it seemed to me that they were in a hurry and the food was a little unprepared
I would have given the food 4 stars, but they are serving awfully stale crushed peanuts on the counter that spoiled my meal.
EDIT 1: I decided to give this place another try, since I was craving pad-thai. All I can say is that for anyone who’s ever been to Thailand and eaten real thai to food, you should not have high expectations or any expectations at all. This food has no soul.

I asked for beef and non spicy. She said Yes. It wasn’t beef stir fry, beef stew or whatever beef you would expect in any other food stands. What I was served were 9 or 10 small balls <1” of flour outside, precooked and fried before serve. Inside there was tiny minced mix tasted like some kind of protein or so I would want to believe it is meat.
It is cheating. Now it’s clear why they don’t present the dish components to be assembled like any other food stands do.
Spicy as well.
I brought the dish back & questioned if it was her mistake. No she said, that is how they got from head office, very quick in responding.
Common on.
Their price is much more expensive vs others as well. I paid $17 after tax vs less than $14 at Greek stand or even less at Thai Ruby or any others with same quantity or protein and veggies in their double choices.
Shameful.

Okay fast food thai place. Selection is so-so, a little slim on options but fine considering it's clearly a working day lunch place.
Staff is okay. Pleasant enough but we will see if that stays up as people return to offices and they get busy.

I ordered Tom yum chicken spicy broth. Made fresh. Tasty. Large portion. Had to wait in line but it went pretty quick. Atmosphere is only 3 stars because after all it is in an underground food court.
Out of all the food court spots nearby, I always choose Thai express in Scotia plaza - the line gets long but they work through it so efficiently and it never takes more than a few minutes. The owner is also super kind and has offered exceptional customer service every single time.
The food is great and I’ve noticed higher quality eats here than other Thai express chains I’ve been to. They always cook it to perfection and I usually have enough for lunch and dinner! What a steal. I love that it’s cooked fresh in front of you and they offer the highest quality ingredients. So yummy and worth the price.
My go to is the pad see ew (sooo delish with the thicker noodles) and the curry chicken rice - it’s always come covered in the curry with the best consistency and leaves every bite very flavourful. The chicken is also never dry!
If you’re going to spend your lunch money, I highly recommend spending it here. Also very convenient to get to using the path from wherever you are because it’s in such a central financial district location.

I ordered yellow curry with chicken. Not sure where the curry is... :( Veggies tasted raw, chicken was cooked but not much flavor, and rice was kinda hard.
