I also vote for Flip, Toss and Thai on Harbord. Finally tried them on Friday -- flavourful chicken lemongrass soup, decent spicy eggplant, rice, and pretty good Pad Thai with perfectly-cooked shrimp, all for only $20. I suggest sticking to 1-2 chiles out of 5 for added heat - the "3 chiles" on spicy eggplant was a bit overpowering. Got "2 chiles" for Pad Thai which was just right.

Overall, FTT isn't perfect, but they are a heck of a lot better than Salad King. Unfortunately, there are only 3 small tables and some stools by the window, so the atmosphere is abysmal at FTT.

Fresh ingredients, excellent preparation, flexible heat levels, gracious service, and reasonable prices.

on the south side of Harbord east of Brunswick. I had a tofu dish that was described as hot on the menu. I asked how hot? Was told it ranked "2 chilis" on a scale of 5. I asked for it to be prepared at "3 chilis". That was plenty hot, and I like spicy food.

Heat aside, the food is tasty and fresh, and the prices reasonable.
