3rd Review: Freshly Thai - $-$$

It's SpoonfulofReviews back with a new review after a somewhat relaxing long weekend! So what's the 3rd review on? We move onto Thai food, and chose to review the Thai food from Freshly Thai... So let's get into it :)

Freshly Thai is located in Brampton on Queen St N- major intersection: Queen St N & Main St N. Upon first stumbling across this establishment I noticed that it was a rather small venue in a plaza setting. Walking in my first impressions were rather positive- the establishment has a nice cozy atmosphere, which is again probably not the greatest for large groups or parties as I can imagine it would feel incredibly clausterphobic- however for small groups or couples it's perfect.

Upon first entering FT, I was greeted by the Hostess who was friendly, polite, welcomed me and immediately showed me to a seat, offered me a menu and asked if she could start me off with a beverage. I ordered a water while I perused the menu.

I noticed the menu had a list of many, MANY, items which I personally enjoy because I like to have variety. After about 10 minutes of running down the menu items I ordered the Pad Thai and Thai Chicken Barbeque. The food did take a while to arrive- approximately 25 minutes, but was well worth the wait. The Pad Thai tasted very fresh- I'd had Pad Thai in the past that had a "ketchup" sort of flavour to it, and this was definitely ketchup free. As much as I enjoyed the Pad Thai I thoroughly enjoyed the Thai Chicken Barbeque- Delicious stuff!  It wasn't your average barbeque chicken as it was rubbed in a variety of herbs that impressed the taste buds almost instantly. All the spices and flavours complimented each other very well and the spring rolls that accompanied the meal were incredible. I can't seem to stress enough how fresh everything tasted- I was very satisfied with this experience.

All in all it was a great dining experience and well worth the money. My only criticism was a lengthy waiting period from ordering my food to actually receiving it, however it was well worth the wait. Also the server was a little forgetful bringing me the wrong dish the first time around but she was overly apologetic and attentive which made up for her small errors. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is willing to give their taste buds a wake up call and try some really great fresh cuisine for a change of pace! Definitely looking forward to another visit to this restaurant!
