Placed order through UberEats and arrived in less than 30 minutes.
My grilled meat was 2 pieces cheap beef steak hard, not marinated and very dry. The fried rice wasn't really fried... no crispiness and full of soy sauce and fish sauce. The vegetables were alright.
The meal came with a salad (shredded lettuce, carrots and cabbage... no vinaigrette as far as I could tell) and 2 imperial rolls. I replaced the rolls for a shrimp donut that was tasty. In the meal box was a slice of lime and very liquid sweet chili sauce (or maybe something else) but it had almost no flavor so I didn't use it.
I also ordered the spring roll, which I thought was pretty expensive and it turns out it was... that roll had almost no meat in it... like 5g of pork and 3 small shrimps and the peanut sauce that came with it had no peanut flavors, I'm not even sure what I ate to be honest.
It was edible, hence why I gave it 2 stars but I can make a better fried rice at home and grilled some decent piece of beef for 30$. The fried rice, meat and vegetables were supposed to be aromatized with lemongrass but I barely tasted it, they probably used dry lemongrass seasoning, which has almost no flavor..
Overall, not a great experience for the price and I'm a fan of Thai cuisine, I cook a lot of Thai dishes at home and that was just not it. Opening the box and seeing 2 piece of 1$ steak was a great...
Read moreUpon recommendation, my French friend and I ventured into this Vietnamese eatery. First of all, do not be put off by the location (Galt near the UdeS) and shabby building exterior, what lies within is what counts! Second, BYOB and reservations are recommended on a Friday night. Third, if you want a romantic dinner date, forget Au Coin; this restaurant is filled with a very raucous Quebecois clientele. It's hard to hear.
We were greeted at the door by a excellent host who informed us about the wait which was shortened to 30 minutes from an hour somehow miraculously!
The dining area is small, but is decorated with charming pictures, fans and an assortment of Asian items giving the place an authentic feel. Now, let's talk food! I ordered a curried coconut seafood soup and my companion ordered the Pad Thai. The meals were excellent on both counts and reasonably priced (for these days).
Take out is popular and there are some refrigerated...
Read moreWanted to try a nice new place. Ordered a go to staple. Wonton soup, imperial rolls and a beef dish with vegetables.
The broth tasted bland with the most flavourful thing being the carrots or the container…
The imperial rolls are store bought and frozen cooked to order. The accompanying sauce was what I’m assuming, home made tap water.
For mains, to my surprise was two pancakes of uncut, tough beef laid over a bed of vegetables (premade frozen). To bring the dish together, mushy microwave rice in a bag.
This delish dish cost a total of around 35$. Want to eat here? Save the money chew on a rubber tire and add a little sesame seeds… you won’t notice anything different.
I do however appreciate the speed of...
