  In Brantford to train at the fantastic hospital here.
  On-call and needed some dinner, so I headed over.
  Got red curry with chicken. Good flavours. I got at medium spicy which wasn't spicy enough, but definitely very flavorful. Good coconut flavor, not over-powering.
  Two best parts about the curry. Crisp vegetables and so much variety - cauliflower, snap peas, broccoli. And the food is very hot - 20 minutes must have passed before I got down to eating the food (pick-up) but it was still quite hot.
  The place looks like a mom and pop - the owner's kid was running around :P.
  Nice place!

  I'm torn... a 2 might be a bit harsh, or not. Three of us went there for dinner...  the staff was friendly i suppose.
  
  I ordered a starter, no one else did.  My starter showed up, and 30 seconds later my main showed up... the other 2 mains didn't come out for 4-5 minutes... so I'm sitting there with a bunch of food while the other two had to wait. Didn't make a whole lot of sense.
  
  There is no A/C so it was literally 35 degrees.
  
  The garden rolls had some very wilted lettuce in them and just flat out weren't fresh tasting. My main was ok, there was some decent flavour in there but over all i thought it was kind of lacking.
  
  The portion size was huge.
  
  Overall it wasn't awful, but i think it could have been much better.

  Not bad for Brantford; not too many unique food options in this area.
  The rare beef did not have very good cuts of meat.  Vegetable very good.
  The place is dumpy, at least 1/2 a dozen table dirty/left to sit w cups, plates.
  Worst of all a playpen?!?! and baby crying, do they live in the restaurant as well?!!??
  Nothing like trying to eat a meal while a mother is attempting to put a kid down into a playpen, ridiculous.

  Food is actually good however I brought my son here to show him what it might be like to go to jail. I wish the owners would see it from a customer perspective. The dining room is filthy; so out of date and gross bathrooms. Out of date is ok if it's clean. Cute baby but does the crib need to be in the  dining room, we all struggle to pay for child care so why can't you.

  Food is really good.
  
  Sizes are a bit deceiving.
  M is a SML by industry standards
  L is a M
  XL is a LRG
  
  Good options with Kids meals ($5). Staff was friendly and service was great.
