In response: I love spicy food. However, as a rule of thumb when going to a restaurant for the first time it's always a good idea to order a step down on the spicy scale than you typically would. My comment was not a criticism but rather a note that should you choose to order mild food at this restaurant it may be more spicy than anticipated. However, it was clearly stated on the menu that the mussaman curry was not spicy, which is why my friend ordered it. If a restaurant says a dish is not spicy and it comes out literally too hot to eat (for people like myself who enjoy spicy food) that's a problem. Finally, I'm sorry you don't like Canadians. You're missing out on one of the most culturally diverse and beautiful countries in the world.

Typical Canadian - always trying to get foreigners to conform to your own bland taste. If you don't like spice, don't go to a restaurant that serves traditionally spicy food. That's like going to a vegetarian restaurant and asking for something with no vegetables on it. Grow a pair.

That doesn't sound too bad. 1) You should never expect stellar service at an asian restaurant. 2) Never order "mild" and don't, for goodness sakes, take people who can't take spicy. And 3) having a server ditch out to sing Bryan Adams covers makes a pretty funny story.

At least give them a point for having a cool neon sign. =)

great review i am a fan of bryan adams, and super spicy food, so i might actually give it a try, but you showed me that i should be prepared for less than stellar service. thank you. expectations are everything.

It's too difficult as is to get most of these places to serve anything close to spicy enough. Demanding that yet another one water down it's food is just going to make it worse. Perhaps you're not the right person to be reviewing a Thai place?

If this was a typical dining experience for most then this place wouldn't be open. And if you feel a Thai man singing multiple Bryan Adams covers isn't "entertainment" than I'd prefer shy away from your positive reviews.
