Really enjoyed this place! Super cute restaurant and great portion sizes. Service was really fast, you place your order on your QR code and they come with your food. Pad Thai was good and flavourful. A very safe choice and definitely one of my comfort foods!
I like the seafood risotto, albeit a bit pricey (20 bucks). HOWEVER, the green chillies thing they put on top of the risotto completely grossed me out and I couldn't finish the dish as a result.
We unexpectedly ending up trying this Hong Kong Thai fusion spot while in the Yonge and Finch area. I ordered the laksa, while my friend got a baked rice. The service was decent, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. While I didn't really get the sense that anything was particularly super authentic or fusion, the food still tasted good, and the decor inside reflected the fusion theme!
Been meaning to check out Grandpa Thai for some time now and was pleasantly surprised at this lil gem. With a great Thai menu, and selection of various items, it's worth a try. Food - ordered the Laksa seafood and subbed out the shrimp for more tofu (just a preference), and it was amazing! Loved the soup base, rice noodles and toppings were fresh, and flavourful! Service - attentive, and was able to confirm with them our order prior to it being processed to the kitchen. Helpful with any menu questions. Overall would def check out other Thai menu items. Super excited and happy I found such a great spot!
I have been told the fried rice here is fried very well, but I haven't personally tried it. My friend had the seafood risotto which was basically rice in curry sauce. The pad thai is more ketchup-based and very sweet, which is not bad, but definitely not "authentic" tasting. That being said, it is a fusion restaurant so that's to be expected. I enjoyed the banana and condensed milk roti as the roti was very flaky. I would probably try one of their savoury rotis in the future. The table next to us had durian puffs which smelled very strongly of durian so I might give those a go next time too. The decor is cute but simple (the tables have nice artwork on them and they put little flags in your food with their logo). The restaurant itself is small (typical Yonge St sizing) so it got full during lunch hour but no one seemed to have to wait long for a table. Overall the food was decent and priced accordingly. I would come back to try other dishes.
Pretty good fusion thai hong kong cafe. Stopped by for dinner and got: - Tom Yum Seafood Rice: Creamy and strong tom yum taste. Would have liked a bit more seafood. - Lemongrass Grilled Fish: Tasty and huge serving size! - Deep Fried Durian Ball: A bit oily but loved the durian filling. - Coconut Milk Pudding: Soothing end after all the heat in the meal. Service is quick and perfunctory. Place is colorfully decorated. Prices are ok-ish, with a discount if you pay with cash. Grandpa seems very popular as it was packed when we were there.
If you're looking for authentic that food, you will be disappointed. However if you're down try something new, this place is great. Even though the food isn't traditional, it's also not the typical Americanized Asian food either. This venue offers a nice fusion twist to their dishes. Pro: 10% cash discount!
A good spot for HK x Thai fusion food. Here's what we ordered: * D03 TomYum Seafood Risotto Rice - 9/10 * D11 Thai Style Crispy Pork Belly - 6.5/10 (had a couple bites where the chili was too concentrated and intense for my liking) * J01 Thai Iced Milk Red Tea - 7/10 * J13 House Special Cafe - 8/10 Total came to about $58. Pro tip: 10% off if you pay in cash!! Servers are friendly and quick. Diner-style tables, good for small groups (2-6 people) Modern interior with LED signs inside, very instagrammable. Green P parking close by.
I saw a lot of online content creators review this place. Therefore, I decided to give it a try. - This place is busy and far away from the Green P parking lot, unless you choose to park on the street. - Excellent staff service for a café / diner-style restaurant. - Most of the food I ordered did not taste like Thai food except for the green mango salad and Thai iced milk tea. - I am not sure does the Thai coconut chicken hot pot is Thai or Chinese food, as it does not taste like either. - All the food does not taste bad at all but it does not look too appetizing, maybe it is due to the colour of their restaurant lighting. If you are near this area and want something new, then it may be worth a try.
Grandpa Thai is your unique place to get some HK food and Thai fusion food. This concept works surprisingly well and I enjoyed the dishes I ordered. I ordered the Thai Green Curry with Rice and I also tried the Laksa seafood soup. The green curry was delicious! I loved it and finished the whole thing! The laksa was good too but the curry rice was better. The service interaction was minimal but prompt. I didn't have to wait too long to get anything but it's also a small place. The ambiance is cool. The decor reminded me of a cool and hip Thai restaurant. Overall, an interesting place to check out!
Love have dinner at this place as the atmosphere n service was great. Ordered my usualy favourites mango salad, pad thai, thai teas... ordered a new spring roll ( shrimp meat), lettuce wrap, coconut ice cream pineapple bun and mango sticky rice
This restaurant is very popular in the weekend. The shop opened at noon by 12:30pm it is full on Sat. As it is fusion Thai , yes, it is cushion and food is pretty good. I like pad Thai (fried noodle) and pig neck stir fried. The coconut seafood in noodle is average. I got a free cushion Thai - milk tea when I post the restaurant picture in IG . Also on a Sat, they provide shrimp chip for free! It's a casual restaurant and average dish is $15-24. The waiter / waitress are very nice and polite.
Honestly this place is pretty decent. Their basil fried pork are extremely tasty, not dry not too oily. Also their green curry and fried tofu are must try. Service was on point and they served the food extremely fast .
I really wanted to like this place because I love HK cafe and Thai food. Unfortunately it was disappointing. I had the tom yum risotto the flavours were good but it was really weird to me how they used jasmine rice. It literally reminded me of a white bowl of rice mixed with sauce... I wasn't sure how I felt about it. The shrimp wasn't well prepared - very rubbery and not deveined. I also got the chicken pad thai.It's not the authentic pad thai you would expect - more ketchup side but I didn't mind it. The portions were outrageously small for $20 though. Not a lot of chicken either. read more
We've been meaning to check this place out and tonight was the night with the boys at grandma & grandpas! The menu is quite extensive but after asking for some advice and fan favourites, I ended up with the Tom yum seafood "risotto" and the hubs got the Green curry baked cheese with chicken cutlet. First off, the baked curry was okay... not a lot of green curry sauce. The chicken was fine. Not really a dish that wow'd us too much. The Tom Yum Seafood risotto was very tasty and flavourful. I was told it was a fan favourite so I was very intrigued. Sadly, upon arrival, it could have used a better presentation - they put it on a big flat plate so it looked...kinda gross. Secondly, they didn't use Arborio rice. I get that that would've taken a lot longer to make but using regular rice was a disappointment. But after a taste, I was definitely wow'd by the flavour. I quite enjoyed it, despite the rice. Not sure we're going to be in a hurry to come back but it's worth a try! read more
Review is for takeout. We got a red curry beef with a side of roti, spicy eggplant, pad thai and the basil minced pork chili rice. Each dish was absolutely delicious, even with the takeout lag and containers. The dishes are a nice fusion of thai and hong kong items. I liked that we could get both from the same place! Looking forward to eating in the restaurant next time. read more

Did you know Toronto has a Thai HK cafe? Yep - HK cafe dishes with a Thai twist to them! I've never seen this type of fusion before so I was definitely intrigued. We tried: - Fried Chicken Cutlet sizzling plate with Thai red curry sauce - Laksa noodles - Deep Fried Seafood (Crab, Shrimp, Taro) Net Spring Rolls - these were phenomenal, texture is similar to the taro ball dimsum where it's coated by a flaky and fragile net of crispiness. Definitely my favourite! - Thai Soy House Special - Jelly, dessert tofu, sago and mochi balls with a pot of cold thai iced milk tea to pour on top! A light Asian dessert soup, definitely recommend sharing this - Taro Ice Cream Pineapple bun - perfect combination of cold taro ice cream enveloped by a warm pineapple bun read more

I was intrigued by the promise of a Thai/HK Cafe fusion so we made a visit to Grandpa Thai around 7pm on a Monday night. It's a small space but the food comes out fast so the tables turn quickly and we only had to wait 10 minutes or so. There is a QR code on the door for you to add your name to the waitlist. We ordered: - Lemongrass Grilled Fish - this dish included sweet and sour sauce and two fishes (a good amount for 3 people) - Chicken Fried Rice - solid fried rice with good texture - Thai Coconut Chicken Hot Pot - this came in a cute mini pot and is a good alternative to their other hot pot dish as the coconut makes it slightly less spicy. - Mango Sticky Rice - unlike traditional mango sticky rice, this came with coconut ice cream and sago! 10/10! All in all, a great spot near Yonge and Finch! Just be aware that 90% of their dishes are marked spicy so if you can't handle spice, this might not be your place. read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Vibe 5/5 Check out my TikTok #SpiritedLaway for some video action New spot near Yonge and Finch that offers a mix of Hong Kong Style Cafe 茶餐厅 and Thai fusion dishes. Not gonna lie, even though they revamp, it still kinda reminds me of Mabu IYKYK~ i would say each person would spend roughly 15-25 dollar, which i think its quite average for food in North York. Food I personally loved it. Even though some dishes gives u a fusion touch they still tasted delish! I have always love that sizzling hotplate, and it is as made to perfection (i just wish they had black pepper sauce lol) Overall , great experience great food! 5/5 read more
Our group of 4 was actually in the neighborhood to visit another restaurant nearby, but the wait at that place was too long and moving slowly so when we saw Grandpa Thai was opening soon, we decided to change our plan. We ended up being the first group to enter when they opened. There was another group that came in near the end of our meal and some who came in and out for takeout on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Upon being seated (they said we could sit wherever we want), we were immediately brought iced cold water and told that we could scan the QR code to place our order - super easy. The decor of this place is really cute! It has a unique aesthetic that's very vibrant and customized to Grandpa Thai. They even put little branded toothpick flags on many of their dishes for presentation. Even their chopsticks are light blue to match their theme. To keep the energy up, they have pop music playing but at a volume at which you can still converse at your table and be heard. We ended up ordering their Laksa-Style Seafood Noodle Soup With Rice Noodles. This was a good level of spicy for us, with a very flavorful broth. The rice noodles were a little on the harder side, but not bad. I think maybe instant noodles would have been better, as they would have soaked up the broth more too. There was a good amount of seafood to pair. I personally preferred the Thai Red Curry With Rice, which was thick, with fragrant herbs, and a good kick! The chicken was very tender and the skin was so crispy - so good. Lastly, we also got the Caramel Cookie French Toast which was really enjoyable, full of Biscoff flavor and not too sweet. When you cut down the middle, milk literally oozes out which was really neat and offered up a different experience from just eating the edges. The topping was also interesting because they had spots made similar to the top of a pineapple bun (bolo bao). I will caution you that most of their menu is spicy! Service was friendly and the server was really attentive, automatically bringing us bowls, plates, and utensils to share our dishes, without needing us to ask. Overall, the place was clean. The chairs were metal patio-style chairs which weren't the most comfortable though, which is my main "complaint". Because of the smooth texture, you slide back on the chair, but if you sit back, you're too far from the table and/or leaning back oddly. read more
Really cute place south of Yonge and Finch. We were drawn by the bright and colourful decor. Food was served fairly quick and we both enjoyed the dishes that we had. Both were medium spicy which I really liked. I am rating them 5 stars as overall it was a great experience and I have a few things that I would like to mention as I felt these were things they could easily improve on. I had the curry pad thai which was delicious. It was a little too salty so I used up the limes I was given and asked for a few more until it suited my taste. My husband got their new shrimp glass noodle dish and I saw they they did not take the shrimp intestine out. My husband didnt mind it though but some folks might. Again, overall a 5 star experience. read more
Service: 3/5 Food: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 We ordered spring rolls, pork belly plate and pad Thai. As a few people have already said, this place is not authentic Thai cuisine but they're labeled as a fusion restaurant and thats what they do. I loved the pork belly, really nice and crispy, not too harsh on the flavours. The pad Thai was my partner's favourite since it was just the right flavour and the portion size wasn't bad for the price. The only thing was probably the spice needed to be spicier (but I'm a crazy spice eater so take that with a grain of salt) The spring roll was nice and crispy. The atmosphere was cute, loved the cute drawings on the tables. The staff interaction was not much at all but the people were friendly enough. Definitely recommend if you want your try something out of the box. read more
A Thai fusion HK cafe near Yonge and Finch (south of Finch on Yonge). This is not a big place, about a dozen or so tables so it will fill up quickly. We stopped by for a late lunch and was able to get a table right away. The menu has a lot of traditional Thai dishes (pad Thai, red and green curries) but with a HK diner influence ie baked chicken on rice (or spaghetti) but instead of tomato sauce you have the choice of red or green curry. Chopsticks and napkins are on the table and sharing plates, bowls etc are brought after you order. I love the metal! We really enjoyed our meal. The red curry baked chicken had a nice layer of cheese on top. The pad Thai was excellent, nice big pieces of chicken and noodles were a good consistency, not clumpy or soggy. The sauce contains peanuts though so if you have an allergy they won't be able to substitute. You will just have to order something else. The Thai ice tea is considered a favourite but I would also recommend the cafe pho. Service was good. We did have a nut allergy at the table and I was impressed at the follow-up to let me know that the kitchen was making sure nothing else had ground peanuts in it. Water comes in a jug with a slice of lemon and was replaced without us asking when they saw us nearing empty. All in all a great experience. Definitely worth a second visit! read more
What a neat concept to serve fusion Thai-Hong Kong food. That's a first for me! I came by for lunch and ordered the Thai Style Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice and the Chicken Pad Thai. Overall, the food was quite tasty! They've got good "wok hei" and both dishes were deliciously infused with all of the characteristics you would expect from authentic Thai food - spicy, sweet, sour, and salty (a bit too spicy for me, actually)! I especially loved that the aroma and flavour of their basil really came through in the fried rice, so that was my preferred dish of the two. I felt that the portions were fair but a tad pricey for such carb-heavy dishes with not a lot of protein. Each dish was $18, which sadly seems to be the going rate for Thai food in this area these days. I came on a weekday so I was seated comfortably but I imagine that there may be a long queue on the weekends since the restaurant is a bit small and only has about 7-8 tables. I'd be interested to come back in the future and try their other dishes. read more
This HK and Thai fusion restaurant is so good! I don't think they take reservations but we came here on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get a table for seven people right away. This is similar to "yeah yeah Thai" restaurant downtown as they had some of the same menu items. After we sat down we got complimentary shrimp chips which were so crispy. Everything we tried was super tasty and the waiter even came by a few times to help us with the menu. I loved the neon light fixtures on the walls! read more
Went at 2pm on a Sunday and wasn't packed at all. Nice place to chill and grab a casual bite, plays nice music and seating is decently comfy, but not the comfiest. Pad Krapow was not too shabby, meat was very flavourful and nothing to complain about. I did not enjoy the assorted cutlet as much because the pork chop was slightly dry and the meats weren't nothing to write home about. Still good tho. Deep fried taro veggie tastes like what you would get at dim sum. 7/10 read more

This is a HK Thai fusion restaurant located close to yonge and finch. This is a combination of two if my favourite Asian cuisines, so I know I needed to give this a try. 3.5/5 - I got the baked cheese chicken cutlet with green Thai sauce on rice. I was quite excited to try this combination but felt it just slightly missed the mark. The cutlet chicken was delicious and good balance of the cheese, but the green thai sauce I felt was a missed as it didn't have that spicy flavour I was looking for. Additionally they left some herbs that weren't ateable, which made it harder to enjoy each bite. 4/5 atmosphere- I really like the decor they have and gives a really good vibe when you're there. Certainly catered to be more instagramable friendly. 5/5 seevice - No complaints on the service as our waitress was really friendly and made sure we were satisfied. They had a promo of free Thai milk tea if you post on Instagram and we had no issues to redeeming it. She even gave me the drink before posting. Overall I would recommend giving this place a try. It is more HK cafe flavour than Thai in my opinion, but still taste pretty delicious. I will come back again. read more

Unique fusion food , A+ recommended ! Drinks and food are awesome New fresh different styles of food ! read more
A new spot I just discovered! It's a Thai HK cafe and the flavours are out of this world! Fair warning, their dishes do have a bit of a kick to it (which is necessary for Thai food). We tried their baked Thai Red Curry Spaghetti w/ Pork Chops and it was sooo good. We also tried the pork with lettuce wrap and it had a really nice smokey charcoal taste to it. Highly recommended. Finished off with a Biscoff Lava french toast. Sweet but not tooooooooo sweet. Was a perfect dessert to end off the meal. read more
Don't come here with expectations of authentic Thai. It is super fusioned. Food is mediocre but service was good. My favorite dish I would recommend during this trip was the Thai pork bone soup. The least favorite was the dessert. I had ordered the mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream. Coconut ice cream was very flavorful but the sticky rice was very disappointing. Unfortunately, it tasted very mushy and not sticky - very hard to describe with words. However, if you had this authentic dessert before, you would be able to understand the texture. Anyways, I'm not sure of the high rating given to this restaurant but I guess if I was in the area, I might come back for the soup. read more

Passed by this many times and finally my mom told me she saw it on a blogger and rated very good. So I shall try. Being from HK cbc but love Thai food background this surprisingly worked. Definitely not authentic but the soup flavour was sooo good. It had all the toppings I love in a bowl of hk cafe noodle - pork balls , viet ham, tofu puff , squid and nice chew chicken. I was impressed with the Amt of herbs they used in a bowl of "instant noodles" definitely think it's a nissin brand noodles if my taste buds r right. I spotted fried Thai basil, chilli, lemon grass , bamboo shoots , green onion , onion , large slices of bamboo. And then I got a Thai milk tea to go, which the size wasn't too bad for 5$ . Definitely come back and try the other dishes on their menu read more

Wonderful fusion place that gives a great vibe. The combination of Thai and Hk cuisine just pairs really well and I'll say a little bit of Italian too! Got the Tom yum risotto, it was one of the best risotto i had and that's coming from a former Italian Chef taste buds! The thai iced tea was spot on and the pad kha pow lettuce wrap was a refreshing touch to the heavier risotto. Overall would recommend to others and I'll be back with friends and relatives to enjoy more of their extensive menu! read more
