Stephanie HagemeisterOctober 11, 2016Khao Soi is wonderful and they're happy to make it vegan AND gluten-free if you'd like. Very large portions and beautifully served. Expect a wait and make a reservation if possible. Worth the wait!
Awesome place. Very cool design, and the food is fantastic. Had the Massaman with medium spice. I'll probably go with spicy next time, as it didn't have too much of a kick, but the taste was amazing.
- Tobias NegeleMay 21, 2016Best food we had while staying in Toronto. Reservation recommended. This place is always packed. They do take out too! Just go to the back of the restaurant and order there.
Stella ZeeNovember 3, 2016The best Thai food I've ever had. We went twice in one week and the service the first time was better than the second however worth it because of how delicious it is. The spring rolls are amazing!!
Rita GaoOctober 16, 2016Favourite Thai restaurant! Curry was so delicious. Comfortable environment, good service. But it was so crowded and you have to wait even in weekday nights!
Jeffrey SilverFebruary 21, 2017Without a doubt the finest and true Thai food outside Thailand. Only issue is you most wait average 90min for a table in peak times. If you like spicy order true Thai spice. This place is awesome.
Matt DermodyOctober 9, 2019Khao Soi Curry is absolutely the way to go. It is a turmeric infused Chef special that is perfect for fall weather.
Tammy KittApril 11, 2015Pad kra pao is super authentic! Make sure you pour in that side chilli fish sauce! Green curry is also great but more sweet than the usual. you can also eat the coconut meat inside the coconut! Yum👌
Sunny KimNovember 29, 2017Unique & authentic. Definitely stands out among other typical American Thai spots. However, their “Spicy” is definitely calibrated for bland foreigners, so order “Thai spicy” if you want 🌶
Cecilia YeMay 24, 2019Had the beef noodle soup, it was delicious. Also tried a friend's Khao soi noodles and wished I got that as well. Great portions. Though the spice level could be spicier.
Nitin AlaburNovember 9, 2018Cocktails appetizers, entrees, everything was great. This probably is among the top 3 Thai restaurants I have been to (if not #1 among Thai places in DC, NYC and Toronto). Must visit spot in Toronto.
Marcos SubíaNovember 3, 2017Most delicious Asian food I have eaten so far. Prepare for a little bit of spicy plates. Totally worth it.
A must visit. This restaurant is an adventure with crazy decor, wicked service, great Thai cocktails and true classic eats. Must have green curry and Pad Thai.
Sam WinnickApril 10, 2018LOVED. Atmosphere is cool and food is excellent. Wings were incredible, chicken satay and beef mamason both good. Get the Thai iced tea too.
LilyJuly 20, 2018this place has a totally different vibe than what i’m used to for thai places and i loved it! it can get very busy depending on the time. loved their curry inside the coconut the most.
Thomas DelevacqueMarch 19, 2016Had mamasan beef curry & pad thai. Both very good. possibility to adjust spiciness is very good. Decent mango with sticky rice. Lacking coconut cream on top- Brian JengJune 30, 2017Normally I would never suggest to get Pad Thai at a North American thai restaurant, but this is the best Pad Thai I've had outside of Thailand. Order to-go for fastest service -- can get busy.
AmateurConciergeOctober 3, 2022This place could be so much better if they didn’t unnecessarily sweeten everything. The massaman and pad kra pow were solid….but better if more spice and less chili- Brandon ZJune 8, 2014It was so good! Thai ice tea was great! Papaya salad was amazing and pad Thai just like in Thailand ! Going back for sure! The mango dessert with sticky rice was great as well!
Aparajita KaickerNovember 19, 2015Loved the chicken wings! The papaya salad was good and the shrimps appetizer was really fresh. The lemongrass ice tea wasn't the greatest -- just ice sugar syrup with a hint of lemongrass.- JessicaJanuary 29, 2016The good reviews about the place were all very true! Make sure to make a reservation whenever you're thinking of coming- it's pretty much always full
- Probably one of favourite Thai restaurants in Toronto. I usually go for the Panang (red) curry or the Khao Soi 👌🏽
Yasaman PourghaziAugust 13, 2022The sticky rice mango desert is very nice. The stew with Ox tail is AMAZING! (I forgot the name of the food) one of the best Thai places I have been to👍🏻
Great Thai restaurant in the Entertainment District. I highly recommend the Kao Soi for it's superb flavours. Get it with beef - generous portions and very tasty.- Andrea MacKinnonNovember 8, 2018One of Toronto’s best Thai restaurants. Seating is tight and there is often a wait, but once you dive into a curry served inside a coconut, you’ll be glad you stopped in.
BEST THAI IN TORONTO. The fritters, mango sticky rice, pad Thai and green curry are a must. Their menu is small but they truly excel in all their offerings.
Rae GibsonJune 18, 2014Everything is delicious and so authentic. Great service and cool vibe. It's like you've been transported to Pai! Our new go to Thai spot.
Yifei ZhangDecember 28, 2015Try the chicken wings. The slight scent they've got from the spice is quite special.
Christine HaSeptember 20, 2016Great cheap-ish northern Thai food. Tom yum Caesar cocktail, squash fritters 👍🏼. Fritters are large portion. Usually a wait but full service at bar. Cool casual vibe. 🍚
- Hairy ApplesSeptember 11, 2014Pad gra prow and tom yum soup was delicious. Warning: spicy on Tom yum soup is deadly, order that as regular as it's already spicy.
Nikita PandaJune 16, 2016Pai has good vegetarian options , When I go here I never share my food it's so delicious. I like their pad Thai, Khao soi , Pad cha hett and mango sticky rice.
Ksu KAugust 12, 2015Authentic Thai food! Not mellowed down or sweetened, the menu is simple and informative, the service is great, the portions are generous - just like in Thailand!
EuniMay 31, 2017This place is amazing! Get the Dazed and Confused cocktail. The green curry is unique and flavorful, and tofu pad thai is delicious of course!!!
ThomasAugust 11, 2014Green curry with pork. Love the presentation plus the coconut meat can be carved from the shell. Love it!!
- ElisaJanuary 31, 2020Khao Soi and spring rolls are solid. Reminds me of ChiangMai. Pad Thai is not very good though, noodles are mushy and flavor tastes too savory.
Erica LeibnerFebruary 11, 2015They can veganize most of their menu items! Chef Nuit was a nurse in Thailand and is very serious when it comes to dietary preferences.
Delish Thai fare priced competitively for us location. Wait to be seated can be long though recommend take out if you are living in the neighborhood- Stella ZeeNovember 3, 2016If you have a minute, read the love story behind this place. Makes it an even more enjoyable experience🤗
- Yasamin KNovember 19, 2018Tom yum soup and pad thai with shrimp was great. Everything here is so delicious. Loved the ambience
Saibal ChakraburttyDecember 30, 2015Pad Gra Prow with crispy pork, foreigner spicy = mind-blowing. Great service too, despite a crowd.
Rebecca RaiaApril 15, 2017Even the simplest pad Thai is absolutely delicious. I loved the iced lemongrass tea. Super crowded.
Autumn ChoiApril 30, 2019HUGE restaurant. Good drink selection and delicious food. The rice dish was everyone’s favorite
Olivia WuJuly 6, 2016Very nice staff, efficient and considerate. Great atmosphere, perfect for friends gathering and dates!
I liked the pad gra prow with crispy pork. Worth trying for a first visit.
Joice DangSeptember 7, 2015haven't had anything I didn't like. great fresh and light flavours. sweet and spicy, my fav 🙌🏽👌🏼
Awesome...super couple Nuit and Jeff Regular knock it out again. Flavours so intense, it'll knock you silly...In a good way!
Alex RaduAugust 25, 2014Great vibe, quite authentic cuisine. Unfortunately, service is slow, and both the tom yum and khao soi were very salty by Thai standards. Pad gra prow was fantastic though. May return.

"This is my go to Thai restaurant in Toronto. The food is well priced and consistent. You can't go wrong getting the Khao Soi or the Panang curry. Heads up, the Panang is a less soupy than others."
