Name: Kub Khao Neighbourhood: L’Amoreaux Contact: 3561 Sheppard Ave. E., 416-297-8888, kubkhao.ca
Owner: Patrick Suksaen (Jatujak) Chef: Sathit (Tom) Thanomphan (Khao San Road, Young Thailand)

The food

Kub Khao loosely translates to “with rice,” and Suksaen and Thanomphan have built a menu of regional Thai dishes that rely on rice as the main accompaniment, like tamarind eggs and spicy eggplant stir fry. Signature noodle dishes include khao soi from Northern Thailand, and a version of sukiyaki made with bean curd that’s popular in Bangkok. A variety of red, green and regional curries are also available for both lunch and dinner.

The drinks

The restaurant isn’t currently licensed, so for now the bar serves green tea mocktails and soft drinks. Suksaen imports a few different types of Jasmine tea to create the restaurant’s signature iced tea.

Jasmine iced tea with coconut milk and sugar. $3.50.

The space

Construction was quick on the 18-seat restaurant. Suksaen kept the design fairly minimalist, dressing the walls with Thai baskets and the country’s flag.
