Quick Thai
So a new Thai fast food chain, Thai Express, has claimed spots in several Ottawa malls (Rideau, St. Laurent, Bayshore), and lo, it is good.
It's a pretty well-organized, large operation: there were 7 people visible behind the counter in a quite confined space, and they seemed to not get in each other's way. Food was fresh, ample, and flavorful. It's slightly more expensive than many other places: instead of $7.50 or so, a large lunch with drink is around $9.20, tax in.
From what I can tell, it appears to be run by Chinese people: it sounded to me like the working language behind the counter was Cantonese.
Pad thai, tom yum, curries, stir fries... so far, all good. The only complaint I have is that the spring rolls are more Chinese than Thai.

Art Jordan? Nope, I don't recall him; I'm 87-92. There was a Mr. Jordan who taught there, so maybe it's his dad, and he mentioned you?
