Khao San Road

This is my second time at Khao San Road, and honestly, this place never disappoints. We arrived on a Saturday night around 8:45 p.m. with a group of five, and it was incredibly packed. It took about 15-20 minutes for our host to attend to us, and in the meantime, we tried speaking to a staff member who seemed flustered. They pointed us to a sign that told us to wait for a host. We tried to be patient, as the place was jam-packed, and we could tell the servers were running around. However, I feel like they should have multiple hosts during such rush hours. Apart from the service, the food was immaculate. Unfortunately, the Pad Kee Mao and Pad Sew Ew were sold out, but we tried most of their popular dishes. The Khao Soi was 10/10; it was so rich and flavorful, one of the best I’ve had. The Green Curry was 7.5/10; it was a very popular dish, but it had a very strong, distinctive taste. The Three Flavour Pad Thai was 10/10; I tried Thai spice, and if you can handle spice, this was incredible. The Bangkok Style Pad Thai was 9.5/10; I don’t have anything to say badly about it, but I definitely preferred the Three Flavour Pad Thai. All the dishes were amazing; you truly can’t go wrong!

Went here last month for the first time! The decoration and overall design of the restaurant are really nice. What surprised me most was when I went upstairs to the washroom, there’s actually a huge space that seems to open at certain times as a bar. There’s a bartender, a full bar counter, and the vibe completely shifts from bright and sunny to a darker atmosphere with purple LED lights!!!Prefect for a late-night bar feel! For the food, it was pretty good overall. The fried shrimp was very crispy. I tried the green curry (can’t remember the exact name), and the sauce was tasty, though the chicken was a little dry and the curry more liquidy than I personally prefer (I usually like a thicker version). The other rice were really good, though! The only dish I didn’t enjoy was the white soup. It had a sour-salty flavor combination that doesn’t sit well with me, and it even gave me a bit of a stomach ache. That’s just a personal taste thing, not the restaurant’s fault. If you enjoy those kinds of flavors, you might love it, but I wouldn’t order it again myself. Definitely coming back to try the desserts!

PAI for those who don’t want to have to reserve a month in advance. I’ve been to both several times and I’ll be honest, they’re on the same level. Prices are reasonable and flavors are great. Expect 30 min plus line during weekend evenings, but there’s a cozy bar upstairs where you can wait. Service was good overall. Perfect to catch up with friends. Special shout-out to the green curry, the table favorite. We wanted to order more rice just to make the curry last a little longer.

I had an amazing dinner here, let’s just say the flavours hit the right spot. Loved the Garlic Chicken (it was so tender and fresh - perfect starter) , Green curry fried rice and we also had the three flavours pad Thai which was yummy and crunchy too.

Wow. No words to describe how delicious this place is. We came on a Tuesday for lunch not expecting it to be that busy, there was a lineup at the door. They ended up getting us in so quickly it was unfathomable. The service was top-notch, the food was exactly like in Thailand. Our server Ploy K was super accommodating and very friendly. She talked to us about the menu options and give us some suggestions. She followed up at least four times throughout our meal and was very fast with responding. This place is my favorite Thai place in Toronto for sure! If I could get them 10 Stars I would

The food was delicious! You could choose your protein and spice level which was great. The service was very fast! The only thing that we wish was different would be a wider variety of drink options.

Food is really really good, I went on Saturday evening, got seats on the bar, but the usual wait was 25 mins. It was raining so bit crazy, but we were greeted and seated right away, the servers are really friendly and happy. We chatted despite being busy. We were super full but I was really craving for soup as it was raining. Got tom yum and three spice pad Thai. We couldn’t finish both, because we were full but really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and company. Def come back!!

Wanted some vegan Thai with no onion and garlic. Was recommended this place. Parking is public. Nice place decent seating. Staff is nice. We had a vegan menu with 4 items all really nice in taste asked for medium and it came medium.
