I've had Jatujak bookmarked because it was listed as one of the best Thai restaurant in Toronto by a blog I follows, so I decided to try it. Environment: Located at the 401/Lawrence neighbourhood, the area is quite quiet even though it is not too far from the Shops at Don Mills. Judging from the lack of Pokestops nearby, it doesn't seem like this area of town gets a lot of traffic. However, the restaurant is really popular despite its location. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and were able to get a table for 3 easily, but by 6:30pm people had to wait for a table. The interior of the restaurant is really charming and I like that they highlight some of their popular dishes on the mural on the wall. In terms of space, there were about 15 tables, but no large tables, so I think the biggest walk in group they can accomodate would be 6 people. Food: So the big thing I noticed immediately upon taking a glence of the menu is that they charge extra for eats. For many of the dishes, it's +$2 for beef or chicken and +$3 for shrimp, while the default is vegetables and tofu. This pricing trick brings many of the dishes to close to the $15 price point. We ordered 4 items in total: sausages for appetizer, green curry with beef and stir fry egg plants with shrimp for main, and mango sticky rice for dessert. The sausages were decent but not very flavourful, though I quite liked the sweet and sour dipping sauce it came with. Green curry was really good, and just the right amount of spiciness for me. The curry had green pepper and bamboo shoots along with the beef that I paid extra $2 for. It came with a bowl of rice and it was perfect to have the curry with. The stir fry egg plants was really disappointing in terms of how little shrimp we ended up getting. We paid $3 extra for the shrimp and guess what, we only got 3 pieces of them, which basically translates to $1 per piece. We asked the server about it, and she said they used to give 5 pieces, but they now have "bigger" shrimps so they dropped the quantity to 3. The flavour of the egg plants was still good though. The highlight of the night was hands down the mango salad! The presentation was amazing, coupled along with its great coconuty taste, it ended the meal on a high note. The mango wasn't fully ripped, because they need it to be a little raw to hold its shape, but it paired very well with the flavour of the coconut syrup. Service: They took our order from an iPad to ensure the order tranferred to the kitchen correctly. There wasn't a designated server for our table, so we could call any server for service. However, since there were only 3 servers during the busy weekend dinner hour, it felt that they were often overwhelmed and it was difficult to get their attention. Overall, I think the prices are higher than what I would like to pay for considering they charge extra for the meats. The only good dishes I had that night were the green curry and the mango sticky rice dessert. I wouldn't return for another visit. read more

Delicious Thai food! Spring rolls are amazing. Mango salad & curry chicken or shrimp is super good

We tried the Pad kee Mao Chicken and lemon grass chicken wings. Gaeng Panang was good too. read more

Jatujak has amazing thai food, large servings and fast friendly service. Also available on UberEats. Ordered veggie cold rolls, tom kha soup, gaeng kiew whan and the pad thai. Will definitely be coming back again! Pros There is a huge 2nd room at the back. Cons Hard to find parking in the plaza. Damage $47 after tax, pre tip. read more

I quite enjoyed my experience at Jatujak. After hearing very good things about it, we made a reservation for a party of 8 on a Sunday. It actually didn't get too busy until after 6:30. The food was quite good across the board. I tried the pad kee mao instead of my usual pad thai - it was not too spicy (despite having 2 chili peppers) and was yummy. Next time, I would also like to try their mango sticky rice - the pictures look amazing. read more

I'm not Thai, but from what I hear, this place is the real deal. Jatujak is located in a small plaza on Victoria Park with really odd parking, but there is a decent amount of it. The interior has this adorable chalk art wall that was really fun to look at while we waited for food. There's an extra room on the side with seats so the place is actually decently-sized. We ordered the pad thai and red panang curry. It costs extra for meat - $3 for shrimp, $2 for chicken and beef. Tofu/veggies are free. The curry was so good. I like curry but I've never liked it this much. So flavorful - savory, creamy and smooth without being dense with a slight kick. This has one chili pepper on the menu - I don't do well with spicy foods but this was totally fine and definitely made the dish better than if there was no spice to it. You must get this. We got this with beef. (9.95+2 dollars). The pad thai was good - not mindblowing. Hard to say because the curry was such a good first impression. The tanginess surprised me at first and it's very tomatoey and a bit sharp tasting. The texture of the noodles was good and the dish was very saucy. It was a good contrast to the curry - I think if I had the pad thai alone it would have been overwhelming. I probably could have just eaten the curry. We got dessert after - the mango sticky rice. This was also really, really good. I'm still dreaming of it. Apparently I've had it before, but I totally forgot - clearly wherever I had it, it didn't leave an impression. The flavors are balanced really well - the sweetness and smoothness of the coconut milk, the texture and slight tanginess of the mango, and the sticky rice. And the dish is beautiful too! Service was courteous, but quite slow even without the restaurant ever filling up. I didn't mind too much as I had time, but it seemed to take quite a while to get the waitresses' attention. We were almost done our curry by the time the pad thai came. Though the restaurant never filled up (Wednesday night), there was a steady stream of takeout orders. Great place if you want to get Thai food! read more

The best Thai around. Mango chicken is a must! And I love every dish with pineapple. 10/10! Oh and the Thai curry puffs!

This place has got to be my favorite Thai spot as of yet. We called when we were 20 mins away and they took our reservation sweetly. When we got there we were seated right away, and the place was pretty busy. We ordered two soups, one of the coconut and one of the tomato ones, they were SO SO delicious! We ordered curry puffs and they were made to perfection, we also ordered the springs rolls- they were pretty good but not the best I've had. The peanut sauce wasn't phenomenal but it's all good because the overall experience was fantastic. The service was wonderful and we really enjoyed ourselves. I will certainly be returning for more. read more

Pretty decor inside but it's definitely not the best place to put a nice Thai restaurant like this. I would have expected it to be in a better plaza. Aside from location and lack of parking, I really loved their food and their service was impeccable. We were greeted right away even on a very busy night. I had a date night with the boyfriend and they sat us right away. We ordered the pad Thai and the green curry. Pad Thai: was amazing ! I've always liked to try different restaurant's pad Thais because it seems to be one of the staples and you really can't go wrong. Theirs was decent and saucy and a little tangy (something I love about pad Thai). I definitely enjoyed it and would come back again to try something else :) Green curry: Their green curry was so spicy but so flavorful! You know when you buy bamboo cans from the supermarket ? And they're the Thai bamboos? The green curry tasted of that !! It also came with rice! A lot of places don't come with rice. read more

The food is excellent. Pretty much any dish you order is good. The prices are about right for what you get.

We visited this place based on good reviews since we were in this area... And loved it. We ordered Cashew Nut Stir Fry and Gaeng Penang Curry. The cashew nut was soy-sauce based and we liked Penang more. The decor is pretty simple and cool, would love to visit again. read more

The food is delicious! We ordered pad Thai and green and red curry chicken and shrimp. So amazing read more

I was not impressed with the food, had no taste and pale! Atmosphere was okay and service as well but had the glass noodle and pineapple fried rice. Rice was so over cooked and beef was hard. Glass noodle was so dark like the bottle of dark soy was put on! DO NOT GO There save your money! I'm a fan of Thai food and comparing this to salad king downtown read more

Came here for lunch with my sister and niece and really enjoyed the food here. Good Thai food at reasonable prices. I enjoyed their appetizer puff and the pad Thai. Would come back to eat here again. read more

I went there for a Friday girl's night. I made a reservation one day ahead through Yelp and get the response very quickly. The food there is great, as what it says street food. Pad kee mao is my favourite. The strong spiciness and fresh lime sourness combine perfectly. But the vegetables are very raw which are not my type, just my personal preference. This is my first time to have Tom Kha soup. I like this creamy coconut flavour with a variety of Asian herbs I'm not able to name. Tom yum soup is also recommended. I prefer this one to PAI. Right, for the appetizer I ordered a shrimp chips to share with my friends. The sauce coming with the shrimp chips tastes awesome! Talking about the dessert, Tapioca coconut pudding is way beyond my sweetness extream.... Overall, it is a good place to hang out with friends if you are around Scarborough area. read more

This was really good. First time dining here, but did do takeout once before. Ordered the Jatujak Fried Rice, Pad See Ew, Holy Basil Chicken, Red Curry and some appetizers. Everything was great! Good quantity and it was just right for our group of 4 adults and 4 kids. Amazingly, the kids really enjoyed it too. Especially the noodles and rice. Overall really great, service was good as well and cost was fair. I'm sure we will be back! read more

Yay: Best thai food in GTA? Reasonable price as well? Nay: Parking is a little sketch.... Lunch menu prices are awesome. Portion is enough for the party usually. Pay cash and get 10% off. Lunch specials work on Weekends too. Definitely worth coming to give them a dry. Favorite: Pad Kee Mao read more

Speed Read: 1) Great Shrimp Chips 2) Pad Thai, ice tea (ok) 3) Mandatory tips for party over 6 I am not too familiar with Thai food to comment on authenticity, so I will comment on how I like the food. Starter: Shrimp chips taste great. it's different than what you will find in super market. Texture is more dense, and taste sweeter. The taste is very unique. Fried Chicken Wing is way too dry. Pad Thai has too much sauce and it is too sweet for my taste. Thai ice tea: The tea is too too sweet. I can hardly taste the tea. I had Thai ice tea that is also sweet but it has a much stronger tea taste to compete with the sweetness. Mandatory tips for party over 6? No thanks! Great service and great tips goes hand in hand. read more

Jatujak street thai food isn't bad, its on par with other thai restaurant I have been to. My go to dish is the pad thai it tasted great I like that they place the peanuts and bean sprouts on the side, I had the chicken and it was tender and portions are good. The pad woon sen was also good with beef both non spicy. I don't take a lot of spice and the green curry chicken was not bad either. I would recommend this place for good tasty thai food. The service on the other hand correlates with the 'street' style service. read more

Great Thai food in a casual setting. Friends and I came here for a really late dinner - right before closing. Despite the time, they said it was fine for us to dine in. We ordered the mango chicken, khao soi chicken, Thai iced tea, mango sticky rice, and massaman chicken curry. The khao soi chicken was good. The chicken was tender, the curry was flavourful, and it was a bit different since it contained coleslaw. Contained a lot of crunchy noodles which is always a plus for me. I would order this again if we came back. The Thai Iced tea was a rather small portion and a bit too sweet for my tastes. I wouldn't order this item again. The mango sticky rice was good, but the mango wasn't as sweet as I would have liked it. Nonetheless, the portion size makes it great for sharing and I would still get this again if I were to come back. Boyfriend enjoyed his massaman chicken and friend also enjoyed his mango chicken. Overall, for price to quality of food ratio, it's decent. I would recommend this place to a friend. read more

Don't bother ordering delivery, the food quality is truly different! Please go to the establishment and eat there in person, you will find a great difference. I ordered food from this place only to feel a bit disappointed. After a year or two, I was in the area and decided to grab lunch with my partner. I wasn't expecting a lot considering it was empty and I did not had a great memory from the first order. I asked for recommendations and the lady pointed to one of the lunch specials called pad Kee mao. I asked for no spice and she accommodated very quickly. I got that and wow! It was very delicious and the taste buds on my tongue danced a bit. I also got the mango sticky rice dessert, it was very good! So glad to have tried it as I saw the same dessert on The Best Food Review Show Ever on YouTube. It was also a dessert that my partner could eat, too. What a relief.... A few months later, I wanted the taste again so I... Ordered delivery for the same thing but the taste was off and did not taste fresh. I think Thai food tastes best when it's just cooked. read more

This is one of the best Thai restaurant wether street food or not. The food is authentic, fresh and absolutely delicious. Be sure to order Jatujak's lunch noodle specials. The price and quality of food is a bargain. The people working at Jatujak are always courteous and orders are promptly served. I highly recommend this Thai restaurant to anyone. read more

Been here many times when I am craving Thai food and I'm not downtown. The parking lot is usually busy so be aware - avoid peak dinner hours. They have a lot of tables in the hidden extended area of the restaurant which is nice. Fairly decent atmosphere inside. Great appetizers, soup and Pad Thai that you can't go wrong with. Large portions. Best option if you are not downtown. Top three in Toronto! read more

Jatujak - Jatujak's Delicious Pad Tha! - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Located in a sketchy plaza in North York, this restaurant is very popular with many good reviews so naturally, I had to give it a try. I don't have much experience with Thai food so I can't say much about the authenticity of the food but I enjoyed what I ordered. My friend got the Khao soi beef ($12.95). I had a bite and thought it was very tasty. I tried a little bit of all of my friends' dishes and I think mine tasted the best! I got the Gaeng masaman chicken ($12.95) - masaman with peanut, tamarind sauce, onions and deep friend onions. It came with a bowl of rice (too little rice for the amount of curry they give). The curry was delicious! I thought that there was the right amount of kick to it. There was also enough leftover for me the next day. I think there's some lunch specials on the weekday that I definitely want to try out. I don't know if I'll stray away from my curry though... read more

Usually I'm not a big fan of thai food.. but I realized it's because I've been having unauthentic thai food (referring to thai express) lol... this place definitely changed my view on thai food. It's not just pad Thai (which I don't like) Restaurant was really cute and looks smaller on the outside. There's a cute room inthe back with more tables and the walls were covered in artwork. #1 Lemongrass Chicken Wings were bomb as fck(excuse my language) but they were so tasty. Spicy, crispy and sweet. #2 Thai iced tea was the best one I've ever had. Served in a cute mason jar. Perfect amount of sweetness and tea. #3 Hot and Sour Soup with Chicken was made exactly what I expect. Sweet and spicy with lots of flavor, wish they had more toppings inside (like mushroom, tomatoes). #3 Pineapple fried rice with shrimp was also tasty and had a hint of curry powder. Dish was moist but I was hoping for it to be in a pineapple shell. Would definitely recommend. I hope they open more restaurants closer though. read more

My friend recommended this place for our group to grab dinner and it was a good choice. The food is really well and well priced. I loved their green curry! Pad Thai is sweeter than most places which I wasn't a fan of. The mango salad was interesting lol, most people loved it and it was okay for me Overall the dishes were good, we mainly choose the ones that had the thumbs up beside it. Service wise.... It was a bit slow. They kind of ignored us when we tried to wave them down and it took forever to get the cheque and take out boxes. It wasn't that busy that night either read more

After having a pleasant experience at Kub Khao and finding out that Jatujak is their parent restaurant, I just had to come here. The good news is that it is virtually the same experience which is a great thing for both places. We had a quiet and simple affair, despite it being Saturday evening. Upon a quick glance, the menu and prices are almost identical to Kub khao's which makes the sense. I ordered the Holy basil with beef (pad gra prao) which was alright. It was fragrant but I was somewhat disappointed with the dish as a whole. It was simply too salty for my liking and that kind of just overpowered my tastebuds. I found the one I had at Khao san road much, much better. It lacked the bit of sweetness which I love. I also had my favourite khao soi, which was excellent all around. Like kub khao, the restaurant was clean and simple and the service was adequate. All in all, had a pleasant experience here but I will be sticking to Kub khao as my go-to as it is closer to where I live. read more

Jatujak - Holy basil with egg (ga prao kai dow) with beef - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was seated right before a big group and the lunch rush came in. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed from the rush. I got the pad thai lunch special with salad and spring roll with the upgraded drink to thai iced tea. The apps were ok, salad with iceberg lettuce and mango with a fish sauce dressing were fine, nothing crazy. The spring roll was better I thought with the dipping sauce, good ratio to stuffing and wonton wrap. The pad thai was pretty good! Overall in the GTA, it goes in the upper tier I might have to say. Just the right amount of sauce and noodles and a fair sized portion that wasn't overkill. The thai ice tea was GREAT. A little too sweet but very close to what you get in actual Thailand. All for about $13. The service is friendly, a little slow in getting to us in the far corner. The interior is nice and clean. I would for sure come back to try something else. read more

I was quite excited to see that a Thai restaurant had recently opened near my old neighbourhood. Technically it's in North York since Victoria Park Ave is the dividing line between North York and Scarborough but nonetheless a good Thai restaurant is hard to find in this part of the city. I read that the original Kingston Rd location had garnered good reviews and I was curious if the second location would be just as good. My friend and I dropped by around 8:30 - 9 pm during a weekday for a late night dinner and the place was completely empty. We were quickly greeted and seated. We decided on the Gaeng Kiew Whan ($9.95 plus $2.00 for shrimp before tax) and the Jatujak Pad Thai ($9.95 plus $1.00 for beef before tax) and two green Nom Yen drinks ($3.50 each before tax). Both dishes came out in less than 5 minutes and this is not a good sign unless you're at McDonald's regardless if the place was empty or not. Gaeng Kiew Whan ($9.95 plus $2.00 for shrimp): This is essentially a green curry dish which was served with shrimp, you had the option of choosing chicken, beef or shrimp and a bowl of white jasmine rice. The dish was very mediocre, it was overly spicy and the broth was very watery and lacked the proper amount of coconut milk. Jatujak Pad Thai ($9.95 plus $1.00 for beef): This dish which should be probably their signature dish on the menu was really bad. Very saucy and lacked the spiciness that comes from crushed chili peppers. If you have ever been to Sukothai or Pai and tried their Pad Thai, the difference in quality, taste and authenticity is worlds apart. Nom Yen Green ($3.50 before tax): The drink which was essentially a green milk tea was fantastic, refreshing and sweet but not two sweet. Service/Decor: The service was good and the waiter was patient in explaining things and wasn't overbearing. The decor was nice, a lot of dark colours and a very relaxed atmosphere. Overall, it's difficult for me to give a new small business two stars but the food is really not that good and it's not authentic Thai food. As I mentioned before, if you have been to Pai or Sukothai you will be able to tell a big difference and I have Thai friends and have had the chance to enjoy home cooked Thai food. The food is reasonably priced but they definitely have to improve the quality of the food. I really hope this was a one off experience and a bad night for them. read more

Located in a strip mall in a questionable area, the restaurant itself is newly renovated, and inviting. Could be a place plucked straight outta downtown, but...there's a parking lot! :) Bonus points. Menu is pretty straight-forward with Apps, Salads, Stir-Fries, Noodles/Rice, & Curry dishes, all with brief descriptions. Standard dishes were all in the area of $10-12, usually $10, +$1 for chicken/beef, +$2 for shrimp. We got the Thai Green Curry (veg, ~$10) & Pad Kee Mao (medium spicy w/ beef, ~$11). The smell was incredible and so was the taste! There was such a depth in flavour with the Pad Kee Mao. Medium spicy was no joke/cannot be mistaken for mild, so keep that in mind. Green Curry was also very tasty, but I found the curry a bit too salty. Definitely needed the rice! Portions were quite generous, at least 4 servings per plate. It took a bit of time to take our order, not a rushy-rushy place, but dishes arrived quickly between 5-7mins after ordering. Really good place with authentic flavours! Would definitely stop by again if I was in the area. read more

My first time being here. Once you walk in, completely different than what you would have expected. It was nice inside. Clean, and cozy. Quite a lot of tables. They also have a seperate room at the back with more seats. The staff were all very nice and friendly! We ordered the Jatujak Pad Thai & Pad Kee Mao. The flavours of both were great. I loved how the noodles didn't just break apart when you bit into it. It was chewy, which I liked. For someone like me who can't handle spice, the Pad Kee Mao is too spicy for me. You have a choice of adding either chicken, beef or shrimp to your dish for an extra charge. For dessert we got the Mango Sticky Rice. I've never tried mango sticky rice before and really wanted to try it after reading some reviews on it on yelp. Almost all the reviews are pretty positive. It was good. But a little too sweet for my liking. It's perfect to share with others, a few bites each. Overall, it's a pretty good place for thai food. I would come back if i'm ever in the area again. read more

The restaurant itself was quite small and cozy. Looked somewhat old and rundown on the inside. Tables and chairs looked and felt kind of cheap -- seems like a place to order take out from rather than dine-in. The food was very good. I ordered the pad sew and my friend ordered the pad Thai. I didn't get a chance to try to the pad Thai however the pad sew was very good. I ordered their desserts to go -- the mango sticky rice was alright but salty which took me by surprise. The coconut tapioca wasn't a favourite of mine. I will probably come by this place again if I'm in the area and am in the mood for Thai. Probably won't order dessert here going forward. read more

I saw how good the reviews were but unfortunately the food that I ordered was not the best. I'd give it 2.5. I got the crispy mango chicken and it was so overdone, there was no tenderness at all. It was hard and there was no meat or softness at all to the chicken. I did like the way they stirfried it and the mangoes were good but the chicken left alot to be desired. $11.95 My friend got the khao soi $12.95 and enjoyed her dish so I'm glad it worked out on her end. Service was non existent after our food came. We waited half an hour to grab the attention of a server, eventually I went to the front and ordered dessert and paid the bill. We waited another 30min until out dessert came out (mango sticky rice) $6.95 which I enjoyed but man that took too long!! The Thai iced tea was good $3.95 but too sweet for my taste, my friend really enjoyed it. Overall not the best experience but at least the birthday girl enjoyed her meal! Highs and lows but what can you do. read more

Such a cute little restaurant tucked away in a plaza near Vic Park and Lawrence. I had previously gotten delivery from here but wanted to give dining in a shot. I came here on a Saturday night and was seated right away. The restaurant itself definitely added to the experience. The chalkboard walls of Thai related tidbits and the décor brought me back to my trip to Thailand. Here's what we ordered: Chicken Khao soi - was very god and comparable to Khao san road and Pai's. You get a generous portion of protein. We went with the chicken but you also have the choice of beef. Pad Thai - Typical and average pad thai, it's hard to get pad thai wrong. Definitely on the sweeter side but satisfied my cravings; Mango sticky rice - the mango was sweet and fresh. The rice was pleasantly soft, warm and sweet. Didn't dig the artificial food colouring of the rice but still recommend! Thai iced tea- very good and authentic. Enjoyed how the drinks came out in mason jars; Thai green ice tea- Do not get this. Get the original or red instead. It tasted very artificial and definitely made from a powder. Overall, the portions are all very big and well priced (mains averaged $11) so come hungry! The servers were inattentive near the end when we wanted our dessert and the bill but the food is still deserving of an overall 4 star. read more

Always looking for something great where I don't have to drive downtown and I've found it! They say they are Thai Street Food fare and I must say whatever Thai street they are on, I want to be there! It's small but nice is clean. It's in a nondescript plaza with plenty of parking in front. Service is fast and welcoming. I ordered the Thai lemon iced tea which was cool and refreshing. I also had the potato and onion curry (added chicken for $1) and it comes with jasmine rice. It was a nice blend of sweet with a hint of kick. The menu shows one hot pepper to denote spiciness but honestly I didn't think it was spicy. The only thing I didn't like was the big chunks of onions in it - wish they made the pieces smaller. I can't wait to go back and try a few other things on the menu. They have lunch specials for well under $10. Nice to know great food exists around the corner! read more

Great place for Thai street food in Scarborough! We ordered the pad kee mao and khao soi. I usually base my opinion on how good the khao soi is whenever I go to a Thai street food restaurant. It was great, good amount of spice (maybe too spicy for those who are sensitive to spice). It was also very reasonably priced. $37 total including taxes and tip for two of us! Can't get any better than that! We were full by the end of the meal as well. Great atmosphere. It looks like a small place when you first walk in, but there are actually more seats in the back. Cool mural/drawings on the wall. Casual atmosphere. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in the area! read more
