- Yes, it is a husband/wife team, and one of the reasons (aside from the good
- food) that I particularly like the place is their friendliness. Help keep
- them in business! If you like a rich sweet/spicy peanut sauce, try their
- Rama Thai (Beef and fresh spinach in this sauce), and specify hotness.
- I haven't seen this dish in any other Thai restaurant yet.

- It's in the "Westgate West shopping center", between Lawrence Expressway and
- Saratoga on Prospect as indicated above. Please note, food fans, that in the
- same shopping center is a Trader Joes, Liquor Barn, and a Japanese grocery
- (sorry, don't remember name). The Thai restaurant is behind a Sizzler that
- fronts on Prospect, next to that BofA. The Japanese grocery is on the way
- to the big OSH on the Lawrence Expressway side. On the way, you will pass a
- great bagel shop just past the Thai Restaurant. Hmm, I'm getting hungry!
