My Thai - Ancaster

My Thai

Ancaster, ON

(+ 4 other locations - Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford, & *NEW Waterloo)

This is one of my favourite restaurants, and one I continually return to. The original restaurant was the Hamilton location, but it's the Ancaster branch that I go to again and again. I'm glad to hear they are expanding even further with their new Waterloo locaton!

I had lunch there on Friday. They have a shorter, cheaper, seasonal lunch menu, though the portions are still very filling. For about $10 I got a huge order of Pad Thai which came with deep fried spring roll.

A few menu favourites:
- Pad Thai - I have to really make an effort to get anything else. Pad Thai is one of my favourite foods, and My Thai's Pad Thai is excellent. The sauce is sweet (not too much spice in this one), and the tofu cubes are plentiful ( my favourite part). It also comes with shrimp and chicken and, of course, egg, peanut, and bean sprouts. Fabulous.
- Fresh & Fried Spring Rolls - both everything you'd want in a spring roll, both come with sweet chili dipping sauce
- Siamese Beef - thin strips of perfectly grilled, tender beef (slightly peppery) served with a spicy and sweet chili sauce
- Cashew Chicken - big juicy chunks of chicken in a somewhat sweet sauce, with peppers and orange slices - great on their jasmine rice
- Satay - skewered, barbecued strips of the same juicy chicken with a touch of coconut flavour served with a delicious peanut dipping sauce (even though I barely like peanuts, this sauce is awesome!)

All in all, we've never had a bad experience with My Thai. The servers are always friendly, the service is speedy, and the restaurant is decorated very nicely. It is a bit dim, but it sets a nice mood for chatting and dining. It's a great restaurant for take-out, as well!
