A chance to dine with the oldies but goldies Elites brought me up to the Yonge/Eg area to Sorn Thai. It's not a huge place so our UYE group of 20 took up about half the space. We started out with a few appetizer platters that included spring rolls, crab cakes and satay sticks. Denise, Johnson and I decided to go family styles and order a few dishes to share. We got the classic pad thai ($10.45), crab fried rice ($11.95) and mixed vegetable curry with rice ($9.75). Portions were a bit smaller than my usual neighbourhood Thai place but the quality of the food made up for that. There was REAL crab in the fried rice, generously large plump shrimp in the pad thai and crispy fresh veggies in the curry. I'm not in this area very often but I'd gladly recommend it to those who live close by. read more

Really good lunch specials, and they are such big portions that you can eat it at least 2 times. Around $12 with tax and comes with a delicious/ greasy spring roll. I suggest the Red Thai Curry or the Pad Thai, both very delicious. Staff is nice as well!! Will return for sure. read more

Not a go to place unless you are sweeeeeeeeet lover. Sweet and greasy pad Thai, one of the worst Thai restaurant I have had in Toronto. Not recommended. read more

The food was pretty good. I ordered takeout. The spring rolls and curry chicken skewers were very good. I was disappoied in the Pad Thai because it did not coe with bean sprouts and peanuts read more

The best Thai restaurant in Toronto. Spicy beef was super delish. Coconut ice cream was the best Ice Cream that ever had. There was shaved coconut in it. Yummm. Above all, super nice and attentive waitress. read more

Sorn Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food was great. Small portion but blast of flavour in everything we ordered. The pad Thai was yummy, the curry was great. The mango salad was even better. Very good quality! read more

I to this place for lunch every weekend. The service is always great, food is amazing, good prices and fast service. Cant ever complain. Plus you get a card that on your 9th dish its free! Wish there were more locations! read more

We've ordered from here at least 15 times since 2005. It's consistently good. Whenever we're in the mood for good Thai, we drive from Etobicoke for this stuff. It's delicious. In fact, we like what we order so much that we've never ordered anything else! So this review is based on: - Pad Thai (#21), - Chicken Fried Rice (#25), and - Spicy Chicken (#37A) ... which totals a bit over $30 so we get free spring rolls with the order. Great meal for two and you'll have leftovers which re-heat well. read more

This is my favourite thai restaurant in Toronto. I'm not pretending to be a connoisseur of thai cuisine, but out of all the restaurants that I've eaten at, this one is the best. The food is great, the service is great, and the restaurant is clean. read more

We found this quaint seemingly authentic thai restaurant through yelp and decided to give it a try. First impressions: the restaurant is cozy, a bit out dated, not somewhere that would impress your date. Food: friend ordered the green curry chicken ($13) and I had the pad thai ($12). The pad thai was good, not sweet and saucy like other main chain restaurants. The amount of chicken,tofu, and shrimp were good enough to satisfy any appetite. The green curry chicken was very very salty, my friend usually likes to add soy sauce on everything and even he said it was unbearably salty, even with rice. We didn't tell the wait staff about the salty dish so I won't consider it too much in the overall rating as we didn't give them the chance to rectify the dish. The flavor was food and the amount of chicken added was quite generous. Overall it was an okay experience I don't think we would go again unless we were in the area prices are very reasonable and staff is friendly. read more

I found the vegetarian options limited and bland. I definitely prefer other Thai Places in the neighbourhood. It's not great but it not terrible either. With Thai veg options, you know what you're getting (vegetables, tofu and rice - ta da!) If you are vegetarian definitely go for dinner over lunch as the lunch specials are particularly limited if you are vegetarian. read more

1. Coconut chicken soup ($9.95): coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, chicken, mushroom - Strong lemongrass flavour, very thin and watery consistency 2. Pad Thai ($10.45) - Saucy and sweet read more

Sorn Thai is another great Thai restaurant located at Yonge and Eglinton. It wins in terms of the food, service, and atmosphere. When we arrived there was a line up but there is a nice patio outside that is fenced where you can wait comfortably until the tables are ready. The wait was not long as well, and only about 5-10 minutes. The interior of the restaurant has some older decor but at the same time it is very nice and comfortable as well. The walls are lined with dark coloured vertically striped wallpaper and decorated with Thai paintings. The tables are lined with burgundy tablecloths and napkins; and decorated with real flowers as a side center piece as well. Compared to other Thai restaurants I would say that Sorn Thai has a wider selection of dishes. We decided to try the curry salad for starters, Pad Thai, red curry beef, as well as the pineapple fried rice. The curry salad was actually very good and not what I expected. It sounds stuffing but it was surprisingly fresh, light, tasty, and refreshing. It comes with some fried tofu, lettuce, fresh crunchy shrimp chips, tomatoes, sliced egg, and a very tasty peanut sauce where you can even taste the fresh peanuts. It tastes similar to a Malaysian dish called gado gado (5/5) The pad thai was very good as well as I found that it had a nice home made taste to it but at the same time still very good. Just like the salad it came with crunchy grounded peanuts (not too finely grinded), big shrimps, as well as chicken. I liked that it was not too sour as well. The texture of the noodles was also cooked nicely, somewhat chewy, and not overly soft (4/5) As for the red curry chicken I would say that the sauce does not have as much coconut flavour. The dish does not come with jasmine rice so you have to order that separately as well. They give generous amounts of beef and bamboo shoots, but I would say that the beef was a bit overcooked. But all in all the dish and portions were still good. (3/5) Pineapple fried rice was made very nicely as well. It comes with big chunks of fresh pineapple, generous amounts of chicken compared to many thai places, as well as big shrimps.(4/5) All in all I loved this place. Service was quick and friendly, and food was great. Will definitley be back again! read more

Was not horrible, was not great. Came here at lunch with two coworkers today and it wasn't incredibly busy, I'd say 60%. Service was friendly with a smile but getting our waters topped up was an effort. Two of us ordered pad thai and one ordered spicy noodle. The pad thai lunch special is chicken only (no shrimps) which is understandable since it's cheaper than their regular menu by a buck and you get a choice of soup or spring roll with any special. The spring roll was good and I like the sweet sauce that comes along with it. The pad thai was a generous heaping of noodles. If you're into authentic, this is not as it's clearly the ketchup-style pad thai with no hint of tamarind I could detect. No limes were harmed in making this dish (they used a lemon x_x ) and not much in the way of veggies (a bit of bean sprouts). I'd most likely check out one of the other restaurants dotting the Yonge-Eglinton area. read more

This is the goto spot for dinner with the parents. I've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Relatively busy everytime I go but always able to get a seat when we walk in. Tasty food. We always get about 4 dishes to split between us including the always fresh tasty mango salad with chicken and cashews. My choice is always an egg plant dish. Service is always excellent. read more

Came here with a friend on a rainy night looking for a warm, flavourful, and decently priced dinner - Sorn Thai did not disappoint on any fronts. Decor: Nothing spectacular, nothing offensive - your average Thai restaurant with knick knacks and paintings. It was clean and pleasant. Ambience: Laid back. Good for families, friends, or couples. Price: So reasonable. Before gratuity, we paid close to $35 I believe? Meal: We ordered spring rolls, green curry, and spicy vegetables with rice. Portion size wasn't massive per se, but definitely sizeable when sharing or even if just for yourself. I thought everything was quite tasty and not too spicy. My only complaint was that the curry had quite a bit of fennel flavour, which I'm just personally not a fan of. Service: It was fine and not overbearing. We were quickly attended to and our glasses were filled often. I was also impressed with how fast the food came, despite the place being half full. Pros: Cheerful, cheap, delicious, good portion size. Cons: Fennel. I'm sure I'll be back to try some of the other dishes. Overall, a cozy dining experience. read more

This was pretty disappointing considering the decent overall rating on here. Plus it's the closest Thai place to me so the let-down hit a bit harder. It's not that the food is BAD but it is incredibly bland. Nothing memorable or special about it. Nothing flavourful that will have you eagerly anticipating the next bite and leave you wanting more. Too bad, I was really hoping for some good and easily accessible Thai food. read more

Love the spicy mixed seafood!!! So fucking good! But the plain rice cost 2 dollars is a bit ..... Nice environment, if love to stay longer if the guy sit on beside table did not talk that much and loud~ lol read more

Spring 2015 update: long wait, overcooked chicken, undercooked vegetables in our green and red curry. Was Victoria day Monday, not sure if staff was just inexperienced. Was a little boring. Just a fantastic experience from the tasty food to the friendly service. The spring roll is one of the best I have ever had and definitely worth a try to start your meal. Both the pad Thai and cashew nut chicken did not disappoint. Especially with some added hot sauce. We will be returning! read more

Best Thai food North of Bloor. Always friendly, and efficient service. I usually get take-out, but on the rare occasion I dine in, the ambience is quite relaxing. A great food experience every time. read more

I got their green curry, and my boyfriend the pad thai. Both were very tasty, and reasonably priced. Service was acceptable, but I don't demand special amazing service. Didn't have to wait for a bill or chase anyone down. So, good food, good prices. Can't complain. read more

I believe the quality has improved, generous portions and reasonable prices. Our go to for a quick take out.

Lovely restaurant, nice, clean and pleasent and the food is AMAZING!!! Will definitely go back again! Kids friendly too

Wonderful food and experience.... I enjoyed my visit to this wonderfully hip restaurant in my hometown of Toronto. The decore is exquisite and the food is delicious. The lighting and music is suductive and draws you in almost immediately. While I was there I ordered a Coconut Chicken that was absolutely marvelous. I recommend you visit during the earlier days of the week, as it gets incredibly crowded very quickly on the weekends. Enjoy! The read more

Favourite thai restaurant in Toronto. Staff are always very friendly. Food is excellent. Don't expect huge portions. However, lunch specials are a great value since you get soup or spring roll and some dishes also come w side salad. Dinner is pricey, but the food and service are always excellent. read more

Time for an update: I returned here for an elite event and found the food was better than it was last time I visited. I was happy to see they offered some healthier options - the mango salad and sampler platter were good, and I'd recommend this place for anyone craving Thai food North of Eg - you don't need to resort to Spring Rolls. read more

Not as amazing as everyone made it out to be. Ordered the appetizer platter, pad thai, and green curry. Appetizers were good. My bf didn't like his pad thai but I liked it because of the sourness of the tamarind in the sauce. My green curry was NOT good. Chicken was overcooked and very dry. The curry was too watery, not thick. It wasn't fragrant. I was looking for a balance of spices and coconut - none was found. Also, no larb or spicy papaya salad on the menu? I must add, the staff was nice and attentive throughout the night though. Overall a three star rating means okay food but I will not return nor recommend it. read more

I have to add a little bit about the service. The server now always recognizes us, smiles a lot and remembers our order. Definitely worth the trek when we feel like cozy delicious Thai food. read more

very cozy thai place. things to highlight: service is superb! music on the background is very appropriate to the place good selection of veg dishes we decided to order a glass of wine each for our dinner and since we never tried thai wine that was on the list we were hesitating if we should go for it. the server offered to give us a sample of the wine so we can taste and decide if we actually want to order it. it never happened to me before! tasting wine in a restaurant where average price per dinner dish ranges in about $12. we ended up nor ordering that wine though. the selection of veg dishes is very good and the food was yummy. the veg/tofu curry! yum! the location is a bit off and the decorations are just ok but worth checking it out. read more

I've walked by this place many evenings at dinner time and it's always been busy. This is a good sign for a neighbourhood thai place. The food is great and the price is right. We had a lovely Lemon chicken soup and they spiked it with extra chilies for us. It was an excellent warm up on a cold winter evening. The Pad Thai was very good and nicely flavoured with tamarind and lemon. I'm used to seeing lime used, but I didn't really mind as there were plenty of peanuts (a pad thai must for texture). The spicy noodles that my friend had were made with a deliciously different sauce than the pad thai. Spring rolls were crunchy, hot and delicious. We would have liked to try some of the curries, but what we ordered was more than enough for us. The food going by to other tables looked well presented and smelled wonderful. The service was outstanding and there was never a point at which our water glasses were empty or we didn't have something we needed. When we complimented them on the food they mentioned that they had been in business for over 15 years and their staff are all from Thailand. The price was right at $35 for the two of us. We didn't have anything besides water to drink, but still reasonable for all the food. I would definitely go back. It would be a great place for a family meal or even a quiet couples dinner. I took off one star because the decor is a little underwhelming and it wasn't the best Thai I've had anywhere, but definitely a good value and really delish. read more

This place is good. Best Thai in the area for sure. The workers and owners are all super friendly and the food is old classic recipes and all tastes great. I think they could do a little remodelling to make it a little nicer looking though, but it's definitely not dirty. I love the cashew nut chicken and the spring rolls and shrimp chips with peanut sauce. Go for lunch and they have specials. read more

If you are looking for a little Thai on Yonge, steer clear of Sorn Thia Restaurant. The service is good but the food just mediocre at best. I ordered the Hot and Sour soup, it was temperature hot, but it wasn't spicy or sour and a bit sweet, disappointing on a cold night. The green curry chicken and marinaded beef dishes were bland. Both dishes were served with meat that was shaved so thinly and in perfect rectangular pieces that I questioned how it was done, and if it was meat at all. Save your money. read more

The best Thai I've had. And I've been to Thailand! Service is fantastic. Staff are wonderful. Excellent location in the heart of Yonge and Eg. read more

Like many Thai restaurants, this one offers reasonable lunch combos. I tried the Thai basil chicken. It was better than most other Thai places because it included a mix of lightly sautéed veggies and fresh greens, making the whole thing a much more balanced meal that I usually get in a combo lunch. Attentive staff, great view of the tall, fashionably braless woman waiting outside for someone who is apparently late. All in all a fine spot. read more

This place is nothing special. It's not amazing and it's not horrible. It's just Thai food, it's a bit on the pricy side for Thai food.

Cheap, good quality food and sizable portions!!! What more can you ask from a neighborhood haunt!

Small, informal location. I had the shrimp curry, a steal at 14.99 with 9 (count them, nine) jumbo shrimp! It wasn't that authentic, obviously made for a Canadian palate. Not spicy, but quite tasty. I'm sure I could ask for it a tiny bit spicier next time I go back (which I probably will.) read more

I give this place a good rating based on ordering 4 items (for two people). We had an Up-Country soup, pad thai, and spicy basil eggplant, plus coconut sticky rice. All were excellent. The spices used were just right. We asked for medium spiciness on pad thai but it wasn't very spicy at all. If I go again I'll get hotter. The coconut sticky rice was slightly sweetened with coconut and was tasty on its own. Sorn Thai seems to be owned by Thai rather than Chinese, which is a plus to me. I love Chinese and Thai food but had bad experiences at a few "pretend to be Thai" restaurants where the food felt more Chinese than Thai. Prices are fair and taste is good. Portion is fair. My only minor complaint was the price on the soup. That not so large bowl of soup was $9.45 before tax, and it was mostly vegetables, but with two very large tiger shrimps. But I can overlook this because I was very satisfied with the other two dishes. I'd definitely come again if I lived closer or frequented that area more often. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is exquisite. Try their basil squid!

In my opinion, they have the best Pad Thai in the city. Also, very friendly and modest restaurant environment. Friendly staff. Also, will deliver if price is over $25, which is a nice perk. Been coming here for years and will continue to do so. read more
