Koh Lipe is the name of a small island in southern Thailand where owner Si Lom (owner of Eat BKK) is from. koh lipe specializes in dishes from the island region and is known for a dish featuring "stink bean". This restaurant has two levels and is beautifully decorated with colourful accents and props that makes you feel as if you've travelled to Thailand. People are known to come here to try unique dishes not offered at most Thai restaurants or even at all. . I got to try a few dishes with friends and really enjoyed my experience here with the unique and tasty but very spicy food as well as the decor and service was very attentive even though they were busy. . Food 1. Pla Goong $13.95 - lemongrass salad with onion, mint and chili shrimps, a great starter. . 2. Coconut and mango juice as well as authentic Thai iced tea. . 3.Gai Tod Hat Yai $9.95 - Southern Thailand fried chicken with onion, served with plum sauce. A recommended dish, that is crispy, juicy and a hint of sweetness with the sauce. . 4. Guey Tiew Khaek (Isalamic Noodle) $14.95 - Rice noodle, with boiled egg, peanut and red curry gravy. Choice of veggies tofu or beef. . 5. Kha Moo Tod $25.95 - fried pork knuckle served with tamarind sauce and spicy sauce. This dish was quite addicting to dip and eat. The sauce has hints of heat from the chili, salty from the fish sauce and sour from the lime juice and it helps to cut any grease from the pork. . 6. Pad Phed Sa Tor Koong $18.95 - stir fried stink bean with shrimp and curry sauce. Such a unique dish with a unique ingredient. The stink bean has a distinct bitter flavour. The spicy curry sauce help to mask the stink beans but beware it gets spicy! Wash down with some Thai iced tea helped a bit. Of course you gotta have dessert! This instagram worthy dessert is not only fun to play with but delicious as well! . Khao Neow Ma Muang is their twist on the mango coconut sticky rice dessert with crispy puffed rice, a mango shaped white chocolate with mangoes and sticky rice hidden underneath it. Just take the back of a spoon and whack it until it breaks, then devour it! . read more

Their pad see ew is delicious, stir fried with basil with a good kick. If you can't take spice, make sure to ask them to reduce the chili level. Tom Kha has great flavour of coconut soup. The pork hock is definitely the highlight of their menu, it's super crispy and you can pull right off the bone, it comes with a side of sticky rice. It is a big portion, so make sure you have enough people to share it. Their spicy level tends to be a bit more than the usual Thai food, so make sure to ask them to reduce it if you can't take it. But if you want to try it out, their Thai milk tea is great too, also helps reduce the heat! Love that they make a heart shaped rice whenever you order a side rice as well. Only two types of dessert but the mango sticky rice is different from other Thai restaurants. White chocolate covered mango pieces on top of sweetened sticky rice. Delicious! read more

Super cute restaurant both inside and out! The restaurant itself is pretty small on the main floor but its bright, colorful and shows some of the owners personality with their decor touches. -heard there was an upstairs but didnt get to see it -i liked my food but didnt find it spectacular? The chicken wings pretty good! I myself had the islamic noodles which i found pretty tasty.. the portion was pretty big... i couldnt finish it -i found the mango coconut sticky rise way to sweet for my liking which was disappointing because it was my most anticipated item. The concept is super cute and insta-story worthy!! -my partner and I also found the thai tea too sweet! I felt like it tasted like condensed milk more than the tea itself Its worth a try because its like youve travelled outside of the gta! Fun experience overall! read more

Same owners as EatBKK, though Koh Lipe focuses on Southern Thailand cuisine. Recently opened, it has a freshness to it, operating with the spunk of a restaurant trying to carve out its place in the neighborhood. Hope they don't lose this once they've established themselves. Anyway, my wife and I were here for an early dinner and got: - Lime Lychee: Refreshing drink. Nice balance to the heat of the meal. - Gai Tod Hat Yai: Southern Thai fried chicken. Crisp on the chicken skin was really good, marinade made the chicken meat oh so tasty! They have 2 friend chicken appetizers, so make sure to get this one. - Tod Mun Pla: Deep fried mince fish with plum sauce. Was expecting this to be overly greasy but it was perfectly deep fried. Sweetness of the plum sauce complimented the nice spice of the fish. - Luok Jhim: Assorted steamed seafood (shrimps, mussels, squid) with a spicy sauce, lettuce and noodles on the side. Meh for the price you pay. Serving size was big, but the seafood wasn't super high quality. Good enough. - Mango Coconut Sticky Rice: Really creative take on a traditional Thai dessert. The mango is cased in chocolate shaped like a mango. Tap on it to break the chocolate casing and the real mango spills out. Dessert as it should be... fun and yummy! Hope Koh Lipe continues to find its footing and sustain its promising start. Will be back if I'm craving for Thai in the area. read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant as it's been a while since a cool new restaurant has opened up in Baldwin Village. I ordered a ginger pork curry dish, which I was told was moderately spicy. I asked if they could make it mild and they said they could try. I will admit my spice tolerance isn't amazing but that dish was like 8 out of 10 spicy! I was crying. But it was still good. Of course we ordered the mango sticky rice, which to my surprise was chocolate! I definitely recommend trying this unique dish, it's a tasty dessert! read more

What a cute spot on Baldwin. They offer southern and northern Thai dishes at a reasonable price! They have a large variety of options as well as some great lunch specials and the portions are very generous. I tried the Islamic noodles which were incredibly flavourful and the green curry lunch special with rice, spring roll and mango salad. The green curry was ok, I expected it to be a bit more flavourful though. The spring rolls were bad, very 'frozen' tasting with barely any filling. The mango salad was fresh, always a fav. I definitely want to try some other dishes here! read more

This place is located right in the heart of China town. While it was not busy when I arrived, I always enjoy places that use the yelp reservation tool. It's a small quaint atmosphere that has that family run feel to it. I ordered the pad kee mow and it was tasty. They didn't ask for how spicy I wanted it, but they got the spicy level spot on for the way I wanted. Also, when I ordered they did not have chicken as an option for the pad kee mow and accommodated my liking which was nice. I have had better Thai - this is a solid option overall if in the area. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally got the chance to go! The menu at Koh Lipe is pretty big and I feel like you could always find something that suits your taste if you love Thai food. Other than the typical Thai items like pad Thai and pad see ew, they also have items that I haven't seen before in other Thai restaurants around the city. I tried the Islamic noodles - which I thought were the typical khao soi noodles at first but it's actually a bit different! I really loved it. It's very thick and looked as if the noodles sucked up all the curry sauces. It was so delicious and I could see myself craving this. My boyfriend on the other hand, wanted to be a bit more adventurous and had the Ghang Kha Moo (pork short ribs in ginger curry). The spice level was a level 1 spice HOWEVER IT WAS SO SPICY THAT WE COULDN'T REALLY TASTE ANYTHING ELSE (sorry about the caps but wanted to warn everyone about the spice levels at this place). Both of us usually can take our spices really well but for some reason that dish was extremely spicy to the point where we couldn't enjoy it properly. The flavours were really good though. I just wished it wasn't so spicy. For dessert, we ordered the mango sticky rice. The shell was actually made out of white chocolate. It was really delicious (a bit on the sweet side because of the chocolate) but overall I really enjoyed it. read more

We are big fans of Thai food. Glad to know another must-visit Thai restaurant in downtown Toronto. Very Instagram-able decoration. We ordered 1. Guey Tiew Khaek (Isalamic Noodle) with beef, 2. Pad Gra Prao with crispy pork, 3. Khao Neow Ma Muang (Mango coconut sticky rice) not sure if it is authentic but all of them are very mouth-watering, decent price and hugh portion - end up packing half of the food for another meal:) read more

This is probably my new favourite Thai restaurant! We sat outside on the patio which I absolutely loved and thought it was very cute. It's the perfect spot for a nice lunch! The service was a little slow, maybe because we were outside, but they were all very nice and the sun was out so I didn't mind as I wasn't in a rush either. We ordered the Pork Knuckles which was a chef's special and it was so good! The skin was nice and crispy and the pork was tender and delicious. The sticky rice that it came with was unfortunately dry but I still gighly recommend this dish and would definitely come back for this. We also order the Pad Gra Prao with minced chicken. It has very strong and bold flavours, most likely from the fish sauce with a slight kick. The flavours went really well together and the egg was the cherry on top. We also got the Thai Iced Tea and The Thai Lemon Iced Tea. The Thai Iced was good but nothing special. The Lemon Iced Tea was really good. If you're looking for a drink that's not so sweet I would choose the lemon tea over the Thai Iced Tea. Especially if you don't want dairy! To finish off our meal we order the mango sticky rice which is what this place is most popular for. Esthetically the dish was beautiful and looks even better once you crack it. I like that it comes as a fun little experience. The dessert itself was sweet and the sticky rice with the coconut had the "salty" taste that usually comes with this dessert. The only thing is that the mangoes were warm because of the sticky rice and the mango flavour wasn't really there because it kind of "cooked." I did really enjoy my experience and would recommend this place! read more

This cute little restaurant has authentic Southern Thai food. Very flavourful ,colorful dishes. Some are a bit too spicy for me but a nice glass of Thai Milk tea really helps. Space is really cute on the main floor. They have an upstairs and also a few tables in the front patio. If you are on the main floor and need the bathroom its a bit of a hike. My wife's knees wouldn't make it up the stairs :( Will definitely be back especially for the mango sticky rice ;p read more

There is a new Thai restaurant in Baldwin area. They specialize in Southern Thai food which I feared due to my allergy to spicy foods. But the food was amazing as well as the presentation. When you walk in, there are 2 floors of seating which helps accommodate more people. Staff were very helpful with out choices. The chicken skewers (Gai Gor Lae) and fish cakes (Tod Mun Pia) were my favorites as a spicy impaired person. Make sure you order the lychee lime with real fruit and Thai ice tea to calm the spices in your mouth. The seafood platter with lettuce wrapping was also my favorite as I love seafood. For spicy adventurers, they have minced fish cakes and fried mackerel that my friends liked. The must have is the mango sticky rice. It was fun to open and the taste was perfect. A welcomed addition to the neighbourhood for sure. read more

I'll keep this simple and straight forward - probably the most authentic southern thai food in Toronto as I have never tasted anything remotely like it. Get any dish involving stink beans, it'll be a love hate relationship but it's so addicting, would definitely be a place to come back. Their mango dessert is also nice. Ps. This was when I went two months ago. read more

Finally stopped by Koh lipe and tried their fried chicken (tiny portion, nothing special, not worth it), Islamic noodles (pretty good flavor and good portion size), and pad thai (pretty good). Apart from the fried chicken appetizer, the food was good but the service needs work. When we arrived the restaurant was mostly empty (it filled up about 20mins later) and we were directed upstairs. The server pointed at a table against the side of a wall and when we asked if we could be put at any two-top table just across that would be a bit more comfortable (at this point, the entire second level was essentially empty) the server seemed incredibly annoyed, making exasperated noises and a face. read more

Just think of a place where everything is perfect: the food, the environment, the drinks. A natural environment for good times, and there you will be at Koh Lipe. My friend and I sat on the patio right by the rose wall, on the perfect summer's evening. We started off with drinks, I had the pineapple and she had the lychee martini, and we both agreed that the drinks were a bit too sweet, more juice than liquor. Then, we decided to split a pitcher of the mango sangria, they were kind enough to omit the chili when we asked. It was a perfect refreshing sangria! The mangos were delicious, sweet, and perfectly ripe. And there were a lot of them! The food was spectacular. I've never seen pad gra pao made that way, with large savoury chunks of meat in lieu of the customary ground pork! And the seafood platter... wow, I ate three bowls of rice with that alone! The sauce was perfectly spiced and savoury and the seafood was plentiful. Large shrimps, huge pieces of squid, clams and mussels which had absorbed all of the flavour. Islamic noodles were great! But I was so full from the seafood I took it all to go. The curry sauce was rich and fragrant. If Pai is the king of thai food in Toronto, then Koh Lipe is definitely the king of southern thai food with its focus on fresh seafood and rich sauces! Can't wait to go.back! read more

I have seen this restaurant all over social media and knew I had to try this out. My friend and I decided to come here for dinner, especially since we both love Thai food. The place has a patio which can be utilized in the warm weather, and a seating area in the main floor and small seating area upstairs. Service was good overall, they were quick to take our order, bring the food and everything else. I was curious to try the stink bean, what they described similar to jack fruit, and I like jack fruit, so I think I'll have to return to try this. I usually get khao soi,curry or pad Thai as my usual go to but I decided to try something new. I ordered the Islamic noodles that came with an egg, veggies and red curry gravy. This sounded interesting and different. It was not bad, I'm still confused about these Islamic noodles, they just seemed like regular rice noodles that they would use in pho. I love that there were a lot of veggies and variety, the peanuts in the red gravy curry, but I didn't think that the sauce was very flavourful, or too curry like. My friend ordered the green curry with rice. From the picture you can see that the rice was presented in a shape of heart (great presentation), the green curry had a nice kick to it and tasted really fresh. Overall: 7/10 would recommend. read more

Authentic Southern Thai food. Highly recommended! There are a few interesting dishes here that you may not be able to find elsewhere at a standard Thai restaurant in North America. These are listed in the Southern dishes section in the menu. The staff member is very nice and polite, but I think after COVID, the place is a little understaffed so the service is not as great as before. Note that I cut them some slack when writing this review but I'd probably reduce to 4 stars if the service is still not back after a few more months as other restaurants seem to have figured this out. Before you specify that "extra spicy" level, just be aware that spicy here really means spicy. You may burn your tongue :) read more

Been wanting to check out this place for the longest time and I managed to finally stop by! I came by on a weekday around 8 PM and I didn't have to wait for a table at all - it is downtown so it's paid first come first serve street parking but there were plenty of spots available when I went. It seems like such a small restaurant from the outside but its pretty spacious with the patio, main floor and top floor open for customers. The patio is obviously first choice for many on such a nice day when I went so I had to opt for the top floor .. For food, my friend and I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp, Luok Jhim (steamed seafood platter) and the Guey Tiew Khaek with Beef (Islamic noodles). The soup was standard tom yum at any other thai restaurants, sweet with the perfect amount of spiciness to balance it out. The islamic noodles were good, but it is very thick and heavy. The peanut butter stood out the most compared to the other flavours and ingredients. My friend and I couldn't finish this at all LOL The star of the show is definitely the seafood platter! It sounded very basic at first and we weren't sure if it'd be worth the $25 but hoooly. The sauce is amazing!! It ties the seafood, noodles and lettuce together and gives it that kick to make this dish stand out. I couldn't get enough of it. If your spice tolerance is low like my friend's, you might be struggling tho LOL The seafood tasted so fresh, and I loved the selection! It looks like such a light dish but its super filling, I think we would've been good with just this platter and the soup. Def recommend. Service was very standard - it didn't stand out but it will suffice. Our food came out very quickly though, which is a huge plus! The servers try to memorize your orders though, which is fine but he did forget our thai milk tea. Minor problem, but for the sake of the review I will mention it. I can't wait to come back for the seafood platter again tho! Hella bomb and I recommend afff. read more

Just found my new go to lunch place! So glad that Koh Lipe is close to work. We enjoyed every single dish, especially the Islamic Noodles! Portions were generous and you will be sure to leave very full. The Thai iced tea helped wash everything down (but also added to the fullness since there was coconut in it). Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely get the mango coconut sticky rice for dessert - it was quite fun (and challenging) trying to crack open the white chocolate shell that contained the mango. We expected the mango sticky rice to be a cold dish but it wasn't - the rice was hot to to touch (but was cooled down by the mango). My only complaint would be the fly issue. There were a lot of tiny flies flying around on the first floor. Definitely eat upstairs or on the patio. Can't wait to come back and try out more dishes! read more

I want to love this place, believe me I really do. But both times I went the service was inexcusably poor. First time I went was at night on Wednesday May 1st. It seemed fairly popular and luckily there were a few free tables upstairs. My friend and I sat down and were given just the food menu, no drink menu. We looked around and saw that people had drinks so we found it odd they didn't give us the drink menu. We tried to get the attention of the servers for the longest time but said screw it, we'll just order a Thai iced tea, they have to have that. Finally we got to place our order at 8:50pm. The decor and vibe was nice, and we had plenty of time to take a good look at it because come 9:30pm and we still haven't recieved a single dish on our table. The servers didn't seem to even notice until we voiced how our food had yet to arrive. Around 9:40pm, we finally got our first dish. The Peek Gai Tod Glau had deliciously crisp skin on the chicken and the meat was quite juicy and flavourful. The dip was nice too. Next my Massaman Curry finally came and it was presented nicely, with the rice shaped into a heart. I have to say, the curry was really good and the beef had a nice texture. We did not recieve much of any apology or reason as to why our food was late. The second time I went was in the afternoon on Saturday, May 5. No one greeted us at the door and we were confused if we were to seat ourselves since there was no signage. After 5 mins of awkwardly waiting at the door, we decided to seat ourselves. I actually got the food menu and drink menu this time which was good to see. I ordered the Khao Soi and my boyfriend ordered the Pad Gra Pao. I'm fairly certain a good 30-40mins passed and no sign of our food. I noticed that they drop off the bottle of water and leave the customer to fill the glasses themselves. This seems like a bad idea because while I was waiting for my food, a customer ended up dropping the glass and shattering it on the ground. As part of improving their service, this could be a little thing they could do to prevent a mess and create a better customer experience. We ask the server where our food is and he apologizes and brings us Spring Rolls on the house. Finally our food arrives and I devour it because I am absolutely starving. The server tells us that they have issues with their ordering system and that's why it's causing delays. Both dishes were incredibly flavourful and I would love to go back for more, but I refuse to go back a third time until they truly do something to improve their service (and their ordering system). read more

This restaurant is divine. My lunch companions and I loved everything we ordered. The decor is fun and instagram-worthy. The service is efficient and most importantly the food is flavorful and beautifully presented. I love spicy food and I can handle a lot of spice and Koh Lipe did not disappoint. We ordered the Pia Goong salad. I could eat that salad every day. It was fresh and tangy. At $13.95 it's a little pricey for the size but it was so good you quickly forget the price. We also ordered one lunch special with the fried whiting fish and hot and sour soup. The fish was lightly battered and not at all greasy. It was served on top of a delicious sauce which had a nice kick to it. I wish there was more of it on the plate. The hot and sour soup was not spicy (but it was tasty). The lunch special was served with rice and two spring rolls. We ordered the green curry with chicken. We all loved it. If you can't handle the spice, stay away from the hot peppers and you should be fine. I ordered the Thai iced tea and found it too sweet for my taste. That was the only disappointing part of the meal for me. I don't know what more can be said about the mango with coconut sticky rice that hasn't already been said other than that it was life changing. We shared it as we were pretty full by that point. It's incredible to look at, fun to eat and delish. My lunch companions and I are still talking about it today. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Koh Lipe is a welcome addition to the Toronto food scene. read more

Another awesome Thai restaurant in downtown Toronto. I was here with my friends on last Sunday. We arrived at 6 pm and this place was already packed. Reservations are recommended if you decide to come at the weekend. Environment : When we stepped in the restaurant, we were attracted by cute yellow tut-tut taxi. The restaurant is renovated as a modern Thai restaurant with some street graffiti. The giant traditional Thai wood carving wall art was very impressive, it gives a great enhancement of Thai decor style to this restaurant. Food: - Gai Gor Lae (grilled chicken with coconut curry sauce) : this is my favourite dish of the night. The coconut curry sauce is flavourful, it tasted like satay sauce. The chicken was grill to perfection. We finished this dish within 5 minutes lol - Gaeng Keow Whan (green curry with chicken) : love the spiciness and spices of the green curry. Chicken breasts were soft and tender. It's good to ​match with jasmine white rice. -Pad Gra Paro (holy basil with crispy pork and fried egg) : the holy basil sauce was tasty, but the crispy pork was over-cooked and it's not crispy enough. I would rather go for chicken instead. - Kha Moo Tod (fried pork knuckle) : this is one of the chef specials on the menu. However, it was the most disappointing dish of the night. The pork knuckle was over-cooked. The meat was dry and chewy. The skin of the pork knuckle was not crispy at all. The tamarind sauce was too watery. I will not order this dish anymore. - dessert: we ordered the mango sticky rice. Love the presentation of this dessert. Dice mango was stuffed into the yellow chocolate mango shell. You need to use your spoon to crack the chocolate mango shell in order to let the mango flows on the sweet coconut rice. Service: Food was good, the price was reasonable, but their service was poor. We asked for our bill @ 7:15 pm but we were still waiting for our bill at 8 pm. The worst thing is our server spilled our curry on the lady who was sitting next to me. I will give them one more star if they provided a better service. read more

Yum yum yum! Right when we got in, there was a line up of 5 groups before us. Luckily we didn't wait longer than 15 mins, enough time to look at the menu and figure out what we wanted. First of all, the servers were all so nice! Definitely put us in the mood for all the things we were about to dive into haha. I will admit, we definitely over ordered. Between the two of us, we ordered 6 different items. So you bet we had to pack some things to go and have it for brunch the next day. My favourite items would be the Fried Chicken, the Pad Gra Prao and the sticky rice dessert! Oh man, that chicken was so good. Definitely getting my own plate of it next time we go haha. The Pad Gra Prao is super spicy - and I love spice! So stay away if you can't handle heat. The sticky rice was so creative! Not only did it look good, it tasted pretty good too. read more

Heard about the new Thai restaurant downtown so decided to give it a shot on the weekend. There was quite a wait, for 3 people we waited closer to 45 minutes. The interior of the space was very cute and bright. The restaurant itself wasn't very big so hence the wait time. They do take reservations but would recommend making them as early as possible. To start the meal, we got the mango salad and fish cakes. They were both great, however, for mango salad wise, the mango was a bit ripe. We ordered the red curry, pad Thai and the fried pork knuckle as our main. The red curry was probably the only "miss" of the meal. It tasted quite weird, and we all described it as "DUST". There was a weird taste in the curry and we just couldn't put a finger as to what it was. The Pad Thai on the other hand was excellent. Definitely one of the better ones I've had downtown. The deep fried pork knuckle, oh my, was it very fried. It was more like a chip consistency. It was very delicious with the sauce, however, it is very spicy so be warned! We had to order a Thai ice team to help calm the heat but what's a Thai meal without a Thai ice tea anyway. The show stealer was definitely the mango sticky rice. I didn't expect it to come in a mango shell. At first I was a bit disappointed as I initially thought there was no real mangos in it. But to my surprise as we crack open the chocolate shell, the mango pieces were underneath it! Would definitely come back and just avoid the curry at all cost. Other than that a solid 3.5 star imo. read more

Being downtown once a month, we always like to try something new. We saw the review for this little joint from another Yelper and decided to give it a try. The restaurant has two floors, with the washrooms on the second level. The moment you walk in the decor is very tropical, vibrant and fun. There's the front of a little tuk tuk at the front. To start we ordered the Tod Mun Pla which are bite size fish cakes served with a peanut plum sauce. The fish cake had a nice little bouncy taste which was fun to eat. We also ordered the Beef Look chin Ping which are tendon beef balls serves with a spicy tamarind sauce. The sauce was very delicious and brought out the beef taste. For our lunch special, we ordered the Pad Thai with the Green Curry Chicken and the Fried Rice with the Spicy Fried Fish. The lunch was served with two veggie spring rolls and a Tom Yum soup. The soup was very flavorful and the curry had the perfect amount of spices. Parking is all paid and limited. read more

It's a 3.5. I love Thai food and I heard this is the new spot so I had to try it. The mango sticky rice was super fun and delicious (no pic sorry) but the others foods were good, just wasn't amazing. I do really enjoy the atmosphere, so if you do want some Thai in your area I do recommend it. Here's a breakdown of what I ordered and my rating: Thai ice tea 5/5 Pineappletini 2.5/5 Green chicken curry 4/5 Pad Thai 3.5/5 (I've had better, but the texture is good, not enough flavour?) Crispy pork rice 2.5/5 (the pork was so dry and it wasn't anything special) Pineapple fried rice 4/5 Mango sticky rice 4/5 read more

If I could desribe this place in a few words it would be hot firey thai food! Seriously, during the meal we were all crying because the food was so spicy I think we all shed at least 1000 tears that meal. I can confirm this because we gave the waitress a wad of 100 napkins. She looked at the napkins in awe and we just said it was sooooooo spicy. There was even this one time the waitress came over to my friend crying and had to comfort her. Getting past the spicy food, the mango dessert at the end provided great relief. We all loved this dish the most. It has a unique combination of rice and white chocolate and mango. It was by far the best thing I've eaten in awhile. read more

5 stars for ambiance. 4 stars for food. Really spicy but sometimes lacks a punch of flavour. Great food pics for Instagram and it definitely has a different vibe compared to other Thai Restos in town. They specialize in Southern Thai food. We ordered their pork ribs and ginger curry - didn't look appetizing and lacked depth. Was just super duper spicy. Khao soi - amazing! Delish and a bit spicy Be prepared to have your mouth burn on fire.. or my mouth was burning bc I wasn't used to the lingering spiciness lol! read more

Maybe it's because everything came in a beautiful Instagram worthy plate that made it look amazing. Sadly, the flavours weren't there for my friends and I. We came here for Saturday as a late lunch. We already kind of knew what we wanted from the menu since it was items we looked at before coming. All the Thai iced teas were yummy. But that's to be expected. Luok Jhim - The seafood platter was yummy. I think the green sauce that accompanied it was what really made it more delicious. Alone I'm assuming the seafood was just streamed. The chicken pad Thai was really simple and original. Nothing fancy or a miss for us. It was a go to dish. Ka Nom Jeen Gaeng Thai Pla - the fish curry was a huge disappointment. Minus the fact that the waiter didn't know what kind of fish it was, or was awfully spicy, salty and a little deceiving. On the menu it didn't mention that the fish was fermented. When we got the fish, it had a not so pleasant funk to it that we didn't bother eating it. My friends enjoyed the mango and sticky rice. I think that was what was most enjoyable. There were other dishes on the menu worth a try. read more

Food was pretty good, came here mainly for the Fried Pork Knuckle and the Mango Sticky Rice dessert as it's unique to this restaurant. Pad Thai was excellent so was the Pork Rib Ginger Curry. Disappointments were: - Pork Knuckle was small for price of $25 compared to non Thai restaurants that offer double the size at $29 - Pork Knuckle had heavy Pork stench similar to Pork intestine's - Mango Sticky Rice shell was overly sweet Biggest disappointment was the wait time on a Monday night. Waited 45 minutes for table for 4 when the waitlist software by yelp said 17-25 minutes. It may have been true if the tables were waited on properly. There were tables that had finished eating but just sat there to chat for 30+ minutes while there were a huge line up waiting. Didn't seem like there was a manager in place that directed waitresses so they were busy doing orders etc. No one checked to see if everything was good or if we needed anything else. We ordered to share but weren't given plates. Overall service was the worst I've experienced. read more

The food tastes amazing and they have a great variety of thai food on their menu, I wish I could have tasted them all. The Pad Thai needs more sour/sweet/spicy sauce as I found it a bit bland, but this is personal preference. The Pad Gra Prao was flavourful. Although the portions were generous, the food to rice ratio was a bit lacking as I couldn't finish all the rice. Hoewever the flavour of the meat and vegetables infused into the rice and it tasted quite good. Althought it was marked as spicy, it was only mild. The inside is so pretty with the colorful murals~ The service was fast and the servers were really nice. read more

Koh Lipe - inside - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Been craving for this restaurant for a while but it turns out to be very disappointed. Had the Kha Moo Tod (fried pork), the pork was not fully cooked, and very hard to chew. The rice on the side was hard like a stone. The full dish was not eatable and I end up left the restaurant hungry. Based on that I would not recommend this place. read more

Read this before you go, I usually don't write reviews. In general, I would not recommend this restaurant for any special event because it is extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly. I had a belated birthday dinner with some friends at Koh Lipe and my friends prepared a birthday cake that is to be served after main courses but we were told that it would cost $4 per person if we were to cut a cake at their restaurant. This is ridiculous. We ordered a relatively large amount of food. However, because we were chatting at first and it took slightly longer to order food, the Filipino/Thai waitress gave us dirty looks and rushed us several times to order our food. By the time we ordered our food, the waitress literally placed every single dish at the very edge of the table, didn't bother putting them at the center despite the table being empty. The waitress also rolled her eyes when we sat more than 1 hour at their table despite having 5 other LARGE tables vacant. The waitress repeatedly told another server to serve us afterwards and occasionally dropping by to see if we want our bill, rushing us to leave, don't forget that there is still a birthday cake in the fridge. By the time we wanted to have our cake, the waitress literally brought the cake along with its box AND the original BAG straight to our table without lighting up the candle, without providing plates, without serving it to us WHILE charging us $4 per person just to chill our cake. We complained at the end and the male server was nice enough to help, but the female waitress remained to roll her eyes and give dirty looks. It is completely unacceptable and this is what michelin guide recommended?? What a joke. Oh, and don't forget for a group of 5, there is automatically a gratuity charge added to the bill. Would you pay 18%+ gratuity for this sort of service? read more

Went here for dinner on a Thursday evening. Great space, very cute, the decor was nice. Servers were nice and helpful. Started with geow goong, nham tok, pad gra pros and ended with khao neow muang . I felt it was a good spicy level, but if you're not a spicy food kind of person just let the staff know they will have it made to you're tolerance level. read more

Food: 4.5 Stars Service: 3 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Fill Factor: Filling When it comes to Thai cuisine I feel that we are very lucky here in Toronto with so many great options to choose from. Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen is another one of these great options and I really enjoyed the food here on my first visit. I have made it a point to try Massaman curry whenever I see it on a menu so that is exactly what I did here. I also ordered a Thai iced tea, the mango sticky rice and go to try a bit of the pad gra prow. The Thai iced tea was good and is pretty much like any other Thai iced tea at other restaurants. The pad gra prow was flavourful and I would definitely recommend it however be aware that it was fairly spicy so you will need to navigate around the chilies if spicy is not your thing. I have always found that Massaman curry is best served with beef. What I did not know is that braised beef makes it taste SO MUCH better. The braised beef was so soft and tender and went so well with that light sour taste of the Massaman curry. This is definitely something I will come back to the restaurant to have. Many of the reviews recommend the mango sticky rice therefore it was a no-brainer to give it a shot. This definitely met my expectations as it tasted great. The chocolate shell surrounding the mango chunks was really cool and went well with the gooey mango chunks inside. The sticky rice was nice and soft and had a great coconut aroma and flavour which I find is lacking at times for other mango sticky rice I have had elsewhere. Service itself was fine as I did not find anything in particular to praise or complain about. In terms of the restaurant itself, I dined on the patio as it was a beautiful day so I did not step inside the restaurant itself. From my review you can tell that I really enjoyed the food here. If you are a fan of Thai food I would definitely recommend you give this place a try. They have a lot of choices on their menu so I will be coming back myself to try some of the Southern Thai cuisine. read more

Came here when patios started opening. Protocols are followed pretty strictly, saw them turn away people who didn't have masks. Food is pretty good, but a little on the cold side (for the hot dishes). Definitely like their seafood platter and the spicy sauce - something I haven't tried before! Their patio is cute but there were quite a few flies (con of eating outside) so just be aware and enjoy your time! read more
