524 Bloor St. W. Nestled in a narrow space near the busy street corner, the bright room is garnished with masks and mobiles. The effect is endearingly tacky. Attentive staff rush about with an air of urgency. The long, oil-free spring rolls ($3.50) are crisp and light but are very small. An original entry is golden baskets ($5.95), a spicy mix of vegetables with crisp batter coatings. The refreshing papaya salad ($6.50) delivers tart papaya with cilantro and peanuts. The highlight of the meal is clear and spicy thai lemon shrimp soup ($3.50) in two generous sizes. Avoid the eggy, oily phad thai ($7.95), but be sure to have the lamb peanut curry ($7.95). The meat has a slightly gamey flavour but is moist and tender. Lunch specials. |
