    Amazing food, really attentive service considering how busy they were during their Winterlicious period.

    Pandan cake

    Came for dinner with a friend and found the food quite decent! Average plate / portion sizes and some of the food was quite flavourful. Service was decent too (sometimes difficult to wave down but polite), and they offer a baby booster chair with toddler cutlery too. We started off with a few appetizers, getting the golden shrimp donuts (deep-fried umami which reminded me of the deep fried crab claws you get at Chinese restaurants) and spiced beef Thai tartare (just average, nothing too different from a normal tartare). Our mains were the pad see ew (the star of the show, in my opinion, with great wok hei and flavour), dried khao soi with wagyu beef (a bit of a gimmick, but the beef was super tender and melted in our mouths), and a braised rib massamun (on the sweeter side, but a pretty rich and earthy flavour with fall-off-the-bone tenderness). Though completely satisfied, we rounded off a great dinner with additional desserts. The sweet section was a bit weaker - mango sticky rice is a classic but their take was a bit too... over the top, with chocolate and rose cracker and whatnot. The pandan cake was a bit too heavy and sweet, nothing like the Bangawan Solo version (which I crave, to this day). That said, overall a pretty solid meal with some standout dishes. Would come again!

    Fun place for Thai food! Bright decor and a lot of vibes. Le Lert is very close to college station, very accessible via transit. Easy to walk past but don't pass by the unassuming entrance! The dishes were tasty, and there are a lot of creative twists on classic Thai dishes. Very afforable as well and friends service. I'd recommend a visit if you're in the area!

    The first thing you notice about Le Lert is its bright, colorful, and full of personality décor. We ordered: * Spiced Thai Beef Tartare Citrus Miang Kham Salad: our favorite here. It's really refreshing, with Asian pear for sweetness, and crunch from the cashews and toasted coconut. The dressing really tied it all together. * Omelette Over Rice with Northern Sausage Patties: The omelette was fluffy, the sausage patties packed with spice, but the rice was a little dry for me. * Dried Khao Soi with Wagyu Beef: noodles soaked up the sauce nicely, plus the crispy noodles and lime kept it balanced. Another fun way to enjoy a good khao soi. To me, Le Lert feels like Thai food with a fun twist. It's also comforting, colorful, and full of little surprises.

    Braised pork belly

    It's been almost a year since I last came for brunch. I noticed that the menu has changed a bit with dishes renamed. We started with the mango sticky ice drink and the Asian retro drink. They were both good and I especially like the gold leaf decor in my Asian retro which has a shot of expresso, butterfly pea for a tint of blue with rose pedals and coconut foam. Pretty while getting my caffeine fix. For the mains we ordered the ocean pasta which was a creamy carbonara sauce with two giant prawns and scallops with a hint of miso and topped with nori. Perfect for sharing as it's quite filling. The second dish was the pork belly on rice with bak choy. This was a traditional dish that tasted like it should. Don't be deceived by the entrance, the restaurant has hand painted walls and is spacious and the server was attentive. Come for the ambiance, food and the many caffeine drinks that are pretty. The print on the drinks menu was a bit small but was cute in a little cue card deck. Great place with comfy seats!

    Le Lert absolutely delivered for Christmas dinner and I can't recommend them enough. Service Excellence: This is how you handle a holiday rush. The staff was kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire meal. They were upfront when there were delays (which I appreciated), consistently filled our water cups without us having to ask, and cleared our table quickly between courses. Even though they were slammed, they never once rushed us out. The Food: Everything tasted fabulous. We had the beef fried rice and the dried khao soi with wagyu beef. The dessert deserves special mention - the pink tres leches presentation alone was a treat, and eating it was even better. The server recommended how to best enjoy our dinner with the sauces they brought on the side, which showed real attention to the dining experience. Atmosphere: Beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the holiday music made it feel genuinely festive. They nailed the ambience. Bottom Line: They handled the Christmas busy-ness with ease and grace. I would 100% come back and I'm telling everyone to go. This is how a restaurant should be run.

    The place is really cool, with its neon lights and vibey decor. The service is also great - friendly and quick and helpful. The food though was hits and misses. Went there for winterlicious so maybe they didn't have their best showing. We got: - Appetizers: Mushroom spring rolls and grilled meatballs. The spring rolls were standard in taste and quality. The meatballs were overly hard-chewy and almost had an undercooked texture (even if it was not). - Main: Pad ga praow and pad thai. The pad ga praow had a really artsy egg, and the beef was pretty tasty. The pad thai was pretty standard. - Desserts: Banana brownie and coconut sorbet. Of all the courses, this was the best one. The brownie was dense and had a nice light coconut icecream on the side to balance it. The sorbet had a strong coconut flavour. Overall, an ok experience.

    Such as the pork belly avo ($20) where a silky scrambled egg omelette is covered with slices of roasted pork belly and placed on avocado toast, which is great for soaking up the other ingredients. The dish is drizzled with thinned hoisin creating a sweet and savoury flavour that's so different from the traditional salt and pepper. And for vegetarians, their vegan menu offered some of our favourite dishes of the meal. The coconut curry used in the jackfruit curry ($22) was fragrant and just flavourful enough to entice you to have one more bite. Using large chunks of the fruit, it soaked up the sauce's flavours and provided a meaty texture to the dish. It's not exactly brunch but add some of the omelette to the curry to create a hearty meal. Even though it was the last dish to arrive, the jackfruit dip ($13) could be a great starter. Jackfruit is tossed with Thai salsa, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and a chili jam, creating a flavourful concoction that's spicy, sour, and slightly sweet. It's great spooned onto the extra-large pappadums or works wonderfully as a condiment. You'll want to make sure you order the jack fruit dip and pork belly avo to go with the salmon tom-yum quesadilla ($18) as there wasn't an ounce of tom-yum in the dish. Still, the well toasted quesadilla contained a generous portion of salmon fillet, and the poached egg added a nice rich saucy element. Yet, add some of the extra smashed avocado and the jack fruit dip onto the tortilla and the dish is perfect. And for the price, it's a very big portion. The umami pasta ($26) sees spaghetti swimming in a creamy miso sauce liberally topped with tobiko. Topped with seaweed and scallop, Le Lert's not kidding when they say this is an umami laced pasta. Though I'd find it too rich for a single person, instead great for sharing.

    Great vibes inside, it felt like I was in a resort or on a cruise! The staffs were friendly but service was a bit slow. The music inside was nice, felt like a speakeasy. My friends and I tried their summerlicious menu. The cake was alright, it was a regular sponge cake with Thai iced tea poured over. The drinks were a bit overrated. The mango salad was nice, it was refreshing and tasty.

    Le Lert wasn't on my radar at all, but when I heard they were serving a Thai inspired brunch menu, I was extremely intrigued. We showed up around 11:00 on a Sunday and the place was completely empty. After a quick perusal of their menu, I decided to go with the Omelette Over Rice ("Daily relish, greens, fish roe" and I opted for the Northern Style Sausage Patties"). The food arrived a little while later and it sure looked impressive. And for the most part, it tasted just as good as it looked. The egg is cooked perfectly and it goes really well with the plentiful rice, delicious sausage patties, and zesty relish. I also asked for a hot sauce and I was given a spicy fish sauce that turned out to be delicious. I didn't really understand the point of the undressed salad on the plate, but all the components were very fresh so finishing it wasn't a problem. I'm definitely curious to try some of their dinner options, so I'm sure I'll be returning.

    We were able to easily book a table for four on a Friday evening earlier in the week for the time we wanted. When we first entered, it looked like a Daan Go (bakery) storefront, but once you go through a small hallway to Le Lert, it opens up to a much larger space. The menu offers several Thai fusion dishes and non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. We got a Thai iced tea ($8) with whipped cream, a pitcher of Singha, and a smoky Verdant (matcha-infused bourbon). For dishes, we ordered tuna ceviche, shrimp pa tong goh (Chinese donut and shrimp), super pa loh (5-spiced simmered pork belly), dried khao soi with wagyu beef, beef fried rice, and finished off with mango sticky rice. Each dish was very delicious, flavourful, good portions, and well plated. The spice rating on the menu is correct (pa oh, khao soi). We all left feeling full and had a very good experience. Service was attentive and quick, and the restaurant surprised me with a strawberry shortcake for my birthday at the end. Accessibility: there is a large family restroom without a changing table but with an automatic door opener and grab bar. The space is large enough to maneuver with accessibility devices. Public transportation is close by. Paid private and street parking are available.

    Plenty of food & fun vibe! Taro chips were too thick but dipping sauce was good. Wings were okay. Pork belly, nothing special about it. Pad Thai was not bad. Both desserts were okay. A bit disappointed that did not keep up the hype compared to their sister restaurant, Koh Lipe.

    Umami pasta
    Maggie G.

    Beautiful Thai fusion/ brunch restaurant, the place is very colourful and well decorated. Service was alright took them a while to give us a menu and water but they were attentive once we had our food. All the food and drinks here are all plated very beautifully and definitely IG worthy. We got the taro latte and matcha latte with pea flower tea. Both drinks are very aesthetically pleasing but the flavour was bland/not special and was not worth the prices. The fried rice was the only thing that stood out from everything it was fragrant, spicy and salty. It was super delicious. The umami pasta was also good but wasn't different it's a dish you can get anywhere. Food /5 Drinks /5 Service /5 Ambiance /5

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina.

Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit.

A quick Yelp check pointed me to this spot a brisk eight-minute walk from Queen Station on Yonge, and I'm so glad I made the detour instead of heading to one of my usual haunts. I was seated immediately. The place has lots of seating -- high tops, tables and booths -- and a cool, eclectic vibe: comfy chairs, interesting wall photos, eggshell light fixtures and cheerful yolk‑yellow and orange tones. Big glass windows make it a fun people‑watching spot, and the open kitchen lets you see the cooks hustling away. I ordered the classic breakfast (just over $18): two scrambled eggs -- soft and perfect -- plus herb potatoes fried in beef tallow (I swapped those for lightly dressed artisan greens). You choose your protein -- bacon, Canadian bacon, rosemary ham, chicken, or pork bangers -- and I went with the hardwood‑smoked bacon: three perfectly cooked slices. Coffee was ethically sourced, and my mochaccino hit the sweet spot -- not too sugary. All in all 10 out of 10. I plan to try their gluten free waffle next time. Extras worth noting: they offer booze, smoothies, juices, and a $4.75 "coffee bump" (1 oz of Irish cream, Kahlúa, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, or Grand Marnier). Eggs are free‑run. Service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable -- got me in and out without feeling rushed, back at my desk before 1 pm. I'll definitely be back -- next time with friends so I have an excuse to order everything on the menu. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a well‑made, comforting breakfast-anytime (and possibly a legal excuse for a midday coffee bump).
