The Friendly Thai in Toronto

Had a great experience Vegetarian options: Many options Dietary restrictions: Accommodate all Kid-friendliness: For sure Wheelchair accessibility: Not able to accommodate

Around $14 to dine in for lunch which is okay but they charge almost 23 for a lunch takeout. They are trying to attract business by forcing people to eat in for lunch but its losing more business than they think.

Friendly staff

Really good, quick service and some of the most delicious Thai food Ive had.

Super fresh veggies in their meals and very friendly delivery service. They always take my order over the phone with friendliness as well. Their food is delicious!

I visited alone for a quick bite. Staff quickly assumed I was there for pick up, which made me hesitate to dine in and it didn t make me feel good that I was alone. Ordered the fried calamari, and it was pretty bad. Probably the worst calamari I ve ever had, everything from seasoning, to the coating, to the sauce! I was very hungry but couldn t actually have more than a third of it. At $15.99 plus tax and tips, I expected at least a bit better.

Wonderful! The service was quick and courteous, the food absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the Coconut Soup, the Spicy Thai Fried Rice, and the Thai Spicy Noodle (Phad Kee Mao). Not only was the food fabulous, the portions were generous. Weve done pickup and dine-in, and can confidently recommend both options !

Terrible food. The pad thai was drowning in what tasted like barbeque sauce.

Nice veg spicy noodles

Chicken fried rice like my mom used to make .

Loved the food here! I had their red curry, and mango tofu stir fry, super delicious! The server was very kind and friendly as well :)

Some of the worst food I ve ever paid for. Disgusting. The type of food you would get at the mall cafeteria. Don t waste your money unless you like being disappointed.

Awful food. The friendly ketchup. I can t stress this enough. Absolutely terrible. My food tasted like chicken and ketchup.

Ate here last week and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious (chicken curries, hot and sour soup, Thai fried rice)! The space is a little small, but we found it warm and intimate. Service was on point too. Would go back, great neighbourhood Thai place.

The food was great! Appetizers are delicious, affordable and a pretty large serving for the price.

Visited this Thai restaurant and was blown away by the Spicy Chicken Fried Rice - a flavorful and perfectly seasoned delight. The ambiance was warm and inviting, complementing the authentic culinary experience. Staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommend for a fantastic Thai meal!

Classic Pad Thai comes with shrimps, chicken, egg, tofu, ground peanuts, and green onions. It has a balanced sweet and salty flavour but lacks the sour taste and the tamarind flavour is unnoticeable. The noodles are too soft and clumped together. The not-spicy Spicy Beef Salad tastes like sweet chilli sauce; salty, slightly sweet & sour with a hint of tomato. The beef slices are overcooked, dry, tough, and a little hard to chew.

Worst service I ve ever had. Ordered online, was there on time for pick up, waited 1/2 hour and still no food. Got my money back and asked to have the owner to call me. Never heard from them. Will never spend my money here and recommend others in the neighborhood not to as well.

Good place to check out.

Vegetarian options: I was surprised by the amount of vegetarian options available. The Thai Eggplant was out of this world.

Great food and a overall great experience. The servers are very friendly and accommodating and the food was just exquisite! Went here with my family and we couldn t have chosen a better place. The portion sizes were very generous and more than enough, we had to ask for to-go containers. Overall experience was 10/10 would definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Delicious pad thai!

Food, service, delivery........AMAZING!

Hat a very nice Dinner today at Friendly Thai, Food and service were perfect.

Wow. If you re looking for something delivered with quality, quantity, freshness, served hot and absolutely delicious, then you ve come to the right place. It s been a while since i ve eaten something so delicious. I am absolutely satisfied and pleased with the food I ordered. I know that if I choose anything from the menu, it will be delicious. Thank you for the beautiful packaging and amazing tasteful experience. Vegetarian options: So many GF and vegetarian options

Delicious Thai food We ordered sweet and sour soup mango chicken stir fried Pineapple fried rice Curry Phad Thai Friendly staff and nice location Street car & street parking are available

I ordered food a couple of times and it was really great.I would definitely recommend it.

Its really good.

Really good food and service. Portions are huge and definitely more than enough. Went here with my family and the experience overall was amazing. Will definitely be going back.

Affordable, delicious, great service!

Been a customer for long time but recently being racially profiled by one of your female employee She was correcting my accents I have deep accent she was making fun of it Really disappointed with that

Had a lovely lunch with my husband - a red curry lunch special and chicken coconut soup - delicious, good value and very friendly service ! Definitely a good find!

Absolutely will order again. Excellent portions, great price, and the food was outstanding.

This was the first meal we had in Toronto it was really enjoyable and nice

Went with a friend and we ordered from the excellent lunch menu. Excellent food.

Pad Thai portion was large, BUT it did not taste like Pad Thai at all...not even close.

The vegetarian pineapple fried rice is super tasty! Plus, large serving sizes given the price :) Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options

Great foods. I loved Coconut soup.

It is my first time here in this restaurant. Their staff are very friendly and nice to their customers and their foods are amazing

Great food and good service! A good neighbourhood restaurant. I wish they remodel the place and brighten it up a bit to make more inviting for people to come in.

Trying to order delivery just doesn t work

Have ordered a few times now - I am hooked on the chicken Thai Spicy Noodle (Pad Kee Mao) - I can highly recommend this dish. Fast delivery, the food is so hot and fresh you can taste it. This is actually a genuinely flavorful and spicy dish that is absolutely mouth watering beyond belief. Reasonably priced for what you receive. Will be trying more items on the menu for sure.

Ordered tonight - it was terrible. watery noodles with hair in it. So gross. too many good restaurants out there ..dont waste your money. Based on no responses on other bad reviews I guess they dont care

Very friendly staff and fresh, delicious Thai food, which isnt expensive and portions are great. Would love to keep visiting and trying their other menu options.

Excellent food all around, always consistently good and fresh. Sounds random but the chocolate fudge brownie is phenomenal, best brownie I ve ever had!

Horrible food

Best Thai in Sarasota !!!!!! Great service and full menu

Waitress was so quick to take the order we didnt even get the chance to tell her what type of meat or spice level for the pai thai and curry. We had to call her back to tell her we wanted medium spice. When the food arrived there was absolutely no spice level. It was mild. The pai thai tasted too sweet and tasted like ketchup. No tamarind flavour. There was also no bean sprout. The curry came with rice that was so dry. I wont be returning here. Food and service was lacking.

Nice discovery after a walk at Tommy Thompson park. We ordered the pineapple fried rice and the red curry chicken. A bit of a wait but it was worth it: food was delicious! Price very reasonable too. New waitress (it was her 2nd day) was helpful and smiling.

Great service, tasty food. For a group of 9 the food was cooked pretty fast.

Very delicious dishes and perfectly cooked. I had the Shrimp fried rice, garlic shrimp, and curry pad thai shrimp, which is highly recommended. I love the mushroom soup, very light and brothy. The mixed vegetables are really good and never overcooked. The staff are really friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend.

Great food and service!

Loved their Fried rice and spring rolls and the people are very friendly and jolly all the time. Overall a good place for Thai. Would definitely go back !!!

i love thai food! this place has wonder bang for your buck! i cant enough of their pad thai and spring rolls! the servers are so nice, they gave me an extra spring roll :) love this place! :)

The food was so delish and the wait staff was so nice! Cant wait to go back!

Good portions with good flavours. Lunch specials come with rice and they offer you Vegetarian, chicken or beef all for the same price during their lunch special. Fair prices with a nice chill vibe to dine in. 10/10.

There was a long black hair in my take out. Absolutely disgusting!

Great food!

Good food, friendly service.

The peanut chicken is to die for its so excellent and I wish they delivered in my area but its worth the drive to get here.

The first place we ate after this recent lockdown. Outside seating but never mind that. The server was really polite and helpful. The food was amazing and the pricing was good for the value..

They serve a lot of food and its delicious!

Delicious Pad Thai.

Great prices, delicious food, great portions, and the staff are very friendly too!

Good food . Bad service! Who forgets to include part of the meal when they re too busy worrying about closing up for the night!?!

Food is good be delivery is very slow and customer service is awful. Never used to be this bad.

Love this place

you did not fail to impress me every bite I have taken and currently taken is worth the price without a doubt you followed my order notes with the extra peanuts 4/5 star rating for my experience I did find the dish to be missing a little bit of sauce but other than that this was really really good! (please forgive me that is not the whole portion I only thought to take a photo while eating LOL)

Pad Thai tastes like they added ketchup, had plenty of Pad Thai and it s got an odd taste. Additionally they just don t offer bean sprouts

We ve ordered take out from here a few times and have never been disappointed! The green curry is our favourite dish. The vegetarian spring rolls are excellent as well. You always get a huge portion, enough for a few meals. Very speedy service as well. Thanks again for a great meal!

Worst service. Super slow. They made me wait for an hour just for a simple order.

The best service in the east on Queen East. I just wish they d fix the front door.

Really good food and affordable prices

I ordered vegetable pineapple fried rice. The Food was terrible.Tasted like water and I told them I want my food to be spicy, it was not even spicy.

Used to be my favourite Thai restaurant. So unfortunate that it went downhill.

Best chicken fried rice in town! Try it and thank me later!

The food is always amazing. Favorite dish has to be the Mango chicken and Pineapple fried rice

The best fried rice chicken in this place. Really looking forward to visit again

Great food and got free appetizer when we picked up the food instead of getting delivery!

I got green curry and chicken pad Thai. The curry didn t taste anything like Thai food, and the pad Thai was full of tofu and very few chicken.

Well let me tell you, our experience was certainly NOT friendly. The apparent manager of this location was blatantly rude and arrogant to my boyfriend who paid for the food we ordered. He brought in cash as it was an option when we ordered online, and we had some on hand. My boyfriend pulled out the cash to pay and the lady replies with seriously?! With a rude tone. She then scoffed and went to go get a wipe to sanitize the money. My boyfriend was caught off guard as she was being completely arrogant. She then proceeded to tell him how she has a lung condition and using cash puts her at risk since she could die from the virus . Which was interesting to hear as apparently not a single person in the establishment was wearing a mask, not the kitchen staff nor this woman. Had she of been so concerned about safety perhaps she would have followed government protocol and worn a mask in a public space. My boyfriend felt completely uncomfortable. He then said if it is such an issue I will pay by card, and which she then replied again with Seriously!? I was so aghast at the customer service that I called into the store afterward. My boyfriend couldn t believe the service he just received. I explained how I was not happy with the service and how I didn t appreciate her rudeness. She would not even let me speak, proceeded to say that she has amazing customer service and then slammed the phone down in my ear without letting me speak. Completely HORRIFIC customer service. I can t believe that in a time like this people have not learned to treat everyone with respect. I will not be a returning customer and I believe that there should be repercussions for her actions.

Had a nice little working lunch to myself on the patio. Fast and friendly service. Yummy veg spring rolls and green curry.

I like their food

service is impeccable

Good Thai food, fast pick up or delivery. Always happy!

Chalk this review up to the increasing confidence on the part of restaurants that people will take whats offered, no questions asked. With the greater dependence on take out and delivery during COVID comes the anonymity of the service staff and kitchen. The Friendly Thai, a local restaurant which my family has supported through the COVID and long before has slowly adopted the take what we give you attitude and I am not going to take what ever the hell they want to serve me. Three strikes now, the last resulting in an off putting argument over yet another wrong item sent and poor flavour and preparation . Top it off with the attitude and you lose another diner. We had enjoyed your food for years. Now it sucks, and its because you just dont care. Ha!!

Excellent food. Fast and Great service. Friendly staff. Been here a few times and my favourite is the curry pad Thai. The best part is that they offer 10% discount on all take out orders and gets the food delivered to you with no delivery charge under 45 minutes.

Extremely bland. Very disappointed with the attitude of the person behind the counter as well.

Great Awesome Food Wonderful 2 Wowon served me and my DAUGHTERS <3

Got take out cashew chicken and steamed rice. Prepared quickly, very tasty. Pleasant interactions with staff.

Great food and service Wine and beer served but no cocktails available.

The pad Thai taste like ketchup and was way too sweet, with frozen baby carrots. Rice for the green curry was an extra charge and dry.

Staff are very pleasant and food was excellent

Good thai food. Good service. Favorite part of the meal was the veggie spring rolls. Very yummy!

The service is friendly and pretty fast. The restaurant is usually empty and there is only one waiter. I dare not think what would happen if the restaurant gets crowded. The food portions are huge and filling. The food is tasty too. I like the Tom Yam soup and I heard that the mango salad is yummy too. Maybe Ill give it a try next time.

Ordered from here many times over the past 5 years... always something missing from the order. Order the same dishes, the food is not consistent. The food can be okay good 1/3 of the time but the rest of the time it s like I ve ordered from a different restaurant... play it safe ... chicken fried rice or soups! Probably will order again as a last choice.

We ordered food for a staff event, the delivery was late, the customer service was horrible. I would not recommend this restaurant. A BIG NO FOR THIS RESTAURANT

Terrible costumer service!!!! Very bad experience in a big order for the organization I work for. I called the Manager to complain that we were not given the 10% discount as advertised on the website after speaking with the manager for some time he was very rude to me over the phone. After I told him I would be writing a review about the poor customer service he hung up the phone. I will NEVER reccomend this restaurant to anyone after what I experienced.

Great food

Great service and delicious food. Love that they gave a daily special! Very reasonable price too.

I have ordered from here on multiple locations over the past year, however was rudely dismissed today when told that my location was too far and that my order would be cancelled as the restaurant was unwilling to send its only driver to my location. I am truly disappointed in the service I received today will not ever be giving this restaurant my business again.

Do not order after 4pm . This place lacks management. I order satay chicken like I always do . And got home and in the huge bags they give you there was was 2 sticks of meat no rice no veg. I called them and they told me I didnt say dinner. Well the menue only says satay and thats what I read and always said when ordering durung the day abd they have a rcord of what i order .well in short they wanted me to pay for another order and charge me delivery. Horrible service. The girl with the blonde hair that works in the day is a delight to deal with. In short Ill be trying the new Thai restaurant down the st on queen st east for evening meals and so will my sisters family and my friends. With the high cost of running a busniss in toronto this is no way in treating paying customers. In the end I want nothing for free I just want what I pay for period. Now lets open huge bag number 2 and see if its right. Ill let you you know how this new restaurant is.

Server was sitting next to us on her phone the whole time with the phone on loud, due to health and safety places where people are serving food tell their employees that they must not have painted nails. Two other customers came in and asked to see the menu the server barely looked up off her phone and pointed them to the menus. They obviously did not stay as she was quite rude. Otherwise the food was good, good plate size for the price. I wouldnt come here again.

Horrible service! the servers are worst and rude at even talking, specially a blond hair girl with dirty colored nails. While I ordered she hardly looked up from her phone and got my order wrong. You can hear the chefs fighting even. I thought to give this place another chance where I got frustrated with another server who was tall Indian guy. Again got my order wrong and did not get dishes I paid for. I would never recommend this place ever.

The worse quality was sitting area I would say as they charge the dishes. the food is just ok. I asked for spicy and it was way more spicy. The front attendants are very weak in communicating as I had trouble explaining how I want my food on spice level. Also I was terrified as I saw COCKROACH. I think the places like restaurant should be able to maintain hygiene but in this restaurant I found it very poor. I would recommend the other thai places over this one. bad experience....

The food is great. My favorite dish from this restaurant is the Curry Pad Thai. It always hits the spot. The ambiance is relaxed, dim lights, and quiet most of the time. Great for take-out as well

Really like the food here however will never be returning because of the most awful customer service experience of my life. We ordered takeout and upon arriving home, part of our order was wrong. When I called to request they remake the wrong order, they argued with me before reluctantly agreeing to remake the order. When we returned to the restaurant they would not give us the new order without us giving back the wrong order for them to throw out which is not normal practice in the hospitality industry and they did not mention it on the phone, otherwise we would have . We had left it at home, a 20 minute drive away and they accused us of trying to rip them off. So disgusted by the rude staff and their handling of this completely unnecessary situation.

Great authentic Thai restaurant with a very spicy twist on a few favorite dishes.

The food is not overcooked, reasonably priced and quite tasty.

The curries are ok, skip the pad Thai.

Amazing food!!!

Friendly staff. They have daily specials. Take-out is fast and fresh. Great restaurant!

Good for delivery. Pick up can be slow. Sometimes food is dry - noodles. More sauce. But overall reliable and good.

A nice little place for some good Asian cuisine and great service as well. Recommended going for a quick bite or to even dine in

i usually love the food there.. and the staff in general... but for some instance staff today doesnt seem to be friendly enough to take the order. hopefully next time i go i can update my review...

Very cute, very tasty. Really good food with good prices. Staff are super friendly. The calamari is to die for, and so is the phad thai. Very authentic and very flavourful. The restaurant is clean and cozy. Really nice for a date idea. Went multiple times and have never gotten sick from the food. Would rate 6/5 on this one if I could.

Hidden gem. Green curry chicken was amazing! Service is excellent!

Basic Thai food. This likely wont impress you, but it shouldnt disappoint either.

The portion sizes are huge. The flavours are great. I had the red curry and it was amazing. I would have liked it to come with rice on the side but having to pay $2-3 wasnt bad.

I finally got a change to try this place, probably better suited for sharing in groups. Ordering a dinner for two was ok, rice is hefty extra. Also they no longer offer the cocktails on menu. Will have to try larger group of take out.

Stumbled upon this place for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Ordered chicken pad Thai and a Malaysian Chicken Curry (delicious). I was hesitant at first because sometimes Thai restaurants have small portions. This was not the case! I could only eat half and I have a huge appetite. Price was very reasonable and the server was super polite and attentive. Would definitely recommend if youre in the area!! Next time Im in the area I will be back.

Ive had great experiences with the food in the past with their delivery service. But today, let me tell you how horrible it was with the customer service at the actual restaurant. Myself and my girlfriends first experience entailed calling prior to ordering and we were told there were quite a few vegan friendly options. Now, for some reason there are little to hardly one or two based off of what one of the waitresses said. We were told that there is fish sauce and non-vegan ingredients in the SPICE! Yes, the spices used to make most of the meals. Complete and utter bs, it felt like she had a grudge against vegans. We initially ordered the Appetizer Platter asking if we can get the rolls with no egg and she put our order in. 1 minute later another waitress tells us they use egg to adhere the rolls together and so she went and told the waitress to cancel the order. The first waitress then comes out of the kitchen, very condensendingly asking if we are vegan, we reply yes, and then she goes on to say the comment above, basically telling us that we cant and we shouldnt eat here because they are not a RAW vegan restaurant. We didnt ask for you to be a vegan restaurant, we simply asked if there were eggs in the spring rolls. Thats it. For the vegans out there, STAY AWAY. People with allergies and food sensitivities... STAY AWAY. There is way too much miscommunication, lack of knowledge and ignorance here, imagine someone who is allergic to egg, orders the spring roll and asks for no egg, only to find out there is egg used to adhere the roll together. I have two only two words for that. LAW SUIT. (-)5 Stars

The special is always super cheap (about $11.99) and comes with a ton of food. The food here is amazing, definitely a hidden gem! Try the garlic/pepper lamb for sure! The service is good and they get your food out quickly as well. Just remember to duck when you go to the washroom because the ceiling is super low, haha.

Good thai curry

AMAZING MALAYSIAN CURRY

Crispy thai beef is

went there about a month ago with my daughter. ordered the ginger beef and the pad thai. the beef was tuff and the pad thai tasted like ketchup. The waitress was not to friendly, dont know why, no smiles or thank yous. beware when you go not real thai food.

Large portions. Flavourful and fresh. My only issue is it doesn t seem as though they use different utensils for different dishes when serving out entrees as my Pad Thai tasted like green curry

The golden currey chicken is the bomb. The oodles of noodles.. is oodles of delish.. Yes, and now ive decided what im ordering for dinner right meow

I have wanted to try this place for a while. Food was standard Thai fare. Large portion and tasted fine. Ordered the Basil Chicken Special for the posted price of $9.99. When the cheque arrived they had changed the price! Not impressed with a place that is willing to nickel and dime its customers. If you decide to go, double check your bill before paying.

Food was delicious and generous portions. We were a group of 4 and we shared 4 different dishes. Each and everyone one of them fantastic with their own unique flavours.

I order soup and noodles. It was so tasty. I will visit again and again.

a tad expensive. $26 for lunch for 1 person

Good but not great Thai food.

The crispy beef I had was very good. However, I think they should consider including rice with their entrees instead of charging extra - it felt like a nickel and dime move.

Amazing food and nice portions cozy place

Mmmmmmmm

Havent been here in a couple of years cuz the quality was going downhill. Decided to give it another shot since it had been a while. With Thai to Go and Eatthai closed down, good Thai close by is hard to find. Well, the quality is still pretty bad. Ordered Pad Thai and Thai spring rolls. The Pad Thai is just like noodles and ketchup. Spring rolls didnt have much flavour. Also took 19 minutes longer than we were told it would take - 49 minutes in total. There will be not 3rd strike for me. Im outta here.

Ordered through UberEats. Order was cancelled 5 minutes after it was supposed to arrive (order was placed several hours in advance). Called and was told Uber had cancelled but the food was ready, so if i reordered they would send it immediately. Placed the same order again, called and was told food had been given to another customer so I would have to wait. Finally arrived 1 hour 12 minutes later, almost 2 hours after original order was supposed to arrive. Food was ok, but nothing special. I was offered 10$ credit on my next order for my inconvenience.

Amazing!great thai food and reasonable price

Pretty good, very large portion. Good vegetarian options. Fast delivery.

Food is great, the price is perfect.

The food was excellent. Service was great. I will go back again and again. All three of us loved our meals - I had green veg curry (spicy) and it was really wonderful. Thanks

1hr50min delivery two blocks away. Delivered to wrong address. Food rode around in car over an hour. Offered $8 credit on a $35 order. Lol byyyeeee

Have tried their food multiple times a look and it just never hits high enough in taste.

Tasty food

We were looking for a good dinner spot after 10pm and just happened to see this place. I didnt know what to expect, but the place looked like it had a lot of take out orders. The food was good and the staff friendly, couldnt ask for more from a late night dinner.

This small place with a soft atmosphere is great to enjoy lunch with a couple of friends. The food is some of the best Thai in the city and they dont skimp on the portions.

Extremely casual atmosphere - good for families. Food is far from authentic but still not bad.

I ordered a pad Thai and it was horrible! Wouldnt not go to this place again.

Delicious food, quaint trendy atmosphere but terrible, terrible service.

We get delivery food from the Friendly Thai pretty regularly. Its my Thai go to in the area. Strongly recommend the spring rolls, and the beef in oyster sauce. The pad Thai is okay...

Very meh service. But the food was delicious, so it was worth it.

Soup was excelent and the chicken bowl tasty. A little too much noddle for me.

The service was below average and the Pad Thai tasted like it was mostly made with ketchup.

Amazing food.

Great option for takeout. Quality and quick. Prices are on the higher-side for a takeout joint though.

Pretty tasty and well done. Lots of options. Nice seating and decor.

Love this place for a quick pick-up. Always get the Classic Curry Pad Thai and have enough for lunch the next day unless I have a mega appetite.

Great food for a good price. Havent had anything here that I didnt enjoy.

The food is awesome! The green curry is incredible!

Visited for my birthday dinner as we were in the area for Paintlounge. Was not my first choice as we had wanted to go somewhere else but it was closed. But boy was I happy I choose this place even though it was last min. Small venue but very nice place.. they were kind enough for us to come earlier than our reserved time as we had finished with Paintlounge early and also allowed us to put our canvases around to dry. Good menu selection.... we didnt order any appetizers as we had already had snacks before coming so we had to wait a little while for our main courses. And when they arrived. ...the smell and look and presentation of each dish was amazing! Chicken ginger....chilly n basil noodles. ..prawn red curry..grilled eggplant. . Chicken fried rice.. All food was great! Just the right amount of spice lvl.. and great price too! Will Def visit this resturant again!

Nope. Nope nope nope. The chicken satay was way overdone. We didnt even eat a while skewer of it - we werent even offered a discount on the bill. Pad thai was acceptavle but the portion was gigantic. You cant make up for poor quality by offering a huge quantity. Dont waste your time.

I never know with this place. Sometimes its fantastic...other times, just ok. A few times it was terrible. I think it depends on whos cooking that day. Im done with russian roulette dining. Not going back.

Been going here for years. As others have noted the place is a hit and miss. So Im rating it on the days that its a hit. Because when its good... Its the best Thai food in the city. Especially for the price.

Average Thai. Meat a little chewy. Reasonable price.

Basil tofu with is my fav. I bring a lot of clients here....they all love it. Pro tip ask for brown rice and sirracha instead of white rice.
