I will say I find the food not as flavourful when you ask for mild as the spice-level. I find medium and up to taste better. My most favorite dishes are the lamb shank massaman, pad Kee Mao, pad si ew, and Isaan tom yum pad Thai. There is still so much more I haven't got a chance to try yet. Service & ambiance: Staff are very kind and give good customer service. There are tables that can accommodate groups of up to 6 people.

A Michelin guide Thai restaurant in Fairview Mall. The restaurant feels like you're eating at a…read morefood court since the "indoor patio" dining section is quite literally inside the mall, so there's people walking around as you eat. It's a different type of Thai food known as Isan food which is more salty than sweet from central Thailand. The flavours here are definitely interesting with lots of different textures in their food. Here's what we got: Tum Lao 3/5 - A refreshing salad with papaya, garlic, chili, tomato and green beans. The raw green beans was what threw me off in this dish. Tum Khaopod Kaikem 3.5/5 - Another refreshing salad wbut with salted egg, corn, peanut, garlic, chili, tomato, dried shrimp, and green bean. This was sweet from the corn. Pad Woonsen Cha Om with Minced Pork 3.5/5 - Stir fried glass noodles with egg, garlic and acacia leaves. It's okay and great for sharing. Larb Ped (Duck) 1/5 - This was so bland and unfortunately we had to send it back for some salt or seasoning. Even after it got brought back out there wasn't much taste to it so would probably skip. Pork Jowl 3/5 - This was good with a nice bounce to the pork jowl. Glass Noodle Soup Pot 3/5 - Another dish that I thought was just okay and a tad bland. Seafood Soup 4/5 - This was probably the best thing I had there. Great presentation, good flavour and good for sharing. Overall. the meal fell short for me with a lot of dishes being bland or not to my liking. We also had to flag wait staff down a lot of the times since they were so busy and no one really checked in with us.

However, I found that the Pad kra pao was quite oily and the sauce was a bit too strong. The rice it came with was very sweet and coconutty which I kinda liked but it got heavy near the end.

The staff were extremely nice and quick with their service. The restaurant was very long and had a surprising amount of tables with lots of Thai decor. We ordered the following: Green curry with brown rice 7/10 - chose tofu as protein and it was very good, flavourful coconut curry with lots of vegetables - $18 Khao Soi 9/10 - Egg noodles with beef and a golden coconut curry, very flavourful and filled with lots of onions and green + red peppers. Very tasty and presentation was on point - $21 Thai iced tea 7/10 - a little too sweet for my liking but still pretty good - $4.5 Golden sweet potato fritters 8/10 - loved the texture for this, almost like fries but fright in a light batter. Came with sweet and sour dipper sauce too - $14 Overall I thought the food was very good, and portion sizes were good as well, we ended up taking home most of the sweet potato fritters because we were too full to finish! total spent was about $75 after tax and tips

I've only ever ordered Maya Bay for delivery before, so this was my first time actually dining in…read more Right away, I noticed that the dine in portions are much bigger than what you get through delivery, which was a nice surprise. We ordered the calamari, pad thai, and pad see ew. Unfortunately, the calamari was a miss for us. The rings were really large and chewy, with no tentacles, and we ended up not finishing it. The pad thai and pad see ew, on the other hand, were pretty solid. Both were flavourful, satisfying, and the portions were very reasonable for the price, especially for Toronto. Service was good and quick, and everything came out fast. Aside from the calamari, I'd still recommend giving Maya Bay a try, especially if you're going for the noodles rather than the appetizers.

Phat Kaphrao is a class-apart Thai takeout joint. I'm so glad I decided to try their food this…read moreFriday. I ordered Tom Kha soup, Chicken Satay and Curried Pad Thai. First of all, their portions could give any other restaurant run for money - superbly generous. Tom Kha soup was full of flavour and a comforting dish in itself. One soup can easily give 2 generous bowls for 2 adults. Chicken Satay was my husband's favourite out of everything. It was juicy and came along with delish peanut sauce. I liked Curried Pad Thai a lot as it was light and not full of oil like regular Pad Thai. Besides the base was green curry, so a very welcome change from the usual stuff. The place was spick and span but has limited seating. I'll suggest doing a takeout instead. I don't have any pictures to share as I couldn't control myself and literally dived straight in. All of this was in $40 which made two people extremely full. Worth for money and full marks for taste. Marking it as favourite. Follow @mygourmetaffair on IG for more Toronto-based finds.

Food was great. It is more of a take out place though…read more Lots of food, but I recommend the lunch specials as you get a soup and rice. So for lunch specials, we had a pot Thai and massaman curry and holy basil curry. Regular dishes, we got glass noodles, basil, eggplant, yellow, curry, and taro fries I would definitely get the lunch specials again, the glass noodles and taro fries If you're in the neighbourhood it's definitely worth going to. I'm glad I went.

Came to Bangkok Garden for their lunch buffet, which for its price is amazing to try out what this…read moreplace can offer. Their tasting menu is basically like a food court's or beginner's guide to Thai food, with classics like green, yellow, red curry as well as phad see eew noodles, pad thai, and a noodle soup station. Overall, this is a very popular and optional place to bring people new to Thai and vegetarians (as they have a pretty good veggie selection); however, some of the food definitely could have been hotter. The reason why I mention "for people new to Thai food" is due to some missing classics like papaya salad, mango sticky rice, fried banana blossom, pad kra pao, etc. and the flavor profile was on the more gentle side instead of the strong punchy basil or saucy dishes and the spice level is mild at most compared to what other Thai places offer in Toronto. This could just be a regional or personal preference so YMMV. Of what we sampled, the pad see eew noodles, their meats section including various chicken dishes, the spring roll, and banana fritters were very delicious. With their fish curry and fried rice being my favorite. We did order a Thai Ice Tea just to try and it was the right amount of concentration and sweetness. It wasn't too much ice (like in Thailand) or too sweet in some other Thai places downtown. It was a perfect balance for Toronto. This place is very well decorated, with an indoor koi fish pond and lots of seating: front of house with 8-10 plus 4 bar seating, inside the main area has several platforms totaling 30-50 seats and a mezzanine floor for privacy with another 30+. The whole place probably could handle 80+ in a combination of seated 2+ person tables and bench seating. It doesn't look like it is wheelchair accessible, YMMV. This place does fill up super fast, get here within the first 45-60 mins of the lunch buffet or make a reservation ahead of time. They seem to have lots of office workers, hotel guests/tourists, students, and some regulars. Definitely visit if you are in the area, it is very much worth a try. Would be bringing any vegetarians and friends to try this great deal in the future as well as trying their regular a la carte options for lunch or dinner.

I wa always drove past it but their fairly new store sign caught my attention, so wanted to check it out. I decided to try the chicken red curry, as its not too spicy and just a mild kick with it. The curry was quite solid, creamy and thick, and filled with flavour. Also, ordered a rice, which is unfortunately excluded from the curry. Then, tried the beef pad see ew to share which overall tasted delicious - coated in a savory-sweet soy sauce and tender crispy veggies ( broccoli, carrots etc.) The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming -- perfect for a casual family meal. The price range is solid between $15 to $20 per dish. If you love authentic Thai food, this spot is absolutely worth checking out

I found their portion size to be very little, but the taste was really good for the paad kee mao, good texture on the noodles wishes it was a bit more spicier. The basil fried rice was really good I think that was the best thing I tasted here. The green curry was way too sweet, there was not enough spice to it. The jasmine rice was flavourful. The service was good staff were friendly and the owner or worker took a picture of my family with my daughter. It is a nice small family restaurant but I think khao san rao is still the top place for Thai food.

MAKE A RESERVATION. The servers were attentive, kind, helpful and very sweet. The decor was nice and restaurant was clean. The food was delicious and our server even made a special spiced oil for hubby even though their regular chili oil was fantastic. He just felt the flavours he created would be better on hubby's meal. He was right! And we packed the tiny bit leftover to take home. We suggested they bottle it and sell it:) Parking on street or lot close by. Desserts were unique and delicious. Staff ensured I ordered items that were gluten free and told me which could be made dairy free to suit my dietary needs Massage section was not open yet.

I did have to find street parking since they did not have parking which was expected since it is around midtown. Service was exceptional, the waitress kept coming to check up on us and made sure everything was going well. The interior was nicely decorated with modern decor. So the tower came with Fried Papaya Salad, sticky rice, Laap Salmon, Garlic Pork ribs, Thai style steak, and Grilled Lobster. I thought everything was quite mediocre to be honest. The Papaya Salad was supposed to be crispy but it really wasn't and was more chewy. The flavor was pretty good. It had a good tang but the texture was just off. The Laap Salmon was decent but just a bit too tangy for my own taste buds. I think they overdid it with the lemon. They came with Taro chips and those were excellent and crispy. The Garlic Pork ribs was the only exception. it was phenomenal. It was very flavorful and fall off the bone tender. The steak was cooked well but it wasn't seasoned well enough. It tasted so bland. The Grilled Lobster wasn't fresh at all which was so disappointing. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing meal. I don't think I would come back again.
