Food was great. It is more of a take out place though. 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. read more

If you're looking for delicious, authentic Thai food, look no further than this hidden gem! Phat Kaphrao offers a range of Thai dishes beyond the typical curries and pad thai to delight your taste buds. I had the Khao Man Gai (chicken on fried rice) during my recent visit. The chicken was soft and tender, and the accompanying sauce had a strong ginger taste that made the dish stand out. I appreciated that it was boneless, which made it very easy to eat. My friends tried the Phat Kaphrao (Stir fried meat with rice) and Padthai, both very fragrant and fresh. One thing I noted was how friendly and helpful the restaurant personnel were. They were happy to answer our questions, offer chilli oil on the side, and even recommended the level of spiciness for our dishes. I ordered mine medium-spicy, which had just the right amount of heat for my taste. The restaurant was small, with only four seats. We were lucky because we did not know about it but could still dine in. Most people ordered takeout instead. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and would recommend Phat Khaphrao to anyone looking for authentic and flavourful Thai food. I can't wait to return and order more dishes, this time to go! read more

This take out joint is SUCH a hidden gem! It's a very small store but packs a big punch with its flavours. Ordered the pad see ew and pineapple fried rice. I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had and it was so authentic. It was yummy from the first to last bite. The staff was all very nice and attentive when I went to pick up the food as well. Sad that they don't have any dine in options available because I would love to eat their dishes fresh off the wok. The taste was still great despite being takeout and sitting in the car through a 15 mins drive. I highly recommend stopping by to try their menu out, they have a great variety of dishes and surely won't disappoint. read more

I was planning a trip to the Yorkdale area and I wanted to try out an eatery somewhere around there, and I'm always into Thai, so Phat Kaphrao was definitely a no-brainer. I called them up, placed my order, and showed up about 15 minutes later to grab the food. (As an aside, this takeout-only spot reminded me a little of the small joints I saw everywhere during a trip to Hong Kong several years back, so that was nifty.) This being the first time I tried the place, I had to sample their take on Pad Thai: the Traditional Street Style Pad Thai ("rice noodles stir-fried with beansprouts, green onion & eggs in our special tamarind sauce with peanuts & cilantro"), which I ordered with chicken and requested extra spicy. It's a decent variation on the venerable Thai dish. I can't say I was blown away by the flavors - the whole thing felt a little one-note somehow - but it was definitely much, much better than many other versions I've had. (It didn't have that sickly-sweetness that I associate with bad Pad Thai, for example.) I'll admit I was a little disappointed by the lack of spice, however, although, to be fair, the extremely nice employee did include a couple containers of hot sauce. We also tried the Spicy Papaya Salad ("green papaya, green bean, tomato, peanuts, lime, shrimp paste & thai chillies") and it's pretty darn good. It was perhaps a little too heavy on the fish sauce, but the various other components all worked really well together and I enjoyed the periodic bursts of intense spiciness from the Thai chilies. read more

Service - service was quick. Receptive and friendly. Very attentive to order details! Food- ordered enough for 2-3 to split and try everything we wanted. We got the street style pad Thai - 4/5. It was probably the best thing we ordered to go. The next was green curry vegetable (upsized)3/5 very flavourful with flavourful curry spices and a balanced coconut flavour, but nothing too overpowering. We also ordered taro chips and chicken wings (which were nothing special). I found that the taro chips were lacking flavour, a little over fried but good for picking at. Parking- right in front. It's. Take-Out joint so no need to linger! Would come back for pad Thai! read more

Calling all Thai lovers, this is a must try if you're in the North York area. This newly opened restaurant is a family run spot that serves up amazingly delicious home cooked Thai food. I came by to check out this place a few days after their grand opening and all I can say is wow. Chef joe, his fiancé Lisa, and chef Francis are super friendly who despite being super busy preparing take out orders, took the time to chat to get to know us better. Really mom and pop shop vibe as if you were going to their house for dinner. We left this homey restaurant with our belly's so full. We ordered the street style beef pad Thai, chicken phat kaphrao, mango salad, and mango sticky rice. Everything we order was so good! I would strongly suggest the pad Thai. The flavour would be on par with Pai downtown. However, the beef was a bit chewy but still really good. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavour had a really nice balance between sweet and sour. Highly recommended. I've never had holy basil before and to be honest, had no idea what it was. Gave it a shot since the restaurant is named after this dish. Definitely did not disappoint at all. It's a rice stir fry with chicken and it added a nice texture and sauce to the rice. I would recommend this as well. If you're a fan of mango salad, this will knock your socks off. The fish sauce that chef joe uses in this was something that I never had anywhere else. I asked him what he used but he mentioned it was a house special. Check that out, super refreshing. The mango sticky rice was good, although some more mango would have been the cherry on top. The sticky rice had lots of coconut flavour and when mixed with the condensed milk. Unreal. Great way to end off the meal with some dessert. The Thai ice tea and coconut smoothie were so damn good as well. Coconut smoothie was very coconutty with little coconut chunks. The Thai ice tea was really tasty, not too sweet or overpowered by the Thai tea. Thai ice tea is currently 50% off as well, can't go wrong with that. Looking forward to trying the curries and also the Thai chicken wings the next time I visit (chef joe said this has been the most common besides the pad Thai and holy basil). read more

I'm usually a tough critic when it comes to my asian cuisine (mainly because I'm asian and grew up eating everything in the Asian culture) but this newly opened Thai restaurant was exceptional (to say the least) and is now my new go to spot. I heard about this restaurant thanks to my client who owns a bakery in the neighbourhood. The dangerous part about this whole thing is I'm from the east end of Scarborough so it's not exactly anywhere near me. But if you're reading this for confirmation on whether or not you should try this place out, my answer is that I will gladly drive here anytime I'm in the mood for Thai food and will bring some friends and family when I do. The quality in the food and preparation was well done. Joe and Lisa are a lovely couple and if you ever want to test their passion for hospitality just ask about what's on their menu. Excellent service from the moment I walked in until I walked out. They were very welcoming and I had a great time chatting with them that I ended up dining in my take-out that I ordered! The portions are perfect and the menu has something for everybody. I will be sure to call Joe and Lisa for catering in my next work event. I'm excited for the both of them and I can't wait to see how their little restaurant evolves. Ps. If you're not sure what to order, sip on some Coconut Shake while you browse through their menu. And for starters, make sure you try their Thai Chicken Wings (spicy cashews) you'll be happy you did! read more

Ordered the following: Chicken wings, $10.95 (8 pcs). Pad Thai, $12.95 plus $2 chicken extra. Pad See Ew, $12.95 Pop, $1.50. Pad Thai did not taste like Pad Thai at all! I didn't taste the tamarind in it. The Pad See Ew looked more like the Pad Thai I normally eat. It actually tasted a bit flavourful than the Pad Thai. The wings were meh, too dark for my preference; might be fried in old oil. The yellow sauce that came with it was ok. This resto/take-out joint is a real disappointment! Their prices are too high for what they offer: bland carbs, 5 pcs of broccoli, 5 pieces of rectangular tofu and the extra $2 for the chicken was not worth it. It is not even a restaurant. No seating. No washroom. I am quite suspicious about the 5/4star ratings here. After eating their fare, it felt like a joke. Their rendition is not a good representation of Thai food. Not recommended. read more

I'm happy to have tried this new Thai place as it satisfied my craving for Thai food in the area and I wanted to try something other than my usual go to place Eat BKK Thai. It's a small place that's better suited for take out rather than dining in as there's only bar seating for 4 people by a window. I didn't mind at all since I like these cute ma and pa type places. The prices were really reasonable when we looked at the menus again in front of the register. We reheated the food at home (except for the taro fries since those were eaten during the drive) since we live more than half an hour away but everything still tasted really good. We ordered the street style pad thai, which was good but could have used a bit more tamarind flavour. The green curry was done well - creamy, flavourful curry with a nice bit of heat to it. The hot and sour soup was also really good - loved the spices in it and it was one of the best versions I've tasted. The taro fries were fried well with a good crisp to it and filling as an appetizer. My husband and I were happy with the portions as the pad thai and curry were enough for lunch the next day as well. The one con was the wait time since it was slightly more than half an hour wait time. They got really busy when we arrived since it was prime dinner time on a weekend - we realized after that we should have called ahead. They also had to remake the pad thai for us as they had put peanuts in it, though we had asked for no peanuts to begin with due to an allergy. They offered us a free Thai iced tea to apologize for the wait and it was a good version of it but probably would have been better with less ice. Definitely give this new Thai place a try! I already know that I'll be back when I'm in the area again! read more

Phat, an abbreviation that = (P)retty (H)ot (A)nd (T)empting. For example, this place is Phat! I came here after seeing this place pop up on BlogTO, and the food did not disappoint. I had their coconut curry with chicken and the flavours were popping! Every spoon full of curry was phat = pretty hot and tempting. I also really liked the staff they are friendly with their thank you's and smiles. And whomever runs cash need a raise, she has great customer service skills! The only thing I wish they had was more seating. The place only has stool seating and no tables but that's okay. P.S. If you like Pai, the Thai place downtown this place is equal or better! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out. We ordered cashew chicken wings, spicy thai beef salad, pad thai, holy basil, and a thai ice tea. The cashew chicken wings were incredibly oily, and we're coated in this thick sweet sauce. It honestly kind of tasted like honey garlic wings from pizza hut. The thai beef salad had a good balance of acidity and spice, making it a relatively refreshing dish for an overall heavy meal. The holy basil was the only saving grace. The chicken and rice mixed together was very fragrant. Overall, their dishes are more salty and oily than expected. read more

Amazing selection of food. Taste authentic. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Thai food. Also the mango sticky rice dessert is a must try :). read more

Phat Kaphrao is a class-apart Thai takeout joint. I'm so glad I decided to try their food this Friday. 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. read more

Saw the good reviews for the place so decided to come. Didnt realize it was a tiny shop with tiny seating area , but that was fine and added to the coziness. The food overall was decent, however we thought the prices were too high, especially for Thai/asian homestyle food. read more

The staff were very warm and friendly! The curry was delicious with fresh ingredients. The food was tasty however BKK is tastier. There is only one bar to sit at and eat so the place is more of a take out spot. The prices are very steep- everything is prices before protein add on so be careful however the quantity is quite decent. I would probably opt for another place given that there are more tastier Thai food places and cheaper. read more

Tried the pad thai, phat kaphrao, and deep fried tofu. The tofu was excellent, beautifully fried with an excellent chili sauce. Pad thai was above average compared to many pad thais I've had. Phat Kaphrao was also fantastic, felt like it came out of a street stall in Bangkok. Definitely will be coming back. read more

This meal was delicious! We ordered for pick up and the experience went well. Staff was very friendly. We ordered the chicken spring rolls, mango salad, chicken green curry, street style pad thai and coconut rice. DELICIOUS!!! The portions were generous and allowed for a second meal on our order. Didn't give them 5 stars because of 2 points I will mention, the mango salad could have been more flavourful. The mangos were too ripe making it too soft so the salad came out more sweet than tart. We also wish the prices were a bit cheaper because this is the main reason we won't be rushing back. That said, it's just our opinion. read more

Street style pad thai that I had was one of the best in Toronto, one I could compare to those of Khao San Road, Pai, and Sala (all of whom I consider gold standards for Toronto Thai food). Soup, papaya salad, and mango sticky rice all well made and very satisfying. This is probably the very first time I've had a Thai Iced Tea for which the tea was a main component of flavour and not an afterthought drowned in orange sugary milk water. My girlfriend and I have already decided to return for the wings, the newly added khao man gai, and of course the restaurant's namesake dish. It's abundantly clear how much these folks are focused on the quality and authenticity of their food. Addictingly delicious, it comes highly recommended. read more

This joint is killing it. You gotta eat here. Honest young entrepreneurs with a flair for flavour. We had all but given up on exciting Thai food in North York, until we discovered Phat Kaphrao. On our fifth visit the other night we got the Khao Soi ( wife says as good as the ones she had in Thailand ) PadThai ( so pedestrian elsewhere ) and then a Green Curry ( wow!!!) and a Cashew Chicken Stir Fry and a Mango Salad. Every dish a winner. Bursting with fresh spice and vegetables. Our grown kids were over and they know food and Thai specifically. They all had seconds. Licked the plates clean. Would recommend you call or order online for take out. And impress your friends and family alike. Take credit for discovering this gem tucked away at Bathurst and Lawrence among the kosher eateries. read more

We found our new go-to for Thai food (street style) especially if you're in North York/Midtown area. Newly opened a month ago, right on Bathurst so parking was a slight challenge, but for good food, we don't mind spending a little time looking for parking on the side streets. Ok, so what's inside this little gem? Mainly designed for take-out, not many too seats when waiting for your food and you can feel the heat from the kitchen, but it's a nice cozy place so we were ok with that since we weren't planning to eat there anyways. Staff were super friendly and smiley! We unwraped the food 30 minutes later and the food was still hot and fragrant! I like my food hothothot! We started off with the Thai Chicken Wings (with Cashews) and it was more on the sweeter side for me, but I loved it especially with the cashews! Then came the Thai Beef Salad which had a good kick to it, be very careful since there are lots of hidden underneath the need. The portion was good that we didn't need to order another protein dish to go with our Pad Thai. Their Traditional Street style Pad Thai was a little bland and came with lemon instead of lime (not sure if this was on purpose), but the appetizers tasted better and had more flavour.This is a great start for them and i will definitely come back and try the rest of the food on their menu! read more

This is my new go-to Thai takeout place! The food was pretty quick and every dish was absolutely great! 1) Cashew chicken wings These wings were soooo tasty and flavourful! I love the sauce, kind of sweet and savoury and the cashews are delicious. 2) Phat Kaphrao (holy basil) This is their most popular dish and for good reason! It has some heat to it so if you can't handle spicy foods, make sure to tell the chef and he can adjust it! It was so fragrant and addicting! 3) Garlic stir fry This had a great garlicy sauce and the chicken and vegetables were cooked well! 4) Thai style omelette This omelette didn't stand out compared to the other dishes but it was still quite yummy 5) Green curry This curry was so rich in flavour. I definitely recommending adding a coconut rice with it because the sweetness really compliments the curry! 6) Thai tea Their Thai tea was 50% off when I went and it was sweet and refreshing! Overall 5/5! The chef and staff were so nice! Definitely coming back! read more

Ordered this during the holidays from uber eats. I got the street style pad thai and the penang curry. I thought they were both decent, but no way as good as Pai or Khao San Road.

It is Thai food alright, nothing I haven't tasted before. Prices comparable to sit down restaurant, you would think when you pay extra for meat they would give you enough.
