed me to a self-serve counter for water, condiments, and cutlery, and suggested I sit at the far left by the wooden railing since other tables were occupied. When my food was ready, she called my name. The presentation was nice, but for $18 the portion seemed small -- six small pieces of pork belly, with two pieces being almost entirely fat. The green beans (about 14 pieces, four inches long) were fresh and bright green, not overcooked, and the sauce was fine. Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the temperature -- lukewarm at best. Even the rice wasn't hot. The menu promised crispy skin, but mine was soft. While the pork was tender, it lacked the crispness you'd find at a good Chinese BBQ meat shop. Adding to the disappointment, the outdoor seating was right beside a parking lot of a liquor store where people smoked and chatted. The smell of cigarette smoke made it hard to enjoy my meal, so I ate quickly and left. It's a semi-self-serve setup, with a tray for returning dirty dishes like in fast-food places. Another note: I paid cash but wasn't given a receipt -- my oversight, since cash payments save them merchant fees. This place might have its fame, but for me, it was overpriced and the atmosphere was not conducive to a relaxing meal. Hot dishes should be served hot, regardless of the weather. Taste-wise, I'd give my dish 3/5. Value: 2/5. Sadly, it's a "one-and-done" visit for me.
