Willy DonaldFebruary 21, 2013If you are vegetarian the roti is fantastic. Great blend of spices with the sweetness if the yams and starch of the chick pea. A delicate roti casing in top of it.
Friendly tip for vegetarians who love the QM burger, it is 100% served at dinner time but only with salad, it's just not listed on the dinner menu. Just ask your server:)
Gabriel SeahMay 20, 2022Red curry seafood hot pot had the consistency of Thai panang curry, but a lighter flavour (it still had a coconut milk flavour). It was served with Western vegetables. It was decent.
EaterOctober 7, 2013A comfortable classic. For over 30 years, this favourite Queen West Thai locale has been the perfect après shopping destination. Many patrons order the same dishes, year after year. [Eater 38 Member]
Marianaa WorrallJanuary 21, 2020Good for getting many options and sharing!! All amazing!! Every time we go we try smth new and we love it. Our to go place while in dwntwn and we have visits from abroad.
Thirsty JamesJuly 30, 2014Lots of choices on Queen St., but she wanted Pad Thai and I love Boddingtons in the tall can! Delicious Thai!
- Gabriel SeahJanuary 25, 2022Many of the dishes here are Thai or normal cafe food, but all the noodles, the red curry seafood hot pot, the ping gai & the first 3 starters are Laotian.
- Gabriel SeahMay 20, 2022Ping gai was good. It had a nice grilled flavour. The sauce was mild. The salad was an interesting & good side.
RASHA DJuly 15, 2018Beautifully done sticky rice! Loved all we had - veg burger, poached eggs and English muffins, and the tofu spring rolls are to die for !- Gabriel SeahMay 20, 2022The spring roll was decent. Inside there was a lot of jicama. It was slightly different from a normal spring roll. The sauce was a sour peanut sauce which was nice.
Ian WagnerNovember 12, 2016Absolutely fantastic food and the atmosphere is off the charts. Not what you'd expect; great Thai food in an English pub atmosphere.
Amir KarimiNovember 30, 2018It is very cosy and beautiful place. Foods are so tasty and interesting. I had a new and good experience here at Queens Ave Toronto
- Azhar BayJanuary 14, 2020Cannelloni with 3 types of cheese is amazing feels like a homemade pasta! 👌
- The QM Burger is a delicious veggie burger in a pita with their own special sauce. Only served at lunch.
BaharinaaaJuly 27, 2019This thai food place is amazing, I loved their padthai! They claim that their menu has been the same since 1970s.
Alice FerrisMay 5, 2016Try the Khao Soy Gai - Chicken and noodles in a mild coconut curry sauce. I added chilies for more zing. (via @Foodspotting)- Mitchell ButlerOctober 27, 2016There's a nice patio out back. Turn right when you enter and follow the stairs. And try the Ping Guy.
Ken COctober 1, 2014Wild Mushroom Ravioli is good...the Pad Thai is no better than any other Thai place in the city.
Pauline WongJuly 4, 2013Anything you order will be delicious; personal faves are the Ping Gai and the noodle dishes.
rosie (siman) yakobJune 14, 2012The ping gai is phenomenal. Perfectly crispy and tender on the inside. The coriander lime sauce is perfect!
ValDecember 3, 2012Vegan options: Sticky rice app w peanut sauce, roti & tofu pad thai made w/o fish sauce & egg
Ping Gai chicken is my all time favorite. That cilantro mojo is awesome!- Mitchell KesslerApril 19, 2015Absolutely delicious. The Ping Gai and the Calamari are a must get and are to die for
- jeff greenMay 23, 2012Good lunch spot, make sure you get into the patio in the back. It's like a mini garden back there
Adam FDecember 5, 2013Kale salad with chicken and pistachio, its less pretentious than you think and twice as tasty.
Richard MacKinnonAugust 16, 2011The Phad Thai is amazing, as is the service. FANTASTIC cakes. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Pad Thai and a pint of Big Wheel at the bar -- one of my favourite solo meals out.
Anthony MNovember 3, 2012The artichoke dip tastes, and probably is, hummus. Don't get it. The tacos were not that good. The pasta was great an the services was good.
The arugula salad it amazing! And the staff are lovely!
Ali SiftonNovember 6, 2011have a sweet tooth? Try the Stuffed French Toast and then wander Queen st in a sugar coma.
Varied menu that'll please even your picky eating friends. The khao soy is a winner.
Tom EmrichJune 16, 2010Quinoa salad is the best. But there dessert selection is where it's really at. Get a seat on the patio if it's nice.
