Gluten-Free Eats: Thai Sun, Waterloo
May 23, 2008 – 1:00 pmI’m going to start a new semi-common posting that will be about places in my local area (or wherever I go!) that are gluten-free friendly.
Thai Sun is located in Uptown Waterloo, in the Waterloo Town Square Mall, it’s all about the authentic thai food and promises to bring the best thai experience in Waterloo.
We got to the restaurant and unfortunately I was told by the waitress that most of the items on the regular menu have some form of gluten/wheat in them, mostly within the sauces; However, she was able to compromise as they had a special gluten-free menu.
The menu included about six items so the selection on entrees was not huge. Being a huge fan of Pad Thai (and at the same time looking to see if Thai Sun can beat Ben Thanh’s Pad Thai) I ordered just that.
I must say, I was not dissapointed. Infact, I was rather impressed. The Pad Thai dish I was served was massive and very, very delicious. Miranda had a pork entree and her serving looked miniscule to mine. The Pad Thai was very flavourfull, sweet, and the sauce was superb. I had to take some home as I could simply not finish my serving.
The pork dish Miranda received, as mentioned was smaller and to be honest it was not as impressive looking. Although, according to her it tasted great, just was a small serving.
The restaurant has a nice atmosphere although can get famously busy at times. The patio is a nice new addition if you’re looking for something a bit more open and quiet.
Price was just right. My Pad Thai cost a measly $12, and the pork entree was $15. With some drinks and tip, it’s a nice and different meal for $40-50.
Be sure to check out Thai Sun one time when you’re feeling something that is light, but filling at the same time.
