Dinned in at Koh Lipe a fair amount of times to vouch for their TOFU Pad Thai. Their veggies and tofu has the perfect amount of wok flavour compared to their other protein options and many other Pad Thai I have had around the GTA. For real. We always forget to take pictures of the tofu pad thai because it is too good to not have the noodles while is fresh off the wok. In this case. Phone does not eat first. Also love their curry fried mackerel served with rice. 🔥

I need to set the record straight about Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen. They keep suggesting they're a Michelin-starred restaurant, but that's not true. They only made it onto the Michelin guide list - they didn't even get a Bib Gourmand rating. It bugs me when restaurants try to trick customers like this. The best thing about this place is how it looks inside. They did a really good job with the design - there are fun colors everywhere and the whole place feels warm and welcoming. You can tell they put a lot of thought into making it look nice. The service could be way better though. The servers barely talk to you and seem kind of unfriendly. When we asked questions about the menu, they gave super short answers that didn't tell us much. I was pretty let down by the food. Most dishes were way too sweet, which ruined the other flavors. Even their Pad Thai wasn't great - and that's a basic dish that Thai restaurants should know how to make really well. The flavors just seemed off and mixed up. For a restaurant that's bragging about being in the Michelin guide, the food wasn't anything special. I wouldn't say don't go there at all, but don't get your hopes up too high. It's just an okay Thai restaurant with really cool decorations. They need to work on making their food taste better and getting friendlier servers.

Love the portion of the food and the overall taste. I really love how it’s salty and sweet at the same time. The crispy pork is slightly too hard but the seasoning is still flavourful. The server is very responsive. However, the room temperature is a little bit too low that we ended up asking for hot water. Generally speaking, it’s a cozy place worth visiting.

Didn’t even know this Michelin rated Thai restaurant was located in Scarborough! What a restaurant this is.! I have been to my fair share of Thai restaurants around Toronto, but this one stands out. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted to what I would consider very authentic. The decor in this place is also something to behold. It fits in well with the vibe of this place. The staff is very friendly and lookout for the robot on bus boy duty lol. Make sure you make a reservation.

I had the pleasure of dining at Koh Lipe Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that immediately transports you to a serene Thai paradise. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect. The food? Absolutely divine! Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with authentic Thai flavors. The Pad Thai was the best I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice and freshness. The Massaman Curry was rich, fragrant, and melted in the mouth, while the seafood dishes tasted fresh and expertly prepared. To top it all off, the dessert, especially the mango sticky rice, was heavenly. It felt like a mini-vacation with every bite! I highly recommend Koh Lipe to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Can’t wait to return!

Great food! You would not be regretted to come here. Authentic Thai food with lots of flavors. The spicy feeling is delivering at steady pace which is really nice. It gets super busy during dinner time, would highly recommend to book a table ahead of time.

This is our first time to come here. Looking for Thai lunch in the area and found it. Restaurant is quite spacious, not busy at all. We ordered the veggie Tom yum soup (more sweet than spicy), and two items from special menu. Chicken Curry sticky rice and shrimp roll. They are all tasteful. Even mild, still spicier than other restaurants. Depends on where you sit, we were assigned to a dark corner (and very dark even they have a portable table lamp). Rest of the restaurant are much brighter. So if you prefer bright or dark, may let them know. I think the shrimp roll will taste better if it is less salty. BTW, if you look for lunch special, they don’t have it. Just regular menu for the whole day.

Michelin Thai restaurant located within Splendid China Mall. Had a great assortment of choices with an authentic Thai taste. Waiters were very nice and the interior and atmosphere was very clean. Certain dishes were spicy but that’s just the way Thai food tastes so if your spice tolerance isn’t that great, just let the waiters know ahead of time (Spring rolls and mango pineapple were spicy). Was pretty good that it made me come back a few times, definitely recommend trying out ~

My favorite Thai restaurant ever! When you walk in, you immediately feel like youve been transported to Thailand. The interior decor and atmosphere was colorful and inviting. Staff was kind and helpful to recommend dishes and drinks as well. Food comes within minutes of ordering and service was attentive. The food is the best part though as it tastes amazing. Full of flavors, decent portion, and so much to try. There is not a dish I do not recommend so far, Im still trying to try the entire menu. Favorites are: pad see ew, Islamic noodles, massaman curry, seafood platter with curry sauce, the pork belly appetizer, the vegetarian dumpling appetizer, mango sticky rice... Too many to name! Been here multiple times with different people and wont be our last

Many fine details in the overall decoration of this restaurant, adds to the deep flavours of the dishes presented. The Massamam Curry is exceptional and well balanced between sweet and savoury. The Tom yum chicken wings were also a fan favourite. This is my third time here in the last 2 weeks, which can tell you a lot about the love of the dishes Koh Lipe has to offer. Even down to dessert, you will definitely love as it s not too sweet and sugary, balanced with buttery, milk toast. Spice is not to be reckoned with. If you can handle spice, try the medium before the regular spicy levels, as I was clearly humbled on my first time here. Otherwise, you will love the food, drinks, decor and overall ambiance this restaurant has to offer.

The place was totally worth it for the price you pay and the quality of food with taste and details!

I went to this restaurant today to spend the day off with my wife. The place is very clean, spacious, and well decorated, which I liked. However, it is located inside the Chinese mall, which made me think that this is definitely not the place for date night. It was also very crowded despite the fact I went 11:30-12:00. Parking is free and spacious. Again, it is located inside the small Chinese mall. Staff are very friendly and provided an excellent service. They constantly checked our table to clean the empty dishes and ask if we needed anything else with a smile on their face. The food is, unfortunately, somewhat disappointing. Maybe it is because I had higher expectations for Michelin Star Restaurant. We ordered Shrimp Pad Thai, Goong Moun(fried tofu skin with stuffing side, which is made of shrimp and other vegetables), and Guey Tiew Khaek (Isalamic Noodle). First and most, what I expect from a good Pad Thai is that smoky flavor. Unfortunately, this Pad Thai didnt have that feature. I wouldnt say it is a bad Pad Thai dish, but if it made me think that BKK Pad Thai is better than Michelin Star Restaurant Pad Thai, it is just sad. The spice level was alright, but it was salty. Isalamic noodles were very salty. If the purpose of this salty dish was to make people order extra rice, then very well played. It was recommended dish from many Google reviews, but I would think twice if I were you. Goong Moun was interesting dish. My wife didnt like it, but it was definitely intriguing dish for me with its unique texture. You may expect an alternate version of spring roll, but it is definitely different. Please give it a try, but keep in mind that this dish is med to high spicy(depends on people, I guess) Overall, the food was rather disappointing for Michelin Star Restaurant. If you want the best Pad Thai, I think you should go to Pai instead. Summary Pro: spacious parking, clean and well decorated restaurant with friendly staffs. Many photo spots Cons: Food is all right but not what you expect from Michelin restaurant. It is located inside the Chinese mall, not for date night place. Maybe family dinner to experience Michelin restaurant. *Again, this is all my subjective options. But I always try to be honest with my own experience and not flow with what others say in the review. Parking: It is located inside the small Chinese mall.

MISLEADING, FRAUDULENT:The Koh Lipe restaurant at Splendid China Mall (almost opposite Pacific Mall) Steeles Avenue East, Scarborough misleads customers that it is a Michelin Star restaurant but it is not on the list of Michelin Star or Guide for Toronto. The logos display that they are a Michelin Star restaurant for 2022 2023 & 2024 inside a tire and a not-to-scale damaged Michelin Man, also a tire brand. The Chef recommended Tom Yum Hot Pot was bland, tasteless and did not have the Unique Tom Yum taste and flavour. I have lived in Thailand for 2 years.

Overall an alright experience but it wasn t as good as the hype. The service was inattentive and slow considering I went on for weekday lunch. We waited soo long for the server to take our order and to get napkins. The food was great but I feel that depending on what you get, it s not that different than other Thai restaurants but costs a lot more. The decor and environment was amazing. So many nice pictures can be taken.

Had an unforgettable dinner at Koh Lipe in Scarborough! The restaurant s aesthetic and ambiance were absolutely beautiful, from the intricate decor to the warm and inviting lighting. The standout design feature was the stunning boat centerpiece, which truly adds a wow factor and elevates the entire dining experience. The Michelin star is well-deserved and speaks for itself! We started with the Peek Gai Tom Yum (Tom Yum Chicken Wings), and they were incredible. The wings were crispy, juicy, and packed with the unique Tom Yum flavor definitely a standout from your usual wing options. For mains, we tried the Gaeng Keow Whan (Green Curry) and Chicken Pad Thai. The Green Curry was flavorful and spicy, perfect for warming up during a Canadian winter. The Pad Thai was delicious, with just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess. A big shout-out to our server, Yo, who made the evening even better. He was attentive, gave great recommendations, and introduced us to a dessert we wouldn t have thought to try Pandan Toast. Since the Mango Sticky Rice was unavailable, this was a fantastic alternative. It wasn t overly sweet, and the flavors worked beautifully together one of the best desserts I ve had! Highly recommend Koh Lipe for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors. Can t wait to come back!

Solid 4 stars! It s slightly more pricey than the average Thai restaurant, but most of the dishes were exceptional. Super flavourful, so we were a bit thirsty afterwards. - Pad See Ew - great texture of the noodles! - Pandan Toast - good, but pricey. - Khao Neow Gaeng - so spicy but loved the texture of the rice. - Kor Moo Gaeng Qua - texture of the pork jowl was perfect! - Leng Saab (Tom Yum Hotpot) - Best dish we had all night. Plenty of meat and soup was amazing. - Gai Tod Hat Yai - only mediocre, would not order again. Difficult to get a table though. If you make a reservation, you ll need to put down a credit card. We showed up at 5:15pm on a Saturday and was pretty much seated right away. If we arrived any later though, the wait would ve been really long.

Heard about this Michelin Star restaurant and had to give it a try. My expectations were set very high. The food was full of flavour and well presented. The staff were hard working and always available. And the ambience and decor was beautiful. My only issue is that the meat in the food wasnt well seasoned. The shrimp in the shrimp wontons appetizer were not seasoned at all and very bland. The dish relied on the sauce for the flavour. The beef and fish in our main dishes were way too sweet and salty. They overpowered the rest of the flavours. Amazing experience overall. Will return for sure.

The Michelin guide named its Baldwin location on its list and this location in the Splendid China Mall is a spinoff. Good service but the moment they sit you down, theyre already kicking you out reminding you of the 90 min seating limit. The pineapple fried rice was very good.

Beautiful dining space with a stunning dragon boat as the focal point.

If you have allergies stay away. Simply for the fact they can t guarantee or tell you whats in what. Their Ice tea and mango juice was really good. I mean thats all we had sadly. The guy at the front (not sure if he was manager) was rude. He asked us what do you do when you go to restaurants?

Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen is easily one of my favorite spots in Scarborough! It s a Michelin star restaurant, but honestly, the prices are super reasonable for the quality you re getting, it s not just for special occasions, you know? Every time I m here, I have to get the Thai Coconut Mussel Curry. It s seriously the best. The mussels are always fresh and cooked perfectly, and the curry is this amazing combo of creamy coconut and just the right amount of spice. If you re into seafood or bold flavors, you need to try this dish. And to balance out the heat, I always grab a Thai Iced Tea, it s sweet, creamy, and so refreshing. Perfect for cooling down if you re not a big fan of super spicy dishes. They re usually pretty busy (it s popular for a reason!), but even then, they re always able to find space for walkins, which is super convenient when you re craving Thai food last minute. The vibe is relaxed, and the staff is really friendly and on it, making you feel at home right away. If you re looking for delicious, high quality Thai food without spending a ton, Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen is a must. Michelin star quality, great portions, and dishes that keep you coming back!

I visited the Scarborough location since the downtown branch was fully booked, having heard about their Michelin recognition. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Im wondering if perhaps only the downtown location received the Michelin recognition? The food temperature was a major issue. Both the mackerel rice and pork curry were served cold. At first, I wondered if this was traditional Thai dining culture, but my friend who visited the downtown location said their food was served properly hot. The mackerel rice came in a stone bowl with a wooden base, which seemed pointless since the bowl wasnt even warm. The fried pork curry (cant remember the exact name) was tough and cold, suggesting it had been fried quite some time ago. Due to the cold temperature, the dishes tasted overly salty. On the positive side, the beer was fresh, cold, and delicious. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant atmosphere was lovely.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Koh Lipe Restaurant in Scarborough yesterday. The food was simply amazing. We went during the rush hours, the restaurant was packed, so I highly recommend making a reservation to secure a table. Despite the crowd, our food arrived promptly. Unfortunately, we were too eager to eat and didnt manage to capture good photos of the dishes so I used the screenshot of my video Also the new dessert is super tasty bi co Moii so good . Our server was friendly and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. We ordered the gang cha pru, a southern dish that was an absolute flavor bomb. It packed with heat and it definitely lived up to the hype.. Overall , Koh Lipe Restaurant provided a great dining experience. Delicious food, efficient service, and a vibrant atmosphere made it a memorable visit. Dont forget to reserve a table during peak hours to ensure you dont miss out on this culinary gem

I recently had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant on Koh Lipe, and I can t recommend it enough! The service was amazing everyone was so friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. As a big fan of Thai food, I was blown away by the southern Thai dishes they offered. Each bite was bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of my time in Thailand. The curry was rich and aromatic, and the fresh seafood was cooked to perfection. One dish that really stood out for me was the Kor moo gaeng kua it was just amazing! If you love Thai food, this place is a must visit. I can t wait to go back and try more!

I was blown away by this restaurant. The aesthetics, the flavours, reasonable prices, I would HIGHLY recommend!!! We came here for my birthday dinner with my family and I couldn t have been happier with my decision to go here! I loved all the foods we got! With the exception of the braised beef curry (too sweet, was expecting this to be more tangy and savoury) and the green curry mussels (mussels were overcooked and chewy). My favourites were the fried pork belly, pad see ew (loved this so much, we ordered another one), pad thai and the grilled sea bass. The service was attentive, quick and friendly. I had an amazing experience and definitely recommend this restaurant!

Michelin star? Who handed it to them? What a joke I was ignored intially by the host; perhaps it was because I looked a little younger than the others in the line up? But I was literally right in front of him and he looked past me and spoke to the couple behind me ( I truly believe he thought I was an uber delivery person because there was a load of packaged uber food next to the host station, this is even more messed up - super pretentious for no reason ) When I advised the host I had actually made a reservation, he changed up his attitude and brought me to the table. I was sat down and was told nothing but the servers name and that there was a 1.5 hour seating limit - not even a cup of water was given to me. I had to flag down several other employees before I could finally get 2 glasses for water. Service was HORRIBLE - 2 people, meal came up to about 170 after tip; none of the food came on time AND we were rushed out due to their 1.5 hour seating limit... definitely should be considering that our food was late before rushing us out. They would reach into the table, pick up the food and then put it back down realizing they hadnt even asked - extremely rude - thats the extent to how much they were rushing us. Their maximum tip option 30% so youd expect WAY better service for what theyre asking for. Waste of money, waste of time. DO NOT GO HERE. Literally a fast food thai spot in a food court wouldve been the same. An absolute disgrace to asian cuisine - shouldnt even have a restaurant let alone a michelin star. This place is nothing but a gimmick for loser instagram people who need a place to fill their delusions of being an influencer. If this place deserves a michelin star, then so does pho88 - again, what an absolute joke. Your local Mcdonalds has better standards than this garbage establishment.

When you enter Koh Lipe, you re immediately immersed in its unique blend of traditional and modern aesthetics. Located in Splendid China Mall, the restaurant s bold exterior, complete with bamboo walls and the iconic Michelin statue, sets a promising stage. Inside, a captivating wooden boat centrepiece in vibrant reds, yellows, and blues with coiling dragons and temple-like structures brings a mythical flair. Adding a futuristic touch, their busboy robot glides through the dining area, enhancing the overall experience. Heres what I ordered: Luok Jhim: This seafood platter was a delight for seafood lovers, served with an array of fresh, perfectly boiled seafood topped with garlic chips and cilantro. The lime chilli sauce in the centre added a refreshing zest, with a distinct lime and fish sauce flavour rather than heat. Wrapping the seafood in lettuce added a nice crunch, though the squid was slightly overcooked and too chewy. Also, the lettuce was a bit wet, which needed extra napkins, but the restaurant was happy to replenish veggies upon request, which was a thoughtful touch. Chicken Pad Thai: This staple Thai dish was well-prepared but didn t quite hit the mark. Stir-fried with the right texture, it included equal amounts of tofu and chicken, which was not what I expected. A slight bitterness came through that I couldn t place. These didn t ruin the dish but they were minor disappointments. Crushed peanuts and lime on the side were a nice touch, but overall, it felt average for such a famous spot. Service was attentive despite the busy atmosphere, though catching a server s attention was sometimes a challenge. Koh Lipe excels in ambiance with its exotic decor and high-end feel, but prices are on the higher side. While the experience is unique, it may not be the best choice if you re looking for good value, but it s a good spot to introduce friends to a distinct Thai dining experience.

Went here for a birthday celebration because we wanted to try something new and heard good things about this Thai restaurant. Koh Lipe did not disappoint. Each of us took turns ordering that dish to share and we all enjoyed each one, and had fun discovering which one of those are favorites. We did this again on 2nd visit. The restaurant is noisy and very busy with a lot of patrons talking, servers moving around, robots picking up dishes, etc. but the place had a nice vibe. The washrooms were okay (first visit was clean, second visit a bit unkempt), and the service was incredibly attentive for some place that was so busy. A fun place to eat, and the food was excellent.

Came here with a friend for a lunch and the ambience was very welcoming. Ordered a pad thai, pad see ew and fish cake.

This place has the BEST and authentic Thai food in the city! I highly recommend that you make a reservation, actually their website says reservation required. Ive been here twice and both times, it has been really busy. I love that they have items here that I dont normally see at other Thai restaurants. They have dishes from different regions of Thailand. Coconut curry with pork jowl... wow, just amazing! The Goong Moun appetizer is delicious so I had to order it both times. My favorite dish so far is the Pad Sam Mhen (Stinky Noodle). The noodle itself isnt stinky, its the stink bean. The first time we ordered it, our server made sure that we knew what we were ordering but both hubby and I enjoyed it & didnt find anything stinky about it. We had the green curry with chicken extra spicy and be warned, extra spicy here does come out extra spicy. Also, the protein in each dish is plentiful! They dont cheap out. Lots of chicken, lots of jumbo shrimp. Even though it is very busy, the food comes flying out of the kitchen. They are quick and efficient there. Everything comes out delicious and piping hot. The servers here are kind and make small talk with you, checking in every once in a while to make sure everything is to our liking. The only thing I found was that 1.5 hours wasnt enough time to eat all the food we ordered plus dessert. They tried to rush us out with 14 minutes left on the clock and I had to pretty much take a stance that we wanted to eat dessert and would do so quickly. I highly recommend this place over & over again!

Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started with the Appetizer which was perfectly prepared and full of flavor.

I ve tried their downtown location and was intrigued to know they had another location in Scarborough. I managed to get reservations last minute at an earlier time. Note that they really stick to the dining time limit because they have a lot of reservations and have to get the next round in. No issues on that part, totally get it. We had a few dishes, chicken pad Thai, chicken pad see ew, and 2 other dishes. We also ordered some drinks, and the mango sticky rice. If you can t handle spicy, definitely go for the no chili symbol ones because even if you ask for less spicy the dish is still pretty spicy. Honestly everything was great, and the service was very attentive. I think in order to make sure everyone stays within their dining limit they kind of have to. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu.

The restaurant is beautiful and very spacious. Lunchtime on my weekday visit was not too busy so no reservation is required. The grilled squid appetizer was kind of rubbery and lacked any grill marks or flavour. If not for the wonderful dip that came with it this would have been a disappointing dish. The rest of the spicy stir fried noodle dish was excellent. Given that it was not too busy the service was excellent and fast.

The food here is great! Love their varieties of options and there s definitely a dish for everyone. We came here on a Wednesday and we reserved a table in advance which I recommend as it was so packed on a weekday. Due to this service was a bit lacking as we sat for 10-15 mins before getting any water and trying to get our servers attention was a bit hard as she was never around. However, when she was around she was very nice and took pictures of us when she saw us struggling. They definitely need more wait staff when the restaurant was so full. Overall, a good place for Thai food in this area.

Okay, to start things, the atmosphere is very comfortable, wooden materials, and the aesthetic of a jungle. The place is a go-to for some delicious Thai cuisines and some comfortable environment. If I recall correctly, their service was fast, and I mean very fast. We ordered a few dishes (absolutely amazing in taste) and it all came within 10-15 minutes. Though the speed may be fast, the food was well prepared and well cooked for us customers to enjoy. Overall, one of the best Thai restaurants for those who live near Markham. Parking: Many spots for parking and most of the time they aren t even halfway full.

It was my first time there today with my family group of 8-9. I was very impressed with many of the dishes we ordered. The flavors were there, the portions were wonderful, and the atmosphere had wonderful decorations. Being Thai myself, it brought back Nostalgic flavors, I loved it! They were very family friendly, and the service received was outstanding. It has been awhile where I can say this is what customer service should be like and todays experience left me feeling like they have very well trained, caring and thoughtful servers. I met the manager before we left and she had such a wonderful energy to her- gentle and kind soul she is. We overall had a wonderful experience, one of the best food and service.

The food was amazing, but the service was horrible. No check ins, no follow up, no communication. We were going to order dessert but no waiter came to our table. We had to get up out of our seat to get the bill. It wasn t busy at all, maybe 5 tables with people. All the waitresses and waiters were just standing by the bar talking.

My first time here: atmosphere is pleasant, food is excellent, and service is great. I ordered a couple things to keep this review balanced: pad thai, pad grao, and mango sticky rice. The pad thai is up to my expectations and it was well balanced in terms of both texture and flavour. The Pad Grao is really good and i want to personally thank the staff that recommended it to be mild as it was spicy. Finally, the mango sticky rice is something I always look forward to the most; it reminded me of the mango sticky rice I had at PAI - which I highly praised. I will recommend one thing to the owners of Koh Lipe: offer a various spice level ranging from 1-5 for those who cannot tolerate spice. Now back to chowing down on the mango sticky rice.

The con side of having a Michelin star is the expectation that the food should be beyond exceptional. It wasnt. It was good, but there is definitely far more superior Thai places in Scarborough/Toronto. We ordered the Mango Salad which was delicious. The chicken Tom Yum soup was underwhelming. For mains we ordered chicken Pad See Ew and this was our favourite. We also got the beef Guey Tiew Khaek. This was more on the oily side, but good flavour. The other thing we found was the food while served pretty fast, was lukewarm at best. Lovely atmosphere, and no complaints about the service, but we dont see ourselves returning any time soon.

Wow! I can t even put into words how incredible the food at this restaurant is. It s featured in the Michelin Guide, and after seeing it all over social media, we knew we had to try it. While I can t recall all the dish names (check the receipt I posted!), I was blown away by the flavors and portion sizes, especially considering the price it s such great value. We ordered enough food for four people, yet it was just the two of us, and we still had plenty to take home. The standout for me was the pork curry, bursting with umami and an incredible balance of sweet, salty, and sour flavors. It was so good, I could ve cried! The pandan toast also left a lasting impression it reminded me of a bakery in Montreal with its buttery richness and perfect texture. Honestly, everything was delicious!

Having been to the best Thai restaurants all around downtown Toronto, this one struggled to compare. The vibe is very off - feels like a fast food restaurant at times. Babies everywhere screaming. No music. The food comes out concerningly quick, to the point where you re wondering if it was made hours ago and they threw it into a microwave before serving. The food is delicious but nothing special. Appetizers and dessert outweigh the mains. The toast (pictured) made up for many of the downsides of this place!! Making eye contact with waitress/waiter was a struggle, drinks were often forgotten. At one point we had to go the bar ourselves to get to our drink. Glad we tried it and crossed off the restaurant list but won t return.

It s good and tasty with nice atmosphere in spite of suburban mall setting(that may appeal to some, if so check out First Markham or for South Asian, Ridgeway). Flat noodle beef among better items I have had. I don t want to be unkind at all but I don t get the Michelin star-it s likely for downtown location. Been to Scarborough twice, good both times but there are a lot of very good Thai places in Toronto. This is one of them. Maybe the buildup of expectations with the star. Mens restroom needed a service on one of my visits. Service is very attentive without being intrusive. Full marks on that.

For a michielin guide restaurant, I was a bit disappointed... dont get me wrong, i still thought the food was still very flavorful and delicious. But, in my honest opinion, I prefer the other thai restaurant down the street. I found the food here to be more on the sweeter side with a little kick from the peppers.

The food was a bit too sweet for our liking and when we asked how spicy the food was, we were told it would be very spicy, so we stuck with medium spice, which was barely spicy for us. Next time I would try ordering spicy and hopefully that will help even out the sweetness of the dishes. Service was good and the place was clean. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

First off, let me start by saying please dont rush the customers by constantly reminding them how much time they have left to sit at their table and eat, every 20 minutes. People dont want to be rushed to eat, especially not at a birthday or special dinner. You should have some respect for your customers that are literally paying your bills. Whats even worse is telling us we initially had an hour and 30 minutes total and then coming to our table 45 minutes into our meal and saying we have to leave in 15 minutes. So we just lost 30 minutes just because? Great. Didnt even order dessert because of that. Now, to the food. Honestly, it wasnt that great even though Im a huge fan of Thai cuisine and have been to many popular Thai spots around Toronto. Comparatively, PAI, Sukothai, Jatujak, and Khao San road are all better options. Every Thai restaurant I have been to, they cook the khao soi with coconut milk/cream. The curry in the khao soi should be orange to yellow in color. This place just gave me a spicy, dark red curry sauce with some noodles and beef in it and called it khao soi. No coconut milk or cream in the curry whatsoever. Also the veggies in the khao soi smelled like they were rotten and I immediately removed them from the plate. The khao soi itself did not taste good at all. I couldnt even finish it. Took it home, and it went bad overnight so you cant even store it. Green curry and Islamic noodles were OK but not as good as PAIs. Green curry was Thai express level. However, The wings for the appetizers were great and actually tasted better than anything else we ordered. None of the other curries tasted good though. It feels like this is just a Chinese-run Thai spot. Overall, the food is mediocre to average. The Service personnel need some tips on manners and timing, and The atmosphere is very colorful and vibrant. Tables are incredibly small and congested, even for 4 people and all their main dishes. I would not visit this place again and would rather go to PAI or Jatujak

Food 3/5 Service 3/5 Vibe 5/5 I have been to the DT toronto location a while ago, so decided to try their Scarborough location. Disclaimer: not a food expert, just personal opinion I personally am not a fan comparing to all the other thai restaurants in toronto. Sorry flavor was meh, portion was meh, service was meh. Tbh im kinda disappointed as this place is HYPED UP so crazy all over social media,, and also on the Michelin list. I would say great place for a try since its on the Michelin, but not on my come back and eat again list.
