Khao San Road

Just loved this place! Food was unbelievably good and the service was so lovely too! We tried a few different dishes with my group of 3 (which was awesome, because family style means I can try more food!). We got the green curry, Bangkok pad Thai and the pad gra prao. All the dishes were mouthwatering good. I couldn’t pick a favourite. Arrived at around 2pm, the staff welcomed us happily. We actually walked past the main entrance trying to find it and they popped out to check if we wanted to come in (I am so glad they did). They were so friendly, gave us great recommendations. The atmosphere was good, it wasn’t very busy so very easy to have a conversation. It feels like it would be a great vibe if it was full too. I can’t wait to return and try all their other dishes. Yum!!

This is it, fully satisfied my cravings 😋 The best Thai restaurant in GTA. We ordered 3 dishes for Saturday lunch: Bangkok pad thai, pad see uw, red curry. All dishes are very tasty!! Flavour well balanced: wok hey, sweet,sour, salty. We been to this restaurant multiple times, quality of food is consistently good! Definitely one of my fav restaurant ❤️ will come back again in near future.

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!

We had an incredible experience at Khao San Road! Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic Thai flavor and cooked to perfection. The Three Flavours Pad Thai and Pad See Ew were absolute standouts — perfectly balanced, rich, and deeply satisfying. The Papaya Salad was fresh and tangy (though I’d prefer it without the dried mini shrimp), and the Green Curry was delicious, just a touch sweeter than my personal taste — but still wonderfully aromatic and comforting. Beyond the amazing food, the service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and fast. It’s clear the team here takes pride in what they do. Definitely one of the best Thai spots in Toronto. We’ll be back soon!

I had lunch on Dec. 30, 2025 with my family. It was very busy and we had a short wait. The server was wonderful and took our order quickly. We ordered the Khao Soi, Gaeng Kaew Wan ( Green Curry) with chicken, 2 orders of Pad Thai Sam Rosa, also with chicken. Spice levels ranged from 0 (no spice) to 3 (spicy). The spice level goes to 11. We also ordered the Garlic chicken as a appetizer. The Garlic chicken had a panko crust which was crunchy and light. The dipping sauce was tasty with a touch of spice. I had the Khao Soi. The golden curry with coconut milk in came with was rich and creamy. I could drink it up. Mixed with the egg noodles it was flavorful and filling, great for a cold winter day. The restaurant was full and crowded and loud. It has a great lively vibe but a bit noisy. All in all great food, great service at a reasonable price. If you enjoy Thai food you need to try it.

One of the best thai places I have ever been to. I am in love with their khao soi. I really enjoyed all the dishes I ordered. Definitely try their thai iced tea. There is a wait time to get a table as the place is fully packed in the night so if you are going for dinner, plan it accordingly. The place has authentic feel too, but it is a bit noisy as it is crowded.

Khao San Road has been a long-standing pillar of great casual Thai dining in Toronto. As a patron who has followed their journey since their days on Adelaide, I can attest that the restaurant has managed to maintain remarkable consistency and quality in their food, even after relocating. The food here remains the star, delivering big, balanced flavours synonymous with authentic Thai street food. Garlic Chicken (9/10): An outstanding appetizer. The pieces of deep-fried chicken were perfectly executed, achieving a soft, juicy interior with a wonderfully crispy exterior. The addition of lemongrass and garlic was masterful, providing pronounced and aromatic flavours that were elevated further by the accompanying spicy and sweet dipping sauce. The portion size was generous for a starter. Three Flavour Pad Thai with Chicken (9/10): This main dish is a testament to the kitchen’s ability to balance complex flavours. The portion size was exceptionally huge. The tamarind and peanut notes were beautifully harmonized and not overly sweet or heavy. I opted for Level 3 spiciness, which I found to be quite intense, a good warning for those sensitive to heat! The one minor note was the absence of bean sprouts, which I felt slightly missed in the dish's texture profile. Overall, it remains a solid, high-quality Pad Thai. Service was great, attentive, and helpful. Our server, Nhi, deserves special mention. She was prompt in addressing and resolving a minor issue we had, demonstrating a genuine commitment to ensuring a positive dining experience. The atmosphere is casual, yet welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The only area requiring immediate attention is the second floor washroom facilities. While the rest of the experience was great, I noticed that some stalls were out of toilet paper and paper towels needed restocking. A little more vigilance in maintaining these facilities would complete the overall excellent dining experience. Khao San Road is a highly reliable and recommended destination for casual Thai fare. The food is consistently flavourful, the service is great, and the atmosphere is enjoyable. We will certainly continue to dine here and appreciate the quality and care that has been maintained over the years.

Came here on a Tuesday night at 8:45PM and we were able to get seated for 6 people immediately. I haven't been here in years and this place is still solid for Thai food. I got the Bangkok-style pad thai with chicken. I was surprised by how big the portion was. The pad thai also tasted more on the sweeter side, so I'm curious to try the three flavour pad thai next time. Overall it hit my thai food craving. Would recommend and come back.
