Fresh, flavourful and simple Thai - good tea, a small but good selection of beer and wine round out this busy, tiny spot. The approach to the flavour is direct and confident, ginger, garlic and chili all balanced with each other... definitely worth regular visits.

Authentic Thai food with a mix of traditional and modern elements. The restaurant emphasizes using fresh, quality ingredients, and the spice levels can be adjusted to suit different palates. The presentation of the food also gets high marks, with attention to detail. The restaurant has a cozy, modern interior with Thai-inspired decor. Pricing is mid-range, which some find appropriate for the portion sizes and the quality of food. Overall food was super delicious and amazing. Highly Recommended.

This would be go to Thai place in all midtown area. The restaurant has a very cozy setting, with touches of Thai products / decorations. The food is amazing. The taste is less oily and more homey comparing to other Thai places. For those who are more into authentic South East Asia flavors, you might need to ask for more fish sauce. The staff were very nice and accomodating.

We looooved their signature bolan pad thai! It’s just one of the best we’ve tasted so far. The restaurant is small but the ambiance is great! 🤎 Will definitely go back.

Bolan Thai Cuisine offers a delightful dining experience with its authentic flavors and cozy ambiance. The Bolan Pad Thai and Panang Curry Beef are standout dishes, bursting with traditional taste. Nestled in a convenient location, this small, family-owned restaurant exudes warmth and friendliness, making it a hidden gem in Toronto. Its loyal customer base, built through word-of-mouth, speaks volumes of its enduring quality and service. Despite its modest size, the place is never too crowded, ensuring a pleasant visit. Bolan Thai is, without a doubt, my top Thai restaurant recommendation in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

Where do I start? At first place, I love Thai food (I mean, I love green thai curry 😝). And this place felt like heaven in my mouth. I really love how the after taste was also in my mouth. I would definitely want to go back to experience the food again and again or maybe even get a takeaway. But with regards to service and the staff, I think this needs a bit of work on the eticates because the lady serving us food, gave a small plate for our starters and before we even finished our appetizers, she took away the plate even without asking. These are really small things that need attention cause it's a bit of disrespect on the costumers.

I was looking for something different and I never really had Thai food before except for some fast food place and this was exactly what I was looking for. Small quaint little place where the staff are friendly and personable. The combination of curry and if I remember correctly coconut milk was a great sensation for the taste buds. It was so good that I had to go back and it was just as good the second time. I am going to keep going back until I've tried everything on the menu at least once.

The best Thai in Toronto! We’ve been going there for years, and it’s consistently amazing. The ambiance and decor are nice and cozy. The service is super friendly and prompt, and the food is so good. Fresh ingredients, super flavourful. We had the spring rolls, the pad Thai and the pad sew ew, all of which were so good! We also order takeout and the portions are generous.

My husband and I have been ordering and dining in at Bolan for 6 years now and not only has their food (literally every meal weve had) remained excellent, but theyve also maintained their portion sizes. This place means so much to us, weve spent birthdays and even had our favorite meal from here on the night of our engagement. We hope the owners and workers know how appreciated they are! :)

Bolan is my favourite Thai restaurant in Toronto, an under-appreciated gem that gets unfairly overshadowed by Pai a little farther north. The restaurant is a little whole in the wall, with less seating compared to others in the area, but looks homey, cozy, and is well decorated. With that smaller space comes better service as the staff can get around quickly. The food is delicious and they have some unique items like the Bolan Pad Thai, which substitutes the standard noodles with glass noodles. You can order anything and not be disappointed, but I especially love their signature options, including the Ka-prao, Khao Soi Gai, and Panang Curry Beef which have surprisingly nice presentation (which I miss when I more often have delivered). Also great for takeout and delivery, which I do quite often.

Bolan was awesome! One of the best restaurants Ive been to in the Yonge and Eglinton area. The food presentation was excellent, and the flavour matched! The smaller venue size meant we had great service from our waitress. All in all it was a great experience

August 22, 2024

This is the worst Thai food Ive ever had in Toronto. Somehow, the food was both incredibly bland and insanely spicy. I dont think Ive ever had a few bites of food and just refused to eat the rest. Even the rice was flavorless. How do you mess up rice? Its rice. I cant say the service was great either and they seemed completely disinterested in the fact that both of us didnt even eat a quarter of the food. As to how this place has high reviews, I will never know, but if you actually enjoy good food and have the palate of someone that isnt a nine year old child, I would recommend trying another restaurant in Toronto. I would rather eat a delicious meal and get food poisoning than have to return to this restaurant and eat awful food and feel fine after. Thats how bad this experience was. My suggestion is to skip this place. Ask a passing racoon for food recommendations and they will likely be better than the outcome of stepping into Bolan Thai.

Found this small local Thai restaurant. Foods are good. We ordered green curry, pineapple fried rice, and satay chicken. All tasted great. Only disappointment is their portion size - TOO SMALL. We can get way more food, more deliciousness at Chiang Mai and other Thai places with only a few dollars more. Would recommend if they increase their portions at the current price point.

My friend suggested we try out Bolan Thai Cuisine for lunch, as we had never been there before and had limited experience with Thai cuisine. The restaurant appeared small from the outside, but it was bustling with customers once we stepped inside. Despite its compact size, the restaurant had a unique design that intrigued us. Once seated, we perused the menu, which offered a wide variety of options. Some of us opted for the Bolan Pad Thai, with one serving including egg and the other without. One of my friends, who tends to be picky about food, thoroughly enjoyed their dish, while another mentioned that the addition of egg made it a bit dry. I decided to try the Pineapple Fried Rice, which exceeded my expectations. Despite expecting it to be greasy, I was pleasantly surprised by how well-balanced and flavorful it was. Although I couldnt quite pinpoint the exact flavors, the dish was delicious. On the beverage front, I ordered the Mango Tango smoothie, which unfortunately fell short of expectations. At $7, it was mediocre and slightly overpriced. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch experience at Bolan Thai Cuisine. However, one improvement I would suggest is repairing the broken tile on the front steps, as it flipped when I stepped on it and nearly caused me to fall.

I order from Bolan Thai through their Google ordering which directed me to the hungry panda app. I was charged 100 dollars and never got my meal. The restaurant says that the Hungry Panda option is a scam but it s on their business listing. They did not take responsibility and I am out 100 dollars with no food.

Ordered the vegetable Tom Yum soup (no protein) to go, and was utterly shocked that for $11.24 I received soup in a container so small it fits into your fingertips. The person who served me was smart - she had me pay first and revealed the soup from behind her back after; had I seen it before paying, I likely would not have taken it. The soup itself was tasty, however done after 5 spoonfuls. Also, the restaurant had a terrible smell at the cash, close the kitchen, like uncleanly. Needless to say, will not be returning.

We have ordered from here a lot. It used to be good. Now, tonight s order ..the pad Thai was so spicy it was inedible and the amount of rice given with the large amount of green curry was tiny. Only enough rice for one person. Disappointing.

Loved the food here. This is simple place with very subtle interiors. The food is good . Ordered the khao pad grow chicken and the green curry. Both the dishes were good. The khao pad is good for one person and the green curry is good for two people if you order extra rice with it. Overall treat their spice level indicated seriously if they write it is spicy it is definitely spicy. There is only one person who serves and manages the front as well but was very polite.

Was looking for a cozy Thai spot close to my house and saw this place on Google, after reading the reviews I had to try it. I made a reservation the same day which was a Friday night for five people. Service was a little bit slow, it took them about 15 minutes to actually take our order once we sat down. After we ordered it was a solid 25 minute wait for the food but it was SO WORTH IT because the food was absolutely amazing, probably the tastiest and highest quality Thai food Ive ever had (and everyone I went with agreed). Our server was super nice and the vibe of the restaurant is very authentic and laid back. The only reason I didnt give five stars and only four is because of the slower service but it seemed like they had a ton of takeout orders which kept them busy. Will definitely come back here and highly recommend if youre looking for amazing Thai food but dont want to mission downtown.

Great find in midtown Toronto. The menu was good, service great and food delicious. The prices were very reasonable and the four of us all enjoyed our meal. The orders were taken quickly and food delivered quickly too. Not only were our dishes tasty and well presented but they were served piping hot. Dishes included khao soy, pad thai and chicken basil. The cold wrap starter was shared by all 4 of us and was a delicious start to the meal. We would all recommend this restaurant. Vegetarian options: Several tofu dishes included and they were delicious Parking: Street parking on mnt pleasant ave. Small but well run restaurant. We will go back and have recommended it to several friends already.

The food here is very tasty and authentic and good value for money. The main caveat is that they are often not open on time and there is no sign on their door with their hours so you have to rely on google for that. One time we waited ten minutes past opening time no sign of any life inside so we left and ate elsewhere and when we walked back 40 minutes later we saw they were open . We went inside to explain our disappointment and no apology or anything. Another man had also been waiting with us so they lost paying customers that day. The bathroom downstairs isn t the cleanest either. Next time we may just do take out as the food is delicious

The ambience, customer service, and flavour are all 5 stars! I don t usually leave ratings but I love this place and it has a 4.5 stars? It should definitely be like 4.8 at least. I love the yellow fried rice with crispy chicken. I saw other reviews saying there was a bad smell, I didn t smell anything. Also the pricing is like 15ish dollars a dish which is average for a restaurant like this. Five outta five.

Delicious food and excellent customer service! We came to Bolan as a party of 4. Two of us got the khao soi which was really delicious, not overly spicy and it had all the right textures - from the crispy fried noodles to the soft noodles inside and meat cooked just right! Our friends were also really happy with their dishes and all of us felt a good quantity of food was served so we walked out full. The restaurant was kept clean, the staff were friendly and the restaurant was not crowded. It is a small place so it might be best to make a reservation if you plan to go on a weekend.

Wow hands down the best Thai I have had in Toronto. After lots of searching and eating bad Thai I finally had good Pad Thai!! Tried three dishes all were perfect. The spice level was great and fabulous taste. Must visit if you are near midtown Toronto

Delicious Thai food! We started with mango salad which was freshening and then shared 3 main dishes (red curry, a fried rice dish, and one of thier signature dishes). We were struggling to decide so our server made some suggestions and he did not disappoint. Our food came out quickly and was full of flavour. All in all a great place to eat with friendly servers. Will defintiely be going back to try more dishes!

I m so happy I ve found this restaurant! This is the best Thai food my family and I have ever had. The restaurant is so cute and atmospheric- beautifully decorated. The service was fantastic. We live outside of Toronto and wanted to order more food to take home and the kitchen graciously stayed open late to accommodate. I will definitely be back and recommend this to any Thai food lovers :)

The food was amazing - I got the Khao Soi and my friend got the fried rice with shrimp! The only reason I removed a star was because the service was quite slow - the place was very busy and there was only 1 main server for everyone there. We were okay to wait but we could tell the tables around us were getting quite agitated. Next, my friend had asked if the shrimp comes with batter on it, and she had asked for it to just be cooked without the batter if possible, and the waitress said that there is no batter, but when it arrived, it was covered in it. She was fine with it regardless, but this was still a bit frustrating. If you re dining here, just make sure you get that clarification if you have any dietary preference or restrictions :) Additionally, I wasn t really a huge fan of the thick ginger chunks/strips in the khao soi, as I kept biting into it and it was just too much. Aside from that, over all it was a great experience, a bit of a tight squeeze in the venue so make sure you call ahead if you re a big group as it may be tricky to get a table. Our waitress was also very lovely and she made our experience really great.

We were craving Thai late on a Sunday night and unfortunately most of the places we usually order from were about to close. We found this place online and because of the great reviews, decided to give them a try. Were ordered our regulars, and were happy to see two of the dishes on their Signature menu. We ordered mango salad, pad thai, beef panang and coconut rice. The mango salad was good, well seasoned and the mangos were a perfect ripeness. Coconut rice tasted just like the plain jasmine rice that accompanied the curry, no sign of coconut flavour at all. The pad thai was made with VERY thin rice noodles, which Ive never seen used in a pad thai. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. As mentioned by another reviewer, the dish was an unappetizing monotone of grey-ish white; the chicken looked boiled. Taste was ok, nothing special. The beef panang was very odd and unappetizing. Deep fried (!?), overcooked, chewy, oversalted and sitting in a sauce the consistency of Greek yogurt. Honestly one of the worst meals Ive had in a very long time! We love Thai food and have ordered from numerous restaurants in the city. I can say, without hesitation, that this is the worst weve tried.

I cannot recommend Bolan Thai enough. The restaurant is rather simple with wooden decor and classic bottles of sauces sitting by the wall, but thats contrasted by their complex tasting food. My party is fairly new to Thai food, but with an accessible menu and good prices, we thought of coming back to this restaurant... several times.

I ordered from Bolan Thai for a work Christmas Party for about 10 people. When we opened one of the main dishes a very long hair came out of the food. It was very disappointing because everyone was standing around the table, eagerly waiting to eat and that was the first thing we saw. I called the restaurant and they told me it happens sometimes and that I could get a free order of the same item next time. They were very polite and the rest of the food was great, but still hope that they make some changes so it doesn t happen again to another customer.

Have to say I was quite disappointed after reading all the great reviews! Green curry chicken was awful, very liquidy, two small pieces of eggplant, rest was tons of dry pieces of chicken and few bean sprouts! Rip off...:( Noodle dish Pad sew ew was also very disappointing, ordered it because it said Chinese broccoli and it wasn t, just regular overcooked broccoli. Don t think I would order from there again...:(

The mango chicken dish was too sweet and lacked depth/complexity of flavour. Mushroom fritters were tasty and not overly greasy, but it was mostly batter and I wish it contained more mushrooms.

Ive been going to Bolan since it opened. My boyfriend says its his favourite Thai restaurant in the area. I have probably gotten the Bolan pad thai (the one on the signature menu) at least 25 times. Its different than almost any other pad thai Ive had, except one I tried last year at Tikky Cafe in Chiang Mai. Its wrapped in an omelette and has glass noodles. When my friend tried it she mentioned that its also pretty sweet compared to other ones she has tried. THE PEANUT CURRY. Wow. Very rich and has lil peanut pieces... sooo good. Their red curry also has chunks of squash in it which is a nice touch. Khao Soi! I find that most Thai restaurants Ive been to dont serve Khao Soi (I guess because its a northern Thailand dish?) but the one here is in my top three Ive tried in Toronto. I have been disappointed too many times ordering that at other places! Other dishes Id recommend: Pad See Ew, mango sticky rice, chicken satay with peanut sauce. ALSO! The service is amazing. Theyre all so friendly and sweet. Bolan is where we go when we want something a bit fancier. I wish we could dine in right now because the restaurant itself is so cute.

Pad Thai had good flavor but fried rice did not. The appearance of both dishes was no appetizing in that everything was very white and colorless. The chicken, the rice, the noodles, everything looked as if it were only boiled which to me was very strange for these dishes, especially fried rice, which should have some color from being fried. Next time I want Thai, I will be looking elsewhere.

I ordered chicken Basil Fried Rice and Chicken Golden Curry. It was yummy and medium spicy which suited my taste. They had put very large pieces of chicken in Golden curry which I dint like and had to break those chunks in small pieces to eat it. They could have done better. Rice was nicely cooked with sweet flavor to it. It blended perfect when mixed with spicy golden curry.
