AVOID THE CASHEW NUT CHICKEN *picture included* ordered takeout for my party of 5. we asked for priority delivery as we we were fasting but the food arrived after iftaar time. 2/5 party members including myself had upset stomachs & overall sick feeling after eating the food. Pad Thai was very underwhelming. The grand pad thai had a very fishy taste. Khao soi was delicious. Basil Beef was 10/10 The cashew nut chicken was swimming in oil. The standard of this restaurant is clearly not a priority. Disappointed overall
The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The food is seasoned well and the veggies are fresh and crispy. I had the Grand Pad Thai and as a vegetarian I really appreciate how flavourful this dish is! I will definitely be coming back and recommend it for anyone looking for Thai Food in Mississauga .. P.S. the music is also very good! Vegetarian options: Amazing for vegetarians. You’ll leave full and satisfied
I don't normally eat Thai food, so I cannot really critique the food based on similar standards. That being said, I will try to critique it based on my experience of the food. I ordered a Beef Khao Soi for my meal. Plating: On first impressions, quite impressive. The colors pop, the food is well plated, and looks extremely appetizing. Protein: I had a beef Khao Soi. The beef disappointed. It was hard, chewy, and overcooked. It was dry- despite it being soaked in a curry- stringy, and chalky. - 2 stars, given that beef is considered a costly ingredient in today's society. Noodles: Cooked to perfection, both crispy noodles and the main noodles. Curry: Noticeable spice, with enough coconut to mellow it out. No fault here. Spices: Good amount of spices, decent balance, but I got a large chunk of something, could be cardamom, or cinnamon? Not the best experience there. Veg and Garnishes: I have no criticism here, everything works well together. Service: Over 40 minutes to serve food, and it came staggered. Not great service, especially at 7:30pm, when dinner rush is nearing its end. Appetizers were served at a decent pace, but over 40 minutes for a table of 6 nears a slow pace. -2 stars Atmosphere: Great, small vibes, cozy lighting, clean environment, well maintained washrooms. Overall, thairoomgrand has so much potential, but I cannot give it a recommendation given the overcooked beef. If I order a beef dish, I could care less the rarity: it's chunks of beef. What I care about is the quality. Overcooked beef in a $20 dish is unacceptable. Maybe I got a bad dish, or old stock. If ever I come back, I'll try another dish, and update accordingly. But at this time, I cannot recommend thairoomgrand. There's just too much competition in the area for solid eats in the $20-30 range.
