Make sure to show up early! With a party of 2 only ten minutes after they opened, we were seated right away. The squash fritters were absolutely incredible. We were licking our fingers!! The chef's pad thai was almost a let down afterwards - it was really good (we cleaned that plate too) but those squash fritters really couldn't be... More

Based on previous trip advisor reviews and our own love of different cuisines, my husband and I decided to try this Thai restaurant on our recent visit to Toronto. This was our first experience eating Thai cuisine and I have to say that we were both blown away by its flavours. It ranked up there with one of our ‘best... More

I've heard so many great things about this place and tried going there a couple of times in the past but the wait times have always been over 45 minutes, they don't take reservations. I ended up going here with a friend on a Monday evening (just after 5), the place was empty so I figured I no wait times.... More

I wish all Thai restaurants could hit a high note like Khao San Road. Every bite is delectable. Probably the best pad thai I'd every had in my life and every curry was outstanding.

It's not a big place but it gets crowded with lineups every time we go there to eat so go early right at 5 pm when they open. This restaurant is really delicious offering both vegan and regular menu options. We have lived in Bangkok years ago and my husband is Thai so we know authentic Thai cuisine. Their Shrimp... More

We were lucky to have stumbled upon this place. The ambiance is absolutely perfect. During the summer, the whole restaurant is open air. I loved the cozy seating that allowed us to chat with the patrons around us. The service was far and away the best we had in Toronto. Our waiter was friendly, the food came out quickly, and... More

If you are looking for the best Thai food place in Toronto go here! The Pad Thai and the yellow curry are marvelous! Only problem... it is always busy, be patient or go for lunch on a Saturday.

We ate in this restaurant twice in just over a week in Toronto. The food was fresh and delicious and for the quality it was very affordable. We never made a reservation but were seated without a fuss. The staff were helpful and pleasant and everything we ate was delicious.

This is by far one of the best Thal restaurants - not only in Toronto but anywhere I've traveled. It is not fancy, the menu is on a two-sided plasticized sheet and the seating is mostly communal. Reservations are only available for larger groups but not for individuals or small groups (under 6 or 8?). So go and put your... More

The original chef and her husband were co owners of this restaurant and have since left (they are over at Sukhothai - just as fab) - great food, great prices, great portions. Service is fast and zippy and despite constantly being packed our dinners there never feel rushed at all. Love the shrimp chips, khao soi, street style pad thai... More
