We got beef boat noodles and it was such a satisfying, comforting bowl. The broth was aromatic, rich, and infused with herbs and spices. If you’re not familiar with boat noodles, the broth can feel a little thicker than your usual noodle soups, but that’s exactly what makes it so cozy and full of depth. Every sip felt bold yet warm, flavorful, and pretty close to what I remember having in Thailand. The beef balls were pretty solid but the fried wonton didn't stand out as much.

If you’re craving noodles in broth, this place will never miss. The Thai boat noodles and lemon pork noodles are my favourite; basically identical to what you’d eat in Thailand. For dessert, the coconut custard is delicious. The service is always great, and the restaurant environment is so lively.

Absolutely loved 555 Boat Noodles! The bowls may be small, but the flavors are huge—rich, authentic Thai broths with the perfect balance of spice and depth. The noodles have great texture, and the meat was tender and flavorful. I also tried the Yentafo noodles and they were packed with seafood and a delicious tangy kick. The mango sticky rice was the perfect sweet ending. The restaurant has a cozy, casual vibe and really feels like a hidden gem in downtown Toronto. Definitely one of the best spots for authentic Thai noodles in the city—I’ll be back soon!

Got the boat noodles with beef. It has a nice spice kick to it with a boat load of flavours! I really enjoyed the like flavour to the soup base. There is a balance of meat to veggies to noodles. Everything was well cooked. You select the type of meat and noodles you want. For what it is, I would say it is a bit expensive for the portion you get but definitely a good place to check out in the area. Service was quick. The mango sticky rice is quite good!

My friends highly recommended 555 Boat Noodles, so we decided to give it a try. The first thing you notice right away is how small and packed the space is — at times, it feels like there's barely any air to breathe. But in a way, that adds to the authentic vibe, making you feel like you’re actually somewhere in Thailand. I ordered Kao Lao — some kind of beef soup with rice on the side. We also got pork and shrimp dumplings to share. My friends ordered the Tom Yum seafood soup and the noodle soup. Overall, the food was quite tasty. The only issue I had was that my dish wasn’t marked as spicy on the menu — and I personally don’t enjoy spicy food. The meat itself was amazing: juicy, tender, and full of flavor. But the soup was way too spicy for me, and I couldn’t even finish half of it. That said, my friends were all happy with their meals. The service was decent, especially considering how busy the place was. We also ordered mango sticky rice, and it was my first time trying it. I loved it — the mix of textures and flavors really impressed me. In conclusion, this place is very colorful and definitely reflects Thai culture well. The decor is charming, and the food is delicious. I definitely recommend it and look forward to trying more dishes next time!

quick service and amazing flavour - specially the appetizers. food is not overly spicy, very tolerable. my faves were the - dried noodles with beef, fried wonton, and fish cakes. all were super flavourful, great portions and were served very quickly. their mango sticky rice is divine - must try they do not take reservations and have very limited seating - so if you don’t want wait, definitely visit outside of peak hours.

The portion was a bit small for the cost, but the taste was great! The beef noodle soup was rich and smoothe, the Tom yum was decent but didn't hit the spot. The manag sticky rice was perfect however, smooth mango, warm sticky not to sweet rice. Overall great place I'd visit again.

I’d say this is a unique Thai cuisine—it may not be fully authentic, but the food is good! Portions are generous, so even the small bowl options are filling. The boat noodles are unique, with a rich, dense broth. As for the mango sticky rice, it’s pretty close to the real deal and honestly, really tasty. I’ve been back three times already, so that says a lot!

It was snowing outside, which means it's time for some hearty noodle soup. I saw boat noodle on 555 Boat Noodle menu and immediately knew I needed to try it. Ambiance 4/5: a cute homey restaurant but it was small. Maybe holding max of 30 ppl, and at that capacity, there wasn't any path to walk or move around. You are literally shoulder to shoulder and walking in between a foot (I'm from the US so you do the math on what that is in metric lol) or two of "walk space" between tables. I almost tripped leaving the space. Customer Service 5/5: even though it was crowded on a Sunday night, everyone was tentative. The server came and apologized for the delay and seating arrangements. I really appreciated that. Food 5/5: I ordered the boat noodle, spicy. It was good, pretty flavorful. The waitress brought over the spices so I can adjust to my taste. I was able to make it more spicy and sweet/tangy. The braised beef was tender and the meatballs were a bit chewy, just how I like them. I wish I hadn't gotten the vermicelli since it was so thin, it had no chew to it; it just soaked up the broth. I would have opted for a thicker noodle. I live in California and have had multiple renowned boat noodles. I feel that based on location, this is a good hidden gem but it's different than the ones in California. Regardless, I enjoyed my meal and will come back if I'm ever in Toronto again.

This is a relatively new Thai place near Yonge and College. The menu is small, with a focus on their signature "Thai Boat Noodle" dish. I tried the Medium-size Thai Boat Noodles with beef and rice noodles, the fried wontons and the Yum Mama. The standout was definitely the Thai boat noodles and I would recommend it. It is very flavorful, not oily, and only a little spicy. It comes with some beef balls and sliced beef which was very tender. The fried wontons and Yum Mama were also pretty good. The "Yum Yum" dishes are a hybrid salad type dish. They are very herby with strong mint / lime flavors. If you're not into that sort of flavor, I'd recommend skipping it, but I found it quite good. You're also given a tray of condiments on the table which I believe is fish sauce, chili oil, sugar, and a mixed fish sauce with chilis. Service is very good. The vibe, to me, is trying to emulate the traditional Thai restaurants. The area is quite small (only fits max 20 people), and there is limited place to put your coats or bags. Definitely more of an issue for larger groups or in the winter when everything is cold and wet.

Located just north of College Station is 555 Boat Noodles. This cute shop is tucked away just off the main road and has limited seating. My party of 3 came on a Sunday evening around 6pm and there was maybe a 15-20 minute wait. What we got: - Boat Noodles with Beef - Lemon Pork with Rice Noodles - Yum Woonsen - Thai Iced Tea Final Thoughts: I got a medium, but the portion size is quite large even though it doesn't look like it! I really enjoyed both noodle soups. I got the lemon pork, but asked for it without the peanuts as I'm allergic and my waitress was very accommodating making sure the kitchen knew and checking in with us when our food arrived. The Thai iced tea was quite sweet and we had to wait for the ice to water it down a bit. I enjoyed the food here and would come back, but would recommend coming on off hours as there isn't anywhere to wait when it gets busy and only a handful of tables.

Way too overrated for the main dishes. The flavor is not complex at all I can taste what condiments are in: Lee Kum Kee chilli sauce with msg. I wanted to give a 2/5 but 3/5 for the mango sticky rice. Service is ok. The ambiance is crowded maybe the restaurant wants a street food vibe. Unfortunately, the AC is barely on in a -10 degrees weather :(

Everything at 555 Boat Noodles felt very homey. I ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings, lemon pork noodles with rice noodles (M), and mango sticky rice for dessert. I loved the lemon pork noodles--the broth was tangy and not too salty, with a delicious homemade flavour. The only downside was that the rice noodles broke apart too easily, but overall, it was really good. I'd love to try something new next time. The pork and shrimp dumplings were the highlight. The filling was bouncy and flavourful, and the green sauce added a perfect, zesty kick. The mango sticky rice was good but nothing special. I'd definitely return to 555 Boat Noodles. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the washroom was super clean.

This place has a really lovely 'homey' feel to it. It felt like finding a small hidden gem. The Thai boat noodles reminded me of Vietnamese pho with more of a beef flavoured twist to it. And although the menu said it was going to be spicy, the spice level was actually quite nice and mild. The broth was flavourful and the braised beef was quite tender. The price was not cheap, but probably around average for the area: Small beef boat noodles - $15 Medium braised beef boat noodles - $20 Thai milk tea - $6 Service was good. Friendly staff and they even have a hook wall for coats. They were attentive to our peanut allergy (although unable to accommodate being cross-contamination free).

Delicious! Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu (including the gelato/ice cream). The place is small - keep in mind if going with a larger group but perfect for groups of 2 or 3 people. The servers were very kind and helped answer questions. I would highly recommend the lemon pork. Had a nice kick of spice but was also well paired with the lemony broth.

Highly recommend the dry noodles over the soup one! (Although both are good) overall a great spot but a bit pricey. Suggest opting out of the drinks that are 6 bucks thats mainly ice. Mango sticky rice is a must!!! Would come back if in the area.

Got the classic boat noodles & I love that you get to choose your protein and noodles. I went for the braised beef with the wonton noodles. A winter must-try if you're ever in the Yonge & Wellesley area

555 Boat Noodles, located along Grosvenor St. near Yonge St., is Toronto's newest Thai restaurant serving authentic boat noodles. They offer a wide selection of noodle soups (boat - choice of beef, braised beef, or pork, pork, lemon pork, tom yum seafood, pork ribs, yentafo) where you can choose your noodle of choice - either wonton noodles, rice noodles, or vermicelli. You can also choose your portion size as well (small or medium). They also have some appetizers as well as yum (I believe a cold Thai noodle dish), rice and drinks/desserts. The restaurant is small where there is seating for about 30 customers. They are currently in their soft opening phase. I stopped by 555 Boat Noodles on a Wed late morning right when they opened at around 11:30am. The restaurant already had several occupied tables. As soon as I sat down, staff gave me a small sheet with a QR code to view their menu. I opted to get the small pork noodle (Chinese broccoli, garlic, coriander, bean sprouts, onion) with rice noodles. I also opted for a fried wonton appetizer (friend shrimp and pork wonton with a spicy chili sauce) and kek huay (chrysanthemum juice). The food was made at a reasonable time. The fried wontons were smaller than I expected but had a delicious crunch and the spicy chili sauce was sweet but not overly spicy. The pork noodles were delicious - the broth it was in packed so much flavour! The pork noodle came with slices of pork 2 pork balls as well as a pork meatball. I enjoyed the noodle soup and definitely was thinking about the next time I would come back to try other items. Overall, great new place for Thai noodles in the downtown area! Service was friendly and food was great. Definitely will return for more!

Dropped by on a cold winter afternoon. The place was packed and there was a significant queue to get a spot. After about a 20 minute wait or so, a table freed up. The service was very good but the table layout isn't exactly the best. It is not very spacious for some of the tables. It seems they tried to cramp as many tables in the store vs comfort. The food was good. Tried their signature boat noodles, fried wonton, longan drink and dessert. Overall, it hit the spot. Will revisit in the future.

A newly opened quaint restaurant at Yonge and Grosvenor, bringing authentic thai flavours with a spin of the iconic boat noodles. I tried the braised beef noodles. It was very flavourful, less broth than I expected. The small size was small but enough for me. Small size is $15, large size is $20. I ordered the appetizer shrimp & pork dumplings. I highly recommend it, the spice level was mild. I can't handle much spice but this was very good. The dining area is very small and they managed to fit many tables. It's good for 2-4 people sized groups, large party sizes will be quite squished. I came at opening time 12pm. By 12:10pm , the entire restaurant was filled. Only one - two waiter for the entire restaurant, the service can be a bit slow or you can flag them down.

No reservations taken. Came on Thursday for dinner. The greeter took my number and told me approximately 10-15 minutes. And yeah sure enough it was roughly that time. It's a small cozy place with cartoons and Thai verbiage on the walls. Tight spaces, but it was alright. The food was delicious! It was enough for myself. The dessert was just right and that's it. That was dinner. Called it a night. Will come back again !!!!!

A nice addition to thai food scene in Toronto. This restaurant mainly focuses on noodles bowls with a few items for appetizers. We went on a Tuesday night and had to wait about 30 mins. I got the lemon pork noodles in size small which was quite a decent portion. The broth was lemony and refreshing, and the bowl was loaded up with noodles and protein. It was exactly what I needed on a cold winter night. Would definitely come back to try other noodles. The restaurant is quite small and tight. I wish they have more waiting space as it's too cold to wait outside.

The Tom yum soup tastes soooo good. It's not that spicy, I like the sour taste. Really authentic!

Just came out of the gym, passed by this restaurant, thought I gave it a try! And boy did it not disappoint! The flavours were bold and tasty! However their portion size is a smaller than anticipated. Servers were nice, they recommended the boat noodles. So I got the beef with rice noodles and I also order a pandan longan juice. Would definitely come back here again to try other things on the menu.

Excellent noodle soups. Wait time can be long so come prepared to wait. Had boat noodles, lemon pork and the seafood one. Boat noodle and lemon pork are by far the best. Seafood one is good too. Would definitely come back.

Ordered takeout - beef boat noodles. Flavor was decent with a good amount of noodles. Big problem is they didn't give enough soup, so by the time it was reheated, all the soup was soaked into the noodles. It was not a good experiencing trying to have a noodle soup with no soup. The braised beef was also kind of dry. Probably will not try again.

The boat noodles were definitely my favorite--such a flavorful broth, and the spice level was just perfect for me. The servers were really attentive and gave great recommendations, which made the experience even better. The place isn't too big, but it has a really cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.
