Super yummy Thai food! Pretty big portions and very authentic flavours. The Goong Pear was my favourite!
I like the boat noodles at Wang Lang, but this time we decided to switch it up. We got: * Soob Hang Wua (oxtail soup) * Goong Pae (baby shrimp fritters) * Kob Tod Prik Gluer (frog legs): a perfectly fried, coated in flavour dish, and the fragrance alone had me wanting to eat right away instead of letting my phone eat first (iykyk). Miang Saba (the whole mackerel dish): it was my favourite of the night. The fish itself is beautifully seasoned, and even without the dipping sauce, it tastes amazing on its own. * Coconut Pandan Ice Cream * Kanom Krok Mango Sticky Rice And if you don't know what to order, they also have chef's selected menus for two people or for bigger groups. Super helpful. You can also join their Loyalty Club to collect points and enjoy exclusive offers Service is still amazing. The staff checked on us constantly even when it was a busy night for them.
My friend had this place before and really raved about it and luckily there was a chance where we were able to come here for dinner. We fortunately did not need to wait for a table as we got it and was seated right away. Among the table of 4, we shared the goong pae (fried baby shrimp) and the pad gra pao chicken for myself. I thought both were good. The pad gra pao was not as salty as I expected compared to other places that I have tried. I was impressed with the goong pae. It was crunchy and hot and paired well with the sweet vinegar it came with. I have to say that I am glad I got to try this place out but it is not something I would venture out to get again. Ambiance was very detailed!
When you enter the place, the decor is so nice. Blend of modern and traditional. Neon at the entrance, more cozy vibes inside. Went as a group of 4 and was able to try so many different things. Kor Moo Yang, grilled pork jowl Muek Yang, grilled squids stuffed with minced pork Yum Salmon, raw salmon salad with fish sauce Tiew Ruer, wagyu boat noodle Pad Cha Talay, seafood stir-fry with rice Nuer Toon Mor Fai, slow-cooked beef innards Kanom Krok Kaow Neow Ma Muang, mango sticky rice Ice cream (Lod Chong, coconut milk and pandan noodles) Though we ordered a lot, the service was quite fast and efficient. We received all of our food surprisingly quick. Everything was seasoned to perfection, with a good mix of flavours ranging from tangy, spicy, herbal/lemony bright, umami... Their "spicy" is actual spicy, btw. Not toned down, which I enjoyed! My fav was the plump stuffed squid. Reminded me of Korean squid soondae. Close second was the pork jowl. So tender and a good balance of salty and fatty. Mmm can't wait to be back!
Really awesome newish Thai restaurant located just west of the core. Really really enjoyed their boat noodles, pat sew, fried shrimp, and pork jowl. Service was excellent and the restaurant is nicely renovated. I think I heard the service speaking. Mostly everything felt pretty authentic, especially having just come back from a Bangkok trip last year. Would visit again!
Admittedly, I don't have much experience with Thai restaurants outside of the usual downtown spots like Pai and Khao San Road, ordering the usual stuff like pad Thai or Khao Soi. Wang Lang offers quite a different menu, with dishes like boat noodles, salad with a heap of raw sliced salmon, or a plate of pork jowl. Service was excellent and the ambiance was on point. They even have an "outdoor" area where you get to stare at a decorated wall which is pretty cute.
The reviews have been quite positive for this restaurant and now I see why. It doesn't have the same hype as others iykyk. The flavours are definitely on point as the spice levels are also just right. If you can handle heat, don't be hesitant with anything that has 2-3 chili peppers on the menu. My favourite dish was the soft shelled crab in red curry sauce. I could've inhaled the entire portion myself. Since I was sharing. I had to hold back. We tried the pad see ew and boat noodles. Both were pretty solid dishes. For starters, we tried the fried crab, shrimp, and chicken wrapped with bean curd. We also ordered the grilled pork jowl. The dipping sauce was spicy perfection. I thought the service was attentive enough without us having to ask for anything. A couple of suggestions: I would turn down the air conditioning. We were freezing and it really didn't have to be so cold. Save money! Another suggestion would be to serve dishes immediately. The noodle dishes were piping hot but sadly, the red curry soft shelled crab wasn't even lukewarm. They all came at the same time. The temperature difference was extreme. Overall, I'd say the portions are somewhat smaller than other Thai restaurants. The prices are a tad higher. I would still come back to try other dishes.
This place tastes better than the food I had in Thailand. I feel like their pad sew ew is comparable to Nana, and pad thai is more saucy than Pai. Best part... they don't have much of a line up: wait time!
Oh my, amazing food here. Portions were huge, their food was delicious. Service was impeccably fast and on point. The place looked great and it was clean. Did I mention we didn't have any reservation but we were seated right away on a Saturday night? 100% recommend this place.
Great Thai food. Wasn't expecting the variety of dishes and the flavours, such a lovely surprise and great food. Each dish was exceptional and flavourful.
Had an amazing lunch at Wang Lang and honestly, it was one of those experiences where everything just lined up right. Their menu goes beyond what you'd usually find at typical Thai spots, and it pays off. The dishes felt fresh, thoughtful, and full of character without overdoing it. We had the Pomelo Salad (Yum Som-O), Fried Baby Shrimp (Goong Pae), Coconut Curry with Escargot (Gaeng Kua Hoi), and Boat Noodles Soup (Nuer Toon Mor Fai). For dessert, we tried the Grilled Coconut Rice Cake with Mango Sticky Rice (Kanom Krok Khao Neow Ma Muang) and Ube Ice Cream. I also had the Wat Arun, their pandan mocktail, since I'm sober. Every dish felt alive. You could really taste the individual ingredients and how they played together. Nothing masked, nothing forced. Even the dessert brought that summer vibe, cooling things down without making you feel heavy after. The service was also worth noting. Servers were kind, attentive, and ready to help with anything we asked. All of it wrapped up in a calm and nicely styled space that reminded me of a boutique hotel lounge. Not loud, not chaotic, just a good place to enjoy the food and your time. Definitely a spot I'd go back to, and next time I might just bring a bigger group so we can try more of the menu.
A hidden gem where not a lot of people talk about. Is near Bathurst and King and since we have so many great Thai restaurants in the city, is easy to miss. I enjoy the authentic taste of the dishes along with very reasonable pricing. I personally love the Tom Yum hot pot here and is perfect to share.
Came in at about 3:30 on Wednesday. It was pretty dead and service was quick. I came for the Wagyu noodles--they were incredible!!! They were served in a rich broth that was thicker than a pho broth and also more flavorful. The Wagyu was cooked perfectly by the heat of the soup. The soup itself was PACKED with so many veggies, those clear glass Japanese noodles, and so much flavor!! They have additional fixings/spice that you can add as well. It does already come with a bit of spice to it. Such a satisfying and incredible dish. My dad had the khao pad rod fai which was great. We tried the Longan juice which had a smoky, neutral flavor. I personally was not a fan of the juice but that's just me. I tried the Ma Grud cocktail which was sour and super yummy with a delicious spicy rim. The coconut pandan ice cream served with corn and taro on top--oh my goodness. I wish I lived in Toronto so I could get this every day. SO GOOD. The corn may seem unconventional, but it really gives it such a special crunch and flavor.
Another visit to Wang Lang, this time to try their special Thai hot pot: Nuer Toon Mor Fai ($45). It's described as a five-hour slow-cooked mix of beef intestine, tendon, honeycomb tripe, and beef balls, served bubbling in a hot pot with rice noodles on the side--perfect for sharing between 2-3 people. Every component was impressively tender, but I was expecting a much higher proportion of innards. Instead, it felt like the ratio was closer to 20:80 innards to beef and meatballs, which was a bit disappointing. The broth also didn't quite hit the mark for me. This is the only dish from Wang Lang that hasn't wowed me so far, and unfortunately, it's not something I'd order again. read more

This is a good spot for Thai cuisine. The menu offers a great selection of flavorful dishes made with fresh ingredients, and every bite tastes well-balanced and satisfying. The atmosphere is warm, modern, and welcoming, making it a great place for both casual dinners and meals with friends. The staff are friendly, not as attentive, the seemed busy. The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and the prices are fair for the quality. We were seated upstairs which was nice and quiet. I had the pad see ew with shrimp which needed a bit more of a kick but priced well with a generous portion. If you're looking for an affordable and beautiful Thai food spot in Toronto, Wang Lang is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Wang Lang is truly a standout when it comes to Thai food in Toronto. At first, I thought "Wang Lang" was a person's name, but it actually means "Royal Garden" in Thai. I've been here three times love their food and vibe. Goong Pear (Fried River Shrimp) This is unique to Toronto--crispy and incredibly flavorful. Yum Salmon (Salmon Salad)-Thai-style raw marinated fish. With fish sauce, lime, chili, garlic, and salmon, it creates a delicious balance of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy flavors. Tiew Ruer Wagyu with Rice Noodles-Two thick slices of Wagyu, cooked to a perfect medium-rare. The richness of the warm broth blends beautifully with the marbled fat of the beef, creating a truly satisfying bite. Mango Sticky Rice Tart -Mango sticky rice served on a bite-sized coconut-flavored tart, perfect for a single mouthful. read more
New Thai Restaurant! Must try: Wagyu boat noodle Mango sticky rice Loved the boat noodle broth. Strong intense flavours. Delicious glass noodles! Also loved the spin on mango stick rice. After a full meal, the sticky rice is often too much for dessert. But this bite sized one with a slight burnt coconut sauce was AMAZING! I ate two LOL All the dishes are on the spicier side, authentic Thai food. Interesting cocktail menu playing around with spices and thai flavors. Great spot to check out! Great ambiance even to just grab a drinks! read more

Great service! Amazing food and cool ambience. Great spot for a date night, group get together. Not stroller friendly, but I would suggest using a carrier if you plan on bringing a baby or toddler. Definitely ask for a milder version of a dish if you can't handle spice. I personally love spicy food and everything was so flavourful and delicious. There are a few unique dishes you won't find anywhere in the city. Must try - pork jowl - fried frog legs - fried baby shrimp - wagyu boat noodles - both dessert items - raw salmon salad For cocktails I recommend - Ma Prao (Thai tea infused rum with coconut cream) - Som Jeed (bourbon and calamansi drink) - Bai Toey if you enjoy your smokey drinks (pandan infused whiskey) I definitely need to come back and try more on the menu as well as their $16 lunch specials during the weekdays. read more

I found upscale Thai that still vibrates with street soul. Kindly invited to Wang Lang, warm wood tones and soft lighting set a relaxed buzz. The fried baby shrimp arrived as a crisp golden pancake scented with kaffir lime, every bite saline and addictive. Pomelo salad burst with cool citrus, toasted coconut and a gentle chilli tickle. The star was the boat noodles soup, a deep beef broth simmered five hours, rich with tendon, intestine and springy meat balls, served bubbling beside rice noodles that stayed firm. A sweet earthy scoop of ube ice cream capped the meal, roasted coconut adding crunch. Service stayed attentive without hovering, and medium spice kept heat lovers happy while remaining approachable. An engaging Thai experience from first bite to last. read more

Very average food with small portion for the price, but the main reason for 1 star is because the service was bad. Not attentative, we mentioned the specific allergy but still included that ingredient and no apology. DO NOT recommend the wagyu noodle soup and the seafood dish - $36 for small mediocre flavour dish has only 4 mussles, 4 shrimps, few small pieces of squids. The green vegetable in the wagyu beef noodle soup was so bitter, couldn't eat. read more
Pleasantly surprised by this place - the Pad See Ew and Khao Soi were sooo good and authentic. I'm super picky on Thai food here in Toronto but this place is definitely a must try if you are in the area! Friendly staff as well. read more
Modern Thai restaurant, very cute ambiance. The service was great, our server was attentive and friendly. The dishes were presented well and flavours were good in general. I especially enjoyed the YUM TA KRAI-Lemongrass Salad with Shrimp, minced pork, onion, chilli, cashew, peanut. The salad was light and refreshing, very bright flavours. The Khao Pad Nam Prik was a bit underwhelming, I probably wouldn't order it again. The drinks we ordered were delicious. Solid 4/5! I would be open to visiting again. read more
Love this place! Came here for dinner with 6 friends on a Saturday night, we made a reso for 7pm and were seated right away. We shared the boat noodles (my fav), Khao soi, beef flat noodles, skewers, and Tom yum soup - everything was super delicious and had great flavours! I also got the special drink on the menu, 5/5 for presentation, 4/5 for taste (it was a bit bland for my liking) but my friends enjoyed their drinks so I would definitely try the other ones next time! read more

WOW. Food and service was so so so good. I can't remember our servers name but the pretty tattooed girl was so attentive and friendly despite it just being 2 servers that night. The yuzu salmon salad was so fresh and tarte. It perfectly complimented the spicier and savoury tastes of the yellow curry as well as the muek yang ( pork stuffed squid) While I was expecting the wagyu noodles to be the star of the show, my personal favorite was the hor mok yang (curry fish wrapped in banana leaves) which was perfectly steamed and so heartwarming and delicious! We finished it off with both the coconut rice cake topped with sticky rice as well as the coconut rice cake with taro on top. They were warm and not too sweet which was perfect. I would definitely recommend the mango one more. Overall portions were a bit small but it's to be expected for a King St restaurant. Gorgeous interior. Only complaint are the steep stairs going up to the washroom. DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK. I'm still thinking about this meal days later. Thank you Wang Lang and the staff for an amazing meal and such friendly kind service. Food: 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 read more
