For many in our party of five, this was their first meal in Toronto (it was my first dinner). Most…read moreof them said this really set the bar high for meals in Toronto especially since we were going to Niagara the next day and they expected mediocre touristy food. We ordered the tapioca dumplings, papaya fritters, beef massaman curry, nam khao, drunken noodles w chicken, mok pa, and watermelon salad. Overall I think the food was good although some items were a skip (drunken noodles and watermelon salad). For a cheaper price I've had more delicious drunken noodles, these were just fine. The watermelon salad was literally cut watermelon lol please. However, the rest of the food was really good. My top three items were the tapioca dumplings, nam khao, and beef massaman curry, in that order. I have had delicious tapioca dumplings in Madison, WI and have been chasing those item for years now and this really delivered. I love nam khao and have had various versions - this isn't the best I've had (I had a phenomenal one in Chicago) but it was still sooooo good. Beef massaman curry exceeded my (low/neutral) expectations. Service was incredible, the waitress was so nice and helpful. It is a fun decor in there as well and so much bigger than I thought it would be (tbf I didn't have a specific expectation, but it does have many rooms).

I'm definitely coming back here!…read more We ordered the Tapioca dumplings, the beef messemen curry, and the mango and purple sticky rice. Wow! It was all so tasty. The tapioca dumplings are unlike anything I've tasted before. They serve it with a side of lettuce, mint and peanuts. I liked the dumplings better without the sides they served! The lettuce and other add ons dim the flavors of the dumplings. So I prefer just eating the dumplings straight on. The Messemen curry was so flavorful and the beef was so tender! I'm a big fan. If you're a fan of Thai curries then you'll definitely like this! The Mango purple sticky rice dessert was also really tasty! It had a tasty coconut sorbet and it all went really well together. Service was good, food came out quickly, vibes were good. No complaints here!

It's hard to find Laotian food in the GTA, so I was excited to see this place. Sadly this is not…read morethe Laotian food I am looking for - stick to Lao Thai further south. They get 2.5 stars. Despite a sign saying 3 items for $9.99 and 2 for $8.99, no items were available to be selected - it seems everything is cooked to order. I asked for something more Laotian rather than Thai or Vietnamese as most of the menu seems to be. The lady suggested egg noodles or shanghai noodles, saying they had Laotian flavour. Got egg noodles with shrimp ($2 more than with chicken or beef). They tasted OK. They had a generic Chinese taste.

I came to Lao Food Co. after seeing it on Instagram. We…read morecame right at the opening for weekend brunch, and there was no waiting on the weekend. There are four tables with four seats each. Reservations accepted. We ordered tapioca pearl dumplings, crispy fried rice, coffee, and soy milk with grass jelly. The tapioca pearl dumplings filled with chicken, radish and peanuts came in five and were really delicious. The coconut crispy rice was made with crispy rice, cured pork, herbs and peanuts. We loved the texture and taste of the dish - it was very refreshing with the lettuce wrap, and combined with the house-made chilli sauce, elevated it. After these two dishes, we were full and took some coconut crispy rice home. Service was quick and friendly. Chef Dao came out to speak to us after our meal, and we could see the passion and love they put into each dish. Amazing Laos food is popping up in Toronto, and this is one of those spots. Lao Food Co also offers a monthly supper club, which is a three-course prixe fixe meal - which we plan on going to in the future. The restaurant is only open on weekends. Overall, we are excited to try this neighbourhood gem and would encourage others to try delicious Laotian food at Lao Food Co. Accessibility: two steps to the restaurant, no automatic door opener, sizeable individual washroom. Neighbourhood street parking, and some public transportation options.

But very friendly. I really liked the fried chicken and the curry. Chicken was so juicy and perfectly fried. The sausage wasn't for me, there was also vegetable mixed in? The chicken Lao pad Thai was a bit too salty, more fish sauce used? Than regular pad Thais, which I'm not used to. The curry was amazing, the flavour had so much depth. The shrimp rolls were okay, deep fried well but nothing special. The nam kao, the rice was crispy but sadly I asked for no cilantro but there was so much in it, I couldn't eat it. All in all, the fried chicken was the best and will def come back for it with the fried rice next time!

The Souk Gai soup was unique, tangy, and refreshing. I have been to Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. I have also had my fair share of those cuisines in Toronto. But Toronto doesn't have enough representation of Lao food. This restaurant seems to be a great representative of Lao food in Toronto. Ambiance is decent and service is great. I look forward to having it again!

Service is a hit or miss, while all the staff are polite and friendly, sometimes it's hard to get their attention, especially when things start to pick up. The restaurant is not big, but around lunch time gets pretty busy. It's a comfortable space, nothing fancy. We ordered the pad see ew and khao soi. Pad see ew was good, had nice flavours. Though it didnt come with the traditional large wide noodles. The khao soi was good as well, though again, had mixed canto fried noodles as the topping. Overall a good place to grab a quick bite.

Service was very quick and we were seated right away on a weekday night - wasn't busy at all - servers were friendly and made suggestions on what to order. The red chick curry was average at best, found the chicken on the dryer side of things. Pad Thai was also pretty average to me , nothing really stood out. Had Tom Yum soup as well, that was pretty tasty and had a nice spice kick to it (not pictured - as I forgot) Pricing and portions seemed fair - not sure if this was the best Thai in Toronto area, but I definitely have some better go to's in Vancouver. Overall, it's worth a try - however, I'd probably try something else next time, since I'm not local.

The noodles were cooked perfectly so soft and a nice chew, the beef was cooked perfectly and you mix their chilli sauce with it, the taste is divine. The ambiance looked very elegant, the waitress was very friendly, and the paad kee mao was probably the best paad kee mao i ever tasted even I would say better than khao san rao. The portion size is huge, me and wife shared, I ordered it medium which had a fair bit of spice to it. If you mix it with the chilli sauce they give you, the taste is out of this world. I would love to come here again and try their other wonderful dishes.
