This hip, narrow room is always hopping at lunchtime, and with good reason. The collection of $10 lunch specials includes curries, pad Thai and other Thai classics served with rice and salad. The flavours are top-notch, and the authentic pad Thai is gloriously ketchup-free. Tofu can be subbed for meat in any of the lunch special items, and everything’s available to go if you’d prefer to nosh at your desk.

The menu offers two choices for each course and rotates to feature seasonal ingredients, so you can indulge often without repeats.
