We asked for halo halo to go along with our check and were seated directly in front of the pay/front counter and it took them 30 minutes. We saw multiple servers assisting each table while other servers stood behind the counter; I don't doubt they meant well; it just seems disorganized to me. There is upstairs seating and reservations optional to make; but from what I saw it didn't seem like they're prepared so why bother making a reservation. Regardless, the portion for 2 was plenty and the unlimited garlic rice is awesome (superrrr Filipino) we didn't need more rice, but it's a nice option. I will say the halo halo was fire; I am not sorry about the long wait it was worth it.

Afternoon tea was quite empty on a Wednesday afternoon. They have daily specials which I might back…read morefor. Came with a newborn and the waitress was rather chatty, typical neighbourhood feels. Dry stirfryed beef rice noodles - Feels like afternoon tea size. Decent flavour, but still lacking the smoky taste. Hk French Toast - Extra for a layer of peanut butter in the middle. Came with condensed milk on top which is rather unique touch. The batter was rather eggy, and not very crispy, which makes for a dense toast. Chicken wings and fries - Love me some salt and pepper wings. These one were lightly battered so gave a nice bite to the wings. Wings were well seasoned. Fries were also great, would get again.

Went for their afternoon tea (230-530) and got the usual hk style toast and beef rice noodle…read more The hk style toast is only a little crispy on the edges. I paid an additional $0.50 to add peanut butter, but only a third of it had peanut butter... Otherwise it was rather tasty though, so buttery. It's drizzled with lots of condensed milk and a slab of butter on top. If I were to get it again, I wouldn't bother with the peanut butter. The hk style milk tea is okay. Just a teeny bit oversteeped, and subtle tea flavour. The beef rice noodle was not evenly coated (still some white seen from the noodle), and oily. Didn't have 'wok hey' either. Limited beef pieces. Would not get again. Very modern looking inside, I suspect this place is rather new. Service is fine, but not busy at all when we went. There are better places, but I might come back to try their daily special (hainan ch on Monday).

Such a great Thai place in Scarborough!…read more I came here for the first time in August 2025 when my friend suggested going here for dinner. I love trying new restaurants, especially Thai ones, so I was definitely excited to try their food. We got a Jasmine Tea and spring rolls to share, and thenwe each got our own Pad Thai orders. My friend is vegetarian, so she was able to get hers fully vegan with no problems. I got the Chicken Pad Thai, it was absolutely delicious! The vegetables were fresh and the sauce was so tasty! I especially loved that they had house made chilli oil which was one of the best one I've ever had! I'll definitely be back

#whenhungerstrikes17 Our journey takes us to this small Thai restaurant at Kingston Rd and Warden…read moreAve. The decor is charming and welcoming. Some pictures of menu items hanging on the wall. Some small wooden tables and chairs for dine-in guests. The restaurant was not busy when we visited around 1:30 pm on a Sunday. Parking is only paid street parking, which is $2.75 per hour via Green P. We ordered a bunch of lunch specials at $12.99. It comes with choice of pop or you can upgrade to premium drink for $3.50 like Thai Ice tea, Thai lemon tea, Thai matcha green tea, Thai ice coffee (O-Liang), Mango/guava/pineapple juice, Thai coco water. The Thai ice tea was served in a mason jar mug. Very refreshing drink. The appetizers were good. We got the deep-fried coco shrimps (6) $13.25. The shrimps were served with a coleslaw salad and a tamarind dipping sauce. We tried the pork satay skewers (3) $10.95. The skewers were served with peanut dipping sauce and pickled daikon and carrots. The skewers were a bit on the small side. The green curry chicken lunch special was a standout. The broth was aromatic and spicy. The curry was served in a small bowl with chicken breast, bamboo shoots, green peppers, and broccoli. My wife enjoyed her curry. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao - Drunken noodles, which is a stir fried thick rice noodle with scrambled egg, bell peppers, fresh chilies, bamboo, young green peppercorn in Thai basil sauce. The noodles were not too spicy and just the right depth of flavors. The A9 papaya salad appetizer platter (4 person) $45.99 was kind of pricey but offerred a variety of appetizers like spring rolls, coco shrimp, tofu wedges, salted egg, shrimp chips and choice of green mango or papaya salad. The platter is nicely presented, but it's hard to justify the price point. Overall, it was a great experience. They server was very kind and courteous. They also sell some Thai local products on a shelf. We wanted to order the mango sticky rice dessert, but unfortunately, mangoes were not in season, so the dessert was not available. I would definitely come back. I just wish they were closer to home. #whenhungerstrikes definitely mark this one on your bucket list. I will try their Khao Soi noodles next time.

It is definitely a take out/quick eat spot as it's not supposed to cater for ambiance upstairs. The homey feel of their service and hospitality is something that makes this place feel like a community/home. My parents come regularly in the mornings before work and it really does feel like you're just going to your Tita's (Filipino aunt) house for lunch! Some of their dishes are average but the hospitality and for the price is really worth it! Side note: they also offer Boodle Fight reservations in their basement - can also host/hold parties there!

Went here after lunch next door (kapampangan?) for our take out food pilgrimage. My own take of…read morefilipino diners and take outs is that nobody really edge out over the others on taste and service. Everybody wins. Therefore, lets cut to the chase. Its about portions and prices. But because one has to do with the other and cannot be taken in isolation, you can wrap them under the fairness factor. Based on peer and prevailing prices in the GTA for similar fare, the justification for their way over the top prices is lacking, hence unfair. A basic example is their simpke pansit bihon. The portion hardly fits for a regular male snack let alone lunch or dinner and is priced at $15. A box of this pancit which is about 3 to 4 times the size cost around $10. Kabalen's kutsinta works out at $1.50 a piece. I could go on and on and the conclusion is the same.

Everyone always enjoy the food. And this place is busy! we ordered lomi, krispy pata, and garlic fried rice. Krispy pata could be crunchier and juicier. Lomi is too runny (my filipino eating buddy dont quite like it). Garlic fried rice is simply a safe dish (nth can go wrong with it). Overall isnt as good as how we remember and not a quite satisfying experience (i.e. flavor-wise didnt 'hit the spot').

The restaurant is quite spacious, a lot more than its facade suggests. There are very large plants and neon signage incorporated into their tasteful decor. There's even a scooter with a teddy bear, and a large "chef" welcoming you. Nice. My friend had their Chicken Pho and I had their Vermicelli with BBQ Pork. The service was quick and both dishes had generous portions. The pho was served steaming hot, loaded with ingredients, and accompanied by the usual bean sprouts, basil, and lime. My friend, however, was a little disappointed that they didn't have fresh chillies. She likes it spicy! My vermicelli dish was good - portion size, flavour, and presentation. My only (very minor) critique is a wee bit too much peanuts for my preference. Overall, it was a decent meal, although not 100% perfect. BTW, they serve Halal food. Check them out. 3.5/5.0
