This was my first time at Khao San Road, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered Pad Thai and curry, and the flavors were quite authentic Thai, with a good balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy--not an overly modified taste. The portions were decent, and the presentation was quite appetizing. The atmosphere inside was lively and a little crowded, but that actually gave it a more Southeast Asian street food vibe. Service was okay, but you might have to wait a bit during peak hours. Overall, it's a Thai restaurant I would definitely visit again. read more

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. It was very busy, but we were able to get a table after a short wait. Food: I ordered the garlic tofu to start. It was breaded in panko and was very good! For my entree, I ordered the tofu/veggie panang curry. This was surprisingly not as liquid as I was expecting. However, it was very good! Service: Service was friendly but a tad slow. They were quite busy though, so it was understandable. Our server was busy running around the entire time we were there. TL;DR - good food and reasonably slower service when busy. read more

Finally got to visit Khao San Road!! I liked the ambiance of this place, as it was nice and cozy! The service was fast and friendly as well. I ordered the Khao Soi and we also tried the Bangkok Style Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. All the dishes quantity was alot. From the pictures online, it looked like it would not be filling, but it was just right. All the main dishes were $21.75. The Khao Soi was super creamy and you can choose your protein and spice level! They didn't skimp out on the protein, the bowl was loaded. It was so creamy that it became alittle too rich for me at the end. I think if I visit next time, I would opt to try another dish. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place with decent pricing, quantity, and friendly service! read more

Very rich, green curry, not much spice even tho I ordered level 6. nice Thai milk tea, a little too sweet for my taste however. read more

Recently came back here for dinner with friends. And still confident to say a solid spot for Thai food. I tried their squash fritters for the first time and they were really good. Crispy and flavourful, with a tangy flavour dipped in their plum sauce. It's a great stater to share with everyone at the table. I got the pad see ew again with chicken this time. The medium spice level gave a good kick to it. I love how fresh the rice noodles are. I'd easily get this again many day. My friends got the curry and the pad thai and they both really enjoyed their meal. No reservations allowed but we came on a weekday around 7pm and were able to get a table on the patio right away. The patio chairs weren't very comfortable but we made do. read more

Came back again recently with a friend who told me that the Pad See Ew here is amazing. He was right! The best i've had! Delicious, and the spice was on point (chose a level slightly over medium? Not the highest. And was a great kick for my spice-loving self). Great ambiance, buzz, customer service as always read more

PAI for those who don't want to have to reserve a month in advance. I've been to both several times and I'll be honest, they're on the same level. Prices are reasonable and flavors are great. Expect 30 min plus line during weekend evenings, but there's a cozy bar upstairs where you can wait. Service was good overall. Perfect to catch up with friends. Special shout-out to the green curry, the table favorite. We wanted to order more rice just to make the curry last a little longer. read more

Dont let their plating fool you, the plates and bowls are pretty much bottomless. Ordered their pad thai and the portion appeared normal just like any other places you'd get a pad thai from but digging in you realize there's a massive amount! Big back here and I could not finish the pas thai (first time!). Good taste, quick service, the space is actually huge once you turn around the corner. Not accessible friendly if you're on a scooter. read more

7 Years Later & Still #1 - Khao San Road is THE Thai GOAT! Revisiting After 7 Years | Still Our Family's #1 Spot Time flies, tastes evolve, new Thai restaurants pop up across the GTA... but one thing hasn't changed: Khao San Road still reigns supreme. Consistency is key, and they have mastered it. A Restaurant That Grew With Us My daughter literally grew up on their rice--and to this day, she refuses to eat it from anywhere else. That's the magic of Khao San Road--a place that has stayed reliable, authentic, and delicious no matter how many times we visit. What Keeps Us Coming Back? Their curries are still unbeatable. My husband swears by their red curry, and while I used to be a green curry fan, I've now shifted to Penang curry--though let's be honest, I'm here for the noodles! Thai Iced Tea - The Best in the City! Just the right balance of sweetness and strength--a must-order every time. Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Gar Pao - Unmatched Flavors! Every noodle and rice dish stands out from the crowd--flavorful, rich, and a cut above the rest. Khao Soi - Still a Showstopper! The creamy, bold flavors of Khao Soi keep it a must-try dish every time we visit. Three Menus: Regular, Vegan & Gluten-Free. A great option for different dietary needs! Room for Improvement - More Vegetarian & Vegan Options? Tom Yum Soup Needs a Veg Version! My husband raves about their Tom Yum, but it has shrimp, so as a vegetarian, I still can't try it. KSR, please make this happen! The Ultimate Pregnancy Craving Spot! When I was pregnant with my first, we used to drive 70km just to have their Pad Thai (which they customized to be pregnancy-friendly with no sprouts, etc.). Now, my kiddo loves their food too--start 'em young, right? (Even from the belly! ) The ONLY Thing That Would Make It Better? Reservations! We drive from Brampton, and the long queues have sent us back more than once. Maybe a reservation system with a small cover charge would help? Final Verdict: 100+ Visits & Still Our Favorite Thai Spot! There may be plenty of new Thai places in the GTA, but nothing beats Khao San Road. After 7 years and 100+ visits, it's still our family's #1. Returning? LOL, always! Just take my money already. #KhaoSanRoadTO #ThaiFoodDoneRight #GTAEats #PadThaiPerfection #FamilyFavorite #FoodieAdventures #BestThaiInToronto read more

Khao San Road never disappoints! The food is flavorful and authentic, offering a great taste of Thailand right in the heart of Toronto. The service is friendly, with staff who are always eager to make you feel at home. The ambiance is lively and cozy, making it the perfect spot for both a casual meal or a night out with friends. Highly recommend trying the Pad Thai! read more

Khao San Road serves solid Thai food. The portions are large, the ambiance is nice, and the service is quick and efficient. I like how you can customize each dish with your choice of protein. There's sometimes daily specials as well. The only con is I found it a bit salty, but I think that's just outside food. I recommend any of the curries and the fritters. There is a good amount of seating (~30+ people) but it does get busy fast. The washrooms are upstairs and so is their sister restaurant/bar. read more

I came here for dinner with two of my girl friends and we had a great time! There was a bit of a wait when we went, so if you can, be sure to book reservations! The inside of the restaurant is lively and fun, but space can be a bit tight. Service was very friendly and quick. My friends and I ordered the garlic chicken appetizer, khao soi, and bangkok style pad thai. The entrees were a huge portion and the three of us were able to share two entrees and still have left-overs. Everything was phenomenal, with strong fragrant flavors and good textures. Loved this Thai spot and I highly recommend! Next time, I would love to try out their bar and their bar food. read more

Mediocre food and experience. They were playing 2010's pop music the entire time, which I enjoy but it was a bit too loud. Squash Fritters: I absolutely adore fritters, and its my goto starter at most thai places. But i found them to be a bit overfried. They also served it with a sweet-and-sour sauce, while I prefer something spicier with my fritters. Overall meh. Three Flavours Pad Thai: Good pad thai. Nothing to write home about, but no complaints. Khao Soi: A very boring khao soi. The broth lacked depth and the beef was very boring. It was braised, but had a chewy almost stringy texture. read more

Ordered: Bangkok-style Pad Thai (~CAD$22) with Beef (+CAD$1.50): rice noodles, tamarind, egg, tofu, bean sprout, pickled radish, shallot, chives, dried shrimp, fish sauce, fresh roasted peanuts, lime Khao Soi with Chicken (~CAD$22): egg noodles, golden curry, coconut milk, crispy noodles, scallions, coriander, lime Aya's take: We were in the downtown Toronto area and decided to stop by for a quick lunch before they closed. We arrived around 2:15pm and were seated right away. It's a pretty cute place and I immediately noticed the colorful walls. Now onto the food! Both dishes we got were amazing. The Bangkok-style Pad Thai was super unique; it was like a pad thai and pad see ew had a baby. The rice noodles were cooked perfectly, the bean sprouts and onions were fresh, and the peanuts were crunchy. I loved the bits of tofu in it and the added beef went so well with the dish. The Khao Soi was a big contrast because its milder flavors. From the sweetness of the coconut milk to the aromatics from the golden curry to the crispy noodles on top, this dish came together so beautifully. Both dishes really hit the spot and were great for sharing. Highly recommend trying these signature dishes! read more

First time at @khaosanroadto ! Long overdue if I may say so Came here on a weekday evening and boy the place was packed! Luckily we still managed to get a seat and the service was pretty efficient too despite the huge crowd! We got the the Garlic Shrimp to start (not pictured because I devoured it oops), pretty much an elevated version of a coconut shrimp dish ‍ We got the Pad Thai with Pork and their famous Khao Soi noodles! Both are very huge in portions and the flavours were amazing, at almost $22 each it was a steal since I brought back leftovers enough for another meal! Definitely will visit again and on their website it seems like there's a speakeasy in the same building read more

This place has been around for a long time but I never got a chance to try it out as it is very busy and they don't take reservations. Food (4/5) - overall it was pretty solid. - Pad Thai was flavourful and had a good balance of ingredients cooked well. - Pad See Ew - not bad and cooked well but maybe a bit too sweet vs savoury. - Pad Gra Prao - interesting mix with the egg on top and flavourful beef. - Squash Fritters - thought they were pretty good and like the dipping sauce. Service (4/5) - our servers were hustling and food came pretty quickly. We only had to wait 10 mins to get a table of 4 but it was a Monday night. I've seen much longer waits on other nights so that's a challenge for sure. Atmosphere (3.5/5) - not much to it... pretty basic layout and furniture. L shaped configuration with tables spread all around. Parking can be tricky if weekends. Overall (4/5) - overall a solid place for hearty Thai food. Definitely above Salad King but I still think Thai Barn Na is stronger. read more

So, Khao San Road is kind of off the beaten path, but since you're in downtown Toronto, nothing is truly off the beaten path. The best way to describe this place is very unassuming. You walk in and it feels like a takeout counter--definitely no glitz and glamour here. So, it's all about the food and, of course, the service. The interior is oddly L-shaped, narrow, packed with people, and a little noisy. As you glance around, pretty much every table has an order of squash fritters as an appetizer. Naturally, we indulged in these tasty, crispy delicacies and made sure to get an order of the hot chilies on the side. This allowed us to dip the fritters in the provided sauce while adding some nice hot chili flavor. We ordered the pad thai, and I'll tell you, it's been a long time since I've had an excellent pad thai. I would rate this as the best I've had to date--perfectly balanced flavors, the right amount of texture, and the rice noodles were the perfect width. Phenomenal. We also had the pad gra prao (beef), but in comparison to the pad thai, it just couldn't hit the same level. I didn't really care for the texture of this dish, and it was a little too sweet for my taste. Cheers read more

I was staying at the hotel around the corner and wanted Thai food. This place came highly recommended in a wide search. And thankfully, it was conveniently located 700 feet from my hotel room. I went here on a Tuesday evening around 6 PM and it was packed. 12 people waiting to sit down, people entering and exiting for takeouts. Very busy restaurant. Thankfully, I was a solo traveler and was able to get a seat within a few minutes at the bar by myself, the service was fantastic. I always think sitting at the bar enhances a service experience at restaurants. For appetizer I had the fresh rolls which had a fantastic sauce to pair with them and garlic chicken. For dinner I had the Bangkok pad Thai. It was very flavorful. I would highly recommend this place. read more

My favourite pad thai in the entire city! So incredibly delicious. Crowded but worth it! ​

Finally got to try this spot, it was a 20 minute wait for a table of 3. The fried squash is a must-have and ended up being a favourite of the night. Papaya salad was good but nothing special. The pad see ew was unfortunately too sweet for my liking. The pad thai was quite flavourful and had a decent kick at medium spice. Finally, the panang curry was just a bit lacking for me. All things considered, I was a bit underwhelmed with the food. However, the servers were super nice and attentive. read more

It's been a while since I came here, keep in mind it's a pricey place, we ordered pad kee mao, green curry fried rice, khao soi, squash fritters, fried rice. The service was quick, waitress was attentive always filled our water when empty, this place is just as good as I tried it before. Starting with the squash fritters, crispy on outside and soft on the inside and with the sauce it's amazing. The khao soi with beef was so good, creamy with broth and coconut milk, noodles were cooked perfectly, beef was so tender, green curry fried rice was really good, I think that was my favourite, you get the strong green curry taste, chicken was tender, pad kee mao is my favourite Thai dish noodles were soft, beef was tender, I wish they gave a bit more, portion kinda small for the price they are charging but the food was really good I guess that's what counts. read more

Oh my Oh my! Deliciousness! We stopped by after a day downtown, and thankfully they were still open and had available seating. I can tell they're usually quite swamped so definitely try to make a reservation if you can. We started with the steak salad appetizer which was so good. Very well balanced between the steak and the herbs and fish sauce like dressing. I definitely crave this when I think about it now. We ordered the different pad thai's and honestly, I don't know which one I preferred. I liked the bankok style just as much as the usual pad thai. Chewy noodles with a delicious, fresh wok taste. Oh so good! The Khao Soi was also delicious. Very creamy and flavourful. The only thing I didn't love was the tom yum soup. It was very very salty for me, but I did love the flavours. 100% would want to return if we're ever in the area. We parked just around the corner where there's this little pay to park lot. It's not the most secure looking thing but it was fine enough. read more

My favorite Thai place in the city! I've been going here for years, and I've tried several dishes on the menu. All of them have exceed expectations, are fresh, and burst with flavor. The portion sizes are reasonable. My favourite dish is the pad see ew with beef. The dish has a balance of flavours - the meat is tender and the broccoli is crunchy. The restaurant does not take reservations, so if you intend to go in person, go early as there's always a lineup. The inside is quite cute, and the servers are very attentive. I've also had a good experience ordering pick-up, where they only take about 30 minutes to prepare your food. read more

Heard so much hype about this Thai place so I had to come try it out! I have pretty high standards when it comes to Thai food and this place did not disappoint! Their Thai iced tea was perfectly balanced between sweet and the natural tea flavour. Their Khao Soi was one of the best I've had. The curry was amazing - perfectly salty, spicy, and sweet. Not to mention, the portion size was amazing as well. The during dining service was great. I will say, I was disappointed with the pre dining service - we stood waiting for the host for 20 minutes. Despite all that, we were very pleased with our experience and will definitely recommend it! read more

Ordered takeout via UberEats and because the airbnb we stayed at was close by, the food still had steam. I've had a lot of Thai food but their pad thai sam roas three flavours pad thai was SO DAMN GOOD. It was familiar but a new take on the typical pad thai and from there on, I was hooked!

We got the green curry and the khao soi noodles. Both were super flavourful! The Khao soi noodles has such a delious coconutty broth that paired super well with the egg noodles. Also really liked that extra crunch the fried noodles on top added. Green curry was also very yummy! The bamboo shoot, green bell pepper, thai basil, fresh matruk lime leaf, coconut milk paired super well together. Service was super quick and generous! They checked up on us frequently to make sure everything was good. Bathroom is located upstairs on the second floor where the bar is (its another restaurant). Bathrooms were super clean! read more

The bits of basil were also so delicious and I wish there was more of it in the dish! Loved the frensh cucumber slices that came with it as well. Highly recommend. The food was prepared so quickly and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They're able to do a vegan pad thai and you can customize spice levels, so it's a great place to suit a variety of tastes!

Cute Thai spot in downtown Toronto! I got some Thai iced tea and the Khao Soi which was very tasty.
