AditiSeptember 30, 2014Excellent food! It was on the spicier side, but I really enjoyed their pad Thai. They don't take reservations and are busy during peak times. I found it a bit too crowded and noisy, but good overall.
Kathryn Wong-CrooksAugust 9, 2013If you want to go here for lunch or dinner, call ahead and make reservations, because this place is jumping! VERY tasty food. I had the Khao Siu: phenomenal. Decent pricing; nice atmosphere. Must do!
Ian LeungSeptember 6, 2014Bangkok style pad thai is excellent. Khao Soi (egg noodle golden curry) is also excellent, albeit coconutty and a bit heavy. Not a fan of the milk tea - too heavy / sweet for me. Warning, it's big.
Get the Khao Soi: a sweet, rich and fragrant yellow curry (soup) with noodles and succulent braised beef. It is accompanied by a wedge of lime and garnished with crispy fried noodles. Mouth. Watering.
Brittney CampbellMay 2, 2014Pretty amazing. Best Thai I've had on the eastern side of the continent. If you're by yourself ask if there is one stool available at the bar...they will move stuff down and bring out a chair for you.
Ryan BannonOctober 17, 2013This renowned Thai eatery is as busy at 11am Tuesday morning as it is 7pm Friday night. The jammed and bustling atmosphere only lends itself to the dining experience. Try the garlic chicken to start.
Stephanie ChengDecember 9, 2013Sunday nights means < 15 minute wait! The papaya salad and khao soi are delicious! Everything is really flavourful, personally would've preferred if it was a little lighter.
Sabrina Alexandra RoyOctober 6, 2012A pad thaï that tastes just as good as the ones you eat in Bangkok streets. The coconut tapioca was also very tasty. Good music, great vibe. Bonus: the waiters are all young friendly Thai.- Khanh LySeptember 24, 2015Try the 3 flavour pad thai! And hicken and papaya salad as a starter are also highly recommended. Quick and good service to! Will come back for sure.
Laura Delgado RanalliJuly 26, 2013The Khao Soi is really delicious and one of a kind! Like nothing I've ever had on a Thai restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Thanks to this place, all other Thai restaurants now disappoint. Get the fried squash fritters to start, the Khao Soi entree (AMAZING) & wash it down with Thai iced tea. It's busy but worth the wait.- Khanh LyJanuary 20, 2016I had the Khao Soi dish two days in a row for dinner. Why change a winning formula, my all time favourite.
Chef's Pad Thai is delicious. But having it spicy is not for the faint hearted. Mango juice is good but the Coconut water is great. Loving the old skool beats they play here!
B YOctober 30, 2014Very authentic place. Even the waiter and waitress are from Thailand. The Thai I've tea is great so are the many items in their many. I had been back many times to this place.
Not InterestedAugust 23, 2013Squash fritters and the tapioca & coconut dessert are a must try.. And undoubtedly some of the best pad Thai in the city!
Will St MartinSeptember 27, 2015This place is amazing! The crispy shrimp for starters was delicious. Really friendly staff and amazing dishes. Expect a bit of wait at times.
❀✿ YIᑎG ✿❀June 7, 2014Thai milk tea is good. They also no longer accept reservations so either prepare to wait a while or get someone to show up early to get your name on a wait list.
Janara ZhakosyaMay 23, 2013Come early! They open at 11.30. You can also do take-out. Street style pad thai and braised beef woth curry were delicious! Vegan menu is available too
Paul ChuaticoJanuary 28, 2016Customer service is great! Food is authentic Thai cooking and the spice meter can be off the charts. Thai spicy was very very spicy!
Kelvin LeeDecember 16, 2014Like everyone else has said, the Thai tea was amazing! They also offer all dishes peanut free! Very nice accommodation for people with allergies.
Emilie WongMarch 23, 2015mm moderately priced and yummy green curry! definitely wanna come back to try the fresh rolls mm
Joshua RuckOctober 28, 2014Fresh rolls are deliciously fresh! Soup was rich with perfectly cooked veg. Spicy three flavor pad thai was great.
your momJanuary 29, 2013For $3 extra, upgrade your lunch to a combo. The soup is delicious and the soft roll is light. All in all, tasty til your main comes.
Nicole LisaOctober 23, 2015Food was delicious and I will be returning for some more pad Thai or anything tofu!
Aubrey DeeJanuary 25, 2012Best Thai food in town This place is always packed, but worth the wait. I usually get teh Khao Soi with braised beef (they also offer chicken).
Laura ShumFebruary 5, 2015Gets really busy fast. Unfortunately they got mine and my boyfriend's order mixed up - I ask for mild and he asked for spicy but I got spicy and he got mild. Food was good though!
Gavin BarrettApril 10, 2013pad gra prao with beef used to be one of my most frequent Thai lunches in Hong Kong - this is the first time I've eaten something as good here.- K DNovember 27, 2015Squash fritters are a must! Three flavours pad Thai and the Panama curry are also delicious!
Kristina KaidanovichAugust 4, 2011place is packed even on a weeknight (make reservations) but food def worth the wait - especially if you are a spice lover. Try the sam roas with shrimp, so good!
Cheng DangApril 16, 2013The Khao Soi is incredibly delicious--tender braised beef, amazing egg noodles and crisps in a golden coconut curry.
Moriah BacusApril 4, 2012Yes, Chef's Special Pad Thai is ALL THAT! Enjoyed the green curry as well. Wish there was additional licensed drink selection beyond wine and beer.
Whitney TFebruary 26, 2013Must get the fried chicken and thai milk tea! And try to make a reservation if you can...it was packed before 5pm on a saturday.
Ekua AidooJanuary 14, 2016Amazing vibe and great food! Be careful with the level of spiciness you order, it gets really hot!- R CAugust 24, 2014Amazing pad thai. The high-bar tables and the elusive vintage greenness of the place is impossible not to love.
ValNovember 14, 2013A thai place with a separate vegan menu, now that's rare! Very popular and no reservations allowed, so expect to wait an hour or more.
Chris CraigmanJuly 3, 2015Hands down THE BEST pad thai I've ever had. Literally. Very flavourful and spicy. 👌
Vincent PrimeauAugust 9, 2015The chicken-basil-egg dish was the most delicious thai food i had outside if thailand
Ashkan EnJanuary 29, 2016Three flavours pad thai is amazing! I got medium spicy which is somehow not spicy at all!
Jobye KarmakerJuly 22, 2012Hands down the best thai food I've had in Toronto so far. Try the Sam Roas pad thai and cocunut shrimp!
EricJuly 5, 2015The Thai tea latte is way too sweet and the staff won't do anything about it. You'll literally need to add water. Also a warning; 6 spicy is fine going in, by not on the way out....
- Nik PNovember 19, 2013Expect a wait- they always have line ups especially in the summer. Chef and kitchen won't modify food. Very tasty Tai.
please order chef's special pad thai. SO GOOD! the thai iced tea is also very good even though it is too sweet. but sometimes the service is too slow.
MondokiJanuary 28, 2012Try the soup with coconut. So flavored! I also had a curried chicken. Everything is perfect. You have to go there!
Gaeng Kaew Wan -- in other words, the best green curry in Toronto to ever graze your lips. Do yourself a favour and order this with chicken!
