Found a hidden gem of a Thai restaurant. The food was comforting and reasonably priced. Between the three of us, we ordered the tom yum soup, pad see ew, Penang curry, and pork laab (minced pork with sticky rice), and we were content. The spice was mild and very nice. Service was fast, and there are weekend and weekday lunch specials. Accessibility: free wifi, paid street parking, public several public transportation options, no changing table, no automatic door opener (two sets of doors), washrooms are downstairs (uneven and narrow staircase), no changing tables. read more

Good fresh Thai food. A little bit on the pricier side given that its a small mom and pop/hole in the wall kind of place, with one or two people serving, owing to slower service at times and not too much foot traffic. The spice levels are good, but the thai spicy didn't knock our socks off. The minced chicken dish was very flavorful but they skimped on the rice. The potato samosa was just ok. I wouldn't get it next time and opt for the spring rolls or the papaya salad. The restrooms are downstairs and are clean. read more

Got the pad kee mao for dinner and it was so tasty. I think the spicy option elevates it to the next level and brings it from tasty to out of this world delicious! Will definitely return. read more

The pad see ew was a bit plain. There's not much flavour. I do like the thickness of the noodles. Over all the service was average and the vibes are homey. read more

For my first time in Toronto, I am thoroughly happy to say that this place was incredible! My husband and I got the fried kalamari, steak & rice and laab, and all dishes were incredible. Great portions for the price and really friendly service. As Southeast Asian people, the Thai art and flare to this place was a huge plus. I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Oh boy, where do I even begin? After trying out this restaurant almost 4 years ago, it is still considered my favourite restaurant of all time! Since then, I have been recommending this place to my new coworkers and have brought old friends here as well. I have introduced more than 10+ people already and everyone all had something positive to say about the food here. Whenever my partner and I are in the area, we always suggest eating here if we don't have plans to eat elsewhere. Sometimes when I call to order ahead, I would ask the lady for the "Cindy special" and she would know what what I was referring to. My go-to order is the pad kee mao with chicken and made extra spicy. There were times where I was challenged (meaning the dish was spicer than what I could handle) but I always finished it haha. I have tried many other dishes/apps and a few that stand out include: - pad see ew - rhad nha noodles - green curry - mango salad - calamari I have been going here a bit more often, mostly during work breaks and service here has always been the same, awesome and awesome! So in conclusion, I LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

This place is pretty great. Feels very authentic. I came with a large group and they sat us very easily. Took our orders and our food came out fast and hot. From the others in my group the Curry, Pad Thai and Pad See-Ew were all great. Me and another person ordered the Crispy Fish with Eggplant and it was very good. Cooked extremely well and came with a side of rice. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone that wants to try something different than Pad-Thai. Great food and great service! Not much to complain about :) read more

Thai Country Kitchen - Crispy Fish with Eggplant. Very good! - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've lived downtown for how long and I've never been to this place?! Authentic Thai food. No bells and whistles here. It's real home cooking. If you go to the usual places just off of King St. W., you're honestly paying almost double the prices for something very similar. Sure, the decor isn't screaming for Instagram but if you want very reasonably priced Thai dishes, I strongly recommend giving this place a try. Shrimp in a pepper sauce served with rice. Delicious. 8 nice sized shrimp. Pad see eew with beef. Very good flavour. Pad Thai with chicken. A little heavy on the sauce. A little short on bean sprouts and chives. Definitely add a sprinkling of some chilli peppers and a squish of lime. Portions are not huge, but again, very fair prices. I'd definitely come back! read more

Let's summarize that this place as a "hole in the wall" that offers decent and authentic Thai food. We ordered a three person combo for $28 along with a few other items which ended up being too much food. Ambiance is a bit dated, parking is a chore (we got lucky after fighting for a spot on Spadina) but at least the food and service experience was good. If you are looking for affordable and authentic Thai food without the "extras" in a no frills environment, this is a worth considering. read more

I can't believe that this place has a rating of 10/10 on Skip the Dishes. I tried 4 items, and didn't like ANY of them. Small portions and overpriced and yuck. The cold rolls were HALF carrot. The shrimp in the Spicy Noodles were dry as heck - and the order was NOT spicy. (even after asking for extra spicy) The Golden bags were yuck. Never ordering from this place again. read more

Honest to god the best place for Thai in Toronto! Sure, there are a couple spots that are flashier (and unnecessarily crowded) but their food can't hold a candle to this place. Thai Country Kitchen is unbelievably authentic and warm. Every time I visit, it reminds me of having a meal at my mum's house. Their food is always piping hot, the place clean, and the decor is homespun. Truly a gem in Toronto eateries! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night with a girlfriend to catch up - it was great! Not too busy, but kind of hard to find, and the signage is super purple - not really what I expected but I LOVED it. Service was awesome; there was only one woman manning the cash register and serving everyone their food & water but no one's cup was ever empty & our food came super quick. The restaurant is older & kind of out dated but it's super cute and clean inside. I have absolutely no complaints, there were little elephants on my placemat & hints of Thailand everywhere within the restaurant. The food was BOMB especially for the price. The shrimp chips come with this amazing sauce, that I assume is made from peanuts. My pineapple fried rice was worth the price & the pineapple chunks were big & juicy. Overall, would definitely come back to this place even if I wasn't in the area. Loved it. read more

+.5 for service Thai Country Kitchen is located in Chinatown, which is losing its China and is evolving to an "East Asia" Town with the abundance of Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai places. The outside looks a little bit sketchy, but the inside has a decent traditional feel. Their lunch specials are very affordable and are definitely worth the price you pay. I had the pad thai noodles with chicken, which is the standard order for me when I'm dining alone for lunch. Their lunch specials come with a single piece of spring roll. The spring roll was quite good, definitely of excellent value considering the affordable price as is (under $10 for the entire meal). The pad thai came after, and while I overall enjoyed it, I felt the noodles were slightly undercooked. I like it chewy, but I should not be feeling portions of noodles that felt indifferent from the dry bags you buy from grocery stores. However, the portions were excellent. Service was excellent, and the employees really try to make sure everyone is satisfied with their food. For under $10, this is probably one of the best Thai places out there, and I wouldn't hesitate on returning here. read more

Thai Country Kitchen - Pad Thai Noodles Chicken - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

12:30 lunch for three on a Monday. Ate at the restaurant. Rating does not take into account take-out or delivery options. There were two other tables of guests, but it was raining heavily outside so that may have had an impact. Interesting decor. Lots of things to see: cultural paintings and statues neatly arranged all over the place. Huge mirror lining along one side of the wall so that you can admire yourself while you eat. Fork and knife is available. No chopsticks provided, but perhaps they may be requested (I suppose this is normal for a Thai place). Lunch specials are available from 11 AM to 3 PM, ranging from $5.99 to $7.99. Ordered the Pad Thai Noodles with Chicken for $7.59. Portion size was decent and the taste was enjoyable (based purely on whether I liked it or not; I do not consider "authenticity") All lunch specials come with a spring roll. The one I received was a fried vegetarian spring roll. It was great; nice and crispy. I think one of our party didn't receive one...but likely it was gone before I even noticed. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend it if you're looking for a budget meal. read more

Thai Country Kitchen - Lunch special: Pad Thai Noodles with Chicken. Includes a spring roll - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Best pad Thai I've ever had. I still dream about it. If I ever return to Toronto I'm coming back! A+

What a delight! While in search of some cheap eats, a quick yelp search lead me to Thai Country Kitchen, and it was everything I was craving. Walking in, it wasn't the prettiest decor, rather the old-toronto mom and pop joint viibe - very homey. The staff seated us right away and were very attentive through out, even though a large party had walked in soon after. The menu is quite traditional no-frills Thai fare. I had the panang curry with rice, and my friend had one of the beef dishes. Both were very good, and the portions were just right. I must the say the panang curry was incredibly flavourful and the kefir lime was strong - just the way I like it! I'll definitely swing by next time I am in the area... read more

Last Friday I made my first visit to the venue; I came with a dining out Social Group for dinner. I decided to order the chicken pad thai noodle selection which was one of the best, if not the best noodle dishes I've had anywhere; quite flavourful, appropriately juicy and a pretty large portion and thereby quite filling for the price. The restaurant is fairly small but quite nicely decorated; darker colours tend to prevail which I believe helps give the venue a bit of an upscale appearance. I was impressed by quite a few other dinner, etc. options on the menu thereby encouraging a repeat visit, and as it's in Chinatown, there are lots of shops and other amenities close by. read more

Got the pad thai and it was awesome. Great portions too. Service was very quick and polite. Very quiet and clean spot.

I was craving for some Thai food near Chinatown, so I decided to check this place out due to all the stellar reviews it had on Yelp. I'm a huge fan of hole-in-the-wall type joints that whip out good food for less than expected prices, but my expectations were sadly not met during my visit here. I ordered the chicken pad thai, which is my usual choice when trying out a Thai restaurant for the first time. The dish looked good in appearance, but it tasted a bit off after the first few bites. Each component of the Pad Thai tasted like it was cooked separately and then thrown onto the same plate for some reason. The noodles tasted saucier than the chicken, which itself tasted like it was stir-fried in a different sauce altogether. The peanuts in the dish tasted very oily and offsetting too. Overall, it was not an enjoyable experience for my palate. The prices are very affordable, however, but you may be getting what you pay for when you eat here. For the price of the Pad Thai, I feel like I could've gotten a better tasting meal at a generic chain like Thai Express... read more

Thai Country Kitchen - Chicken Pad Thai. Looked decent but tasted weird - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I LOVE Thai cuisine!! Thai Country Kitchen is my favorite authentic Thai place. It's very cozy with fantastic, affordable food, and friendly service. Their Pad See Ew was absolutely amazing! Very fragrant of the soy sauce flavor and cooked perfectly with egg, chicken and broccoli leaves. This truly reminded me of Bangkok street food so it definitely brought me back. Next, their Yellow Chicken Curry was simply delicious! Very coconut creamy with just the right saltiness and spicy kick. You could literally drink it up as it's that good! For dessert, you MUST try their Thai iced milk tea and Coconut Mango Rice. You won't regret it especially if you like sweets. Overall, if you love authentic and very affordable Thai food, Thai County Kitchen is a hidden gem that you MUST try! read more

As I was looking for a place to eat dinner, I saw an ad on yelp for this restaurant and decided to try it out. I've never trusted yelp ads but decided to give it a go since I was super hungry. The owner was SUPER nice and sweet and welcomed me. I asked for the bowl of noodles I saw on yelp and he immediately knew what I was taking about. I got a bowl of egg noodles with dumplings, meatballs, pork slices, and bean sprouts. The broth was very flavourful but not too greasy. The noodles were thin and chewy. Overall it was delicious and cheap! The owner made me feel super welcomed and I will definitely be returning. read more

I visited Thai Country Kitchen today for take out. Their $4.99 lunch special is an impossibly affordable deal. You can have either rice or pad thai, and choose your protein: beef or chicken (seasoned in a myriad of ways) or tofu. I placed an order to go and sat down. The restaurant was empty as I waited, and smelled faintly of incense. I think it would be a pretty decent place to dine as it contains the requisite Siamese iconography and decor, and there is a fair bit of seating. I especially liked the raised table for two in the window. Sitting there I felt as though I was a mannequin on display. Ten minutes later the food was ready, and I was impressed by the large portion, I zipped home and devoured the entire thing within minutes. A solid meal though honestly not the best I've ever had. But it was certainly filling and their prices are hard to beat. I'll come back to try dinner sometime. Obligatory Title Pun: THAI to find a cheaper lunch. Menu Readability: Simple laminated one-pager in a times font, punctuated with hints of purple, red and green text. Need to mention: They accept debit and credit. What this place teaches me about myself: I could totes be a mannequin. Just pay me in noodles. read more

Had a chance to finally meet up with a good friend of mine. And this meeting was wayyy overdue. So I asked him what he felt like and bam he said, good thai at reasonable prices. The thought of Thai Country Kitchen came to mind. Now I have never been to Thai Country Kitchen but I've heard nothing but good reviews about this place. Thai Country Kitchen is located along Spadina near the end of the north side of chinatown and kinda looks like a hole in the wall place. No special decor and tho we went to dinner pretty late, there wasn't huge traffic only a few tables. Which sometimes could be a red flag. My friend and I started ordering and wanted to get a decent amount of food. We started with a calamari appetizer and it wasn't bad. It was freshly deep fried and it was deep fried just enough. However, it did feel like it came from a frozen package, but surprisingly it was okay. For this price, you can't complain. We ordred pad thai, a panang curry with beef and a yellow curry with chicken all with coconut rice. We also ordered a shrimp pad thai and thought it was slightly above average where once again no complaints. The noodles were cooked well, the flavour was good and it was saucy enough where it wasn't too saucy nor was it dry. And I would probably say, it was the curries which were a surprise. They were delicious. Now, I like my curry a little sweet, some even say I like it a little too sweet but meh. The curry that we were served had good consistency and the texture was well balanced. It wasn't watery or too thick, it was perfect. I liked the flavour and for me, outta the two I did like the panang curry slightly better than the yellow curry. But seriously both were definitely good. I felt the coconut rice was a little lacking, but that was probably the only negative. Overall, I have to say I liked Thai Country Kitchen. Is it a good looking restaurant, no. But the food and the prices were definitely good. You can tell its family owned and operated where they cared about the food and how their customers were treated. And yes, my water was always filled without asking. So I would definitely come back if I was in the region and they have lunch specials too. Thai Country Kitchen will grow on you if you give it a chance. read more

Thanks to the other Yelpers who typed first about this place, I went there this past week. John F, you sold it to me by first mentioning that it was 25% cheaper than most Thai restaurants. Then I think I read Craaackle S's review, the words "spring roll" popped out... and lo, that's what I ended up getting -- PAD THAI (I requested "vegetarian", with no eggs), SPRING ROLL, DESSERT lunch special for $6.99. I didn't ask until the food was ready, if it was the (westerner's) version of Pad Thai (the one w/ ketchup), or an authentic version. Luckily, she told me that they had only one version at this place... the authentic version. I used to live around the corner of this place, back when it was the same restaurant - but had a different name and owner. Food choices seem to be exactly the same. Food quality seems to still be there, and it's hard to beat their $4.99 lunch food combos... I took pics, so you can see if any of the items will appeal to you. Call ahead for pick up. Just like with the last owners, the people working there this time were Thai speaking. I'm happy this place is still around and offering Thai food at good prices. The quality and taste of the food was good, but it was never like "oh my god". The spring rolls are good, do try them. The pad Thai was good, if you need your fix, this place will do what it can to satisfy. In the past, I've had their eggplant dish (with basil leaves), and mixed veg dish. Both good. I've also had their tofu lunch specials before. At $4.99, it's still competitively priced for a hot meal to eat in or for take out. I'll be back. Just b/c Thai restaurants in Kensington are few, the prices here are right, and the overall taste is good. Service, btw, was always with a smile and kind tone. read more

Cozy little Thai restaurant in Chinatown that my co-workers and I tired. I ordered the Kao Soy wish was alright - didn't find the yellow curry creamy enough and there was a serious lack of vegetable (3 pieces of broccoli, flower shaped carrots and cabbage) and a handful of chicken. It was $6.99 and comes with a spring roll - nothing special to be honest. I did not like the fact that I came out of the restaurant smelling like it - I have this thing about smelling like food and seriously felt that I was walking around with a stench of food trailing me (gross). Overall, I did not particularly enjoy this place. I would not come back. read more

I ordered through Uber at 12:18 and the food didn't arrive till 1:30, most of the time showed it being prepared in the kitchen, that's fine, it's lunch time, cut them some slack for taking this long. The pad Thai, red curry and Thai coconut soup was average, and the basil chicken was horrendous. The vegetable and the chicken already changed colours from being soaked in the broth ( wayyyy too much broth) for so long and the content didn't even fill 2/3 of the box. It looked and tastes worse than home- cooked stir fry chicken. I am greatly disappointed. read more

Went here for dinner on a friday night at 8:30. The place was pretty much empty. The menu was standard with all the thai curries and stir-fry that you will get at any Thai place.

I don't understand the hype. Food was not memorable, and there's definitely better in Chinatown, for the same price range. Ambiance is also awkward, but my main disappointment lies in the lackluster food. I would hold onto that $10, unless you're broke, tired, and starving for Thai. read more

I went here today and ordered the Pad Thai and then the meat that I got with the pad Thai was RAW. However, I ordered the spring rolls and that was 100 stars.

Super glad this place stays open until 10:00 pm on Sundays because my buddies and I were craving Thai but most in the area closed earlier. We decided to get a few dishes to share among each other. We got the pad thai, pineapple fried rice, and the spicy eggplant with crispy fish (which was suggested to us by our lovely waitress). Pad thai and pineapple fried rice were great but I was really impressed by the spicy eggplant crisy fish. It was very very tasty, especially the fish. Portions were good. All three of us were satisfied. And plus great service! Looking forward to try again when I'm back in Toronto. read more

Has to be one of my favourite places to get Thai food downtown now!! Very small place but big flavours and unreal food! I had the veggie pad Thai lunch special which was $8 and came with a veggie spring roll. It was better than most Thai places I've been to and tasted traditional and homemade. Seems like a family owned place but the staff were very nice. Decor could use an update but nonetheless the food is amazing. It's just outside of Kensington in Chinatown so is a short walk to an amazing part of Toronto as well!! Would recommend to anyone looking for good Thai food in Toronto read more
