Love the fresh poke bowls, this is the tuna with brown rice and veggies. I love how they place a piece of film between the rice and the veggies to keep everything nice and fresh, what a genius idea. I also love the breakfast smoothie bowls as well!
I'm not usually a poké guy but this place changed that.<br/ <br/ I ordered the salmon poké bowl with spicy house sauce. The sauce was nothing short of exceptional. Good ratio of salmon to veges to sauce.<br/ <br/ Ordered this using MealPal so worked out pretty cheap as well!
The Aloha poke bowl was great; it was packed with fresh vegetables (cabbage, carrots, edamame, seaweed, cucumber), brown rice and sashimi pieces (salmon, tuna). I opted for the tahini dressing went well with the fish. Would definitely recommend.
Great place for Thai/Laos food! <br/ <br/ Favourite dish is ox tongue as many places that serve this do not cook it well. It can be rubbery and chewy if cooked too long however, you shouldn’t have that problem here. Even the fruit shakes are great; I’ve tried almost all of them so you can’t go wrong with any of the fruit shakes (I’m not sure about strawberry though)<br/ <br/ To be honest, from the fried rice to the curries, fried foods or even the noodles, you’re most likely getting a Thai-riffic experience. Pick and discover the dishes that you like! Have a scroll through my photos and notice vast amount of fresh herbs and greens used in each delightful dish.
I ordered the vegetarian pad see ew with tofu and vegetables. The portion was quite large and I was left feeling full and satisfied. Overall it was a little bit too salty and left me thirsty after. The drinks were good though- coconut water and Thai milk tea.
