    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!

    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.
    Karen L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Paella anyone? I bet you haven't heard that in a while. And…read morehonestly, who knew it was such a Portuguese thing too? We all know Spain made it famous, but Portugal? INSANE. Back to why I do this. I'm endlessly curious about food, people, and the magic that happens when great meals meet good music. Friendships just seem to evolve naturally around a table. And thank you, E, for another incredible photo -- your choices are always perfect. Mercado on St. Clair is a hidden gem. What was once beside my mom's flower shop downtown has now found a home in a slightly more industrial setting on Caledonia -- and somehow, it works perfectly. Cozy seating inside, a great covered patio outside, and that village-style European restaurant vibe you hope to stumble across. First off, the waiter was phenomenal. He walked us through the menu, explained everything perfectly, and genuinely elevated the whole experience. The menu is massive -- meat, seafood, everything you could want -- but we came for the paella. We were told it takes time because they make it the proper way. Not overly crispy, just authentic, rich, and layered with flavour. Worth every minute of the wait. To start, we had the gambas / shrimp in a rich red garlic and herb sauce plus extra toasted bread for dipping, per our waiter's recommendation. Absolute rockstar move. The other appetizer was a delicious beef stew served over crunchy rustic bread. Simple, hearty, and top notch. Now... drum roll please. This may have been the best paella I've ever had. Okay okay, maybe somewhere along the coast in Spain I've had one fresher... but this was absolutely off the charts. Zero fishy smell. Just beautiful saffron-infused rice with that perfect slight crisp, loaded with mussels, clams, octopus, calamari, shrimp, and more. Built for two people to share and completely unforgettable. A few glasses of house white later and bam - there was absolutely no chance I was going back to work. And dessert? I kept telling myself: "No dessert, Frank. No dessert." But there's a rule in life ; if you see crème brûlée on a menu, you order it. This wasn't exactly crème brûlée, but a cheesecake-inspired version of it. Two spoons, four bites, and thank you very much. Favourite meal of the year so far. Completely blown away by this place. Mercatto -- go now. Go fast.

Our favourites were the oxtail pintxo, bravas, wagyu, churros, and flan--each of these really stood out and delivered on flavour. That said, I was especially excited for the paella, and it unfortunately fell short. I've had better paella from a food truck, and for much cheaper. Between the chicken and striploin, we preferred the chicken as it had a more cohesive flavour. The striploin was cooked closer to rare when we asked for medium rare, making it tough to eat, and the rice itself was quite bland. On a positive note, the service was lovely--attentive, warm, and accommodating throughout the night. Our server checked in often without being intrusive and made the experience feel polished and welcoming. Overall, while the ambience and service made for a great evening, the food didn't quite justify the price for me. Not sure I'd return, but still a nice spot if you're looking for a good atmosphere.

We ordered the Sea Bream Ceviche and chips, quarter Octopus and Patatas Bravas. The highlight was the ceviche. The octopus was unfortunately a little overdone, which made it tough. I would absolutely not order the patatas bravas again. The potatoes were very dry and tasted as if they had been sitting out for some time. We also sat at the bar and had a few ordered of cocktails with the food. Be aware that the bar itself slopes down towards you. With that being said, my partner put her drink down on the sloped part and it fell all over both of us, with the bartender seeing it all unfold. He was nice in providing some extra napkins to dry ourselves off, but all he had to offer was "Yup that happens a lot" as opposed to maybe offering to remake the drink which was now 2/3 empty as a result. Was a little disappointed at that service in particular, especially when you're paying upwards of $18 for a small cocktail. The atmosphere was good, however. IF I were to give it another try, I'd probably just opt for drinks and skip the food, which was a little pricier for what you're getting portion-wise and quality.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: We had our office holiday dinner here and 15 people attended. We did a set menu which had 3 courses. The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes!
