    Literally the best Thai food in the city. Arguably better than Pai. Which is pretty high up there! Good service, portion sized are excellent, spice levels fantastic. Great place to dine and eat with friends or if you're grabbing takeout.

    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.

    Fresh rolls, pretty good

    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

    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.

    Khao San

    I recently discovered this gem for Thai cusine and I'm in love. It's a cute little restaurant with flavourful authentic Thai dishes. I tried out their Khao San which is a soup and noodles based dish which was amazing!! Everything was on point, from flavours, service and ambiance.

    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.

    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

    I'm back two years later and food is just as good, if not better. I ordered the Khao soi and I'm was in heaven from the first sip. The server was efficient and friendly despite how busy they are. I still highly recommend this place.

    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.

    Garlic Chicken
    Mia H.

    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.

    Squash Fritters
    Kunalan S.

    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.

    Pad see ew
    Maggie D.

    LOVE the food here. My favourites as someone who cannot handle a lot of spice are the pad see ew and the green curry fried rice. There are no reservations, be prepared for long waits to be seated but food comes pretty quickly after ordering.

    Bangkok-style Pad Thai (~CAD$22) with Beef (+CAD$1.50)
    Aya E.

    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!

    My favorite Thai food place in Toronto!! Came on a Saturday night and expected a long line, but…read morethey said it was going to be a 30-45 minute wait for a party of 6. We actually got called in around 20 minutes though, which was great. They asked us if we were okay with a shared/communal table, so maybe that's why it was faster, but the shared tables are not bad at all. We ended up getting seated right in front of the TV while a FIFA game was going on, so the vibes were great. The staff were also super friendly and would stop by to watch and chat for bits at a time. Every time I come, I always order the pad thai and the khao soi. The pad thai is amazing and not too sweet or sour. The khao soi was also delicious and the braised beef was so tender. For drinks, I ordered the Thai iced tea, which is a little on the sweeter side, but was great once the ice melted a little bit. Overall great food, great vibes, would definitely come back!!

The curry and the soup each come with rice served in a leaf. Although we were full, we ordered the mango sticky rice because it was highly recommended, It was excellent, because the mango was ripe. We waited 35 minutes to be seated and were told the expected time. Once we ordered, the food arrived promptly, water was refilled frequently, dirty plates were removed to make room for dishes. This restaurant is a popular spot with a well deserved reputation. All guests had a good time. Definitely would return.

    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!

Unfortunately, the day took an unexpected turn when I had to go to the hospital, and for a while I thought I wouldn't make it at all. As a testament to both the kindness of my friends and the exceptional staff at Lao Lao, they were able to accommodate us even though I arrived nearly two hours late on a busy Saturday evening. Originally, our table was only reserved until 8:00 p.m.--the exact time I finally arrived. Thankfully, with the help of our incredible server, Savanna N., everything worked out. Her professionalism, warmth, and willingness to help truly made the evening possible. More than anything, I hoped the wait would be worthwhile for my friends, who were visiting for the first time. I'm happy to say they absolutely loved it--especially the outstanding hospitality and customer service. A huge thank you to Savanna and the entire team for making us feel so welcome. As for the food, every dish was delicious. Nothing disappointed. The papaya salad was such a hit that we ordered it twice. The Beef Massaman Curry, Crispy Lao Spiced Chips, Banana Leaf Steamed Fish, and the seasonal Vermicelli Noodle in Chicken Coconut Red Curry were all exceptional. Although it had been about a year since my last visit, I was delighted to see that Lao Lao remains consistently excellent in its food, quality, and service. Bravo!

I eat pad Thai in every city I visit and this may be the best yet since I first had pad Thai in college many many years ago. Been chasing that epic pad Thai for years and think I finally found it. Amazing depth of flavor. Partner got the Islamic noodles, which he thought were excellent as well, rich flavor and very well made. Would happily eat again. The only issue I had which made me knock off a star is that the glass and silverware had an odd scent, like the smell your glasses have if there's food stuck in your dishwasher filter -- if you know that scent you know what I mean. Just smelled funky and honestly the smell was ruining the taste (smell and taste are so closely linked) so I drank out of my own water bottle I had brought and grabbed a plastic fork to eat with which did solve the issue but still...less than ideal
