What a wonderful little place! I'm glad we finally tried this place for takeout. Very flavourful food and so happy it's authentic Thai .Loved the Tamarind Curry. We'll be back to try the Tom Yum and green curry after reading all the reviews here! read more

I REALLY hate it when the menu says one thing but the restaurant serves another. So my boyfriend and I ordered "Thai Spring Rolls" and the menu said it has a chicken mixture in it. When it arrived...me being really hungry just started eating it.. but my boyfriend (and I can't believe he did this) tore the whole spring roll apart cause he wasn't able to taste the chicken in the first bite. And well...there was no chicken. It was more like a vegetable mixture instead of a chicken mixture. He also compared it to the $2 for 10 spring rolls at Foody Mart and said there wasn't a difference. hahaha. Well the waitress came and we told her..and she said...yea we don't use the chicken mixture anymore but we keep our menus like that. ..Woah wait.. what? WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A BLACK SHARPIE AND CROSS IT OUT THEN like how they crossed out the cheaper prices on the menu and changed it to something more expensive!!??! Oh well... they took it off our bill and quickly cleared our plates cause we said we didn't want it anymore. We also ordered the "Dried Red Curry with Shrimp"..and some other kind of Red Curry with chicken and peanuts. Okay I'll admit...their curry is AMAZING :D!! The portion was smallish...you also have to pay an extra $2.50 for rice..which is necessary. If I ever go back....which I don't think I will, I would just get an order of their curry :) read more

These days with all the fusion cooking out there, it's hard to find good quality authentic international cuisine, and thai food is one of hardest in Toronto. Little Bangkok is a little gem in the heart of downtown Markham. It's quite small and hidden, blink and you may drive pass it. Upon entering the restaurant, you feel like you're in some fancy restaurant. Nicely lined tables, cloth napkins and wine glasses as water cups, it's beautifully decorated on the inside. I have come here for both lunch and dinner, though I've always ordered on the dinner menu (the food is to good to get half the portions). Standard fare: Pad thai, amazing. Not too dry, but not too saucy, it's perfectly cooked and with the right amount of flavour. The pineapple fried rice is also something to be admired. Fresh chunks of pineapple with cashews in a rice blend.. mmmmmmm.. They have many different types of curry, and to be honest, I don't really know the difference. I think the color indicates level of spiciness, but I could be wrong. If you're going to order the curry, you must get the coconut rice! By far the best coconut rice I have ever tasted! I could eat the rice plain on its own if I wanted! The Tom Yum soup is also a must order, the sweet and sour combination is delightful. If you are interested in trying real authentic thai food, go to Little Bangkok, you won't be disappointed! read more

*3.5 stars* I never noticed this place before since it's tucked away in a plaza on Markham Main Street. Thanks to Yelp, I found it when I was craving Thai and didn't want to go far from my home. My friend and I started off with the shrimp chips that came with peanut dipping sauce. When it arrived it was a mix of Chinese shrimp chips that I'm familiar with and another type that I can only assume are "Thai" shrimp chips (since I've only had these types of chips at Khao San Road). The Chinese shrimp chips are more airy than the Thai ones and didn't taste too fresh. Overall it was okay but wouldn't order this again. My friend chose the squid salad. It was a mound of squid salad on a few leaves of lettuce - so yes, it was pretty much all squid. The steamed squid was very tender and not at all chewy while the fish sauce based dressing was just spicy enough to give a good kick. It was good but for me it's a dish to share because whole plate of squid is a bit too much for me. I had the roasted duck red curry that came with pineapples, grapes (yes, grapes!), cherry tomatoes, basil and sweet peppers. I had my reservations about the dish because I've never had grapes in a curry before but I love duck and thought I'd give it a try. The grapes were peeled and added a very slight sweetness to it. The duck was good though tasted and looked like the Chinese roasted duck you see hanging in the window at Chinese restaurants. The curry wasn't' overly sweet despite the pineapple & grapes. Everything worked - the curry was delicious. Rice needs to be ordered separately, which I find odd since curry and rice go together. We also had the Thai iced tea that was refreshing. This is a good place to go to get a Thai food fix. read more

OH-MY-GOD The worst Thai food I have had in long long time and I thought Arizona's Thai food was bad. If you want Thai food, Little Bangkok is not the place to go. However, Thai students from University of Toronto has recommended Thai Noodle [http://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-noodle-toronto] but I didn't get a chance to try. 1-star: not at all authentic, surprisingly pricey, and the food was straight out not edible. read more

Been here twice, but both times the restaurant was dead empty. This made be a little nervous, but thankfully it seemed like they were doing okay in the delivery department. To make the empty atmosphere worse, the decor tries too hard for the class of restaurant that it is, but in a horrible 80's style. They definitely need a huge makeover. Food wise, the flavours are very strong. I love and crave spicy food, but this was really killing it. They use ginger in a very liberal way, and overpowers everything. It is actually burn-your-mouth hot, followed by stinging sensation in your nose after you chewed about 3 strips of barely cooked ginger. As for the curries, they were pretty good but I have had much better at places downtown. I think I will save this place for only times when I don't feel like driving. read more

This is the type of food I expect when I think of thai .We had a party of four and we ordered mango salad , pad Thai , squid salad, green curry and duck red curry . The food was authentic though the portions were small ( more Like a tapas portion ). I'm not a big eater but the portions were Relatively smaller than other Thai restaurants . I enjoyed every thing that we've ordered , especially the mango sticky rice dessert and the squid salad . This place is def a hidden gem read more

This review is based on a lunch experience. I came for lunch specials ($8) with coworkers. The food was authentic Thai. The lemon chicken soup and the pad see ew were delicious with intensed flavours. The spring roll and the pad thai tasted average. What was disappointing was the portion. It was so small that we, three Chinese girls, devoured the food on plate and still needed a cookie or energy bar afterwards to feel full. A Canadian male coworker went to Subway to get a 12-inch sub sandwich right after. It is one thing for the portion to be small, but it is another when none of us is full. The value of the meal was below disappointing. I conclude that this lunch experience is delicious but unfulfilling. I will not return for lunch. I hope the dinner portion is better, or I will not have an authentic Thai restaurant to dine at in Markham. Overall, 1.5 star. (Nope, I can't up that to 2 stars. Just can't) read more

This is probably the best Thai place in Markham. Don't let its location in the least Asian part of Markham fool you -- this is a true Mom and Pop restaurant. This is also arguably the best restaurant on Main Street Markham --- people always complain that there aren't enough good restaurants but forget about this place as it's at the far north end of the commercial part of Main Street. Their fried rice is amazing and all of the dishes we've ordered over the years have been good. read more

Wow, I was reading other yelp reviews and thought this place would be decent. I was surprised to say that this place was not to my taste. We ordered the following: Tom Yum Goon soup - very salty and bland Coconut Chicken soup - chicken was tasteless and the soup base was too sweet Chicken skewers - tasted fake Pad Thai noodles - very saucy and tasteless Lemon salmon - sour sour sour Probably won't recommend this place to my friends. The highlight of the meal was probably the Singha Beer (Thai) Service was friendly (that's where the 1 star came from) read more

omg the quietest restaurant in the whole wide world. Of my two visits, me and company have been their only customer. I have always had Pad Thai at fast food Thai restaurants, soooo this one I ate here was REALLY good. Not spicy! I also had Siamese Beef and Grilled Chicken, both were yummy too, and ordinary. I remember having shrimps here, but I forgot which dish... that was pretty okay, also ordinary. I like the Thai iced tea, it was goood :) The place was decorated so adorably, with long white table clothes and a candle/flower centre piece. So romantic, awwww. Service was great! Because it was so quiet, they only did an occasional check up (which I'm so tremendously glad). They didn't stand behind the counter and stared at us, yay yay yay yay. Both lunch went well. read more

Admittedly, my only experience with Thai food is from a few take-out places, but this is easily one of my favourite restaurants in Markham. My usual is the Thai-style spicy chicken or beef/fish curries with jasmine rice and mixed veg, but of the dishes I've tried all have been cooked perfectly, are nicely presented and the curries are full of all the necessary flavours. Consistency is key and that's what you'll find on repeat visits. It's more popular as a take-out restaurant I'd say, although Fridays and Saturdays can be busy. Service is friendly and non-intrusive, and the ambiance is very relaxed (cue the hammered dulcimer); decor-wise there are some cool carved wooden panels, a couple nice triptychs and other stuff to tie it together. The one downside is that it's a bit pricier than the norm, but it's well worth it. YUM. Try: Pad Thai, Thai-style Spicy Chicken, Spicy Coconut Soup, Garlic Shrimp, any curry Avoid: Grilled Chicken - comes out a bit dry and tasteless read more

Good service for a small restaurant, tuck in a small complex. for starter, I was leery going in, because there were no one inside. but why not, give it a try. Som Tum (papaya salad) not bad. it need more vinegar & splash of fish sauce + dry shrimp and then make it spicy. its not bad, but need more spice. then I order the Panang Nuer (Beef Curry), I asked them to make it spicy, but apparently that failed. the curry was nice, but I like it spicy. almost as good as you can get for the panang nuer. my friend ordered Tom Yum (skip it, don't look like tom yum to me) I don't know how it taste but don't look like one. then he ordered green curry and Vegetarian fried rice (that the first mistake, vegy for thai.. ) I tried the curry, hm.. you can skip that too. and I didn't try the fried rice. so, why I'm giving 4 stars, because the food I ordered hit the spot, they are not bad. but the problem is, if you go there, just have the two items that I had, then you should be good. read more

Conveniently located directly across Markham Go Station, I used to come here with my family sometimes for Thai dinners. My go-to was the red curry roast duck. Came here a few weeks ago after a hiatus for a few years, and it seems things have gone a little downhill. A friend of mine arrived to our reservation before me, and said that the front of house gentleman (I suspect he is at least part owner if not full) was curt at best. However, our server (a young lady) was sweet and friendly. The duck curry seems to lack the coconut cream it used to hold, and the hubs suspected that the roast duck is purchased from a random Chinese BBQ'd meats place (you know, the kind with crispy roast ducks or char-siu/reddish BBQ pork hanging by hooks in the windows?). The curries don't taste like they've been simmered with all the ingredients, and taste rather like separate components that have just been thrown into a pre-made curry at the last minute. Rice is sold separately from the entrées. If you order two orders of rice, they will come served in the same bowl. The location is truly convenient, but it's not a place that comes to mind for me when in search of a satisfying Thai meal. read more

I've been here several times and I ordered pad thai twice and fried rice with crab once. Both times when I ordered the pad thai, I didn't feel the best afterwards. I think part of the reason was because it was very creamy. The flavour was delicious and the portion was quite generous. The most recent time I came here, I got the fried rice with crab and it was about $11. I should've known better and expected imitation crab. The dish itself was good but it definitely was not worth the price. The portion was large enough to be filling. Overall, I find this restaurant to be a bit on the pricey side for okay food. read more

#1 menu item is the coconut soup! You don't typically see this on the menu of many Thai restaurants so it was a real surprise in my mouth. I could taste lemongrass, ginger, lime, coconut and so many more I can't point out. Flavor combinations were on point!! For your main, curries are the next best thing but they don't come with rice so you need to order on the side. read more

Little Bangkok - Coconut soup - Thai Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Little Bangkok was something I just had to try because I had to see whether if this would be my new main Thai restaurant. It was tucked into a plaza across from the Main St. Go Station and easily missed. I went in as a group of 4 and there was nobody else in the restaurant at 1PM on a Friday. The lunch menu had all the popular dishes for a discounted price as a smaller version and came with soup and a spring roll. (including the curries and pad thai) The lemon chicken soup that came as an appetizer was very condensed and overpowering. The spring rolls were crunchy and each came with their little own dipping sauce. I ordered a chicken noodle soup that came out somewhat disappointing as it was bland but did have many pieces of chicken. My boyfriend ordered the chicken fried rice and it was amazing. They had large pieces of chicken in there and was very tasty. My sister's boyfriend loved his pineapple curry but had to pay for rice on the side (as it wasn't part of the lunch menu). He said it was sweet from the curry & went really well with the rice. My sister got a curry from the lunch menu (no idea what she ordered) but it was spicy and creamy at the same time. I'm definitely getting the fried rice or her curry. The 2 issues I had with the restaurant was 1. Even though it was a lunch menu set - the portions of the main dishes were really, extremely small. 2. The server was always missing and he had a really bad attitude. It was like: Okay, what do you want? & when you were trying to tell him the number of the dish he would look at you like "wtf?" and would not acknowledge that you said anything. No smiles. No greeting. Or as my friend put it "I'm trying to figure out why the server's so pissed off at us." I will return to try their mango sticky rice and dinner menu! read more

It's tough to find an real Thai restaurant in Markham/Richmond Hill/ Scarborough area that's not also a Vietnamese restaurant that offers Thai food. Little Bangkok is a hidden gem tucked away in touristy Main Street Markham that will pleasantly surprise you. Their menu is quite extensive considering majority of (authentic) Thai places (like Khao San Road and Sokhu Thai) only have a one-pager while Little Bangkok offers you a whole book to look at. Thai Iced-Tea is a definite must try for those who has never had one before. $5 for a starter sized tom yum soup is a rip off but it's big enough to share between 2 people. Shrimp crackers w/peanut sauce is a great appetizer to share if you still want room in your stomach for a full meal. Pineapple red shrimp curry only comes with pineapple and shrimp. If you want some vegetables like mushroom, baby corn, and peppers in your curry, don't make the same mistake as me and get a regular curry. ps. they offer coconut rice :D read more

The bearded guy is really rude on more than one occasion, its too bad their food wasn't bad. Never going back again.

Ordered green curry on ubereats and when it arrived, there was no rice. I called the restaurant and the man said that this dish does not come with rice.

It doesn't say on ubereats. He kept repeating "but it doesn't come woth rice" over and over. Please don't eat here. Rude man not worth it. Now i have green curry with no rice read more

Little Bangkok - This is a dinner size thai basil spicy noodle.. - Thai Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Service is pretty bad during the weekdays. The waiter seems to be very inpatient. Don't ask for spicy because they would make it insanely spicy. Portion is tiny. A bowl of rice will cost you $2. Not recommended. Too bad there isn't any other Thai place around this area. Maybe that's why they can still survive. read more

The ambience is great ! Service was tentative, we ordered the red curry chicken - very good / Thai style Pad Thai - noodles are chewy / dessert - mango salad was okay - I think the sticky rice was under cook. read more

Little bangkok was not as not as good as I expected them to be. After reading some good reviews here on Yelp - I had a ton of expectations. However, i was a bit disappointed. On the plus side, we were went in for Saturday night dinner without reservations and got seated right away. However, food was not up to the mark. I was there with couple of friends and below is what we had - Curry puffs (Vegetarian puffs with potatoes, tasted slightly sweet than spicy/hot) - Green curry with vegetables - Green curry with fish - Green curry with chicken We all ordered green curry as our waitor told us that was spicier. However, upon tasting it - it did not really live up. We had order rice separately as it did not come with the curries. I found this to be a bit strange as almost all Thai restaurants offer this as a part of their entree. Portions were right size and price was fine. Overall, it was okay for a meal but I will probably not return. read more

Little Bangkok was a pleasant find as I found Thai resturants hard to come by in Markham. We ordered take-out so can't comment on the wait staff but when we picked up our food, the restaurant seemed quite nice and busy - which is a good sign on a Friday. On to the food, we ordered: Assorted appetizer platter - This was a great sampler of the various snacks they had on the menu. For 2 people, this was a large sized appetizer - everything was crispy and tasty. Highly recommend! Green chicken curry (with coconut milk) - I found the flavour to be amazing. It was very rich and flavourful. My wife found the curry a bit too creamy (maybe from the coconut milk) but I thought this was an ideal green curry. Not too spicy and full of flavour. Highly recommend as well! Pad Thai - Great taste in the noodles with right balance of heat and sweetness. I would also order again. I was a bit wary as some previous Yelpers mentioned that the portions were small. But for a couple, 2 mains + app platter was alot of food. We had leftovers for lunch next day! So, for me, if I was looking for Thai food in Markham, Little Bangkok is a great place. We'll probably be a bit more adventuresome and order the non-standard stuff so I will certainly return. read more

Been going to this restaurant for years with family and friends. The food and service is always enjoyable. Prices are reasonable. This past Saturday evening was no exception. Their mango salad is superb. Don't think we have ever had a dish that wasn't tasty. Bill came to around $50 for two people with tax and tip included. Only one glass of wine and no dessert. Best Thai restaurant we know of in the Markham Unionville area. read more

OMG! Horrible tasting, probably stale food that you can't digest! They definitely don't know how to make Thai food! read more

Located across from Markham Go Station! It is definitely a hidden gem for Thai food on this end of Markham. The decoration is beautiful and feel the Thai vibe once you entered. The workers are nice and friendly and most importantly efficient in their routine. We had the appetizer platter which was very delicious and the price was fair, could be high for some if they do not the selection preset. The pad thai with chicken was flavourful. However, the experience was rather bland for me as the mood was very dry and quiet. It may be a place for those who enjoy a quiet causal, rather for a friend get together for a meal before weekend. Overall, it is definitely a great experience and that's about it, but the nearby had since open new and modern restaurants at more competitive price. I enjoy their Thai ice tea which is very delicious but the take out cup have no lid which is difficult to handle while driving. read more

It is hidden in a plaza, opposite to Main St GO Station, where you would not expect a restaurant such as this. It is not a 5-star of course, probably a family managed restaurant but I like those family managed ones. I feel there is more passion. Food: Great. Not the best Thai I had but better than most. Quantity is a little low but love the quality of food. All the flavors are very good. Feels real Thai for sure. It can be a little pricey so keep a tab on what you are ordering. Last time I was there, I ended up spending $60 on an appetizer, one main course and one desert with Coca-Cola. I loved their salads!!! Most def give it a try. Service: OK. Nothing extraordinary. read more

I have been to this place quite a few times and it's been pretty consistent. Be aware that the portions are smaller compared to other thai restaurants but I think the quality is there. Last time we ordered: -Pineapple curry with chicken ($11.99): Above average curry. Chicken was moist. Rating: 3.5/5 -Pad see ew with beef ($12.99): Very chewy noodles. I like the texture. Rating: 3.5/5 -Lemon soup (tom-yum) with shrimp ($6.99): Good balance of hot and sour. Rating: 4/5 -Coconut Rice ($2.75): If you like sweet rice I think you will love this. This is the best coconut rice I have had. This could actually be a dessert. Rating: 5/5 read more

Little Bangkok was referred to me by a friend, and I drove by it many times but decided to take my girlfriends there for dinner. I had seen it before when it was packed and was glad to see that when we arrived we could be seated right away. It is a fairly small restaurant and the atmosphere is nice. The service is really good, we had two servers coming by to ask us there was anything that we wanted and through our dinner checked in on us. The food is absolutely delicious, we had a mango salad, cashew chicken, a red curry, pad thai and the coconut rice, it came out steaming hot and the flavours were just right. The menu had quite a nice selection of different dishes so we had a hard time coming down to the choices we made. There were a few dishes that we did not get that we swear we'll order the next time we go back. The prices are very reasonable and they also do take-out (which I will do one day) as well as can cater. This is a great restaurant in Markham that you shouldn't miss! read more

Overall amazing food and service! The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was also served quickly. I had the Mango salad, chicken satay, Thai egg rolls, red curry, coconut rice, and the mango sticky rice. All of it was DELICIOUS!!would recommend this to anyone read more

I ended up at Little Bangkok based on review posted here and the need to find a Thai place that could satisfy a group of 8, without being too expensive. Upon entering the decor at the restaurant was inviting, with art and vintage photos from Thailand. Friendly, not rushed and consistently good service was a prelude to the real reason everyone should go here: delicious and non pretentious Thai food. Our group had : satay chicken, mango salad, spring rolls for starters. Pad Thai, sticky rice, mixed vegetables, garlic shrimp, tamarind chicken and yellow curry for mains. All the dishes were delicious and tasted just right, not too spicy or sweet. I specially want to mention the mixed vegetables, as i usually end up not touching the vegetables in most thai places, but the dish was cleaned out at our table almost immediately. I will definitely be going back here. read more

This is a wonderful gem in my neighbourhood. The food is very good, the takeout is fast and the service is friendly. I don't ever dine in the restaurant because I live nearby, so it's not so much a destination place for me, but a good takeout option. Any time I go in to pick up my food, I always take notice of how nicely the dishes are plated for diners. My favourite is the dry red curry. I also really like the cashew chicken and the Thai spring rolls. My husband and son always order the shrimp pad thai. My one complaint is that it closes at 9 on weekdays. If it were open later, I would probably order more often (I'm a late dinner eater). read more
