Man, I walked by this restaurant so many times over my 5 years at Waterloo and never thought to myself to check it out until my final year. I regret that. Sure, it’s a hole in the wall, with the typical Chinese restaurant decor (I don’t care if the box of styrofoam containers should go in the storage room! I think it looks fine in the middle of the dining room!), but the pad thai is good enough to make you not care.

I’m not an expert on pad thai, but I do know good food. It’s noodles loaded heavy on the peanutty sauce, with a perfect amount of heat to compliment the whole shebang. It’s got the odd bit of celery in it though, but then again, I have a raging irrational hatred for celery.

I’m sure the rest of the food is good too, but who cares about that. Go for the pad thai. It’s awesome.
