I was introduced to this place by University Mates as part of our food trail. In no way was I disappointed.

The noodles are nice and springy, never to soft or tough. While the sauce is darker and thicker, much like the Pontian Wanton Mee, it is not too heavy at all. The small plate costs $3.50 and comes with a bowl of soup as well. The wantons in the soup are nice, bite-size and flavorful. The texture is firm but yet still soft. The fried wantons are really crispy and delicious. The char siew is at a good level of sweetness and saltiness.

Furthermore, the service is pretty speedy.

If you happen to be in or near Sunshine Plaza, I definitely encourage you to try out the food here!

A complete disappointment Cry Aug 31, 2011

I happened to be at Nex for a University event. Since it was around 10-11 PM, the only eatery that was open was Café Cartel. That trip was my first, and came to be my last.

Since we were there for supper, I ordered a simple bowl of mushroom soup that, according to the menu, was supposed to come with a free flow of bread.

When my bowl of soup arrived, I took one look and was immediately disappointed. The color of the soup was a murkish brown and it looked extremely diluted. It was neither a cream based soup nor was it regular soup. It was a horrible in-between. Furthermore, I did not see a single slice of mushroom. I'd rather open a can of Campbell's any day.

And my free flow of bread? Hah. It was absent when the waiter brought my soup. So I decided to ask for it. The waiter mumbled something that sounded like "Let me check". Waited for over 30 mins until a persistent companion of mine asked for the bread again. The waiter's reply was that since it was past a certain time, they did not provide bread. Yet no where was this stated on the menu. My friend reprimanded him for not telling us earlier and his response was a "I don't know" face and that he walked off. After another 10 mins, they finally brought out the bread, but by that time we had long finished our soup.

Also, at the beginning, no waiter came to take our order, so we approached him ourselves and was directed to the counter. My friend and I stood at the counter for a few minutes right in front of the cashier and she simply ignored us. We were told that we actually had to sit down and wait to order our food, which made us wonder why we were directed to the counter in the first place. Also, the waiters and waitresses could barely speak english, which did not make communication any better.

Overall, I felt that the soup was pathetic and the service horrible. A complete waste of my money. I am most definitely never going back there again.

The environment of the place may seem a little less impressive than the other Thai restaurants on the block, but let that not cause you to miss a good dining experience.

I've been there twice and had their Pad Thai both times and enjoyed it immensely. I had chicken the first, and beef the second time. Both at the same price. There is another option of having seafood as well. Each plate will cost you about $5. I can be quite a stingy person and prefer to spend around $2-3 for a meal, but I have absolutely no problem spending $5 at Aroy Dee Thai. For $5 you get a huge plate of Pad Thai with generous amounts of beansprouts and meat. Aside from the portion, the taste is excellent.

The sour of the lime goes so well with the sweetness of the noodles producing a great balance of flavours for your tastebuds to soak in. The texture also varies from the crunch of the grounded peanuts, the softness of the noodles, and back to a fresh crunch of beansprouts.

I always enjoy my time there. Service is fine- you might have to wait a little, but for good food like this, I really don't mind the wait.

I definitely recommend this place for Thai Cuisine fans! smile
