I've eaten at a fancy restaurant in the middle east, that flies in chefs on rotation from Thailand to cook in their Thai restaurant, so I would think that the food was authentic and delicious, I'm pretty sure that Phayathai has the best pad thai I've ever tried, and we also ordered a spicy peanut sauce chicken - it was soooooo good. I can't wait to try the Green curry next time and compare it to the restaurant in the middle east as well as compare it to Bangkok Garden in Toronto.
