Authentic home made curries ... Great Tom Yum Pad Thai is good Vibes are relaxed Music not too loud Fills up quick because it is a small Resturant. Staff pleasant. read more

Stumbled across this spot in search of Thai food--Nana's did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I come here as a destination, the food is excellent and the music choice is incredible. It does get a bit crowded in such a small space, but it adds a cosy and intimate ambiance. When we come here, we always get the fried chicken salad, pad thai or pad sew, and their house thai iced tea. Delicious! read more

Really fantastic meal. I saw others complain about the set up, but I had no issues. Stools were comfortable, shared table didn't feel crowded at all. Place was packed and had a fun, lively vibe. Chicken laab app - spectacular. Like, its been 3 days and I'm still thinking about it. It was sweet and salty and sour, but not saucy or greasy. Limey. Great. Beef Red curry - comes with white rice, little cubes of butternut squash and the beef was tender. The whole thing was spectacular. Last dish was ordered by my dinner mate, and i missed the name, but it was noodles and chicken and peanut sauce and maybe shallots? So so good. Service was also excellent. Guy who I think was the manager super friendly and checked in with us a few times. Will be back for sure. Wish they were open for lunch, I'd go every day. read more

I thought the papaya salad was divinely blazing hot, great start. The Pad See Ew was warm and garlicky with perfectly cooked noodles and the Pad Thai was OK. You're probably going to eat elbow-to-elbow with strangers here...it's loud and cramped...I'd probably like it more if I was feeling rowdy. read more

Been coming to Nana for a few years, just feel like quality of food is going downhill. Ma Ga Ti - too salty & the noodles were so soft, it would just break when you work in it (probably boiled for too long) Pad see ew - Salty. The chinese broccoli very bitter. Massaman Curry - Too sour. Didnt finish it. Only good dishes are the appetizers & fried rice. Pad Thai - mediocre. Expensive & small portions! Service is good. read more

Excellent cooking skills! Chicken laab is amazing, a must try. I also had the pork and crab spring rolls which were great and then my favourite thai dish, pad thai. The restaurant was busy when we got there at 7 they said it would be half an hour before a table opened, we left our number, went across the road for a drink and within 10 minutes she phoned us with an opening. It was busy all night though. We were one of the slowest tables, we didnt leave till 9.30 and every table was taken and people were still queueing to get in. If your not a fan of small spaces get a seat at the bar, the tables are not very wide, but its supposed to be thai street food, which is why they just have little tables and stools. The kitchen is so fast you can be in and out in half an hour. We just took long finishing all the cocktails, i forget what mine was called, a jukata.... Something or other but it had gin, lime, lemon, agave, soda and thai basil. Delish! Ive also done khao san road and they are just as good. The squash frites are to die for read more

After these negative reviews it seems like they have really stepped up their service game. We came in on a Friday night when the place was packed. Everything was quick and delicious from drinks to dinner. They ran out of chicken when we got there (around 8:30) but we're open to making those dishes with beef or pork instead. read more

Nana is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Toronto. Tables, plastic chairs, dishes, and utensils are exactly look alike what we use at street food stalls in Bangkok. The food tastes really Thai. Papaya salad (som tum) is the best of Thai salad in this city I have ever tried. Southern fried chicken (Laab Khai Tod) and Green curry are also excellent.Don't forget to ask for dessert despite no dessert menu. If you are lucky enough you can get special one ,sweet sticky rice with mango. read more

Food 4/5 The taste of the food is authentic and on par with khao san road. Definitely a good place to go to learn about great thai food. Service 4/5 Service was friendly, however the space is tight and dense, so I feel there's not enough staff or room to give adequate service to customers who are not low maintenance. Atmosphere 3.5/5 Place is noisy and raucous, which is good if you're into party type atmospheres. If you like quiet places for conversations this is not the place for you. Unfortunately, I prefer quieter restaurant atmospheres. Value 3/5 Food is quite expensive for what you get. If you want to stuff your face be prepared to pay around $35-$50 bucks easy. Drinks 4.5/5 Had a thai coconut mango rum cocktail. it was mind blowing. read more

Ordered Uber eats from khao San road, Yelp redirected to here. Hands down best Thai food I've had in Toronto! Pad see ew was tasty and fresh even out of the plastic container. Recommend! read more

Fresh flavours with a slow burn! We enjoyed the papaya salad, Tom yum soup and the Khao soi. Yum! Papaya salad: crunchy, fresh, piquant, nice heat Tom yum: perfect for a winters day. Nice flavours but not too salty. Lemongrass flavours shine! Khao soi: noodles bathed in creamy curry broth topped w succulent chicken. Nice contrast of smooth vs crunchy! Wish I had room for: Thai iced tea and fried chicken...next time! read more

Nana - Khao Soi! - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was yum! We went to Nana recently when it was serving its Khao San Road dinner menu (as they are bunking in together while KSR moves to a new location). Overall the group I was with was very happy! We had the 3 flavour pad thai, panang beef, and massaman tofu. All very good flavour and you could let it was freshly made, and made with care. Prices reasonable and average. I always debate rating places I really like a 4 or a 5 and 5 is quite steep, but I would definitely come back, I liked the interior colours and service, and I really liked the food! Recommended! read more

I live in the neighbourhood, and this is a regular spot in my dining out rotation. I have never had anything here I didn't like. My favourite starts are the mushroom laab and green papaya salad. Both are super spicy, fresh, and DELICIOUS! Cocktails are pricey but well made and unique; for as often as I go, I prefer to keep it cheap & cheerful with a bottle of Singa Beer. I don't eat meat, but there's lots of vegetarian (vegan, pescetarian, etc) options. Pad See Ew is my favourite, but I love each curry they make, too. They're not into modifying a lot of the dishes. Love it or leave it. But they TOTALLY know what they're doing. And many people say this is some of the MOST authentic Thai food outside of Thailand. Not a bad claim. I can't totally speak to authenticity without ever having been to Thailand, but man this food has got heart. So if the kitchen needs to protect the integrity of their dishes by drawing a deep line in the 'modification' sand, so be it. It's the kind of plates that come out and these seemingly small bowls deliver what feels like a never ending portion of delicious layers, flavour, and textures that have clearly been made with so much love. Service is consistently good, the owner's often there asking people how they've enjoyed their meal, and you can't beat the classic 90's hip hop that adds a lot of fun to the whole vibe. Yes. It's communal seating. So if you don't like communal seating, then take out may be a better opportunity for you to truly appreciate the food. I've never been sat with terrible people - some chat, some don't, (just read the signs and take cues) - but I always imagine I'm in a night market in Thailand and the vibe feels fun and right. And delicious. Oh so, so, so delicious. read more

After having spent months spoofing Torontonians with potential concepts such as God Bless 'Merica, Cakehole and New Delhi Burgers, this Queen West joint finally revealed itself to be Nana, Monte Wan (Khao San Road)'s newest venture. Khao San Road, along with the Sukho Thai were the pioneers in elevating Thai cuisine beyond your ketchup-y, chain-quality pad thai. So naturally, Wan is sticking to what he does best. The decor is reminiscent of the streets of Bangkok, with the Thai flag and various bright-colored banners hanging above. The restaurant seats about 30-35, mostly communal tables and a few seats at the bar. The cocktail menu was crafted by Bevlab and are Thai-inspired versions of your classics like the Jatujjak "jin & juice." Most of the descriptions lead me to believe they would all be syrupy concoctions, of the Karaoke bar-variety so I ask the server for the least sugar-laced one. He suggests the Bang Rak ($12), a star anise-infused vodka concoction with ginger syrup, lychee nectar and grapefruit bitters. The drink arrives at the table and perhaps my alcohol tolerance is just higher than others, but it still errs on the side of sweet and if it's the strongest drink they've got - I'm going to need a few more. Despite that, it's a delicious drink. But the Chang lager is just as good a bet, and wonderfully refreshing. Added bonus? It's only $6. Similar menu offerings from Khao San Road are seen, such as the khao soi, albeit the Nana iteration subs chicken for beef. There's pad Thai bolan, and when prompted as to what bolan means, our server tells us it simply means "authentic." We order the Southern fried chicken laab ($12) to start, an offering straight out of KFC Thailand's books. It's similar to Taiwanese popcorn chicken and I absolutely love the different combination of sweet and salty with citrus notes as well. We then order the fresh rolls with pork ($8) which are not as refreshing as their Vietnamese counterpart. The rice paper is double-layered, the presentation more sushi than fresh roll. I preferred the rolls better sans dipping sauce as it allowed you to actually taste the spices in the pork. For our mains we skip over the khao soi and red and yellow curries and opt for the Chef Top's fried rice ($16) with chicken, topped with a crispy fried egg and a side of fish sauce. The addition of basil really does add a bit more oomph to an otherwise pedestrian plate of fried rice. We also opt for the mi ga ti with pork ($15), a peanut and coconut milk based curry that reminds me of everything I don't like about restaurant Thai food - the broth is too sweet. The coconut milk drowns out any potential peanut flavoring to be had and as I ladle spoonfuls of the curry into my mouth, I can't help but think of the che dau that my grandmother used to make at home (a Vietnamese dessert of glutinous rice and black eyed beans doused with a generous ladle of coconut cream). The dishes we order aren't particular spicy, but there was a tray of chilies in all their different iterations available - fresh, dried, fried and in vinegar. We ask the staff what the "Special"roti ($8) is, but are denied any explanation beyond "I'm sworn to secrecy but I can promise you that it's good and that you'll like it." He'll have to add this deception to his list of laundry items at his next confession as we are sorely disappointed. The saltiness of the roti dominates and the little bit of condensed milk drizzle fails to save the day. If only the seasoning of the mi ga ti pork and the dessert roti could've been reversed... The server comes back to ask us if we liked his recommendation, we tell him "unfortunately not." Oh well, at least we know a portion of the proceeds will go to Meal Share. The much better bet is to go for the Thai tea gelato ($5). You get three scoops and its definitely not as sugary as the actual drink itself. While I am normally disappointed by tea-based desserts as they seldom pack in enough tea flavor - this one did not let me down. There were a few hits (mainly the chicken laab and the Thai tea gelato). But I still prefer Khao San Road - even if it means having to wait in line. read more

Very solid Thai food, not too pricy (but maybe a bit for Canadian standards). Nice selection of drinks.

Food wise, my pad see ew, was ok. Its essentially tastes like a Thai version of the Chinese fried rice noodle with beef dish. The noodle itself is slightly different. Looks like a pappardelle, but tastes like a chewier rice noodle (hor fun). The sauce, is soy sauce and oyster sauce based and cooked with chicken, egg and gai lan. I have to admit there was some good 'wok hay'. Hubby's mi ga ti with pork started off with a good tasting red curry base with the addition of ground pork and tofu. Reminded me of ma po tofu, but in a soupy curry sauce. The noodles were the thin rice noodles, and super overcooked. Overcooked to the point where if you tried to pick up the noodles with your fork the noodles would break. You essentially needed to eat this dish with a spoon. The dish also came out at borderline room temperature, too cold for my liking. My dish came out piping hot, so not sure if my hubby's dish was cooked first and left sitting until my dish was done to bring both out at the same time. read more

I had Pad See Ew and it was amazing. Big flat noodles in a somewhat sweet but very savoury brown sauce. Maybe like a teriyaki but much better. I also tried Khao Soi. It was in a big bowl in a curry-like broth with noodles. Amazing! They're doing Khao San Road lunch. I'm not sure how that differs from their regular lunch (if they even have lunch) but it was delicious and I'm in love with a new lunch spot even though this place has been here for a while. Best Thai I tried in the neighbourhood; it blows Thai Elephant out of the park. Highly recommended for Khao San Road lunch. Hopefully when that stops they're still open and equally delicious. read more

The restaurant was small- on a weeknight, I waited about 20 minutes for a table for two. Once we got our table, we were actually sharing it with another couple, eating elbow-to-elbow... and were practically a part of their conversation. Everyone had to talk over each other because it was so busy and loud. The food was good- tasted fresh and pricing was as expected. I would give this place another try- hopefully it's not as packed next time. read more

We had a party of 5 but didn't really have to wait on a week day night. We seemed out Nana because of our Khao San Road cravings. Overall I did not have a great experience and don't think I will go back. The restaurant is very small and the tables are cramped. The chairs are of cheap plastic and extremely uncomfortable. The cutlery also looked like cheap plastic but perhaps that was the theme they were going for. Overall the food was mediocre and even though they had some Khao San Road features m, it was no where close. I also found the price for an entree to be pretty pricey. read more

Nana - Chicken satay - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The host and servers at Nana are some of the most patient people in the restaurant industry! On a friday night around 8 pm, three of us ventured to Nana. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table, which turned into us showing up 30 minutes after and they had held our table for us. We then promptly became more annoying by requesting a table for 4 as we had a friend who wanted to join us. At this point, if I were a hostess, I would have been mega annoyed but they were very kind and moved us when a table became available. While we were waiting for the 4th friend, I felt terribly bad that we hadn't ordered anything so I requested the laab kai tod - southern fried chicken salad - to start. Now this is my kind of salad! Small tender pieces of perfectly seasoned fried chicken served with shallots and chilli and lime - it was honestly delectable. I was intrigued by the pad mama sai sai kok - instant noodles with hot dogs, but our server discreetly told me to go with something else (she felt that the price wasn't worth being served instant noodles) pad prik king kai - chicken stir fried in a dry red curry paste. Very, very good with a wonderful heat to it! Everyone loved their food and the service was impeccable. I will definitely be back! read more

I recently came back from Thailand and was craving some thai food, I decided on Nana after reading some positive reviews. I ordered the moo ping grilled pork skewers for appetizer, they were juicy and flavourful. For the main course, I ordered the khao soi with chicken, so good, but a little too spicy for my liking. Lastly, my favourite course - dessert! I ordered the banana pancakes with condensed milk, and of course it was amazingggg. Overall the food is quite authentic, on par with what I ate in Thailand. Price - $30-$40/pp (literally 5x's more than what i paid for in Thailand, sigh) BUT I'll definitely come back! read more

Yaaaassssss. Sister of khan san road and equally amazeballs. I had the red curry at spice level 3. Once I bit down on the chills in the dish it was the spice level I desired. Delicious and full of flavour. Love it. Eat here already. Cute atmosphere, but stupid low stool chairs are the only option for sitting. Worth it t read more

I haven't been to Khao San Road so I can't comment on whether Nana holds up to the hype of being an offshoot of such well respected Thai restaurant. But, I'm hoping it stands on its own two feet, popular parent or not. Because it was just that good. Yes, it's squashed, but they tell you that as you walk in, so you know what you are getting into! We had the pork and shrimp spring rolls which were very delicious, crispy and a salty balance of shaved pork and shrimp. I actually would have been completely satisfied with a few orders of these for my meal. But I was craving curry. For mains, the Khao Soi with Chicken was scrumptious, complete with very creamy and decadent curry based sauce. We also had the Red Curry with veggie and tofu, which was all so fragrant but killer spicy. Good spicy. I could only handle small spoon dips into the sauce. If you only have a light tolerance for the heat (like me), stick with a milder dish. They mean it when they say this is the hottest dish! Overall, we'll come back. It's worth the squeeze and probably worth the wait now that there are line ups. read more

I am a big fan of Nana and have eaten there a number of times. The restaurant is small and the vibe is loud which I enjoy. I have samples a few different dishes on the menu but always seem to end up getting the Khao Soi and adding a little bit of roasted chilli to bump up the spice level. The Khao Soi is the perfect amount of food for me, but some of the other dishes are a little smaller. I would suggest getting an appetizer to share if you are very hungry. read more

So I booked a reservation here and was told it was confirmed. I went to see a movie before my reservation and when I got out I had four missed calls and several messages from the restaurant trying to get in touch with me. The final message stated that my reservation was to be canceled despite us walking there. When I finally got a chance to call I was told there would be no problem, but when I arrived I was lectured by the man there who told me he tried to call and that I "should've called back". I explained the situation but he barely listened. They then seated us at a table with a couple who just sat down. We left at that point so I have no comment on the food, just crappy service. Be aware that if you make a reservation here you're expected to answer their calls within hours of your reservation or it'll be canceled. read more

The decoration ,table and chairs have a Thailand street vendor kind of feeling, which js pretty cool Servers are awesome, appetizer delicious . Maindish not bad but not particularly outstanding(curry fried rice and pad Thai is awesome!) overall a nice place to have dinner with friends, will definitely come back again read more

Great food and amazing staff. Their Pad-se-ew is definitely the best. read more

Went here on sat night and it was quite busy. Shared the chicken pad thai, chicken fried rice, egg noodle soup. The food is quite good much better than your average thai restaurant. food was prob 9/10. Atmosphere 6/10. very cramp and loud and busy. Value 5/10. Service 8/10. Dont kid yourself, this place is very pricey. 80$ for 3 ppl. Portion is normal too fit for one person. One dish is the equalivent of two pad thai's at thai express and its marginally better quality. atmosphere is for hipsters. 70-80s music running in background. doesnt match the thai theme. chairs are uncomfortable. Overall good to try since its related to Khao san road restaurant but not a regular place to go repeatedly. read more

I had the mi ga ti with pork (red curry with vermicelli). In hindsight, my friend and I should have ordered small dishes from their appetizer menu. Wins: great flavours; good portion of bean sprouts/pork/tofu; great decor/location Things that could use improvement: $15 is the standard 'flat rate' for all their dishes, which I found a bit much for the portion of noodles given. read more

Went here with my family on a busy Friday night . Of course we had reservations and were given a super tiny table. It wasn't very comfortable at all. The food made up for it big time. Chicken pad Thai and Khao soi was delicious. The green curry was spot on. The ambience was fun and lively and service was attentive. Sure I'll visit again, probably not with family read more

Overall experience was okay. We got there at 9pm on a Saturday and it was packed so we left our name and number with the host, who said it shouldn't be longer than 30 mins. After waiting 45 mins with no phone call we went back to Nana and saw tables open. The host said she had called us (not true) but there was no answer. We ordered right away but were disappointed to find out that they were out of spring rolls, the khao soi AND the pad see ew. We ended up sharing the southern fried chicken laab (so delicious) and satay grilled chicken (decent) and I had the red Thai curry as my entree (also delicious). I probably won't be back. Would rather go to Khao San road or Sukho Thai. read more

if i could give a 0 i would, i can't even begin to explain how upset and absolutely disgusted i am with the training of the staff. i have been going to khao san road since it first opened in Toronto at Peter and Adelaide. i have always raved and recommended them to all friends and family. when they split and PAI was opened i proceeded to go there. a friend insisted that Nana is cozier and i should try it out. we came here last month and i had a wonderful meal - definitely wanted to return. last night i returned with another friend excited to have a great meal. i ordered pad gra pao and pad thai - requesting for no bean sprouts and NO PEANUTS - SINCE IT'S AN ALLERGY. now some can argue that someone with a severe allergy should take caution when eating at a thai restaurant. fortunately for me it isn't and again i have been eating at khao san and PAI since they opened in Toronto - the owners would definitely recognize me and say hi. they have ALWAYS taken allergies seriously. the server immediately argued that no moderations could be made, to which i respond they do. since i have already had a meal here previously and they definitely do take allergies into consideration. the very fact that i had to repeat myself 2x stating that it's an ALLERGY NOT A PREFERENCE already had me irritated. she said okay and put in our order. our food came and i started eating - 3 minutes in my friend told me to stop as she felt there were peanuts in the pad thai. my throat starting itching and we were very nervous. that same server came to check on us TWICE which i felt was very old ... we decided i wouldn't eat the pad thai since we were unsure. finally my friend asked the same server to take it to the kitchen to check. by now my throat definitely felt tight and was slowly closing. she disappeared and 10 minutes later came very concerned ... she started apologizing. her excuse - SHE FORGOT TO PUT IN PEANUT ALLERGIC AND THE KITCHEN HAD MADE THE PAD THAI WITH A SMALLER PORTION OF PEANUTS. how stupid could you be? i really don't know how that's a valid excuse when your patron informs you that it's an ALLERGY. i am still shocked - do not hire employees and NOT TRAIN THEM TO BE CONSIDERATE AND MINDFUL OF YOUR PATRONS FOOD ALLERGIES. she should not be on the floor. i made sure she knew how serious this was - she was VERY lucky i wasn't on the floor dying from my throat closed off preventing me from breathing. needless to say i got up and left. i will not be returning to Nana or khao san. i definitely expect more especially when i have NEVER EVER had an issue all my past visits. i am writing this so that if you are someone with a mild allergy - i would not be confident coming here, take caution or simply chose another restaurant. read more

Tried this place last week, being a huge fan of everything KSR has to offer. Started with the pork and crab spring rolls, which were delicious. They were crispy, and the meats combined together really well. The dipping sauce added the perfect amount of heat. For the main dish, I had the Pad Thai. Overall, it was okay. There was too much fish sauce, overpowering the other flavours of the dish. Adding chili flakes helped improve the flavours tremendously. It was busy when we arrived (group of three) but we did get a table to ourselves. It's a pretty small space, so the restaurant gets crowded and loud very quickly. Service was okay. Due to being packed, servers weren't as attentive as they could have been, but they can't be faulted for having a lot of people to serve. They were friendly, answered our questions and got the orders right. All in all, it was a good meal. read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 3/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Arrived Friday night when they opened at 6pm and by 7pm, the restaurant was almost full but no line ups. We ordered the green curry chicken and pad thai. I really enjoyed the pad thai, it was so fragrant and I loved how it came with a variety of hot sauces to choose from. The green curry was good too, but too much mint leaves for me. Definitely prefer Nana's pad thai, but khao san's green curry. (Pai still wins on the green curry out of the 3) The thai iced tea was good too, but tasted the same as khao san and pai. Our service was mixed between a really sweet waitress and a not-too-pleasant one, but overall it was fine. The decor and 'furniture' aka plastic stools brought me back to the streets of Thailand, so I loved it! But I can see how it could be uncomfortable for some. Will be back for the pad thai! read more

Food: Pad See Ew: very tasty. It had a very good balance between sweet and salty. I also loved the thick noodles. (Exactly the same dish as Khao San Road) Banana Roti: not a fan of bananas but the roti it self was very good. Chewy but also crispy, very well balanced with the condensed milk. Service: Not super attentive and it did took a while for the food to come, but still acceptable and friendly for the most part. read more

It was delicious and I was super pumped that I could have lunch with my vegan and everyone got to eat something they liked! read more

Nana - Has cute bunting - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is ok. The decor/environment is fun and corny. The place is full of young cool people indulging in Thai street food. I thought the food was good... But greasy and the flavors were kind of off. The red curry was a but too spicy (ordered a 6) and it lacked depth and richness. This is a good place to go with friends when you are in a budget! read more

Amazing food, but poor atmosphere/service. Good if you want a quick bite, but not the place if you want to have a relaxed dinner and not feel pressured to leave. read more

Do not hesitate to come here, the food is amazing and the owners are always nice. This is the sister restaurant of Kaho San Road, what I believe to be the nexus of all this Thai Food hype in Toronto. Must Try: Thai Boat Noodles- Truly a provocative bowl of soup which introduced flavors my pallet has never tasted before. Dark rich and complex broth thickened with cows blood plus the abundance of 5 different types of beef really makes this dish unforgettable. Chicken Grad Pao- There is a friend chicken frenzy in the Toronto food scene and these little nuggets of chicken are an explosion of flavor which will not cease to impress. The reason why I give it 4 stars is simply because the price you pay is a premium, and having been to Thailand the decor reminds one of street vendors and open markets, but the price does not. read more
