Very rarely do I give 5 stars to any restaurant, but I make an exception for the food and atmosphere at Pomelo.
We went there a week after they opened and the place looks great. They have a darker quiet atmosphere that invites intimate conversations. The owner was very friendly and inviting (as he ought to be) and it was quite nice talking to him for the short time that we did.
The food is the real highlight here. Calamari was superb, perfectly cooked (which is harder to do than one would think) with a unique breading I have not had the pleasure of tasting before. We had the dumpling appetizer served in a spicy-sweet peanut sauce and loved every bite, brilliant combination of the savoury filling with the silky sweetness of the sauce. The oft-overused phrase "to die for" comes to mind here.
The main course was also delightful. I went out on a limb and ordered the red snapper, not something I would normally go for. The appetizers raised my expectations and the fish certainly delivered. Again, perfectly cooked and delicious.
There are many fine Thai restaurants here in Burlington, but Pomelo has now taken the lead as my favourite Asian restaurant. I expect many more great dining experiences from them in the months ahead.
Tried lunch, came back for dinner. Only open a month or so, and we visited after the normal lunch hour, so only having a couple of other patrons was probably to be expected. Simply and pleasantly decorated, they could handle a lot of people. Lunch for 2: Very cold outside and the hostess suggested Honey-Ginger tea as a beverage, very pleasant. Ordered Satay Chicken Pho, plain Chicken Pho, Spring Roll Platter for 2 and Thai Curry spring roll. Chicken Pho was a little, well, plain, but everything else was excellent. Really enjoyed it. $30 plus tip for 2. Decided to return for Dinner the next day.
Dinner for 4 - again, mid week and there were only a couple of other tables taken. Had the hostess adjust the blinds a little so the lights on the building next door didn't shine in our eyes. Started with the spring roll platter and Thai Curry rolls to get the others' opinion - again excellent all round. Had the Ginger Duck, Satay Shrimp and BBQ Beef Ribs. Really pleasant taste to everything. The ribs were just a little tough, but it might be the cut - hadn't had it before, but quite tasty, nonetheless. Enough food for everyone, and skipped desert! Together with a bottle of Australian wine, about $120 for 4 plus tip. Have recommended this place to others and hope it becomes popular and stays around. Excellent.
I quite enjoyed my dinning experience here, even though it was quite short. The food was delicious, the waitress and manager were both quite helpful and eager to please, and the decor and ambiance were great.
Give this place a try before it gets popular!
Excellent food. Loved the Thai Green Curry Beef. Also the Thai Platter was tasteful. Definitely will visit again and recommend to more friends. Newly renovated location with comfort and suitable atmosphere.
Excellent quality customer service and ensures needs are met. Environment is friendly and decorative with portraits that are oriental and relates to the theme. Their fried calamari, the squid was very delicious. The fried rice has an interesting aroma to it and the fish was worth trying. I don't normally eat fish, but the fish served here was an exceptional. All in all, the way they've presented their food and themselves I would say is very well done. I would go again.
