I ordered $97 worth of food, which was only that high because I gave them a 15% tip, because I'm not a jerk. When I picked up my food, everything seemed fine. I got in my truck, and as I set my food on the seat next to me, everything fell out of the bag. The paper bag was wet, and ripped through the white plastic bag. I don't know if this is on purpose or if they're really that inadequate at packing!! Now, as I am about to post pictures of the mayhem that ensued, it's actually heartless that they wouldn't even give me a RAG to clean it up. I asked for a pail of water and a rag, and they lied to me, and said they didn't have any rags in the back!!! They could only give me paper towels. They tried to hand me one small, balled-up piece of paper towel!! Obviously, knowing I have to go home to my husband, I asked for my money back, and they wouldn't give it to me. Then I called them and told them they need to pay me back or I'm taking them to court. The owner told me that if I had a problem, I could call 911 in as snotty tone as she could muster!!! I am good to people, and everybody who knows me knows I would never treat somebody like this. We are absolutely disgusted, not just at the poor customer service but their lack and UTTER absence of humanity!!! Especially since the waitress herself had even witnessed how bad it was and told me that, that does happen sometimes because it's very hot. I would like to add that the waitress was SO nice and this is not her fault, but the owner is a hateful person who clearly doesn't care about other people, and cannot take accountability for her own mistake, as apparently she was the brain scientist who packed the food. What a hateful, snotty FOUL PUTRID DEMONIC TROLL of a woman. Her karma is coming for her, and similar to my food I paid her for that went on the floor, her karma is something that she will not be able to swallow.

The service was really good and friendly as well. The menu has indicators on spice level as well for people who are sensitive to spices (me).

This Thai Restaurant is indeed a really good find…read more We were on a family road trip to Nova Scotia and were looking for a good place to eat. Saw a few people in Yelp liked this place and decided to give this place a try; not far from the highway in St. John. When we enter, they asked if we have reservations; we said no. They still let us in sonce it was around 5pm and they didn't have a lot of customers; so reservation recommended. When ww checked the menu; we saw a number of interesting items. First; Dick Curry. Rare; but we have had that in a Thai restaurant in Oregon earlier this year. The other one is Jackfruit Curry. I have never heard any place that serve this dish. Both of these dishes cooked as red curry with coconut. We ordered both and really lived both of them. We were really hungry and wanted to find something for a long time since we had to skip lunch because of the long drive. These dishes were worth the wait. Recommend trying both dishes. Nothing to complain; excellent service; delicious food and reasonable price; not cheap. I only wish the portion size was a bit larger.

We were stuffed silly and everything was amazing. The Spicy Noodles had a lot of lean chicken in it, which I loved. It also had green beans, bell peppers (red and green), egg, bamboo shoots and eggplant. It had a good fiery kick to it and the portion size was great. We really enjoyed this dish. The Panang Beef had a bit of spice to it too, but not as much as the Spicy Noodles. It was full of lean and tender beef, bell peppers, green beans and cabbage. The peanut sauce was so good, although a bit oily. I really enjoyed this dish too. My husband absolutely loved it. My dad loves Panang Beef, I'm seriously considering bringing him to Halifax (from Ottawa) so he can have the Panang Beef here, lol, well and obviously get a vacation out of it too, haha. Yup, it's that good ;) The small steamed rice was the perfect size for the two of us. It was nicely cooked. Service was friendly and efficient. Our food was ready in 15 minutes. They have a small area where you can sit and wait for your takeout orders. The dining room is sizeable. They only have indoor dining though, no patio. Street parking only.

Great food and ambiance with so many plants all over the entire restaurant. While I was happy with the food and price, service is definitely lacking. We didn't get water the entire time we were in the restaurant and the lunch meals took way longer than it should have for it being 2 in the afternoon on a Monday with only two other tables occupied. The lunch took about 40 minutes to arrive which was quite brutal and the beer glasses that were brought out were just filthy so I opted to drink right out of the bottle like an animal. Definitely great food but not sure I'd sit in again for the amount of time it took and the filthy glass. It was odd because the rest of the place looked clean and the water glasses were spotless. If not for the really slow service, we'd have given 5 stars. I think I'd opt for take out next time and save myself the wait.

We decided to get take-out and called in our order. The lady said it'd take 20-25 min, and it was ready when hubby picked it up. I ordered the black pepper beef for $14.95 and a side of rice for $4. I thought the price of the rice was a bit much. I requested less red & green peppers and more mushrooms, and they obliged. The taste of the dish itself was just okay. It didn't taste like traditional Thai food to me, or at least not like the kind I'm used to eating. Hubby ordered the Pad Thai with chicken for $14.95 and said there was too much soy sauce or something in it. He didn't really care for it. The price of the dishes were reasonable, thus the 3 stars instead of 2, and the portions were a decent size.

They took over the former Dancing Dogs Café space.

They also offer homemade ginger tea here. Lunch is $9.95 and dinner is $9.95-$16.50, plus HST. The dining room is cozy, which has several wooden tables and chairs for eating in. I stopped in at Song's Chopsticks for lunch takeout and ordered the lunch special combo ($9.95 plus HST), choices of Steamed Rice or Japchae, Song's Spicy Pork or Bulgogi, and Spring Roll or Dumpling, which I chose the second choice each of the 3 items. The food was hot and ready to go in under 10 minutes. The portion size was good, packed into a rectangular Styrofoam box. The Bulgogi had great flavors consisting of thin sliced marinated sirloin beef & vegetables (carrots, onion, cabbage, green peppers) sprinkled with sesame seeds. The Japchae noodles (clear sweet potato noodles) were cooked firm. The 2 fried dumplings were crispy outside filled with chicken.
