Stuck in Union Station during a snowstorm? That's ok, the newly renovated food hall has something for everyone, even for late night eats. Walked in to the station while waiting for a friend to catch a train out and had a craving for some noodles. Luckily, Bangkok Buri had just what I wanted. It's casual fast Thai food but the service was amazing and the cashier explained all the option for me as I had a hard time choosing between the Pad-Thai or the Drunken Noodles ( I went with the latter). They have a cool open kitchen so you can actually see your food being made while you wait at the end of the counter. Took about 5 minutes from my order to my dish being plated. Good menu (including vegan) options for weary train travellers. I'd recommend this over some of the other fast food options in the food hall. read more

What a surprise to find this wonderful vegan Thai restaurant in a food court in a train station. I would go to this station just to eat here. The food was delicious The open kitchen let you know your food was fresh. The wait for your order was short. We ordered Drunken Noodles with tofu. What great flavor! Jayujiak was like a Buddha bowl filled with such deliciousness!! We were lucky to find Bangkok Buri. Next time we are in Toronto we will definitely go here. read more

Ordered the panang curry with shrimp, cauliflower rice, and extra veggies... and was very unimpressed. The flavours of the curry fell extremely flat; it was quite one-dimensional and lacked all sort of seasoning. To be frank, the only taste was a weird coconut-y sweetness. While I had requested (and even paid for) extra veggies, I got none. The curry was filled to the brim with sweet potato chunks, 3-4 slices of bell pepper, and 1-2 pieces of broccoli. There were roughly ~4 shrimps; the seafood was underseasoned and bland. The cauliflower rice was interesting, but unfortunately made the entire panang curry watery. Overall, I was quite disappointed with Bangkok Buri. Next time, I'll go straight to RoyWoods, which is right next door and much more flavourful / tasty! read more

This is a new nice addition to the Union Station, new spot at the Union Station food court. Apparently, the same owner as Khao San Road, lower price but you get at least 90% of the flavour. I arrived right at noon, long line up for the second day, but they gave us chips to try. This helped when I was starving and lining up. I've ordered the drunkened noodles and find the noodle texture great, along with the sauce. However, I find the pork a little too sweet to my liking. I added $3 to add the shrimp to my noodles and tofu. I did like the added ingredients to my noodles. Anyways, I will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

We went there at noon and the line was not that long, thai express always gets the same amount of ppl in line too but the reason why they were moving so slowly is because it took them FOREVER to make one dish. The assembly line, the cooking line, I don't think the staff is really familiar with what they do, we literally waited almost 40 minutes before we eventually get our dish. The plastic container they use is very thin but the curry is very very hot, all of us got burnt because of that, and putting stuff hot like that into plastic container just gave me health concerns. The portion is really small, I don't eat that much usually but I still think it was not enough. I ordered the green curry, it tastes super good, super super good, so I wasn't that mad after. However waiting for 40 minutes for a food court location is just insane and im not going to give it another try unless I can get it thru ritual. read more

Bangkok Buri - Restaurant! - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Bangkok Buri is one of the vendors in the new Union Station Food Court. They have a nice setup in an end-unit, allowing lots of room for diners to wait for their orders. The space is very attractive, with bright colours, and an open kitchen, allowing you to see all the cooking being done to order. Their photos of all the dishes made it hard to decide what to order. Pad Thai? Drunken Noodles? Green Curry? It all looked so good! I settled on the Penang Curry (sweet potato, red pepper, broccoli, Thai basil, lime leaf, peanut sauce, Thai chili pepper, $11.00) with Steak (+$2.00) and an order of Buri Chips ($2.00). I watched it being cooked and dressed. Cool! It was a very colourful and attractive dish, with a red curry sauce contrasting against the white rice and green vegetables. It was topped with sliced red chili peppers. If only it tasted as good as it looked. It wasn't a bad dish but I don't think it lived up to its promise. I've come to expect rich flavours from Thai food and this fell just a little short for me. The grilled beef was tender and the sauce was nice and creamy. The chili peppers were more attractive than hot but that's not a bad thing. The Buri Chips were seasoned housemade potato chips. Not bad but nothing special. It's a decent offering for $2.00. Bangkok Buri seems to be one of the more popular spots in this food court. They had one of the longest lines. With every dish being cooked to order, be prepared to wait a few minutes, although they did seem to deliver the orders fairly efficiently. The variety and quality of food court food has evolved and improved a lot over the years but I still prefer a proper sit down meal. read more

I wasn't sure of what to expect. I've had pad Thai a couple of times before and it wasn't that great. The Penang curry caught my eye so I went with that and it was a great decision. There was a ton of chopped peanuts on top, that I absolutely love, and the curry mixed so well with the rice. The was a decent amount of meat and to be honest, I wasn't expecting very much from a food court meal. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

I'm torn between three and four stars. Based on the food I would give it 3 stars, but they get an extra 1star for the fact that they offer cauliflower rice! Not aware of many Thai places that offer that. Plus the rice was veryyyy good!!! I had veggie panang curry that I also enjoyed. The amount of veggies in the curry was good and the curry taste was also acceptable - a little bland for my liking so I added lots of tabasco and siracha but still later had to ask for more salt too (but that's personal preference). Staff was friendly and efficient. Would suggest: keeping salt and pepper sachets for those who like. Would also recommend staff to ask about drinks when taking orders. I forgot to order at the time and later it seemed like too much of a hassle and I just went to Tim's instead. read more

Bangkok Buri - Panang curry with cauliflower rice - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Went to Union Station's new food court downstairs at around 12pm on a weekday. Holy smokes the line was probably the longest for this place. I was prepared for a good 15-30min. wait. Isham came up to everyone in line and distributed menus. She also was open to giving her input as to what would serve our taste buds best! I told her I loveeeee spice! She told me she was Pakistani/Punjabi and loved spice too. Although she recommended the Drunken Noodles, I opted for the Red Curry. She told me to tell the staff at the front to add extra chili rings. I finally got to the front and they were okay with me giving them a $100 bill. I found a $10 any way...phew! I asked for it to be extra spicy and the girl said she would ask them to put in chilli flakes while cooking my meal as opposed to having them on top or on the side (a mistake a lot of places make). They called my name in about 10 mins or less. The girl who gave my order to me gave me a side bit of peanuts (which opened up in my purse and had to go in the garbage). She also gave me even more chillis. The curry was piping HOT. I walked from Union Station and took a subway to College Station and my food was still pretty warm. The dish was so incredibly yummy for food court food. Wow. It was saucy, spicey and most importantly full of vegetables. I opted for tofu as my protein source. My total was $12.43. Note* The sauces are all gluten-free and vegan! There are a lot of vegetarian options here. In other words, my tofu Red Curry was entirely vegan. Amazing job!!! Will definitely come back! read more

Sorry but this is a miss for me. I went on the first day and got the basil stir fry with rice. It costed about $15 after tax and portions were on the small side. I also waited pretty long in line but this is understandable since they just opened and it was at lunch time. The sauce for the stir fry was WAY too sweet. There was no subtlety at all...just pure sugar. I am not a fan, sorry. Maybe the noodles are better but I'm not that impressed to come back. read more

Bangkok Buri - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My husband and I tried this delicious Thai basil stir fry from Bangkok Buri. The flavors were nice, a good mix of sweet and spicy. The proteins we chose were chicken and steak. The rice was great with the stir fry as well. I really like the fresh veggies and sauce that accompanied the stir fry. The line is very fast and the service is great. You can also add more spice to your dish if you decide too. I would definitely eat here again and try some of the other tasty dishes. read more

Just passing through Union station and saw this Thai place and checked out the menu, I had plenty of time to check the menu over because they had a "lineup starts here" at THE END OF THE LINE!! I waited for about 15 minutes and watched customer after customer pass me by and the staff just looked at me, they had plenty of time to look up and tell me that the lineup started at the cash register. When I got to the cash and explained to the gentleman about how the sign is placed at the end of the line and his response was "it's complicated" and then he laughed.. I didn't find it funny one bit and then informed him that it doesn't take very long to move the sign and again his response was "it's complicated I know it should be moved" with an even bigger smile.... Because I was here to judge the food (really) and not the crappy staff responses I placed an order for the most simple thing on the menu, chicken pad Thai.. nothing more nothing less. So I waited some more...and some more.. Then when I received my order It had nuts poured all over my pad Thai, not once did the staff inform me that peanuts would be dumped into my meal nor was a sign posted that this would be done automatically. Thankfully for this establishment....I do not have an allergy to peanuts and if I did I would have no problem contacting my lawyer. CHICKEN PD THAI: -Cheep portion amount of actual noodles -Veggies in top we're freezing cold -Chicken portion was portion was poor -Sauce used to marinate precooked under portioned tasteless chicken was good. -Lime was also added without to meal without permission. Overall this place is all show and no go, if you can't even make a proper chicken pad Thai then you shouldn't be making food AT ALL! The staff must have known about the sign and have it setup that for personal entertainment, I've worked in many restaurants myself over the years and this is definitely something I would have laughed at. But Yelp didn't exists then like it does today. Smiles I would avoid this place at all cost, it's not sour grapes it just the reaction to really bad service, it's 2018 and you can't avoid this kind of bad service anymore. Clearly the staff doesn't care about the product they were putting out and sometimes that can be the result of bad management, which I don't think was the case here. Poor staff judgment is to blame for this one, hope the laughs were worth it. If you really want pad Thai I'd google maps the closest Thai Express (which is a 1.4km walk from union station, just north on University Ave) Oh and the thin plastic bowls are a nice touch too so when people are running through a train station trying to catch a late train because they spent 20 minutes waiting at the wrong sign while getting Horrid service they won't burn themselves or someone else.... no no... when it slips out the hands and hot scolding food fall everywhere it's a good idea... Union station was better off without this place :) read more

Loved the fact that this place was located right underneath the station. So convenience. I raced to catch my train and missed it so had time to spare. Decided to grab something from Bangkok Buri, they had quite a long line but it was going quickly and they had about three cooks and three people pushing, taking orders and packing them. Super efficient and QUICK! Bonus: Food was amazing. Pretty expensive but well worth it considering they make it as you order so it's fresh and piping hot. Even with the super fast service, the dish still loooks like it was professionally prepared. I was wowed. Can't wait to try their other dishes. Happy Eating Fellow Yelpers! read more

I'm bummed!! After a huge hypethe food court in Union station finally opened and I was super excited to have yet another amazing choice of food vendors near where I work! So one fine day I decided to get some food and share it with a co-worker. We got their famous chips, tofu pad thai and veggie green curry along with white rice. The pact I tasted a lot like any other pad Thai you would get from a takeout place and did not hold up to the infamous Legacy of ksr. The green curry was marginally better but the worst for me where the Buri chips. not only were they over fried and tough but they were also under seasoned and tasted stale. The service was also exceptionally slow. The reviews are correct when it comes to confusion around lining up - while it's a new setup and the customers don't know which way to go the staff does nothing to direct them or even try to help them. Not sure if I would give them a try again because not only was the food underwhelming but the wait was exceptionally long. yes they do smile and say sorry for the wait but what does that do for you? I would rather walk and get real KSR take out versus eating here. read more

Bangkok Buri is another vendor that has opened in the Union Station food court. There's been lots of talk about it being the best Pad Thai in the area, which is high praise considering the myriad of Thai Restaurants downtown, so it was the target for one of my lunch expeditions. But first a word of warning to those interested in trying it out: the lunch line-up is long, like exceedingly long. Not only is it a big confusing where to go (go to the cash register), but the line cooks seem to work very slowly. From the time of ordering to picking up my dish I had waited for over thirty minutes, which is simply not acceptable for a take-out location. It didn't help that while waiting I saw a bunch of customers line up at the "waiting for food line" and waste their time. Now the food itself is actually good; think Thai Express, but higher quality and more ingredients put into the dishes. I ordered the chicken pad thai which came neatly prepared in a small container with cabbage, carrots, peanuts, bean sprouts and a slice of lime. The portion was pretty small and certainly eye raising for the price, but there was a moderate serving of chicken and noodles that ended up being surprisingly filling. The chicken was just okay, but the sauce used for marinating was perfect. Overall the dish was very flavourful for a takeout joint, but nothing special compared to some restaurants I've been to. You should probably tell the cashier about your food preferences too since they will dump all the peanuts and ingredients in without asking. Three stars. It's better than the average Thai Express, but for the wait time I'd rather just go sit down at Sukhothai or something instead. read more

Bangkok Buri - Chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was about to go to Jurassic Park to support our team Toronto Raptors, when I decided to go to the foodcourt at the Union Station because I was so hungry. As I checked out the foodcourt, I saw Bangkok Buri, and I saw they have one of my favorite curry dish the Penang Style Curry, and so I ordered one and bon appetite. I did not regret it and surely be coming back there , most probably together with my wifey. read more

Atlast the Best Pad Thai! I really love the combination of sweet, sour and spicy plus the vegetables on top are fresh. I always try Pad Thai from different restaurants even in Middle East but this is on my top list now. Price: worth it! Serving and portion: everything was even since they are using scoops in portioning the ingredients (i had to bring half of it at home since its quick filling food) Service: pretty fast and nice staff (but if you're not patient in waiting, avoid lunch hours as it is their peak time) read more

Bangkok Buri - Red curry of the day, very underwhelming in ingredients and taste - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food: solid meh. Spicy, but flavorless. Failed to hit the sweet, salty, tart parts of the tongue. You can make better yellow and red curries from a jar. Service: below average. Ran out of chicken in the afternoon leaving you to choose between tofu or steak for $2 more. Since the special of the day was chicken, couldn't even get that w/ the steak at the slightly discounted special price. Meanwhile, all the other food vendors had plenty of food and were restocking as they ran low. The guys taking orders and prepping food need better communication skills or need to stop hitting the pipe before their shift. Seems like management needs to improve operations and customer service. TL;DR: eat elsewhere. read more

Delicious Thai food. Portions are very adequate. Price on the little higher than average. Recommended if you are on York concourse.

Not very good, I got like 2 small pieces of chicken in my drunken noodles bowl and a couple slivers of vegetables. Not good value at all and flavours were below average. The employees were nice but I Wouldn't go back. read more

This was our first time there. We had the green curry (one tofu and one chicken). Lots of crunchy vegetables, grilled protein, delicious sauce and perfectly cooked rice for only 11$.

I saw a long line here the other day so I thought I'd try it out on my way home when there wasn't a line. The customer service was pretty good and the spring rolls were delicious but the portions are small and I guess I didn't know what I was ordering when I got the Jatujak. The Jatujak is under the greens section and it's a salad which I didn't realize. It's served cold with about 6 small vermicelli noodles. It says glass noodles which to me are larger and clear so I wasn't expecting that and there are so few I'm not sure why they are there at all. The flavour is good but I asked for extra sauce as it comes on the side in a small container and I figured I'd need more. I used two sauces in the end. I also got home and threw it in my frying pan to make more of a stir fry which is what I thought it was. I might go again but I'd definitely order something else. read more

Good quality food for being inside a food court. I really like their Pad Thai. During the noon hour rush, they are more efficient now than when they first opened. The staffs are nice and always ask you about their service. I tried ordering a Thai iced tea but they don't have any so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, 3.5 and a good choice if you don't know what to eat at the union food court. read more

Bangkok Buri - Drunken Noodles with Chicken - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wish I could give this place a 3.5, but I guess I have to round down to 3. Bangkok Buri is a perfectly serviceable fast-food Thai place - there's no reason to seek it out specifically, but if you're at Union Station around mealtime give it a shot. I had the Red Curry with tofu, which cost me $11 before taxes. Decent value, I'd say. The sweet potatoes and pineapple in the curry add some nice flavour and texture, and the sauce had a nice bit of heat to it (it's certainly not as spicy as the 3 chile pepper rating would lead you to believe though). Portion size was fine, and the service was quick. I'd eat rice or noodles over any other sort of fast food, so this place is a very welcome addition to the Union station food court. read more

Their Pad Thai is worth the hype!! The ingredients are fresh and well-cooked it doesn't taste like any other fastfood. The chicken is juicy and tasty. You wil leave full and satisfied. My friend introduce this place and I kept coming back. read more

Bangkok Buri - The best Pad Thai I had so far! - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have been here on three separate occasions. One time was a late lunch, to avoid the long line at lunch. I ordered the baan baan with tofu and the veggies were very fresh and crunchy. The sauce was delicious and I felt like I overall had a decent helping. I wasn't hungry by the end of it. Great vegan place even though I am not vegan. Second time I was eating at another place in the foodcourt but bought the buri chips for $2. They were good for the price although wish it had more crunch. Wish they fried it fresh rather than fry some ahead of time to box up. Third time, I had the purple haze Thaihollandaise donuts. It came in a paper bag and there were under 10 donut holes rolled in this delicious-smelling purple sugar. It's supposed to be taro flavour, I'm not quite sure that's taro but it was very good. I'd like to try the other donut flavours like cinnamon and mango coconut. They also have spring rolls as a side and I also want to try that. Good service each time, recommend you to visit when it's not lunch rush. They have little menus you can take away so if you work in the financial district, it can come in handy deciding ahead of time what to order. read more

Wanted to try something new so took the 10 min hike from the office to Union Station food court to try Bangkok Buri. Ordered the Drunken Noodle with chicken. Very small pieces of red peppers, mushrooms, green beans and chicken. The dish was flavourful but the portion of food compared to the takeout container and price was disappointing. I would recommend adding whole pieces of veggies and more noodles. Side of buri chips was a nice accompaniment but some type of dipping sauce (peanut) would have elevated the chips. All sauces and curries are vegan and gluten free. I may try again for the cauliflower rice and curry but with so many tasty options downtown, may be a few months before reviewing. read more

My coworker and I tried this place out yesterday for lunch. I had the green curry rice with chicken and my coworker had a noodle soup. Both are mediocre. The noodle bowl portion is rather small and too salty according to my coworker. The curry didn't have enough taste and spices. The chicken was white meat in chunks not slices (means hard to season and dry). Overall, for the price, even for the quality and taste, thai express is a better option to me if you need a foodcourt lunch. read more

I was there today with a work friend for lunch. I had the Red Curry with Tofu and my friend had the Penang curry with chicken. We both had a sickening feeling soon after we finished our lunch. Something about the sauce that just wasn't right. She had a headache as well, which we think was due to the food. The food itself was not very great. Tasted ok. But we've had way better. Too much rice in the bowl with not enough curry. The red curry was not even spicy (was told it was the spiciest) and it did not have the distinctive Thai curry taste to it. I should admit, I wanted to try out the new place on Union food court because of the line up. I presumed the food was good. But I saw that they were slow to fill the orders and that's what was causing the huge line up. We are not going back. Not a good experience :( read more

After the name association, I thought the food would be just as great as Khao San Road. In a word: no. I ordered the gwai teow [noodle soup]. The taste was dreadful, limp, dull, almost like making instant noodle without the flavor packet; wished it tasted as good as instant noodle. The grilled chicken had no flavor, very dry. One of the cherry tomatoes was rotten. Didn't bother with the rest. Nothing exciting here... move along... read more
