I always ask for extra spicy, peanuts and lime, please. No lime on this visit, not sure why. Little bit of peanut, hint of spice. The shrimp are large and plentiful. The noodles to me, are perfectly done. Not soggy. Dining in, the portion and presentation of course, seems so much better. A lot of take out biz happens here though. I had to wait awhile to pay as the server was alone and was taking orders from a 4top but usually the service is a reason to come here. Great attitudes and smiles.

TL;DR/The Short Version: One of the very few Asian…read morerestaurants in Perth, ON. We got takeout. The Pad Ki Mow was tasty. No table service. The Long Version: My husband and I got takeout from The Hot Wok for dinner when we were staying in Perth. All their food is packaged as takeout, but they do have seating where you can eat your takeout food, just no table service. We decided to take the food back to our hotel room instead. We got the Bang Bang Chicken ($18.25) and the Shrimp Pad Ki Mow ($19.50). I called my order in and we walked there to pick it up. I was told it would take about 30 minutes to be ready. (They make everything to order.) We arrived after 30 minutes and our food was ready as promised. The lady on the phone was very courteous and I think she was the same lady at the pickup counter. The Bang Bang Chicken was listed on the menu as "Lightly breaded chicken tossed in a creamy honey sauce, on a bed of greens." It did not mention sesame seeds were sprinkled on top and I forgot to say "no sesame seeds" with my order so I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't really eat this dish, but that was on me. I was able to manage a few bites that didn't have sesame seeds on them (I can handle mild contamination) and I found the meat a bit dry, but the outside was pleasantly crispy and the honey sauce was pleasant. The "bed of greens" was actually raw shredded cabbage and carrots in a creamy sauce. I was asked how spicy I wanted this dish and I said medium, but it wasn't spicy at all, like not even mildly spicy, lol. Don't worry, the food didn't go to waste, as my husband ate it. The dish came with a small serving of steamed white rice. The rice was good, not too mushy nor too dry. The Shrimp Pad Ki Mow was tasty, albeit a tad too oily for me. It had 6 large shrimp, which were all properly deveined. They were plump and juicy. The dish also had broccoli, cauliflower, onions, carrots and Bok Choy. I was happy to see they were very generous with the vegetables. You have the option of having this dish with rice noodles or rice, I chose the noodles since that's what traditional Pad Ki Mow is. However, the noodles used were rather thin, like even thinner than traditional Pad Thai noodles. I like the wider noodles that typically come with Pad Ki Mow (or as I usually know it as, Pad Kee Mao). I was also asked what spice level I wanted this dish and I also said medium, and for this dish, it was a true medium as it had a spicy kick to it. They have their own private parking lot in front of the restaurant that is shared with their next door neighbour Jersey Joe's. Review #42 (2025)

I've recently fallen in love with green curry. I did forget to ask about the spice level (and I…read moredon't handle spice too well). My first bite, the spice immediately hit the back of my throat and I started to cough and tear up haha. I got over the spice eventually and enjoyed my dinner. The eggplant which I thought was a nice touch, could have been left out. There was absolutely no flavour and super mushy. The skin was too hard to chew. The host/waiter (same person) was super friendly and made our night that much better. It's a small restaurant, because of this I felt like my friend and I had to keep our noise level down. That didn't bother me too much.

I've been meaning to try it for so long but never really went in for some reason. So glad I did! I stood there staring at the menu for a little while, not being able to decide what to get. I definitely wanted mango salad and could go for some green curry, which I hadn't had in awhile, so that's what I went with, even though I could've easily gotten at least five things on the menu for just myself. The mango salad (A4 - Yum Ma'Muang) had green mango, cashew nuts, shrimp, red and green onions, and grape tomatoes. I thought it was expensive at $12, but thought I'd splurge anyway. It actually ended up being a bigger portion than I expected, so I was happy. The green mango was super fresh and had that nice, firm bite, same with the other ingredients. Just what I was craving! There were also slices of red onion, but I had expected it to have it, so I didn't realize that ingredient wasn't listed on the menu until later. The green curry (G1 - Gaeng Khiao Wan) came with red and green peppers, zucchini, and sweet basil. There wasn't any eggplant like it listed on the menu, but there were green beans, carrots, and broccoli, so I was happy with all of the additional veggies. I chose chicken as my protein, but you can have beef, pork, or tofu for the same price, or shrimp for an extra $2. It was piping hot and really comforting. There was the perfect amount of all of the ingredients, including the curry broth, and the veggies were cooked but firm. YUM! Both dishes definitely had a heavier hand on the fish sauce, but I really enjoyed them and rice toned it down as well. There was only one woman there who cooked my meal and rang me up. She was the absolute sweetest! Extremely kind and had smiling eyes. She was very patient with me while I decided. She suggested one of the lunch specials with green curry and rice (cheaper), but I wanted to go with the pricier one to support the business (and also bigger because I was really hungry haha). I will definitely be back!
