Went with friends while home and it was amazing, authentic (except the tempura in the tempura shrimp) generous portions, fresh, hot and tasty

The location on Broadway always provides with freshly made, tasty and delicious meals. The red curry, pad thai and the ginger soup are to die for. Owner and his family are lovely people as well!

Am I missing something here? Based on past photos I was expecting a fresh, made to order, steaming hot Pad Thai bursting with flavor. 👌🤷‍♂️ I was directed to a display case with chilled, pre-made meals with only 6 left, mostly Pad Thai. Apparently it's cooked off site as this is an Express location though I can't seem to find any other location in Corner Brook. Reluctantly, I opted for the Pad Thai. She kindly microwaved it for me as I didn't have one in my hotel room. I was hoping for fresh but here we are. It's nothing terrible but not spectacular either, I've had and made better. It's mostly sweet and oily, too much on both accounts with an abundance of shredded carrot, a few flecks of green onion, egg and a dusting of peanuts. I was expecting finer noodles, not a broad noodle which ended up in a congealed mass that I slowly had to break apart. An option for hot sauce and fresh limes would have been nice, perhaps I should have asked. I definitely wouldn't order it again. If this is their business model I don't anticipate it to last. Hopefully I'm missing something; back door, secret knock to get to something more amazing and authentic, oh... and hot made to order, not microwaved.

Wow. The food here is definitely a hidden gem! Can't believe I waited this long to try it. So fresh, the presentation was outstanding and the flavors were like nothing I've experienced around here. Definitely try the Korean Beef Bulgoli or the Pad Thai, both were delicious. Definitely worth the stop in. You'll definitely come back! I will for sure!

The express location runs out of food/boba and drinks everyday before 4pm so if you are interested or craving boba best go before 4pm. Many people have called wondering why location is dark before closing times and the answer is always the same ran out of food and drinks

Partner got violently I ll after eating here. The place was freezing and service was long and took forever to even just get our drinks. We have the tofu pad Thai and the basil stir fry. Taste was ok but clearly something is wrong. We got there at opening and seemed like they weren t ready to open at all. I had high hopes but was very disappointed.

First time, tried the chicken basil stir fry. It was very nice. Food was hot when served and flavourful. Only drawback was it was very cold inside.. maybe the place lacks central heating. I will visit again for the food.

It was closed on a Sunday but the owner still picked up the phone and took my order. Authentic Asian food with authentic spices, so be careful if you cant handle spicy foods. Let them know if you cant handle the heat!

Food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The server was so helpful since it was our first time there she went over the menu with us and recommended dishes for us which was perfect. The only thing I would suggest is to have it a little warmer there we found it really cold while waiting for our food. Not a fancy place but the food was will worth the trip

Went here with high hopes as people recommended the food. Our group sat down to a freezing cold room as we were told the heaters were broken. They put a space heater next to our table that did absolutely nothing. The place was empty but after waiting for 20 minutes to not even be offered a drink let alone have our order taken, we left .

Without a doubt one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I tried the Lechon Kawali starter and immediately have a new favorite appetizer. I fear it may be hard to find elsewhere in NL and I doubt it could be beaten if found. My wife started with the Shrimp Tempura as she is a huge sushi fan. She was very impressed with the taste and quality. The menu listed the @Leesh Rideout Basil Stir Fry as the hottest item the serve. Always one to test myself with Scoville units I happily ordered this dish. I was not disappointed. Not only does it bring the heat it brings flavour. Which is not an easy thing to balance. Knowing this is a menu option will make it very difficult for me to try anything else next time we are in Corner Brook. My wife opted for the Pad See Ewe and loved it. She couldnt finish (good portion sizes) so I helped her out. She isnt a fan of spices and she still got great flavour. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in the Corner Brook area. We enjoyed our experience very much.
