    Unfortunately I didn't get to snap many pictures, but had a pleasant experience at this place. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I assure you it is much nicer on the inside. Parking is a bit of a pain however. As for the restaurant itself, it was very clean and tidy inside. I was quite impressed with the attentiveness of the staff there and also how speedy the service was. We did not wait very long to get our food, however it was definitely still very fresh. Seems like it's run by a family. The food itself was very tasteful. You could tell it was actually authentic. The portions or just a tad small on some of the dishes in my opinion, for what they were priced at. But not too much of an issue. All in all, would definitely keep this in mind for future visits and for recommendations.

    Mango curry
    A Y.

    Split review - food 3 stars; decor and service +1star Someone in our group wanted Thai food, so trusty Yelp led us here. We ordered a few things to share communal style. The most delicious item was the mango curry. The plating looked pretty, too. It was rich in flavours, creamy, had a great texture and loaded with ingredients. If I return, this would be the one thing I would re-order. The appetizer platter was okay per the price. Out of the 2 desserts we ordered, the mango with sticky rice was the better one. Or specifically the sticky rice stood out; the mango was as good as it got for winter season. The interior was nice: clean, quiet, tasteful, with a few artsy pieces. It even smelt clean and crisp. The services was polite, welcoming, attentive, effective.

    Interior looks recently renovated with skylights!

    Parking: Paid parallel in front OR Green P right around the back of restaurant! In terms of authentic Thai, this is as good as it gets in the West-end! There's another VERY popular place more North in Mississauga, but having eaten there recently, I prefer this place. The other "popular" location's dishes are much, much sweeter. Menu is concise and clear, waitstaff were polite, and food came rather quickly after ordering. There was a complete page of curries - which do not come with rice. I ordered the Tamarind Curry as I've never seen it before on other menus. It was good! Instead of the white onion, I wished that there were some bamboo shoots in the dish. I wasn't able to eat the entire dish as although it looked like one portion, the curry sauce itself was a rather rich! I tasted the Pad Thai and noodles were nicely cooked, taste was spot-on! Average prices were in/around $15. Solid choice for the area!

    Red curry!

    Amazing! I can confidently say that this is my all time favourite place for Thai food. I've been here already twice and I'm still obsessed with this place. You definitely need to give this place a try if you're in the area! What I've tried and my thoughts on them: - Red curry - probably my favourite dish. I've ordered this twice so far and I absolutely love it. The curry sauce is the perfect consistency and spice level and it pairs so well with any of the meat options in my opinion. - Khao Soi - love. Very filling and has a good combination of textures. The crunchy wonton(?) noodles work well with the saucy rice noodles. - Pad thai - classic. The dish is very good here and is quite authentic. You can request to have the dish served in an egg omelette. - Mango curry - very unique but tasty. My friend ordered this and I tried some and was quite impressed with the taste. It's nothing too sweet - it has a good balance of sweetness and savoury. Get this if you want to try something different. They also have other sweet curries for those who are adventurous (pineapple, lychee) - Thai iced tea - so good! You can't not have one of these with your meal, trust me. - Mango sticky rice - another classic. Perfect for sharing with everyone. Most dishes do not come with rice, so you would have to order it separately on the side for a few dollars. They serve white jasmine rice and brown rice. All the dishes are served on really nice plates so be careful when handling them.

    Lemongrass soup noodles with chicken
    Lornia C.

    The BEST Thai place I've ever been to. I've never been to a Thai restaurant and thought, "Oh my god, I have to come back!", until this place. The pineapple fried rice is just the right amount of fragrant and savoury. The pad thai was the best I've had out of all the Thai places I've tried. Lastly, my lemongrass soup noodle was super satisfying, as the soup had plenty of lime and lemongrass flavour in it, to make it tangy and delightful. The Thai iced tea and Thai coffee were also delicious. The place is family run, and serves authentic Thai food. I can't recommend it enough.

    I love this place so much. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is always amazing. They have the best mango salad ever!!! The Tom Kha is super delicious. Every entree I've tried has been excellent I come here all the time with family and friends and every has loved it.

    This place is great! Perfect for a quick authentic thai dinner. We had the vegetarian pad thai and green curry with rice. Everything came hot and fresh. Service was amazing! Definitely recommend.

You order at the counter, get a number, and food comes over when it's ready. Super casual, super easy. I'm in town for work and came here twice already. The Wild Turmeric wellness drink was similar to golden milk. I also tried the tomato, feta, and avocado toast and it was as fresh as it gets. The peach collagen spritzer was light, refreshing, and went perfectly with the toast. The real surprise was the wellness broth. It's kind of like drinking a savory latte, if that makes sense. Mine had chicken broth, coconut milk, ginger, lime, turmeric, chaga, lion's mane, and a bunch of other good-for-you ingredients. It tasted like health, but in a really satisfying way. The space is clean and modern. The staff are friendly and super helpful, especially if you're not sure what to try. Definitely a great spot for a quick, healthy meal that doesn't feel like a compromise

There is ample seating for you to enjoy your purchases. Upon entering, there are 4 kiosks, however, they were not available for use just yet. Walking up to the counter, I scanned the menu and opted for a bowl of chicken noodle soup. With each soup option you are able to choose between a baguette side or an apple. There were also pastries on display which were tempting as well. Scanning the menu even further, there are many soup options to choose from which will be perfect for the cold winter months. Service was fast and efficient. My soup order was completed in a few minutes and I picked it up from the window. I enjoyed my soup 10 min later. The soup was hot and comforting. The baguette was crispy on the outside soft on the inside, great for dipping in the soup. Overall, a decent option in the College/Spadina area for soup, perfect for those upcoming cold winter days.
