The food was very flavourful and spicy (at least for me). We had the Kor Moo Gaeng Kua $25.95 (coconut curry with pork jowl), the Braised Beef Mas Sa Man $22.95 (tamarind coconut red curry, peanut, and potato), Goong Moun $15.95 (tofu w/ shrimp spring roll) for appetizers, and a mango sticky rice for dessert. Both the coconut curry and tamarind coconut red curry have very rich, creamy, and flavourful sauces. We had the spice level mild for both dishes, but that was still too hot for me, personally. That has nothing wrong to do with the dishes, but just my personal tolerance level. The coconut curry was a treat to eat. The pork jowl was very gummy and chewy. There was also a fried, battered leaf in the dish to provide a crunchy texture to the dish. The tamarind curry was equally as good. The braised beef was a little sweet and tender. There are also nuts in the dish to provide that crunchy texture. The tofu spring rolls we ordered provided much needed relief from the spiciness of the curry dishes. I would have some spring rolls in between to help subside the spicy sensation of the chilis. The spring rolls was surprisingly filling. Our group of 2 was not able to finish all of the tofu rolls and had to take some home. We ended the dish with a delightful order of mango sticky rice. It was another order that helped counteract the the spicy, burning sensation my tongue was having. We appriciated the vibe and look of the place. There were properly thought out furnishings around the space and the walls. Service was also top tier. Our waiter was very patient explaning the dish description, the spice levels, and also saying how the dish is pronounced. read more

This was an amazing restaurant. The dishes tasted so good. It got rewarded from Michelin since 2022. When we called in around 2pm to reserve 6pm table, they were full, only have a spot at 5:30pm and dining time for 1.5 hours. They were pretty busy when we arrived around 5:45pm. And so many people waited outside for tables. We were lucky to book it in advanced. The server was so nice and patient to introduce the popular dishes to us. I couldn't tell by the name of the dish, but I remember what she told me the good ones. The App we ordered the shrimp rolls (Goong Moun $15.95). There were 4 big rolls. The meat was shrimp and port mixed, a little bit spicy and salty. You must dip the fish sweet sauce together, that would make it tasty and not that salty. The main we got a pork curry dish and Tom Yum beef mild (Leng Tom Yum $35.95). My little girl loved the beef without the Tom Yum sauce so much. But I liked the curry sauce more, however, there was no veggies in it. This one was a bit expensive (Kor Moo Gaeng Kua $25.95) with a few pieces of pork only. The 2 main dishes were both come with rice. We ended up with packing up the rice and the sauce home for another meal. It's really tasty meal, and we would definitely come back again for other dishes. read more

I have enjoying the new Thai restaurants that have been popping up in Toronto. This one is Michelin guide for their downtown location so we went with some friends to their Scarborough location. I was not expecting it to be inside an Asian mall (Splendid China) but parking was still plentiful. It was nice they had a big outside sign displaying the restaurant name so you know exactly which entrance to go into. This time we had taken a look at the menu to see their specialty dishes. We ordered their Gui chai tod (tapioca dumplings), Geow Goong (shrimp dumplings), and Goong Moun) (fried tofu skin rolls) as appetizers. Our favorites out of the appetizers were the Gui chai tod and the Goong Moun. The texture was nice of the Gui chai tod and the Goong moun had a good fiery kick but the vinegar sauce for dipping gave it a good balance. For the mains, we shared the crab fried rice, pad see ew, and Kor Moo Gaeng Kua (pork jowl curry). Out the mains, I really enjoyed the Kor Moo Gaeng Kua and the crab fried rice. The pork jowl was tender (though some pieces were fattening), the flavor and spice were great with the right amount of kick. I enjoyed the eggplant and betel leaf and fried garnish they put on the side. The crab fried rice also had some good flavor to it. All in all, we were quite happy with the dishes we ordered as the flavors complimented each other and service was top-notch. The ambience was nice too with the special touches of feeling like you were in Thailand. We would definitely come back! read more

This is one of my favourite Thai spots in the city! After visiting the Downtown location multiple times, I finally tried the Scarborough one and I was happy to learn that it was just as amazing! Their dishes taste as great as they look. My favourites are the khao neow gaeng (I always get it with shrimp!) and the pad see ew. You can't skip their mango sticky rice for dessert; it comes with a unique chocolate shell that's so fun (and delicious) to crack. The interior is very beautifully decorated and colourful. There are stunning paper/origami decorations, plants, and neon signs all around the interior. This is the perfect spot for a date, meal with friends, or just whenever you're craving something flavourful and comforting. Be sure to book a reservation because spots can fill up fast! read more

I've been here twice now, celebrating two birthdays. The servers are always nice and attentive. Food menu is extensive and portions are big to share with two people. The prices are average, more on the expensive side for Thai food. Flavours are always good and quality is good. The seating is comfortable, lots of tables, good for groups, and decor and aesthetics are nice. Please note: a new $2 per person cake fee is in place. So just a warning if you're planning on having a birthday here with a large party, that fee could add up. 18% gratuity is automatically charged on all receipts read more

My group and I dined here during the holidays and made a reservation to avoid long waiting times. The interior is nicely decorated and the atmosphere is lively. Our server was quick to attend to us and gave us plenty of time to decide. We ordered: Gui Chai Tod 4.5/5: perfect if you like chewy textures and the sauce is good Goong Moun 3/5: mainly because it's too spicy for me so I couldn't even finish my piece Luok Jhim 4/5: seafoods are fresh Pad Thai (shrimps) 2.5/5: definitely on the sweeter side, and I didn't taste much other flavors Khao Pad 3.5/5: this was good but didn't stand out too much either Overall this was a great restaurant to try, but I guess I was expecting a bit more with all the hypes. read more

Ordered the pad Thai (mild). BOGO offer from uber. The mild had zero spice level. The noodles itself were soggy and no flavour. The portion size is the right amount, but I would not pay full price for this pad Thai. It was not tasty. When I dined in, everything was so spicy so I decided to go mild for the pad Thai. read more

I got the chance to try out Koh Lipe recently and what a great experience I had! This restaurant is on the Michelin Guide, and you can just tell once you dine here why it would be! First off this restaurant is beautiful, with stunning decor that really represents what Thailand would be like. The staff is so kind and the service is really great as well. We got the chance to try the Tofu Pad See Ew which was delicious and very flavourful! Along with the Mango Sticky Rice which was amazing and would definitely come back for. A super nice place to come dine in with family and friends, would highly recommend! 9/10 recommend! read more

I am a Koh Lipe fan!!! Always enjoy my experience and the food here. The restaurant is located in a plaza/mall - which you would have to enter to get to the restaurant. It's decorated very thoughtfully, full of colours, and attempts to resemble the vibes of a Thailand restaurant. We ordered the pad Thai, mas sa man curry, Thai milk tea, mango sticky rice, and gui chai Tod. Everything was so tasty! My favourite being the mas sa man curry! It's full of flavour and absolutely delicious! The gui chai tod was something new that i tried which is a savoury deep fried tapioca/rice flour dish that also comes with a dipping sauce. Pretty unique but still tasty! The pad thai is a classic! And we obviously had to finish off with dessert - the classic mango sticky rice - not too sweet and honestly satisfied my cravings. Service was great! read more

I've wanted to try Koh Lipe for a while, and so I got it for takeout. I ordered chicken pad thai (extra spicy), pad see ew (non spicy), and tom yum chicken wings. Chicken wings were delicious, especially with the sauce it came with. The chicken pad Thai was just as delicious and so different from the pad thai flavours that I'm used to. Pad see ew was good, just like any pad see ew anywhere. Prices are super steep for the portions though. read more

Yeah, this place rocks. Really cool atmosphere. Amazing menu. Service was great. Food came out really fast. There's nice music in the restaurant that you can faintly hear over the voices of the other diners and restaurant noises. Our group came at 6:30pm and the place was full. A little more about the food. I'm not big on spicy so the chicken curry (pictured) and the sauce for the seafood platter were not nice to my mouth. Everything else was a 10/10 for me, expect perhaps the mango salad. Now, I'm sure they made it right, but I just prefer eating soft mango than when it has some crunch to it. The prices were as expected. Good value for what you get. Not too pricey, but not cheap either. Try this place for sure, and the defunct mall that it's in is kind of fascinating in it's own right. read more

The food is amazing. Spicy is SPICY. I can typically handle spice well, but will be going for MEDIUM next time. The Goong Moun Tofu roll was a standout. Book a reservation. This place is busy. It may feel understaffed, but it's well worth the little bit of patience. The restaurant is tucked away inside the corner of a mall. But once you're inside it feels like you're in a different world, and you forget that you're in a mall. read more

The Scarborough location of Koh Lipe is larger and more spacious, with the same great menu, fun and colourful interior decor, and excellent customer service - just like its sister downtown location that was recognized by the Michelin Guide. It's located inside Splendid China Mall, with ample outdoor parking. The interior was just as beautiful as the decor in the downtown location - very colourful, with Thai-inspired decor such as the hanging straw bamboo lamps, decorated tuk-tuk near the front of the restaurant, a colourful replica of a grand Thai-style temple, and more. Food was 100% Michelin-star worthy without the heavy price tag of those in other Michelin star restaurants. Everything we tried tasted delicious, healthy, clean, fresh, and customizable (to be made non-spicy). We were even able to order some things that were not on the menu (special menu item - crab fried rice, and steamed vegetables). All the dishes came out within minutes of ordering - super lightning fast. Our server was very attentive and accommodating of our customization requests. The servers had a small walkie-talkie system with the kitchen staff, so they were able to ask questions and get confirmation instantaneously without having to run back to the kitchen to communicate. Very efficient. My recommendations: - Geow Goong (steamed shrimp dumplings) - This was like a cross between Chinese har gow and Korean steamed shrimps mandu (with the thinner dumpling wrapper). I liked the crispy garlic they put on the dumplings. - Khao Pad Puu (crab fried rice with eggs and green onions) - This was a special menu item (might be limited time only); came with actual big lumps of real crab (none of those imitation crab). - Pad Sam Mhen (vermicelli rice noodles stir-fried with clams, shrimps, holy basil, garlic, onion, and stink beans) - If you like stink beans, you can ask for extra stink beans on the side (which I did), as the dish originally came with only a few pieces of stink beans. The clams and shrimps were great protein mixed in with the vermicelli. They were able to put the sauces on the side for both the shrimp dumplings and crab fried rice, so you can control how much spice you want to put on your plate. This was my third time coming to Koh Lipe (twice downtown, and first time in the Scarborough location) - and it certainly won't be the last! read more

4.5/5 This is always a great place to savour Thai cuisine, the foods are always delicious. I made booking online but as it's a Thursday night, the restaurant was not full, and so sad to see some neighbouring restaurants completely empty with no guests inside. Apart from the regular dishes that we always ordered, this time we tried the pineapple salad, it came with some shrimps and squids, the squids were a bit rubbery. Now they set a minimum of 18% service charge on the machine, everywhere is charging higher and higher service charge which is no good! Still Koh Lipe is one of my favourite restaurants, I would always come back. read more

I have been to the Baldwin location many times, but this is my first time in the Scarborough location. Their menu here is much more extensive and with a large spacious dining space. We ordered the Prik Gaeng Moo Krob, Gaeng Ka Ti Sa Tor Nua and the Pad See Ew. The Prik Gaeng Moo Krob was my favourite as the crispy pork was amazing with the curry paste and green beans. They don't play with their spice levels here, so when they say something is medium spicy it is actually spicy. I could barely eat the Gaeng Ka Ti Sa Tor Nua but it was worth the pain. Save room for dessert, as they have some really great options. I tried the dessert special Bau Loy for the first time, and I really like the interplay between the soft mochi, coconut milk, and ice cream. Would definitely recommend to end the meal! read more

Can't recommend this restaurant enough! Super unique dishes you won't find at other Thai restaurants with fair prices and quick service. We made a reservation 2 days before (for a weeknight) and it's a good thing we did because they weren't taking walk ins. I highly recommend the pineapple coconut curry (literally the curry and coconut rice are in the pineapple), their braised beef khao soi and their pork tom yum. The latter is massive and served over a flame at your table to keep it warm. The spot is very aesthetic. Dining time is limited to 1hr 30 mins for 2-3 people and 1hr45 mins for 4+ people. read more

I heard a lot about this place, and my parents wanted to try it out. It is a Michelin-starred place, so the prices can be higher. In my opinion, I like their food, but would I return? I highly doubt it, as it was expensive for just three people, four dishes, and two drinks. My mom enjoyed the Pla Tod Kamin, but she said she couldn't eat the bones. Overall, she still liked it. I loved their pork belly appetizer; it was really good, and the other food was just the same as other Thai food places. The service was great, very attentive, and they gave us recommendations since it was our first time coming here. The noise level was perfect; it wasn't too loud, but you could still hear the music in the background. read more

My experience at Koh Lipe was good, but not extraordinary. The ambiance was casual and comfortable, providing a nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal, though it felt a bit too simple for a standout experience. The service was decent--friendly and polite, though it could have been a bit quicker. The food was tasty, with some great flavors, but it didn't have that wow factor that would make me eager to return. Overall, it's a solid choice for a satisfying meal, but there's room for improvement. read more

Koh Lipe has been on my wishlist to try for a long time and I finally got a chance to come here for dinner. They were quite busy at regular dinner time on weekends, but we were lucky able to be seates immediately without reservation. Their downtown location is a selected restaurant with good cooking by Michelin guide. We are welcomed by the energetic vibes, the beautiful Thai style decorations and warm welcomes from the server right away. Food quality was decent at reasonable price too. Their Scarborough location recently offered special items such as Bak Kut Teh (herbal soup originated in Malaysia and popular in Southeast Asia) and spicy blue crab curry rice noodles. We were told there were limited servings for those items everyday. We got a sweet and sour drink (super good), the Bak Kut Teh, spicy pork neck curry and coconut icecream. I'm not a big fan of soup in general but their Bak Kut Teh has an interesting sweet taste from 罗汉果 (monk fruit) which is good for cold and sore throat. My favourite dish is the spicy pork belly curry. The portion is not big but it's so tasty! The curry is so flavourful and quite spicy. The pork neck tastes fresh and tender. Last but not least, how can you not eating icecream to neutralize the spicyness? Their coconut icecream has strong flavour of coconut and has sliced coconut inside. I really enjoy the vibe, the attentive service and quality food here and will definitely bring my family and friends back to try more dishes here. read more

**3.5** (3 for service and 4 for food) I have been wanting to visit Koh Lipe for ages and finally got around to visiting this past weekend to see what the hype was all about. Service was friendly but a bit rushed. They told us that for groups of 6 and under there a 2.5 hour time limit and more than 6 is 2 hours. From deciding what we wanted and trying to wave them down I personally felt that 1.5 was a bit rushed especially towards the end when the waiter came and told us that we had 20 mins left for our dessert and leave. Before my desserts came, they came with the take out boxes and so I stopped midway (was almost done the remainder of my food that was on my plate) to pack leftovers and the waiter cleared my table without even asking if I was done or not. The price is on the higher side but was expected. My friend ordered a Lipe Mojito and for starters we got the Tom Yum soup and Yum Sapparod (pineapple salad w/shrimp & squid). Both very yummy but my friend was not a fan of the pineapple salad cause the tomato's were cut up a tad too big and just seems like it was a filler. For our mains, we shared the Mee Puu (crab curry) and Gaeng Keow Whan (chicken green curry). I enjoyed the crab curry but found the green curry on the oilier side. I finished off with Ruam Mit which I enjoyed (but comparing to other people's photo...mine looks so depressing!) I would be back to try out their other items though as they do have more unique items not found in other Thai restaurants. read more

Went to Koh Lipe with a colleague and was luckily seated right away on the enclosed patio. A nod to having extra seating with a warm space! The menu was great, a lot of choice. The prices were higher but not surprising for all the Michelin Star plaques on the walls. Like...fine. My food came and it was a pretty conservative portion. I ordered the curry, Mas Sa Man. I can honestly say it tastes like it was frozen and warmed up. Mostly because the potatoes had that 'once frozen' texture and it was lukewarm. The server was super sweet and heated it up for me. The actual dish was tasty, on the salty side but the tamerind flavour was interesting in a good way I'm giving this 3 stars. The best part was the company I had. The food was underwhelming, small portions and overpriced. And there was a man that was sporadically SHOUTING across the room. Very jarring, unprofessional and literally startled people. Please, you might be the owner (maybe?) but a little decorum! read more

I have been to many excellent and outstanding Thai restaurants in the GTA, even meeting some of the top chefs and owners. Koh Lipe is definitely one of the top spots, earning recognition in the Michelin Guide since 2022. They specialize in Southern Thai Cuisine, which tends to be a bit on the spicy hot side of the spectrum. I recently went to their Scarborough location in celebration of a friend's birthday, and we feasted on some delicious food. We had it all, from appetizers, to mains, desserts, and even mocktails. Every bite, every sip, was excellent! Starters and Mains * Yum Ma Muang (Mango Salad) * Guey Tiew Khaek (Isalamic Noodle) * Gaeng Kua Moo (Pork Ribs) * Luok Jhim (Seafood Platter) * Mee Puu (Blue Crab Curry) Desserts * Ruam Mit * Banana Nutella Toast * Thai Tea * Pandan Toast Mocktails * Sunny Smile * Jas-Mi-Peach * Let Me Do Sangria * Blue Wave Although busy with a full dining room, our server was friendly and professional, making our night out even more enjoyable. read more

The Thai milk tea and pineapple fried rice with shrimp were delicious. Pad thai was as you expect at a good Thai restaurant. The khao soi and masaman curry were borderline salty and over flavoured. Couldnt eat very much of it without drinking so much water. Upon arrival, there wasn't a very warm welcome even though we made reservations and showed up on time. We were a little rushed and were reminded that we only had 90 mins to dine. Tables and menus were sticky. So much potential in this beautiful restaurant that no staff really seemed to really truely care about. No wonder they lost their Michelin status this year. Sad. The giant Michelin mascot at the front door is a little tacky. Hopefully next time they'll gain it back! read more

Found out they had a Scarborough location right across pacific mall, and dropped in for dinner. Plenty of parking because it's located inside the splendid Chinatown mall near the Chinese vegetarian restaurant. Called before hand for a last minute reservation and they did accommodate! So reservations is highly recommended. Ordered plenty of dishes to share and everything was excellent except the Tom yum soup with veggies. Not sure if the soup base was also veggie but it didn't have any Tom yum flavour? Also I didn't adjust the spicy level of any dish because I forgot and the waiter didn't bother asking like other Thai spots. Highlights were the lemongrass salad (very spicy but flavourful and had many shrimp pieces .. maybe 8?) & the crispy pork pad gra prao. The pad see ew was good but I've had better. We also wanted dessert but since we got a last minute table we had to return the table by a certain time. But I found out they have a dessert spot called Kati so definitely will have to drop by! The space was huge and nicely decorated! read more

We came with a reservation, but you probably won't need a reservation if you beat the dinner rush. Everything on their menu looked super appetizing. I wish I tried more things!

Their food is still amazing (but definitely all on the spicier side even at their mild level so be warned!). Their service is super friendly and everyone is helpful and attentive. However, why did they introduce those robot servers?! They do not deliver food but I believe only dirty dishes back to the kitchen? We sat at a corner spot and since it is winter, our jackets were hanging on the back of our chairs. The robot's dirty dishes kept on getting caught in our jackets or they got stuck completely behind us and the hallway panel (not enough room for them to maneuver?). Food wise: we tried new dishes this time and got the pork jowl coconut curry and mackerel fried rice that comes in a stone pot (topped with copious amounts of bonito flakes). Both were really good and the fried rice had a lot of big pieces of mackerel throughout. Cant wait to come back again :) read more

This restaurant has great reviews, so I wanted to check it out. The first time we went on a Friday evening, there was a time limit to finish our meal, and we felt rushed. The second time, we went back around 4:30 PM, and it was much more relaxed with less pressure to finish quickly. I'd recommend making a reservation for an earlier dinner if you prefer a more relaxed dining experience. My favorite dish was the crispy pork, and the Khao Soi was really good too. We also ordered a few other dishes--I can't remember their names, but they were excellent! Would love to return to try more diff dishes read more

An incredible parade of colours and flavours elevates the experience. I travelled to Koh Lipe in Scarborough for lunch and it's located inside a mall. The restaurant is stunning, beautifully decorated with colourful Thai designs. The food matches the joyful palette of colours with equally savoury and sweet combinations. The Goong Moun set the stage with a delicately crispy roll filled with flavour. The Arjard sauce was light and delicious. A great way to start it off! I also ordered the Geow Goong shrimp dumplings and it's like tasting summer. Fresh, juicy, and mouthwatering. The Khao Neow Gaeng presentation was spot on, featuring spicy chicken curry paired together with sweet sticky rice. A great dish to share with others. Kor Moo Gaeng Kua was a surprise to my senses. Visually it's stunning with the leaf adorned the side of the bowl. The pork smelled amazing, perfectly cooked. The curry was creamy, with a nice mix of coconut and spice. My favourite dish overall and hopefully a permanent addition to the menu from the specials section. Wrapping up the experience was our server Nat. She was knowledgeable about the menu, slinging great suggestions for food and drink. Great service and personality! I will definitely be back, I want more of that Kor Moo Gaeng Kua! read more

The same experience as you would get at the downtown location! The space is a great selling point here because the original Baldwin location is much smaller and limited parking.

The pad Thai, fried pork belly and pineapple curry rice is amazing. The staff were quick and abundant. read more

Heard great things about this place from their downtown location so was super excited to hear they opened one in Markham/Scarborough! This place really does transport you back to Thailand with the decor and atomsphere. We ordered the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Khao Soi, and Kor Moo Gaeng Kua. Each dish was super flavourful and aromatic, but felt like it was missing the authenic flavours I feel in love with when I was in Thailand. There are more authentic Thai restaurants like Chiang Mai and Eat Bkk, which I still prefer. Otherwise, still enjoyed the food and would recommend if you have a large party as there is a ton of seating at this location. read more

Ordered: #1. Gui Chai tod (Fried garlic chive dumplings, a mix of tapioca and rice flour with garlic chives, served with spicy dipping sauce) #2. Goong Moun (Fried crispy skin tofu rolled with shrimp, carrot, chilli, betel leaf and served with Arjard sauce.) #3. Khao pad puu (Crab fried rice, egg, onion and served with spicy fish sauce.) #4. Pad sam mhen (vermicelli rice noodles stir-fried with stink beans, clams, shrimps, shrimp paste, onion, garlic, and holy basil) #5. Peek gai Tom yum (Fried chicken wings with Tom Yum flavour. Reviews: #1. New delicacy found! Chewy in the middle and crispy on the outside with bursting chive flavour - happening all at once in the mouth. #2. Complex mix of sweet, sour and salty. Loved the savoury and sour Arjard vinaigrette dip. The shrimp paste inside the roll is mushy with shredded carrots yet juicy) #3. Generous amount of Crab meat! Super savoury. A bit too salty for my liking. It came with super salty sauce. I would recommend not to over use the sauce - the fried rice has enough saltiness. If you want more spicy/hot flavour, add just a bit then it is enough IMO. #4. Liked it but a bit too salty - Super fine vermicelli rice noodle with plenty of stir-fried with clam, shrimp, shrimp paste, garlic, holy basil, onion, chilli and stink bean. Savoury and rich, and liked it for sure, but personally I wanted less salt. #5. Best dish for the day. The skin was crispy, meat is juicy. Great contrast and texture. Right amount of saltiness and spice for me. Overall, the dishes tend to be salty. Also, food comes out really hot/spicy. I was given a choice for my spicy level. I like hot/spicy so I communicated that to the server, but the food was a bit spicier than I thought. Nice interior, but utility/service carts with empty dishes near the entrance was not elegant! read more

This place has the BEST and authentic Thai food in the city! I highly recommend that you make a reservation, actually their website says reservation required. I've been here twice and both times, it has been really busy. I love that they have items here that I don't normally see at other Thai restaurants. They have dishes from different regions of Thailand. Coconut curry with pork jowl... wow, just amazing! The Goong Moun appetizer is delicious so I had to order it both times. My favorite dish so far is the Pad Sam Mhen (Stinky Noodle). The noodle itself isn't stinky, it's the stink bean. The first time we ordered it, our server made sure that we knew what we were ordering but both hubby and I enjoyed it & didn't find anything stinky about it. We had the green curry with chicken extra spicy and be warned, extra spicy here does come out extra spicy. Also, the protein in each dish is plentiful! They don't cheap out. Lots of chicken, lots of jumbo shrimp. Even though it is very busy, the food comes flying out of the kitchen. They are quick and efficient there. Everything comes out delicious and piping hot. The servers here are kind and make small talk with you, checking in every once in a while to make sure everything is to our liking. The only thing I found was that 1.5 hours wasn't enough time to eat all the food we ordered plus dessert. They tried to rush us out with 14 minutes left on the clock and I had to pretty much take a stance that we wanted to eat dessert and would do so quickly. I highly recommend this place over & over again! read more

One year later and they still won't answer the phone haha Koh Lipe is a staple Thai food resto in Toronto. However on this visit the pad Thai tasted very off. It did not taste like pad Thai but like some fried Chinese stir fry. The fried rice is nothing special : just regular fried rice but extremely salty. The saving grace of the meal was the squid. It was so delicious and soft and perfectly seasoned. I also liked that it came with the authentic Thai seafood sauce which you don't find easily in Toronto. read more
