Came here for dinner with a group of friends on a Sunday night. Luckily we were after the dinner rush because otherwise the place was quite busy. After reading reviews on here I wanted to try the snow shrimp but unfortunately they were out. Our group instead ordered the mushroom fritters and deep fried tofu. We had requested peanut sauce to go with out tofu instead of what they usually served and they were accommodating. The mushroom fritters were delicious and were eaten up quickly. I'm surprised no other restaurant I've been to has served battered enoki mushrooms! Our group got an assortment of mains and all were beautifully plated and served. Usually when this happens that means there isn't a whole lot but I must say that this place gives you proper and full servings! All in all it was a great experience and I was definitely pleased to have been here. The others in my party agree and I would heartily recommend others to come here for excellent Thai food in the area! Reasonable prices, good servings and beautiful presentation (a plus for those that take pictures of their meal). read more

Absolutely incredible nook. The green curry, and the two mango desserts (mango sticky rice and mango mousse) are all incredible. This will be the only Thai restaurant I'll go to when I crave it, since I live nearby. read more

This is a great cozy place to chill and eat. The food is great, quite authentic. Great service as well. Maybe not as great for large groups like 8plus as the place isnt too big. But still great for smaller groups. Tried the Bolan Pad thai which was great. Also had the bolan thai iced team, loved it as well. For dessert had the mango sticky rice which was probably my favorite part of the meal. My girlfriend has the thai fried beef with curry which was good too. Crispy beef was really good. She has the ice cream with tapioca for dessert which was ok, not as special as the sticky rice. Staff was friendly as well. Overall very good food and service. read more

We dropped in without reservation tonight after a movie. The place was full and we had to wait 10 minutes or so for a table to clear. Once seated the service was efficient. The restaurant is small with only 2 servers so they can only move so fast. The menu is quite extensive but we settled on a golden curry with shrimp and a peanut curry with veggies. Both were quite spicy but very delicious. I think this place is a "keeper" and we'll be back to try different menu items. read more

Enjoyed this place a lot. Menu was extensive and caters to vegetarian and vegan needs. It's quiet and intimate and the free desert was just a lovely touch. Will be going back. read more

This review is for a last-minute dinner in August for from-out-of-town guests. The owners of this small but pleasant restaurant were kind, hospitable and very accommodating. We had no problems finding parking since it was a week night, though the restaurant got full. The food was very delicious and the presentation was aesthetically pleasing. The mushroom fritters and flavorful vegetarian pumpkin curry are particularly memorable. The -1 star is because of the lack of a ground floor washroom, nor was there one in the vicinity, which was a problem for the older guests. read more

Delicious and Authentic Thai food in Mt Pleasant Village! Arguably the best Pad Thai in Toronto (the Bolan Signature Pad Thai will be sure to surprise anyone who has tried the countless bland versions across the city). The relaxed, cosy ambience and food artistry are sure to make you want to come back for more! Be sure to tell the chef how much spice you like as they can cater to any palate. The E-San Som Tum is perfect if you need something light but super spicy. The Ka-prao Gai Kai-Dow is straight from Thailand! Don't forget the mango sticky rice! read more

Bolan Thai is a great small little place that offers delicious Thai food located at Yonge and Eglinton. My first impression of the place was that it is small but the decor is quite interesting. There is a shelf attached to the wall with bottles of soy sauce from Thailand and Thai spices. On a humid day the AC is not very strong but they have two fans to cool the place down. In terms of the seats they are mainly wooden tables. Their orange coloured menus are unique, small, and interesting to flip through in terms of the design. The menu is bounded by a plastic spiral holder and each page includes a picture of a destination from Thailand. It was like flipping through a photo book or a postcard collection They offer lots of variety. For instance they have variations of red curry such as peanut red curry or pineapple red curry. I decided to try the pineapple red curry. My first impression was that the presentation is very cute as it comes with rice that is moulded into a star shape so it makes it fun to eat. The portions are good as well and comes with a good amount of chicken. As for dessert I highly recommend the mango sticky rice. The presentation was very good and too pretty to want to eat it. The taste was amazing as well as there was lots of coconut flavour. The mangos were sliced, sweet, fresh, and wrapped around the sticky rice like a flower. The texture if the rice was a little hard but I believe it is meant to be like that. What an amazing way to finish off a good meal. I had forgotten but you can also check in to Yelp to try the dessert of the day. The service was great and the food preparation was quick as well Great place and will definitely be back! read more

Beautiful decor in a petite restaurant off the main road. This little joint is packed with flavour and great lunch specials. You can choose an entree with fried wontons or soup. I chose the wontons, they were typical but my colleague chose the soup and it looked really tasty! The pad Thai is a little on the salty side but I think that's typical of Thai places right? I think next time I'll order the green curry because the rice comes in a shape of a star!! The service was alright, very quick encounters with ordering, getting the food and paying, nothing resonated with me. read more

Best Thai food in town. I am a big fan of Thai food and Haven been eating it for 10+ years. This is one of all the excellent places I have dined in my life and I haven't eaten all across north America. It is smaller, cozy, nice ambience with tasty food. It was served tastefully in nice plates and dish presentation The service is also friendly. More mom and pop but also professional which make me like it even more. read more

Small, quaint and reminding me of such establishments in Thailand, we come here once a month. The food is really good and they can tone up or down the spice levels as requested. The portion sizes are generous as well. Reasonably priced with excellent service I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I had a dinner with my friends and we shared food which allowed me to try a few dishes. I loved mango salad and fresh rolls. The ingredients were all very fresh and perfectly balanced. Bolan Pad thai was great and it had a quite unique composition and again very nice balance (ginger chicken with rice is also good). I had mango sticky rice as a desert and this thing is great! And again it is about the right balance. I can say that it was one of my best dinners and it was the first time I tried thai food of such high quality. Also a few words about the interior. It's a wonderful place for a cozy dinner. The restaurant has a home atmosphere, nice and clean interior with soft light and good background music. It's a kind of atmosphere when East meets West. Strongly recommend. read more

We ordered takeout from Bolan the other night, food was terrific, everything was fresh and delicious. We used the online ordering option which was super easy and had a neat feature that allowed you to schedule delivery time, I was able to place an order early in the day for an 8pm delivery. Looking forward to ordering from there again. read more

Summary: New Thai spot in the Mount Pleasant/Eg area. 4 stars for food. Lunch special is good value. Wish their take out containers were plastic instead of styrofoam. Food: I decided to try their lunch special and ended up getting the chicken pad thai. It was delicious - noodles weren't drenched in sauce, still chewy and the flavour was well balanced (salty, sweet, sour). I was told that the lunch portions are smaller than their dinner portions but it was plenty of food for me and I'm a big eater. Also, came with a side, which I chose the thai pumpkin soup, which was essentially similar to a butternut squash soup consistency/flavour, finished with a bit of coconut milk. Rating: I give this joint a 4 stars but need to try other things on the menu. read more

Bolan Thai Cuisine - Chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great place for authentic Thai food! They're one of the places that is authorized by Thai embassy as the authentic thai restaurant. We had vegetarian roll, bolan special pad thai, khao soi and many more. Deserts are also a must try especially the ice cream tapioca. As always I ordered thai ice tea, my husband had the thai coffee which is different from the coffee you buy from any chain coffee shops. It tastes very refreshing yet not too light. They also offer a variety of thai cuisine products including the thai iced tea leaves powder and bottled thai coffee. I now regret that I didn't purchase any. We will definitely revisit this place and highly recommend it to everyone. read more

The service here was super friendly and professional, but I found the spring rolls AND the Pad Thai were both way too sweet. It tasted like there was much more sugar in the sauce for the Pad Thai, than most places seem to add. I prefer a more savoury style of Pad Thai, I guess. Everyone else seems to love the Pad Thai here, though; don't let that stop you from trying this place. read more

My gf and I ordered from Bolan based on the gorgeous pics, rave reviews and the menu selection. First off, they got our order wrong. They delivered us a lemongrass soup instead of the rice dish we ordered. But hey, mistakes happen. Really not a big deal. Secondly, the pad thai and khao soi we ordered were bland and flavourless. But still, not a big deal. What IS a big deal is when my gf has an allergic reaction to the food despite the restaurant assuring us that none of the dishes would come into contact with any peanuts or peanut by-products. That is utter BS! It's bad enough eating mediocre thai food, let alone eating it while determining whether your partner needs to be rushed to hospital. Good news: she's ok. Bad news: our search continues for good local Thai food that both delivers AND won't kill my gf. read more

The restaurant is small and intimate and the staff are really friendly - always a bonus to order Thai food in my native language. It's such a great addition to the neighbourhood. The food is authentic and super yummy. I ordered a delivery tonight and the food still looks and tastes perfect. Great place, couldn't recommend more. read more

Someone else commented on the pad see ew being a winner and I can second the notion! Best I had in midtown -- highly recommend

I am a regular here and this is the best Thai in the neighborhood. I enjoy their spicy eggplant and green curry.

Very nice small place with excellent service! I took the Bolan Pad Thai, and that's the best one I've ever tasted. For that price, don't waste your money in fast food pad Thai restaurant!! read more

Beautiful, cozy space that we went to for my birthday last year. We were the only ones in the restaurant which made us feel special. It's not a big space that can accommodate around 20 people. I ordered pad thai which was beautifully presented with a thin layer of egg draped over the rice noodles and delicate greens poking up. It was so so good, authentic and vegetarian, with fresh peanuts and lime and high quality flavoring. If I recall correctly the bill came to ~$30 incl. tax and tip for 2. Service was good, and the food and bill came in a reasonable time frame. Would definitely return and recommend as the menu looked appetizing and varied. read more

Excellent place! Well located, nice deco... Great customer service, spring rolls and tapioca mango desert were AMAZING! Will come back for sure! read more

The first thing you notice upon entering the restaurant is that ambiance is rather warm and comforting. I wasn't quite feeling like pad Thai so I instead ordered a curry dish. While the flavour profile didn't disappoint I was taken aback by the "thinness" of the dish. It didn't seem to have the appropriate curry to chicken and veggie ratio. The service was friendly and food was brought out relatively quickly. I may give this place another shot in the future if I am in the area. read more

I've been to Thailand before but I have to say that this restaurant makes better Thai food than most of restaurants I've been in Thailand They offer great quality food, however very affordable, especially lunch menu I will definitely keep coming back read more

I wandered into this place for lunch on a weekday. It's not a super noticeable joint off the street but when you walk inside, the interior is nice, quaint and quite beautiful with a lot of character. The service was also great. They greet you and check up ample amounts too to make sure you have what you need and are super friendly. I ordered the red curry dish here, which was really good. I'd recommend it if you're in the mood for curry. This place is worth checking out. read more

I tried the Bolan Pad Thai it was awesome. I am also a huge fan of the Khao Soi! Great neighbourhood gem.

Another boring, westernized, dumbed down "Thai" restaurant. In a world with cooks like Bo Songvisava, Andy Ricker, and David Thompson, where we hunger for sincerety and authenticity why do we still allow places like this to proliferate? This is the same tasteless, gloopy, inauthentic food that has been passed off as Thai since the '80s. We deserve better. read more

All Thai restaurants in Toronto should watch out for this one! Other than its location of not being in the downtown core area, its food was just over the top! All dishes were not just beautifully presented but tasted amazing! The snow shrimp is a must order dish in my opinion - its a twist to shrimp tempura deep fried with popped rice bites(super crunchy!) Although the store claims its the first in market to serve Pad Thai in an egg crepe, Linda's @ Shops on Don Mills actually served it years ago but the use of mung bean noodles really allowed the flavours to be integrated with the noodles and the sweet and sourness was just right. My friend ordered the Pad Sew Ew and in her words, it brought her back to the days in Thailand! read more

I'm Thai and wanna say it is one of really nice Thai Cuisine in Toronto, can say it is authentic one because chef and staffs are Thai. Also, dishes were very fancy, have much more beautiful decoration compared with other authentic Thai restaurants in downtown Toronto. The location is a bit far, but I think it's worth to try to have a great and fancy Thai meal and sharing with your family and friends. read more

I went and tried their soup at the restaurant and it is honestly the best Thai lemongrass soup I have ever had in Toronto. It left such an impression that I ordered it for takeout. However, when you order takeout they are extremely stingy and don't give you any broth and so many noodles. I thought it was misleading because in the restaurant when you order it, it's overflowing with delicious broth. I just felt it was unfair for customers who order takeout and the ratio for the broth to noodles is incredibly disproportionate. I was sick and wanted to have some soup, ended up having dry flavorless noodles instead. read more

This is a little mom and pop shop that just opened a year ago. They are very good at making EVERYTHING! I enjoyed the mojito, Mai Thai, Thai ice tea, and BBQ chicken with papaya salad and sticky rice. The service is slow but the taste and presentation make up for it all!! I love the care they take into making you feel like you're in Thailand. The ambiance filled with bottles of fish sauce is neat too. read more

GREAT Thai food. Since moving to Toronto I've searched around for good Thai and out of maybe 6 places (not many really but still) this restaurant is certainly at the top. The curries, springrolls and Khao Soi noodles are delicious. Really flavourful and fresh. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

Amazing food! Try the garlic beef and the iced tea. and the mango with sticky rice

Definitely one of the best, if not the best, Thai restaurants I've been to so far in Toronto. It's been a long time since I've had very good Thai food, so this was definitely a welcome and refreshing experience. The pad kee mao was flavourful and filled with so many different layers of flavour--the way Thai food should be, unlike most Thai places that serve up very one-dimensional dishes where one flavour dominates the rest. Dishes are nicely presented. Service is friendly and efficient. It's a small place, seems like a mom and pop shop. Only about 25 seats or so. It's nonetheless nicely decorated with a bit of charm. Good luck to them! read more

Worse experience of my life! Not child friendly so we have no choice but to get take out. Told us "30 minutes everything fresh" I clearly and loudly said NO ONIONS on everything . I go 35 minutes to pick up my order and it's not ready, they tried to make me pay twice . Ten minutes later I get the food to find out the portions are small and filled with onions . I tried to call by the phone is ringing and no one is picking up . My wife said the food is bland, taste like frozen store bought food. I have no idea how this place is always busy with rude service and terrible food. read more
