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!

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!

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.

Grilled pork jowl with spicy dipping sauce.

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.

Pad sew ew
Helen T.

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.

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.

Khao pad rod fai
Sarah S.

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.

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.

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.

Seafood soup

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.

Wat Arun (Pandan mocktail; alcohol free)
Karl L.

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.

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!

Definitely magic happening in the kitchen

Very good experience. They have authentic and more unique items on the menu than a standard Thai place in Toronto. Would recommend.

Beso by Patria - Paella Patria

Beso by Patria

Beso by Patria offers a really enjoyable Spanish dining experience…read more The Paella Patria was fragrant and flavorful, with fresh Argentinian shrimp and purple mussels. The saffron-infused rice soaked up the rich seafood broth perfectly. You can ask the staff to remove the shells if you want to eat more elegantly. The Spanish Octopus was tender and meaty--so fresh, I could have eaten more! I also tried the 36-month aged Joselito Iberico ham. Even though it's not my usual favorite, it was rich, flavorful, and paired nicely with the optional little crisp toasts. The baked white asparagus was a highlight, fresh and flavorful with a touch of minced meat that elevated the dish. The 16oz beef rib steak was cooked well done but still tender and juicy, and the accompanying little peppers added a subtle kick without being overwhelming. The restaurant's atmosphere is dim and cozy, perfect for dates or small gatherings. The staff were enthusiastic, checking in frequently, and even the management stopped by to make sure everything was going smoothly. Overall, a very satisfying meal with a good mix of flavors and textures.

This place had been on my list for a while, and it definitely lived up to the hype…read more The interior is stunning--very upscale, with gold accents and a bit of that "John Wick" vibe. The atmosphere feels elegant yet lively, perfect for a night out or a special occasion. We came mainly for the paella, and it did not disappoint. There are a few topping options, and it takes about 45 minutes to prepare, so I'd recommend ordering it early. The seafood was the highlight--shrimp were tender and bouncy, with mussels, clams, and even green beans. The flavors together with the rice were perfectly balanced. The Iberico pork shoulder was tender and flavorful, with a sauce that had a subtle savory depth--absolutely delicious. The fried eggplant was a bit on the salty side, and surprisingly didn't taste much like eggplant (more like fried potato slices), but still enjoyable. Overall, every dish had its highlights, and the dining experience was very satisfying. With the combination of great food, attentive service, and stunning ambiance, I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes.

The space is intimate and cozy, and perfect for lingering over shared plates and drinks. The staff…read moreare genuinely friendly and caring, and they're great at guiding you through the menu, especially when it comes to cocktail recommendations. The tapas are really good, though dishes did come out a bit on the slower side. But honestly, it fits the whole experience here: order a few cocktails, enjoy the atmosphere, and let the night unfold at its own pace (within the seating time limit of course). One of those spots that makes you want to order just one more plate. We got: * Half Octopus * Mussels Escabeche * Jamón Croqueta * Shishito Peppers * Sea Bream Ceviche & Chips * Grilled Beef Tongue & Mojo Rojo * Sobrasada & Foie Gras

Rating this a 4/5 overall because I did enjoy my experience here, but I will say the food itself…read morewas more like a 3/5. Came here on a Thursday night and was surprised at how busy it was for a weekday. Despite that, the service was excellent! Staff were friendly off the bat and very attentive after each dish was finished, making sure to wipe off the table or exchanging the plates which I was really impressed with despite how busy they were. We decided to go with their tasting menu where you gave them a price range you wanted to stick to - I believe it was $85-$200, and you can mention some dishes you definitely want to try and they curate the rest for you which I thought was so unique! I loved the idea of that. The dishes we really wanted were the octopus, bone marrow and scallops. The only standout dishes to me were the scallops, and a salad I cannot remember the name of but was so shocked at how good just a simple salad could be. Other than that, the other dishes were still good, but nothing extraordinary to be honest. The octopus was a bit too charred which was disappointing as it was what I was looking forward to the most. The tasting menu we got also had mainly vegetable dishes (other than the ones I just mentioned), so was hoping to get a few more meat dishes. This is definitely a great spot for vegetarians as it had a lot of veggie dishes. I would still come back to maybe try some of their other more meat focused dishes. Overall, I still had a great time and can't stress enough how lovely our waitress and the rest of the staff were!
