Obviously, when you learn of a restaurant that only has two entrees on its menu, your interest is going to immediately be piqued. If they're only serving two dishes, you think, they must both be absolutely incredible. And you'd be right. We arrived at Thai Nyyom shortly after it opened on a recent Saturday and snagged one of the few tables. I knew going in that I wanted to try their spin on Khao Soi (with chicken), so that's exactly what I ordered. It's incredible. It's got all the flavor and complexity that you'd expect from the iconic dish, but everything's been elevated considerably. All the components work really well together, and I appreciated that the broth wasn't as thick as it can sometimes be. (The most excellent chili oil on the table kicked the whole thing up considerably.) I'll definitely have to return sometime to check out their other menu mainstay, Chicken Rice, but it'll be very difficult to resist that Khao Soi. read more

Thai Nyyom - Khao Soi. - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I found myself in the Bloordale neighbourhood and this place was HIGHLY recommended by a friend who's familiar with the area. Safe to say - I did NOT leave disappointed. Dare I say, this might be some of the best Thai food that downtown Toronto has to offer. Thai Nyyom is small. It's small in size with about 5 tables in the restaurant, which can make it kind of tricky if you're planning to visit with a larger party. It's also small in scope, with only 2 mainstay menu items with an additional Chef's Special. However, Thai Nyyom is NOT small in flavour and taste. I had the Chicken Rice and had a bite of my partner's Chicken Khao Soi. Hainanese Chicken Rice is a deceptively simple dish that's really easy to get wrong. Thai Nyyom's offering was excellent, with juicy, flavourful chicken that came with a side of delicious broth. Being not the biggest fan of spice, the Khao Soi was too intense for me but my partner loved it. She said that it was some of the best Khao Soi she's ever had. I definitely plan to come back the next time I find myself in the neighbourhood to try the Chef's Special. And maybe a side of the Chicken Wings as well. And maybe some Thai Iced Tea while I'm at it. read more

Thai Nyyom - Chicken Rice ($18) - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Super limited menu, like the least amount of items I have ever seen on a menu so I assumed they really take pride in the dishes they offered. I got the khao soi with chicken. I am not a khao soi kinda person but this dish was actually not bad. I was surprised to see mustard greens there in a dish so it definitely was different. The broth was very yummy, packed with lots of flavour. Enjoyed the fried shallots and red onion that came with it as well. Good portion for the price. I had no idea this place existed and am happy my friend and I stumbled here by accident! read more

Thai Nyyom - Khao soi chicken - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place has a small menu with 2 daily specials. Tax is included in the prices. Fried pork belly was crispy, tender & juicy. It was served with a flavourful sweet & spicy sauce & sticky rice, which was unusual though slightly dry. Papaya salad had a great rich sauce with fish sauce & dried shrimp. Beef balls (7) were really springy & served with a sweet & savoury sauce. They were full of umami flavour. Chicken wings (6) were on the smaller side but crispy, juicy & tasty. I think they had some shrimp paste. They were served with a sweet chili sauce that I think was a homemade version of Thai chili sauce. It was decent but the pork belly sauce was better. Thai iced tea tasted pretty good but needed more condensed milk instead of syrup. The sweetness & taste were right but it was too thin. It was the only dish that wasn't great. read more

Food was ok. Small restaurant and very nice staff. I think other options exist that are better. If you live in the neighborhood then it's a nice visit. read more

Thai Nyyom located along Bloor St. W. near Symington Ave, is a small Thai eatery serving up homemade and authentic eats with no MSG. I heard about Thai Nyyom from another IG-er and had always been interested in trying the place. Serving mainly only 3 dishes (along with another special), the space is small with about 5-6 tables and some window seating as well. You do pay at the cashier first and then take a seat where your food will be brought to you. I stopped by Thai Nyyom on a Sat around 3:30pm to order take out. To my surprise, there were a handful of customers eating inside. I got the chicken rice for take out where my food took around 10 min to prepare. Staff were super friendly during my time there. Food wise, I love how the take out was packaged! The rice and chicken were wrapped up neatly using paper that kept it all together. Taste wise, the chicken with the sauce was delicious and the rice was flavourful and aromatic. The broth it came with was tasty and delicious. Everything was great and I hope to return for more to try their other dishes as well! Definitely recommend if you are around the area! read more

The sauce they have for their chicken rice was absolutely superb! Local neighborhood restaurant with the owners working there everyday. Their menus changes slightly depending on what they feel like making. But the core dish for me is the chicken rice. It's a cozy spot and the staff is very friendly. I welcome others to come support this very local business! read more

Omg! I cannot believe I waited so long before trying this place out! I am definitely happy I managed to dine in before their long holiday break. They are closed now, until Feb. 19th! Which is so awesome for them, and makes the patrons' desire and anticipation for the reopening duely noticed. I got the chicken rice dish with a wintermelon soup. It was lukewarm, yet tasty. The person I was with got the chef special that day, which was a spicy soup with chicken and rice noodles. My dish was accompanied with a gingery sauce that was so enjoyable I went back the next day to purchase one. Small, for $2. Both were superb! The chef really knows what they are doing. We had gone on Winter Solstice, a Thursday evening and the place was full. And quite lively. I had no idea they took reservations and we snagged a spot at the window's bar. We only had half hour to eat, which did make me feel rushed, as I scarfed down my food, not the best experience. The person I was with forgot about our time limit and quickly slurped the remaining soup stock from her bowl within the last 5 minutes of our stay. While leaving, what looked like a large enough portion of the soup contents. It was so hot and spicy, she conveyed. Personally, I don't like to leave food behind. However in some Cultures it can be a good sign. I was so excited to try their Thai iced Tea and didn't get it then, so I returned the next day and wow! What a treat indeed! Floral, fragrant, refreshing and delicious. I actually went out and got coconut milk, which I was told thats how it is prepared in Thailand. Service was friendly and effecient. I will most definitely return in the New Year. I was told a new menu can be expected. read more

It was our first time for lunch at Thai Nyyom and it lived up to the hype. Cute little place that smells amazing when you walk in. Service was friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. The flavours of the dishes were bright and fresh. Two of us shared their signature Khao Soi and the daily special, stewed pork (pork belly), egg and five spices. We will return! read more

Thai Nyyom - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Small restaurant with a very limited menu that depends on pedestrian traffic. I think there was literally 1 table + stools at the front window. There are like 3 main items to choose from Chicken Rice (like Hunan Chicken), Khao Soi (noodles in a curry soup), and whatever the Chef's Special is for the day. Each item is $13, so it is quite reasonable especially when comparing other Thai places in the City! Young girl who took my order was very friendly and I asked her for her recommendation. She suggested the Chef's Special which was Pork Penang Curry. It was delicious and flavours were authentic! I also got a Thai Iced Tea which was $4 - not bad. It was initially a bit sweet, but fine once some of the ice melted. Colour was legit. If you're in the mood for Thai, this a great option! Too bad that it's not really in a convenient area that has parking. You could probably park on a side street to pick up your takeout, but it is a bit of a hassle as it's located on busy Bloor St W! read more

Was craving some good Thai food and came here from a friend's recommendation. The restaurant is actually more of a take out spot so it is quite small and very limited seating (maybe 4 stools for a high top table). There were no other customers so we were able to grab a seat. The menu options were very limited to 3 items: chicken and rice, khao soi and daily specials which changes pretty often. They also had appetizers and dessert. We ordered their chicken and rice - very simple, lightly seasoned chicken slices on top of some plain white rice, a side cucumbers and refreshing wintermelon soup. The chicken pieces were a bit dry if eaten alone with just the rice, so with the addition of the dipping spicy sauce that came with it, it enhanced the dish flavours and the wintermelon soup to wash it down. The cucumber slices added a great crunch as well. The khao soi was very flavourful and creamy - loaded with a lot of toppings. We also ordered their papaya salad which was pretty good and it took me back to my trip to Thailand because of how authentic and spicy it tasted! Lastly, we also had a cup of Thai iced tea which had a nice and strong Thai tea flavour. We wanted to order their mango sticky rice for dessert but they unfortunately did not have it for the day. Will definitely want to try their mango sticky rice next time I return as it is one of my go to Thai desserts! The staff was very warm and welcoming, definitely a place I will return back to for some authentic Thai food. read more

Been here twice. Tried the Khao soi and chicken rice. I LOVED the spicy sauce that came with the chciekn rice. I think the poor review from the other guy is because he literally ate plain rice and chicken? He is supposed to eat it with the dipping sauce and soup side... Khao soi is has a different from other places that is a bit more sour but refreshing due to the pickled vegetables. read more

$13 w tax ($11.99) For some of the absolute WORST cuts of chicken I've ever seen assembled on a plate... Very small menu (I like that concept). If I paid $5 it would be too much, it was NOT good. Rubbery skin all over BAD cuts of meat, enough to turn one vegetarian or vegan (or not...). Should be chicken breast, then maybe it's edible. What a huge disappointment. I miss my $13.... read more

This place is a tiny restaurant with a tiny menu. The menu is basically 3 things, and those 3 things are made really well. The prices are pretty reasonable in the grand scheme of everything is expensive nowadays. There are a few tables to sit and eat, but I normally get take out. It's easy to order online. It's a grreat neighbourhood spot. read more

One of my good friends took me to Thai Nyyom - she used to live in Thailand- and you can guarantee everything on their menu is fresh and traditional! Their small menu features rotating dishes and seasonal favorites. Please try their sticky rice and chicken Khao Soi, it's the best in the city! I find the Tofu Khao Soi is a bit bland, and their Pad Thai is on the runny side but, overall, I've never been disappointed here! read more

Thai Nyyom - Chicken Khao Soi with spicy papaya and mango salad and ginger chicken and rice. - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food was delicious. Friendly wait staff. Authentic "hole in wall" type of ambiance. Only a few tables with a window facing counter. Limited menu choices. Not your typical restaurant. Location is not good. Parking limited. read more

Excellent genuine and exquisite family style thai food!! The small menu in itself is in my opinion a warranty of the love that comes in these dishes! read more

Possibly the best Thai food I've had in the city. Staff is so friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The food is fresh and beyond delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more

Definitely a small hole in the wall. The menu is short and sweet with three items total, khao soi, chicken rice and of Thai. Simple and sweet. I had the Khao Soi and it was really fresh and delicious. The fried egg noodles were nice and crisp, the soup was hot and slightly creamy, with the touch of the lime to add some extra freshness to it. This place is predominantly a take out place, though I think they can fit a few more seats in the middle. The place definitely gives you a cozy, familial vibe. The staff are very friendly here. A part of me wishes there was a larger menu, however I feel like I would always go back to the Khao soi. Price point is a little higher for the portion, but I think it's worth it as we don't have much great Thai food in Toronto, and this is definitely one of the better ones! read more

Light filled little place. We ordered online and walked over for pick up during this pandemic. They have limited menus which is kinda nice for people who are having a hard time making decisions. We got chicken rice and the chefs special that day--tom yum shrimp. We substituted white steamed rice with the riceberry rice, it was delicious. A highlight of our meal was the appetizer--beefball in tamarind cause. It was flavourful and refreshing. Would eat here again in the future to try other specials. read more

Ordered the chicken rice and Thai iced tea and it was quite good! Menu is really nice and simple with only 2 things on the menu and one special along with some drinks. The portion is a little small for the price, and taking into considersation that it's primarily a takeout place. Dishes are around $11, so a bit more rice just to fill you up would be nice! read more

The flavor of food here is great! Might be our new Thai place to get food. Everything is very fresh. I loved watching the lady make papaya salad. So fresh! The Khao soi is delicious is plenty. Only thing is even ordering at 5p, some of the specials are sold out! How early do I need to get here? The service is really good and nice. Parking is very hard around here. read more

A great little spot for Thai food. The menu is small - they have chicken rice and khao soi (chicken or tofu), and a rotating daily special. We got the chicken rice and the special, which was a panang curry with beef or tofu. It was served with a side of purple rice with a fried egg on top. Prices and portions were quite reasonable at $11.50. Food was simple, homey, and delicious. It definitely tasted like authentic Thai food (speaking as someone who has eaten extensively in Thailand) and it's run by Thai people. Service was very quick and friendly, and a lot of people came by for take out. There is limited seating - 2 small tables and 4 bar stools only. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a quick, filling, and delicious meal. I am looking forward to going back to try their khao soi and other specials. read more

I now have a new favourite restaurant in the city. I love everything about this place. Its mom and pop and welcoming energy is hard to find in TO. The service is kind and unpretentious. Their food is as good as it gets! Spicy but nothing you can't still taste the flavours from. Their menu changes daily but I'd recommend the pork skewers and the nam tok (pretty spicy). If you're lucky and the desert guy is there, definitely grab a few deserts from the stand too. read more

Some of the freshest, most incredible tasting Thai food I've ever had! Only a couple options on the menu is a good sign that each dish is being made with experience and care and the restaurant is not trying to over do it with hundreds of menu items. All the love to this place! It is affordable and will now be one of my go to's for food in the area read more

I've been here 3 times. Maybe the best Thai in town. It's a wonderful authentic, family run spot. The khao soi is succulent. A must try at least once. The takeout is top notch. If you're in a giant rush or want crappy ketchup pad Thai don't come here. read more

The waiter made a comment about my weight when I asked for spring rolls lolol. The menu was limited, food was mediocre and the service was terrible. read more

I feel compelled to leave a glowing review after my fourth visit here and never once being disappointed with their food. The menu is limited to chicken rice, khao soi, and a daily special which changes every time; every single dish is absolute perfection! As someone who has been to Thailand at least eight times thus far (I've lost count how often I have been there), take my word and trust me when I say every dish at Thai Nyyom rivals what you can get in Thailand. It's even better than what an average food stall serves in Thailand. Goes without saying that it's simply the best Thai food you can get in Toronto. If you're ever craving for a Thai meal, RUN to Thai Nyyom for your Thai fix. read more

We were in the area to go to a restaurant next door and they had their soft opening. We had their Khao Mun gai and it was amazing. Everything was super fresh, made to order, place was very clean and service was great. Small restaurant with a few chairs for seating. read more

I tried the Pad Thai w/Tofu. One of the best I have ever had. And I LOVE THAI FOOD! We also got the Chicken Khao Soi, which was equally delicious. Smaller menu allows the chef to specialize in all the dishes. Clean setup and well run joint. Highly recommend this place for people looking to get good homely, authentic tasting Thai food. Follow them on instagram to get daily specials. read more

I have 2 favourite Thai places in the neighbourhood, and this is one of them. Their Khao Soi is flavourful, and has the right amount of heat (hot for my wife, nice for me). Their packaging/bagging is very thoughtful and environmentally focused. A true Thai food & takeout experience, highly recommended. read more

This little place has incredible food- always very fresh, and the restaurant is very clean. The chicken khao soi is some of the best I've ever had- the chicken is fall off the bone tender every time, in a very delicate yet rich broth. so yum! read more

Authentic, delicious, Thai food. Simple and fresh ingredients, will definitely be coming back.

Only 3 items served, the third is always the chefs special. It's hands down the best Thai food in the city. It tastes home made. And it is! The chicken is a big drumstick and it's just so satisfying. Since they're mainly a counter, it's a lot of takeout. But the decor and sitting area is nice, but only 2 tables and a window counter. It doesn't look like much from the outside but wow. You gotta eat here. read more

Incredible food. A very small menu done perfectly. We got a tofu and a chicken kao soi and a papaya salad. Both were expertly flavoured -- the kao soi was so much more complex tasting than others in the city. The chicken one came with an entire braised chicken thigh. The papaya salad was delicious. Both were a great level of spice. I have nothing bad to say about this place. I guess I wish it was open later on weeknights? That's it. read more
