    pad see ew
    Kayley W.

    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!

    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

    Recommend the crunchy pork belly with side of limey dipping sauce! Shrimp chips with peanut sauce so good. Pad Thai was okay. Apparently Michelin awarded!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Highly recommended. One of my favourite Thai places! Order anything and everything from there! Quick service ferry, friendly staff, beautiful interior!

    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.

    Mango salad.

    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.

    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.

    Interior - fun, playful, colourful

    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!

    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.
