My friend and I have been planning to meet up for a while. Our schedules and her moving to Hamilton…read morethis summer had delayed our plan, but we got it together last Saturday. For years, I lived the furthest from the office in our department. Well, that title has been bequeathed to my friend, who lives 60 km from the office. Luckily, we don't need to commute for the rest of 2020 due to the pandemic. If it were a contest, I'd move further east to win... haha! We both love Thai food. I looked at my Yelp bookmarks and suggested that we do takeout from Funky Thai. She liked the name and said, "Let's get funky!" Our plan was to find a park to chat and chow down. She was game. She got to the restaurant a couple of minutes before I did and texted me. I saw the Econo gas station and my eyes immediately looked at all the red signage that Funky Thai had. It's in a completely nondescript corner. I pulled in. There is a patch of road that is gravel. So, if you're turning in too fast, I can predict wiping out when it's slick. I backed into a parking spot next to my friend's car. To see her huge smile again was wonderful. I haven't seen her since I was last in the office back in early March! We walked into the restaurant. It is takeout only. Tables strategically placed next to one another provide a fort-like structure. The woman came over. She was nice. We saw the menu posted on the side. I went with curry pad thai with chicken. You can also do a mix of chicken and beef, and other protein combos for an extra charge. She asked whether I had any allergies, as chopped peanuts go on top of the pad thai. Nope, I was good. This combo came with an appetizer. I chose the veggie spring roll, as did my friend. I asked the woman whether she had any canned drinks. Her response? "Go to the gas station. It's cheaper. It's $1.75 here." Wow! Talk about being honest and promoting Econo Gas. My friend got the pineapple cashew nut fried rice with chicken and beef. It sounded good. Considering that we both did a mini road trip to Oakville, we both needed to use the washroom. You can only use it only if you're a customer. We asked if we could. The woman first went to the washroom to check. She then came back and moved one of the Tetris-like tables away so that my friend could walk over there. Once she came back, it was my turn. The washroom was clean and spacious. My food was ready pretty fast. My friend's took a bit longer. Still, it was fast considering that we were the only folks there. While I was in the washroom, my friend asked the nice woman where we could go to eat lunch. She recommended going down to the waterfront. She said that there were many parks. Nice! We chose Bronte Beach Park and drove over there. Once we found a vacant park bench, we had our late lunch. My friend confessed that she ate her veggie spring roll driving over to the park. I knew that it was yummy just from that admission. The veggie spring roll is amazing. It is jammed full of veggies and glass noodles. It was large, crunchy, and so go with the sweet and sour dipping sauce. I'd come back just for the spring roll alone. My curry pad thai was nicely packed. It looked pretty. It tasted yummy. The noodles were perfect. The curry wasn't spicy. I went with mild, but I would do medium next time. The chicken was white meat, which was tender and yummy. I also got tofu, which was an added bonus. The veggies were delicious. I ate the whole thing. I didn't have a chance to take a photo of my friend's pineapple fried rice. She plowed into it, as she was hungry. It looked amazing. She loved it. I need to order some when I'm in the neighbourhood again. This Thai restaurant also offers Vietnamese food fare. I'd love to try some in future. We both paid using debit. The woman brings the machine to you. This eatery is in such an odd location, but it's definitely worth visiting if you're in Oakville. The service is quick and efficient. I had a great experience.

What a hidden gem!And don't be fooled by the outside.So this Thai restaurant is located behind a…read moregas station with no fancy welcoming look, the parking area too is not finished well with stones and gravel. So a neighbor of ours highly recommend us to try this Thai restaurant, I was very skeptical since the reviews were pretty low.None the less I did give it a shot today and was pleasantly surprised and happy with the interior, service and food. So I came here right after my doctors appointment and decided to get a couple of entrees to try out.I opted to stick with the lunch menu.My order was a spicy Thai basil chicken and glass noodles with vegetables and chicken.Every lunch special comes with a soup or spring roll, I got one of each. The spring roll were absolutely divine much bigger and stuffed well compared to many other Thai restaurant.The hot and sour soup was pretty standard. The main entrees came out within 10-12 minutes after ordering.Both the dishes were so so flavorful and the portions were generous.I also felt that they don't skimp on their meat.Both my entrees were loaded with meat. I ate as much as I could and took the remaining home for dinner.My server was this middle aged gentleman, he was fast and kept checking on me.He also packed my leftovers which I thought was super nice. The place itself is very clean and definitely not that bad as it may look from outside.I highly recommend going here for lunch special and more. I do look forward to coming here again to try out some more dishes with my family.

This is a small independent restaurant by Jane station on the south side of Bloor. Appointed with…read moreThai artifacts and styling but I don't believe the owners are Thai background. Food (3.5/5) - Vintage Pad Thai - it was ok overall. Definitely prepared in the traditional thai way with the Tamarind sauce, fish base and peanuts - combo savoury spicy sweet however was a bit on the vinegar side. Noodles were ok and serving was ample for the price. Service (3.5/5) - server was friendly however it was a bit slow getting the order and it was just takeout and not that busy. Atmosphere (3.75/5) - its a small place with about 6 tables with the counter at the back as you walk in. Seemed clean enough and basic setup. Overall (3.5/5) - an ok place overall and reasonable prices... just nothing above average imo.

We got the table for 2 lunch special for $43. It came with a drink and we opted for guava juice. The meal came all T once, which I would have preferred it dish by dish. Appetizer was one spring roll cut in half for each person. The chicken red curry from flavourful. Not too spicy which was great!! The pad Thai looked saucy, but I once I took some out, had it on my plate, it wasn't sweet at all, but a nice tangy taste to it. Surprisingly it came with nice tofu pieces. Advice, they could have added some veggies for colouration to the dish. Overall, it was decent experience since it's located near Islington subway station. Weekdays parking can be tricky.

Service is a hit or miss, while all the staff are polite and friendly, sometimes it's hard to get their attention, especially when things start to pick up. The restaurant is not big, but around lunch time gets pretty busy. It's a comfortable space, nothing fancy. We ordered the pad see ew and khao soi. Pad see ew was good, had nice flavours. Though it didnt come with the traditional large wide noodles. The khao soi was good as well, though again, had mixed canto fried noodles as the topping. Overall a good place to grab a quick bite.

Relatives brought me here while I was visiting Toronto the other week -…read more Small shared parking lot here - but most places were closed at dinner time, so parking was plentiful - restaurant was kind of dim , and lacked lighting in my opinion. Service was very quick and we were seated right away on a weekday night - wasn't busy at all - servers were friendly and made suggestions on what to order. The red chick curry was average at best, found the chicken on the dryer side of things. Pad Thai was also pretty average to me , nothing really stood out. Had Tom Yum soup as well, that was pretty tasty and had a nice spice kick to it (not pictured - as I forgot) Pricing and portions seemed fair - not sure if this was the best Thai in Toronto area, but I definitely have some better go to's in Vancouver. Overall, it's worth a try - however, I'd probably try something else next time, since I'm not local.

Tried Nimman Thai Cuisine on a whim while we were in the area, and it turned out not so bad…read more We ordered a mix of dishes, including their Pad Thai Hor Kai (which they list as a Top 10 in Toronto), wrapped in a fried egg with chicken and jumbo shrimp. It was enjoyable and well-balanced, with a slight creaminess from the coconut milk. It may not be the best pad thai imo, but still a good version that's worth trying. The cashew nut chicken had a nice portion and was cooked well, though it lacked the pungent aroma and the umami depth from shrimp paste that I usually expect from this dish. The deep-fried tofu came with their roasted ground peanut sauce, which was really well done and added a lot to the dish. We also tried the Yakupom, a refreshing mix of pomegranate, Yakult, and rosemary that added a light, tangy contrast to the meal. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout. Overall, a satisfying neighbourhood spot with a few highlights, even if not everything stood out.

The staff were extremely nice and quick with their service. The restaurant was very long and had a surprising amount of tables with lots of Thai decor. We ordered the following: Green curry with brown rice 7/10 - chose tofu as protein and it was very good, flavourful coconut curry with lots of vegetables - $18 Khao Soi 9/10 - Egg noodles with beef and a golden coconut curry, very flavourful and filled with lots of onions and green + red peppers. Very tasty and presentation was on point - $21 Thai iced tea 7/10 - a little too sweet for my liking but still pretty good - $4.5 Golden sweet potato fritters 8/10 - loved the texture for this, almost like fries but fright in a light batter. Came with sweet and sour dipper sauce too - $14 Overall I thought the food was very good, and portion sizes were good as well, we ended up taking home most of the sweet potato fritters because we were too full to finish! total spent was about $75 after tax and tips

Fantastic restaurant for Thai food lovers who have kids!…read more They have a kids menu that doubled as a coloring activity book. The choices are really good and come with a main dessert and drink.

Definitely coming back soon.
