Let's start with the good. I'd give 4-5 stars for the food The food is excellent! We had the green curry, deep fried tofu and mango salad. Shared between 2 and it was really good 3 stars went to ambiance. It was freezing in there and an alarm kept going off when we were there. We went for lunch and there was only 1 person to serve. So they were running around doing take out and I'd say service was lacking. 2-3 stars for service. Also 1 star for not having a lunch menu. Who doesn't have a lunch menu!!! Overall I'd order their food again but maybe that is the secret - take out!! It was busier for that.
Revisited the restaurant again and still love their food! We had the beef paid thai which was delicious , tom yum, chicken satay that was also flavorful but slightly dry. For drinks we ordered their white sangria and took advantage of their free milk tea promo. The staff was really po)lite, but didn't know how long the milk tea promo would last- you could get a free drink during your meal if you promise to post and tag them on Instagram!
My friends and I came here on a rainy evening after a fun group date at Snakes and Lattes just down the street. We shared the shrimp pad see ew, green curry with tofu, and spring rolls. Imm Thai probably is one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever had in Toronto - so tasty and so flavourful. It was also enough food for us three. Would definitely recommend!
We thought we would try a new Thai restaurant, and we werent dissapointed. We really enjoyed this place. We started with the crispy fish app which was delicious. Lovely light and crispy fish, spicy dipping sauce, nice. Next we had basil chicken and crispy beef. We had both dobe at medium spice and we actually wished we had gone for mild! But still even being a little hot for our taste they were really good. The basil chicken is my gogo dish at Thai restaurants that I sue to test them out and they have nailed it here, really delsicous dish, wonderful flavours and balance. The crisoy beef was also good, quite sweet but wonderfully crispy. On the whole we really like this spot and will be coming back I'm sure they have many lovely dishes. Service was also very good, super friendly and efficient.
May not seem like much from the outside, but once you step in you have got great food and drinks at your table. There are large portions of food (or maybe my party of 2 ordered too much) but everything was delicious. Leftovers were also delicious. We had great recommendations and presentation was also beautiful. It does get packed quickly so definitely recommend getting reservations. The mango salad was really refreshing. We ordered another appetizer, the sweet potato fries and it was just a spiral of sweet potato. It was so crispy and I'd get that again, even though my mouth hurt after eating it for a bit LOL.
We have eaten here many times during the pandemic and we really enjoy it. OUR FAVOURITE DISHES ARE: THE STIR-FRY's: The Mixed vegetable stir fry with an additional protein choice and the garlic stir fry with protein and no spice. Both dishes have a similar sauce but they are delicious and they are served with a side of rice. Together both meals come with enough food to fill two people up. Cashew Nut Stir-fry: The cashew nut stir-fry is good but the mixed vegetable and garlic stir fry listed above have a much better flavour and are my top choices at this restaurant. THE CURRIES: On one of our early visits to the restaurant we ordered two curries and they were not the best. On their website they state they sell the best Thai curry in Toronto. I found this to be one of the worst Thai curries I have had. I don't recommend the curry. It didn't have a lot of substance and contained mostly sauce. GREEN MANGO SALAD: The green mango salad is delicious and presented beautifully when you order it in the restaurant. I definitely recommend this appetizer. PLEASE NOTE: If you order shrimp, you only get 3 pieces as your protein choice. In my opinion, the shrimp isn't worth it. Would I Return? Absolutely!
I passed by this restaurant on my way to another store in the neighborhood a few months back. The smell of food peaked my curiosity, so I noted down its name and searched on Yelp to read more about it. I was happy to read that the majority of the Yelpers gave good reviews- now I had to go and try the food! A few days before Friday afternoon, my friend and I made a reservation online. Then on Friday, we came in for lunch. A young lady greeted us and led us to our table. She gave us the menu and brought two glasses of cold water. She gave us a few minutes, so that we can decide what to order. The place was decorated beautifully, the walls were covered with tropical-themed artworks. The lighting fixtures were cool and modern. On the menu, a lot of the items looked so good! I ordered Tom Yum Pad Thai (most popular item) with tofu. My friend ordered Famous Pad Thai with chicken. Each item came out hot and fresh! It was presented beautifully as well. I've never tried Tom Yum Pad Thai before, I didn't know what to expect. It was lightly spicy- the noodles were cooked to perfection, the vegetables were cooked well, and the roasted peanuts provided crunchiness to the meal. My friend said she enjoyed her Famous Pad Thai- it was delicious! During our meal, our friendly waitress came by a few times to check-in on us and to refill our water. We felt that we were well taken care of. If you're looking for a new place to try that has great food and friendly service, come to this place! You won't be disappointed!
Imm Thai is apparently well known for their pad thai, but their real highlight is the Malay Curry - naturally spicy already and warned by the waitress, I tried the mild spice version and it was spectacular. The flavour on the chicken was mouth savouring and I would reorder that exact dish again! The pad thai was okay. The mango sticky rice for dessert was also spectacular visually and taste wise. The rice is warm so it isn't the typical cool and chilled dessert meal you would imagine. Interior was dimmed and pleasant for an evening night dinner. Give this spot a try!
IMM Thai is part of the family of Thai restauraunts that include the Chiang Mai locations. This location is in Little Italy downtown Toronto with a nice patio, and within the restauraunt a combination of fairy lights and lamps make this a great place for a date. I'd gone with a large group prior to the indoor dining lockdown so we tried a bunch of dishes off their massive menu. For appetizers we had the Larb Chicken Wings, Springrolls, Satay Chicken Skewers and Oysters. The chicken wings had a crispy skin outside and scallions on top served on a banana leaf. The chicken skewers were 3 massive pieces of chicken which could have been a main course. The oysters, with fresh and came with 3 different sauces. For the main dishes we tried the Tom Yum Fried Rice, Malay Chicken Curry, Tom Yum Pad Thai with Lobster and Khao Soi. All the mains were delicious and had very authentic Thai flavor and taste. Hard to decide what my favorite dish was overall because none of them were bad choices. Probably the Lobster Pad Thai, because authentic Pad Thai taste much different then what 90% of Pad Thai tastes like in North America, and the Khao Soi because the hard boiled egg was cooked perfectly with the broth a bit spicy but not overpowering. For dessert there was two types of cake we tried. The raspberry greek yogurt and the caramel carrot cheesecake. Typically cheesecake is standard cheesecake with flavored topping on top. This was the first time ever I'd had cheesecake that looked as good as it tasted. IMM Thai mixes flavored cake within the creamcheese batter with flavored purees to make this gorgeous marble texture slices. The taste matches and the flavor is the perfect finish to any meal. The staff were very attentive, and although I'm not aware of what drinks the people in my party ordered, they were served quickly and the presentation was great.
I've been doing an unofficial tour of some of the best Thai restaurants in Toronto and IMM Thai was the latest stop. It's a relatively small place in Toronto's Little Italy with a cozy sidewalk patio, intimate lighting, and great tasting authentic Thai food! We had some popular Thai dishes and some of the restaurant's specialties. Our starters included Larb Chicken Wings, Tom Yum Chicken Wings, Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay Skewers, and Fresh Oysters. All yummy! Our mains included Tom Yum Pad Thai w/Lobster, Tom Yum Fried Rice, Pad See Ew w/Beef, Pad Kee Maw w/Chicken, Khao Soi w/Chicken, Massaman Curry w/Beef, and Malay Curry w/Chicken. The lobster is one of the house specialties and was thoroughly enjoyed by my dining companions. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to most shellfish and couldn't have this. I did, however, taste the noodles and they were delicious! The Malay Curry with Chicken had quite a kick to it, which I didn't mind. Delicious! I was getting full but I had to try everything. It was all delicious! After our meal (and packing up leftovers), we were so stuffed but we got a couple of slices of cake for sharing. Oh geez, gotta loosen my belt now. The Raspberry Greek Yogurt Cheesecake and Caramel Carrot Cheesecake were a great finish to our meal. They both had a nice texture and weren't too sweet. In addition to our fantastic meal, we enjoyed some refreshing cocktails and Singha beer. In addition to the beer, I had a White Wine Sangria with lychee. What makes great food even better? Great service, of course! The staff here did not disappoint. They were very friendly and attentive, making our evening even more enjoyable!
Visited on a chilly Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was just half full. Ordered khao soi and a drink and it was exactly the way I remember it pre-pandemic! Attentive staff, fast service, and big portions. What more can a hungry lady ask for? Honestly don't think this is on par with Pai or Khao San Road but I think it's a solid establishment in Little Italy. Also love the ambience and vibe of the place. Will visit again!
FREE Thai milk tea when you check-in on yelp! Grabbed lunch with a friend on a Saturday. It was surprisingly not busy at all. Read a lot of reviews saying its a small location and it could get busy on the weekends. Its located on College Street, so there is paid street parking in the front or street parking in the neighborhoods if you dont mind walking a little bit. What we ordered: - Free Thai ice tea - Shrimp chips - Tong Yum Chicken wings - Fish Cakes - Shrimp Pad Thai - Pad Ka Pow I loved those shrimp chips with that sauce on the side. It has some intense flavors. Tong Yum wings you dont find everywhere, so i recommend getting those too! The spiciness was on point too! If you like spicy like me, you wont be disappointed :)
The server was super friendly from the moment I walked in until we left. You could tell she genuinely enjoyed her job and interacting with customers. There's an offer of Thai ice tea once you check in on yelp so make sure you do so. I've never had it before so I wasn't sure if I'd liked it or not but it was so good. The shrimp chips that my friend ordered were much better than ones I've had at chinese restaurants. The sauce on the side was a nice sweet accompaniment. I'm glad the Penang curry that I had was flavourful and not spicy. My friend's dish was spicy and the sauce on the side was even spicier. Beware if you can't handle spice. With my friend's dish there's a few protein options and she went all fancy with lobster. We were both stuffed but somehow found room for coconut cream with sticky rice for dessert. It was so delicious. The sticky rice was warm and went well with the cold ice cream.

A touch on the prodey side but really not bad at all, especially when compared to other similar restaurants in the area. Good selection on the menu without being overwhelming, and a decent mix of things as well. Taste was good as well. Really liked the curry pad Thai, but wasn't thrilled with the holy basil. read more

I was in the area when I tried the fish store sandwiches, and I love Thai so I had to try this Jace, I got the pad kee Mao, the service was quick and efficient and I saw they gave me a ten percent discount and I didn't even pay cash, that's very nice of them. 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. read more

Having been to MANY Thai restaurants in and around Toronto, as well as around the GTA, it's safe to say that Imm Thai Kitchen is the BEST and has become my favourite Thai restaurant in Toronto. Everything from the food (taste, portion size, quality and freshness of the ingredients, authentic-ness) to service (friendliness of the staff, speed at which food comes out) is excellent. Not to mention that all the dishes are beautifully plated and presented. We were served a complementary plate of shrimp chips on the house. The shrimp chips were a great accompaniment to the flavourful, saucy noodle and rice dishes. Mango Salad - I loved the slightly crunchy and fresh green mango slices mixed with cilantro, red pepper, red onion, and crushed peanuts. The presentation was very pretty too. Pad Thai with Lobster - We were able to substitute the shrimps with lobster, yet the Pad Thai still came with pieces of shrimps and tofu which was awesome. Best Pad Thai in the city. Very flavourful, great balance of ingredients (ratio of noodles to protein & veggies). It came with crunchy raw bean sprouts and an egg crepe. Pad Puk with Shrimps - This stir-fried vegetables dish came with white rice and good amount of large tiger shrimps. The vegetables included broccoli, bell peppers, carrot, cabbage, onion, eggplant, and spiralled beets. Very yummy and good amount of vegetables. Pad See Ew with Tofu & Vegetables (Vegetarian) - LOVED this dish... our favourite dish of the night. The rice noodles absorbed the flavour of the sauce really well, and it came with nice extra firm tofu and good amount of vegetables (including one my favourite Asian greens, yu choy). We will definitely make a return visit! read more

Imm Thai? More like IMM OBSESSED. So glad my family & I stopped by for lunch here and tried so many dishes. TIP#1: FREE drink/iced tea with a Yelp check-in OR take a pic & tag them on social media. TIP#2: If you can handle spicy, let them know and they'll crank it up with some homemade fried garlic chilli on the side. Not only was the food authentic and flavourful, it was presented beautifully with flower-carved veggies! The warm service and modern rustic atmosphere made this such an enjoyable dining experience as well. //THE FOOD// THAI ICED TEA (5/5) - they nailed the balance of tea and creamy condensed milk that characterizes Thai ice tea! It came in a cute mason jar mug too. LAAP TOD (5/5)- essentially Thai pork meatballs with a unique blend of lemongrass seasonings. Eat this with the slivers of ginger & onion to make the flavours pop! SHRIMP CHIPS (5/5) - my grandma used to make this (very popular in SE Asia) and Imm Thai did this justice! It tasted like they used real shrimp, sweet, and super crisp from being freshly fried. My family & I were fighting over the divine sweet shrimp paste chilli that it came with haha! FISH CAKES (3.5/5)- the transparent sweet spicy in-house sauce it came with was delicious. Otherwise the fish cakes weren't too standout flavour-wise. PAPAYA SALAD (4/5) - apparently their specialty because the chef is from northern Thailand. It was sweet and sour with medium spicyness. TOM YUM PAD THAI with lobster (4/5) -Loved this take on the classic pad Thai with the sour Tom yum sauce. The shrimp was good, but I found the lobster more on the rubbery side. PENANG CURRY with chicken (5/5) - looked small, but don't underestimate how full you'll be. The curry was thick and sweet. It came with a cute pyramid of rice too. KHAO SOI (4/5) - is richer than what I've had in the past and a bit more sour than the Penang curry. Attention to detail on the plating is immaculate. //SERVICE & AMBIANCE// The dark wood finishes and modern Thai decorations gave a higher class feeling from other Thai places I've been to. I noticed details like the cool light fixtures, bright & large windows, and cute succulents. The server was very friendly, asked what spicy level we preferred, and gave awesome recommendations! //OVERALL// Whether I'm craving Thai on a casual day or more of a special occasion, I would definitely come back again to enjoy the classy space and delicious food! Maybe next time I'll have room to try their desserts too :) read more
Imm Thai Kitchen should be renamed Yumm Thai Kitchen! I've had my fair share of Thai over the past three decades. I'm not going to go into all the various ones, however, recently it was EAT BKK and now Imm Thai Kitchen. Thursday night at Imm should be date night. Nothing can compare to the rich wood furniture with accents from their homeland. Beautiful benches flank both sides of the walls, and a wall to wall bar welcomes you to enjoy the night away. Half price wines by the glass or bottle doesn't hurt either. Shortly after 6PM, the quaint restaurant starts to fill up with hungry patrons. Foodies, first timers, expert travelers, all congregate into a mélange of conversations heard and overheard. Photos taken at every chance, quiet conversation by those who are on their first dates, more certain and confident tones from those who know each other well. Warm lightning provides glows on faces that enhances date night. Thai food here is elevated with more flavor and kick than a lot of contenders. I can go down the list of thing that I shared with my friends, but that would make for a long review and no one wants that...right? I take your silence as encouragement to continue. :D The FUUD - yes this is how I am going to spell food when it's off the charts! - was beautifully prepared, plated, and presented. We enjoyed the Laap Tod, Papaya Salad, Lobster Khao Soi, Pad See Ew, Pad Ka Pao, and Lobster Tom Yum Pad Thai. We also had thai ice tea, dessert, and took advantage of the wine special. I hope I have the items right, must do justice for a fine meal. For those who know what the dishes are, you are going to be IMM for a treat - see what I did there?...clever me....self high-five! ;) Though everything was fantastic, I usually like to PULL one dish out (you have to see the photos to get this reference) as my fav of the night...The Lobster Khao Soi! Egg Noodles drenched in their homemade golden curry with Lobster and crispy noodles. As a...dare I admit it?...a newbie-ish foodie?...I am always impressed with the inventive and delicious presentations made available to us on a minute-by-minute basis. IMM has to impress as they are located on the ever changing landscape of gastronomic glory that is Little Italy and the College Steet Scene. Another great find on my never ending need to impress my taste buds and satisfy my hunger for new flavours. Great company, great fuud, great service, and a great place. Happy weekend everyone! CHEERS!!! read more

If you want Authentic Thai food, look no further than Imm Thai Kitchen. I went with a group of 4 on a Thursday evening. We were seated right away and were brought the menu. We started off with delicious Thai Iced tea that wasn't overly sweet and had that strong Thai Iced tea flavour that makes it delicious. Growing up with Thai food was always amazing, so when I get the taste of my childhood I knew it would be great! They even do a cool twist of one of my favourite dishes "Laap" which is a minced meat salad that you eat with herbs like mint, cucumbers and lettuce. Their version is the same great flavours but deep fried to perfection in the form of a meatball which I found very unique and cool! I love the hint of spice and the hit of lemongrass flavour that comes with every bite. Of course you gotta have the famous Papaya Salad and this place presents it beautifully in a mortar and pestle. This salad is perfectly seasoned with the right kinda heat and was one of my favourites with the crunchy green papaya, pieces of Thai String bean, and juicy pieces of tomatoes. As for mains we got the Lobster Khao Soi - egg noodle in homemade Golden curry with crispy noodles. This dish was rich, creamy and very flavourful. Great textures between the noodles in the sauce and the crispy noodles that you break into the sauce. A big hit at the table which shows since it was the first dish to be devoured. Pad See Ew - stir fried fresh rice noodles with Thai sweet soy sauce and Chinese broccoli. I love the wide noodles in this dish also a table favourite. Lobster Tom Yum Pad Thai - signature Tom Yum flavour pad Thai with fresh Thai herbs. I really enjoyed the salty, sour and sweet flavour of these noodles. The texture of the noodles were perfect and wasn't drenched in sauce which I appreciate. I dislike soggy, soft noodles. Pad Ka Pao - stir fried Thai holy basil with minced pork (or chicken), with a sunny side up egg. This dish has quite a kick but so darn delicious especially with that spicy chili sauce that accompanies it. If you can handle the heat drizzle some over your meat and you're good! For desserts we got Thai mango sticky rice, Thai Iced tea ice cream and coconut ice cream. The mango sticky rice was beautifully presented and mangoes were delicious and ripe with a tasty drizzle of a sweet coconut sauce on top of a bed of sticky coconut rice. The coconut ice cream tasted freshly made using real coconut and garnished with pumpkin pieces on top. I appreciate that they don't cut corners and use artificial flavourings for their ice creams because I love the taste of the real thing. The Thai Iced tea was stronger in taste which I enjoyed more but the coconut ice cream was still delicious. I will definitely be coming back here again or ordering delivery from UberEats. The first time I actually had Imm Thai was actually delivery and everything tasted delicious but nothing beats eating it at the restaurant served straight out of the kitchen! I love this place, it's my new go to Thai restaurant in the city! read more
What's better than pad thai? Lobster pad thai! This cozy spot in the West end is known for their signature tom yum pad thai filled generously with shrimp and topped with a lobster tail. And it was as delicious as it sounds! Full of flavor and well portioned. We also had the crispy fish, which is marinated in beer batter and deep fried, it was so crispy and flaky and the sweet and spicy dipping sauce on the side was a great compliment. We also had a small single serving of the chicken tom yum soup, which was pretty good but average. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was their chicken satay skewers since the meat was dry and the marinating sauce was lacking flavor. But overall a great experience and I would check them out again and try the rest of their dishes! read more

This isn't a neighbourhood I frequent, but I'm so glad a friend recommended this place for lunch. First of all, I love how they've decorated the interior - there are cute succulents on the tables, geometric lights, and interesting artwork. We were immediately drawn to the lunch special - you get an entree and two sides for just $11.99. I chose the Pad Ka Gao (stir fried Thai holy basil with minced chicken and a sunny side up egg) with spring rolls and tom yum soup. The soup was a bit too spicy for my liking, but everything else was delicious. You can see the portions from the pictures but I thought this deal was extremely worth it. There was one waiter manning the restaurant and he was incredibly attentive. He also let us know that we could get a non-alcoholic drink for free if we posted a photo of our meal on social media. I would love to come back for dinner and try their Lobster Tom Yum Pad Thai. Overall, a top-notch lunch. read more
My friend and I ended up here by googling 'Thai restaurants near me' and we couldn't have been luckier. We stopped for dinner before a show and were just looking to eat something, anything, before we went. And then we went on to discover our new favourite spot for Thai food. We shared the shrimp rolls and pad ki maw (with veggies). We each got a tom yum soup, one with chicken and the other with tofu and veggies. The crispiness of the shrimp rolls and the sweet sauce hit the spot. The tom yum soup was just the right amount of spice for those who like mild spicy, if you're a person who prefers something completely mild and devoid of any heat I'd avoid this dish. If you want spicer you can always ask for more chillies on the side. I've never had pad ki maw, I'm usually more of a thinner noddle girl, but this surprised me. I was scared that the noddles would be too soft, but they were perfectly cooked and (of course) seasoned. The veggies were crisp and the spice rating was true. I'm a spicy girl so it was a 10 for me! The staff was so polite, sweet, and accommodating. The prices were reasonable as well. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Great food, great service, very clean, nice decor. The lunch specials are also great and have such a good deal! The only thing I would change is that I wish the pad Thai was hot. It felt already cold when it arrived but the taste was good. Also very generous portions read more

Walked in hungry and caught the lunch special. Food: I ordered the pork pad ka pao which came with purple rice. My friend got the chicken pad thai. The serving size looked small but ended up being filling. Both dishes deserve a thumbs up! They put effort in presentation of their dishes. Service & atmosphere: This restaurant looked like it is family run, the staff were courteous. The decor around the restaurant embodied Thai culture. Price: The lunch specials are a great deal! read more
Once you walked inside Imm Thai Kitchen, the staff welcome you like you're walking into their own homes. The place is warm and cozy in every sense, plenty of natural light and soft soothing music. Tastefully decorated with dark leather chairs and matching wooden tables/walls plus various traditional Thai pieces and arts completes the perfect layout of this restaurant. In every table you will also find air plants and succulents in their cute containers. Chef/Owner Mo and Joey our server, are super friendly and the nicest people you've ever met. They treat you more like a family/friend and not a customer. And OMG - the food, presentation, taste, and quality reminds us so much of the delicious food we had in Bangkok. Actually in all honesty we told Chef Mo that her food tasted even better! To start, we had the Tom Yum Soup with Shrimps ($8.95) - very authentic and just the right level of sourness. You can tell they didn't skimp on the herbs and ingredients. It was loaded with tomatoes, enoki mushrooms, galangal, kaffir lime leaves and coriander. One of the best Tom Yum soup we've ever tried! Panang Chicken Curry ($11.99) - One of their Lunch specials and you have the option to choose between soup or spring rolls. We chose the spring rolls and they give you 2 huge pieces. It also comes with a purple rice in conical form, so unique in presentation! The Panang Chicken Curry is so rich, creamy and spicy and the addition of kaffir lime leaves and panang curry paste gives it a distinctly unique flavour. Tom Yum Lobster Pad Thai ($23.95) - We were so excited to try this dish since the only time we tried Tom Yum dishes (i.e. Tom Yum Seafood Fried Rice, Tom Yum Pad Thai) is when we were in Bangkok and we love them so much. Imm Thai's Tom Yum Pad Thai comes with two big pieces of lobster tail on top of a delicious spicy rice noodle. And since we love anything Tom Yum, this dish is a winner for us. Muu Haeng (Sun Dried Pork) - this dish is not even on the menu but Chef Mo wants us to try it and we absolutely loved it. It consists of thinly sliced sweet/salty pork and is similar to a jerk meat and has a chewy texture. It goes well with the sticky rice. Thai Iced Tea - of all the Thai Iced Tea we've ever tasted, this is probably the best one we've tried. Chef Mo confirmed that she only imports the best Thai iced tea from Thailand which explains why it's so good. Homemade Coconut Ice Cream - One of the best Thai street food we've ever tried is the Coconut Ice Cream with sticky rice because of its simplicity but exotic flavour. When we mentioned this to Chef Mo, she mentioned that they make homemade coconut ice cream with sticky rice in the restaurant. We don't normally order dessert when we eat outside but I intentionally didn't finish my food and have it packed so I can have dessert. All I can say is WOW - you gotta try their homemade ice cream especially the coconut ice cream with peanuts and green sticky rice coz it's MIND BLOWING! So stop contemplating and just go try Imm Thai Kitchen if you want authentic Thai food. This is definitely a 5 star place for the food, quality, price and value. Without hesitation, we will come back AGAIN and will recommend this place to families and friends! read more

One of the better Thai restaurants in Toronto! Definitely worth a try. Khao soi and pad Thai were delicious with huge portions that were enough to bring back home for leftovers. read more
