A very good place

We found this restaurant by chance, since we normally live in Switzerland and were only visiting. We can only say that it was one of the better Thai restaurants we have been to, and we have been to many, in Europe and in Asia as well. The food was spiced in a very balanced way, everything was absolutely fresh and you could taste it. The service was very friendly and fast. The sticky rice with Mango dessert was on the house and absolutely delicious. A place we really can recommend..

I will miss this place

I have been a very loyal customer for the last 8 years and had given a couple other reviews on this restaurant in the past. In my previous reviews I gave very high marks because the quality of Sonny’s food and the atmosphere that Dora created in her restaurant made it a nice dining experience. The walls were filled with wood carvings, and if you asked about them, Dora your server would tell you she hand crafted them. The spring rolls were fresh and made daily by Sonny, and he made a peanut sauce that was fantastic, but my personal favorite was the basil beef. Some might think that it was a bit expensive but when you know that you receive 10 oz of AAA beef tenderloin in your basil beef dish, you know you are getting good value. This past week Sonny and Dora retired. Too bad, in my opinion their fine Thai cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere is gone. It has been replaced with run of the mill bland tasting Thai food that in no way should be associated with what Sonny’s Northern Thai food was all about. The restraunt name may be the same but the food coming out of it is not. So in reading any reviews on this restaurant prior to this posting – beware that they are based on Sonny and Dora and the wonderful food they served. My dining experience under the new management will be my last. I was completely unimpressed and ended up leaving more that half of my order untouched. I will miss Sonny and Dora and the great food they served; it’s a shame that I have to say goodbye to a place and people that I had known for 8 years.

this restaurant will never be the same

I have been a regular patron (generally lunch) of this restaurant for many years and have historically found it to be a consistently unique and wonderful experience. It was by far my favourite and most regularly visited restaurant. It was a fine dining establishment that lived up to its billing as high quality with a relaxed atmosphere. Prices were high (as fitting a fine dining experience) but quality (food and service) more than met our expectations and were never an issue! The restaurant has recently changed ownership and my last visit will definitively be just that. In 2 short weeks, the ambiance has changed significantly; the menu has been revamped to be more mainstream Thai (blah) and it has basically lost everything that we previously enjoyed. Prices have been decreased a little but meal quality (both recipes and ingredient quality) has suffered significantly. Why will I drive downtown (past 3 restaurants that serve the same blah fare) to pay a premium for just a so/so lunch?! The short answer is that I won’t. I feel that a little piece of me has died!

Excellent

We have eaten here before and we looked forward to our visit with anticipation. We were not disappointed. The food is flavourful and diverse. The service was appropriate because this is not an eat & run type of place.

Exceptional Food at a Price

Husband and wife owners keep the establishement exceptionlly clean. Wife provides charming and personable service while the husband's dishes are beyond reproach in terms of flavour and presentation. Those who love spicy will love this restaurant. For the price, portions are on the small side, which is my only complaint. However, despite the relatively high price, my wife and i are regulars and this must attest to the quality of the food. We have been there more than a dozen times and have NEVER been disatisfied with our dishes. This restaurant has everything i look for: quality food and ingredients, tasty, charming service, super clean (including the washroom) and ALWAYS consistent - even if it is somewhat pricey.
