The place didn't strike me as wanting to traipse up the stairs and check it out, I mean I've had pretty bad Thai food experiences in Northern America... but I was tired and hungry and I wanted something spicy. This small place seemed like one I might be able to ask for spicy. I ordered the northern version papaya salad and I ask for extra spicy. the Thai lady ask me how many chillies I want. She suggested 5, I said 7, she said 'you sure' I said 'ok 5' well she was right 5 we're making my nose run, my lips burn, my brow sweat and they were making me very very happy! I also had boat noodle soup which similarly transported me straight back to Bangkok, and that is not easy. I don't think any Thai restaurant in the western world had quite achieved that. Until now! read more

Great Thai food about a five-minute walk from the Chelsea Hotel! My wife and I liked it so much the first time that we went back a couple of nights later. read more

This is just a review of a pick-up order, not the restaurant itself. However, for the brief few minutes we were in there picking up our dinner, the spot was relatively quiet, so I think we'll give it a try sometime in the future. The food was delicious. I adore Pad See Ew, but I rarely get one that I really, really like. Thai on Yonge's Pad See Ew was amazing. Noodles cooked perfectly. Beef tender and flavorful. Enough greens to make it feel like you're getting your serving of vegetables for that meal. Just enough sauce for me, someone who loves their food appropriately sauced. Yum. We also ordered the spring rolls, which were crispy and tasty. My husband had Khao Ka Pao Moo Krob, which he also really enjoyed. As long as the food quality stays consistent, I think Thai on Yonge will be our go-to spot for Thai cuisine. read more

Authentic Thai, a bit hard to find near Yonge and College. It's a hidden gem for Thai food lovers...

Around the College area and wanted to try something new. Although Salad King is literally half a minute walk from Thai on Yonge, this place is another good Thai option. Friend and I went there late on a weekday around 9pm, so it was super quiet. We were pretty much the only table until some girl came into the restaurant to eat while reading. The atmosphere is authentic. They have all the Thai decor and ornaments near the entrance and bar area. Service was decent too. I ordered Khao Soi with chicken while my friend got the Street Pad Thai. Hers was not the usual pad thai with ketchup but cooked with a different sauce. My khao soi was quite good indeed. For those who don't know what this dish is, it's like crispy egg noodles in curry sauce. Their soup base was well cooked with the right amount of coconut milk, herbs, and other ingredients. The crispy noodles on top were dipped deliciously into the soup/sauce. Just beware that this dish is a little bit spicy if you can't eat spice. Also, I personally think its on par with Khao San Road's khao soi! read more

3.5 Pros: Well made dishes Friendly service Cons: Long wait for food Portions could be better I had the day off so I went downtown to take my GF for lunch. We were feeling Thai and noticed this place on the way thinking about Salad King. I'm almost certain this place used to be a Chinese restaurant but I'm not absolutely certain. Walking up the steps, there are quite a bit more seats than I thought there would be. There are plenty of seats. We're greeted by the staff and he's very pleasant and nice throughout our stay there. We're seated immediately and given the menus. There's quite a bit to choose from. There's also a lunch special menu with about 7-8 entrees for $7.95. Everything on the lunch special comes with a soup and spring roll. My GF ordered the green curry from the lunch menu and I got the Pad Kee Mong from the regular menu. The free soup and spring roll come out pretty quickly. My GF had the soup and we split the spring roll. She says the soup is pretty good. The spring roll was nice and crispy. It takes about 25 minutes for my dish to come out and then another 10 minutes more for my GF's curry to come. If you're here casually, it's no biggie, but when you're on a lunch hour, it's very ideal. By the time my GF got her curry, she had 10 minutes to eat before she had to rush back to work. We were a bit unlucky because we got there just after 3 other tables had sat down. This probably contributed more to the wait time than anything. The dishes themselves were very good though. Previous reviews all rave about the authenticity. I have no idea what real authentic Thai tastes like, but these dishes were definitely very good and had a unique flavour. I was very impressed. I wished the portions could of been better. My GF is not the biggest eater so when she wanted bigger portions, you know they could of been better. All in all, a very good Thai place to try. I would definitely recommend this place if you got plenty of time to spare. Going during lunch hour can be risky as if they're busy, you might spend most of your lunch hour just waiting. The service was spectacular as well. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant despite the reviews. The ambiance is quite nice, with big windows facing the street. Very spacious, so it gives the restaurant a more relaxed feel. The service is also remarkable. I ordered the 1st chef recommendation, a tasty Thai milk tea and a Singha beer. Thumbs up for the quick service and the food quality. read more

Thai On Yonge - Chef's recommendation #1 - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My first time coming here. It always seemed kind of sketchy walking by their hand written sign on Yonge St, but a co-worker had recommended this spot. The restaurant is located upstairs, on top of the souvenir store and moneymart. We ordered off their lunch special menu - $7.95 for a main dish, a springroll and soup. I had noodles the previous day, so I ordered a rice dish with spicy beef. It was really tasty. I didn't have to add any hot sauce to favour it. I'm normally not a white rice fan, so I would order fried rice or something else next time. I didn't expect to like this place, I would definitely try it again. read more

My fiancé and I went to try out Thai On Yonge. It's on the second floor so most people would probably dismiss it due to it's location. It used to be a Chinese dim sum restaurant. The owners are definitely Thai and very friendly, which was a great sign that they serve authentic Thai food. My fiancé and I ordered their street pad Thai (made with tamarind sauce and not ketchup!), and spicy beef salad. My street pad Thai came with a choice of coconut soup or hot and sour soup with spring rolls. I opted for the coconut soup and it was one of the best coconut soups I've had. The soup had a nice tang of lime, some slices of chicken breast and a couple mushrooms. The spring roll on the other hand was mediocre. The pad Thai was very good but I wished it was spicier, or else it would've been awesome. We realized after that there's spice levels on the menu, next time we'll tell them, but they ought to ask you when you're ordering. My fiancé's spicy beef salad was quite tasty and fresh. He loved his plate of salad tho he missed the heat as well. Overall, the decor of the place definitely needs an upgrade, but the service and food were very good so I can dismiss the decor. We will be back for sure! read more

Omg most amazing Thai food I've had in a looong time! Everything we had was delicious. The skewers were juicy and the peanut sauce provided was amazing. We also had the papaya salad with 2 peppers and even then it was very spicy (our mouths were on fire lol). The green curry was soo good, and can't be beat for the price. Same thing goes for the street pad Thai, it was just so tasty. It was so good we returned for a meal the next evening lol. Bonus points for very authentic mango sticky rice! Delicious, cheap, and located downtown. Definitely a 5-star place! read more

We were so pleased with Thai On Yonge. The room upstairs is comfy and welcoming. The service was very very good and they made sure we left satisfied. The food was delicious and the servings were nice and hearty. Loved the flavors and the love that went into our food. Especially loved the basil chicken. And the pad Thai was scrumptious. Wish we were spending more time in Toronto as we would return. Such a nice surprise. read more

Thai On Yonge - Pad Thai with chicken - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great spot for casual thai. Not a place if you're in a hurry, but a great place if you're interested in good thai food. After a long day at a client, we ended up here for a quick casual bite on a Tuesday night. It wasn't fast, but we had time and it did satisfy the thai craving I had. The Tom Kha Gai was a hit for me, and my Panang curry was thick and flavourful, emptied the bowl. It is less fancy than other places like Pai, and less crowded feel than Salad King. Overall it does put this place on my "To do again" list when Im that side of Queen. read more

The food was pretty bland I had the street pad Thai service was a bit slow as previous posters have already mentioned . The Thai green tea was ok but the shrimp rolls and the pad Thai was nothing to rave about. There was no flavor and adding lots of hot sauce didn't help With the flavor at all. read more

The waitress was very nice and quick. It seemed she was the only one working, but she was efficient. The food was really good and also the Thai iced tea and the mango sticky rice. The prices are also reasonable. The atmosphere of the place is really nice plus I enjoyed the music choices. We were seated at this cute little corner surrounded by windows, a cute view at night for a date:) read more

This is a small hidden gem, the servers are so sweet here! My friends and I in our 4th year at Ryerson would always come here to hangout and grab lunch or dinner together. There was always room for us, and their pad thai is AMAZING! I always get the veggie pad thai with tofu (their tofu is SO crispy it's so good - I definitely recommend). Pricing is pretty average as well. We actually miss coming here, but once the virus gets better we'll definitely be coming back for more!!! read more

A fairly nice place to hang out and catch up with friends. The place was clean and nearly empty when we arrived at the shop. We got our food within fifteen minutes of ordering and all of them tasted great for the price they were offered at. Service was great. We spent around three hours chatting there without any interruptions. read more

Whenever I am in Toronto visiting friends, I always end up at Salad King, since it's such a fast, convenient, and tasty option. But, in Toronto recently for the St. Patrick's Day Parade, I decided to try a new Thai place. Thai on Yonge was passable, but I think I'll be sticking with Salad King or trying a different place next time. The restaurant is on the second floor, and we walked right by it at one point (we needed to look up to see the sign!). Once inside we waited a moment to be greeted by the only waitress, an older woman who did not smile once during our dinner. She seated us quickly and came back for our entire order in about five minutes. It was a Sunday night so the restaurant was not crowded, but service was spotty since the waitress was the only one working the floor. And, instead of using a tray to carry meals and drinks, she used a little cart which slowed down proceedings. A couple near us constantly tried to get her attention by just standing up and staring at her. The food was adequate. The portions were small and the flavor was just okay. I ordered the green curry with chicken, which is my go-to meal at Thai places. It was not spicy at all, and the veggies were minimal. My brother ordered the Ginger Chicken. I tried a bite of his and while tasty, it still didn't pack enough flavor for a good Thai dish. Overall, a quick meal but not amazing, with weird service. I'll probably not be back in the future. read more

Loved the Lemongrass Soup. Asked for extra spicy and man... did they deliver! It was piping hot and had a good portion of shrimp in there - which a lot of places cheap out on. Went at 3:30 and it was really quiet with one waitress. read more

Having a major thai craving, we came here since it was right near our hotel. On a Monday night there was only one other party there, sort of strange for downtown, but we continued to sit down. Our server was very sterile, and kind of grumpy. No small talk, no smiles, no friendly banter. She was cold.. Thus only 4 stars. Good thing the food was amazing, because she would have ruined the entire experience with her attitude. We ordered spring rolls, green curry, and pad si ew. All the food was amazing! The flavours were perfect, and the spice level was perfect. read more

I chose to go here around the Christmas season to avoid the line at Salad King (since the last time i went there, their pad thai was sloppy and mushy). We were greeted and since not many tables were taken, we sat by the window to people watch. The server and cook were definitely thai. We got a pitcher of Sapporo to start and ordered pad thai and green curry. Both had good spice, and an authentic thai taste of specific spices (ie. no ketchup lol) I asked for medium spice on the green curry and it came out nice and hot. My friend said he really enjoyed the pad thai and it was one of the better ones he's had. Definitely no Khao San Rd but it was pretty good for dt thai. The portions were huge and full of ingredients, we couldn't finish the curry and rice. All in all I would go back when I'm downtown and craving some coconut milk and fish sauce :) read more

Amazing food, love their curries (espcially their panang and red curry) & their noodles as well. Service can be slow sometimes but the staff is very polite and very accommodating. Ambience is really nice too, not loud & uncomfortable like other places on the strip. read more

Dropped by Thai on Yonge as per my friend's recommendation and I was not disappointed. I've visited this place when it was a Chinese restaurant and was surprised that Thai on Yonge kept the same decor (added some Thai touches). The owners are from Thailand which definitely made me more confident with the food and boy was I not disappointed! I ordered the chicken, shrimp & tofu pad thai and it tasted very similar to what I had in Koh Samui and Bangkok. The dish was a little heavier on the fish sauce but delicious nonetheless. Don't be deterred by the design of the place. It's a hidden gem with their lower prices and tastier food! read more

I came here for the first time. The place is nice organized many different kind of food. We ordered the lunch special which I would not suggest ad it is mainly rise and vegetables with some meat. The server was somehow unique it was this old lady who kept stating we are real Thai food all other places around us are not they are owned by Chinese guys and stuff. She seem to have law temper and my friend found it very rude. They offered free soup and spring roll which was very nice and good taste. read more

When I am in this area, I'm usually eating at either Kaiju or Banh Mi Boys, but since I was with a rather picky friend this specific day who wanted soup, we came here. It was about 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon, the place was basically empty except for one other table. This worked in our favour though, as we were given the chance to sit anywhere. They suggested the window table for the four of us. You see, Thai On Yonge is located one floor above ground level, so a window seat along Yonge Street is pretty cool. Imagine my surprise when those weren't the tables they had in mind for us, there's one more table, tucked in the corner, with two sets of windows, one facing Yonge Street and the other facing Walton Street. Nothing much goes on on Walton Street, but if you enjoy your people-watching while you enjoy your meal (like me), then this is the table to you want. They were still offering their lunch special at 2:30pm, so we each ordered one. The lunch special comes with a soup, a spring roll and a main dish, all for $7.99, pretty good deal, right? One of the people at the table was a vegetarian and we wanted to ensure that while he may have ordered a vegetarian main dish, that his soup would also be vegetarian, but our server didn't seem to comprehend English very well, she got very defensive immediately, telling us there is only one soup available for the lunch special and you can't change anything for the special. Ordering became extremely stressful as it was almost like an argument. Were we hangry? Possibly, but I don't think that was an unreasonable request. The vegetarian meal did come with a vegetarian soup, but food wasn't anything spectacular, it was pretty standard, yet you can't really argue with how much this meal cost. I don't believe it would get a return visit out of me though. read more

Came here for lunch and I ordered the beef Pad Woon Sen (stir fry glass noodle). The lunch combo came with lemongrass soup and fried spring roll. Everything was yummy.

Came in for Thai Sunday brunch, with a huge craving for Tom Yam. The lady serving us was very friendly, quick and efficient. They offered us warm water instead of the usual ice cold glass, which was very thoughtful since it is -30 outside. We got a complimentary spring roll which was great. We ordered Tom Yam, dumpling soup and Street Pad Tai and was definitely satisfied with everything. Will definitely be back for more Thai food cravings. read more

My first review! Honestly, this was one of my favourite restaurants when I discovered it a couple years back and will always be one my favourites. The place is about 10 min walking away from Eaton Centre and pretty hidden away, so it does take some time to find. The restaurant itself doesn't seem that great overall either when you first go in, but the food itself is absolutely amazing, especially for the price! read more

The food was ok but the service was slow and rude. I never understand when management is rude to the customers. After paying and waiting a half hour for my food, it finally three orders came out. Asked for the person to pass me my order, no need to have to wait for customers that came in after me to pay. She wouldn't give me my order. The rude woman was the manager. Instead of saying sure and passing me the order, she decided that she was going to look after the male customers that came in after me. She wanted to teach me a lesson. However the lesson is you might have won the battle, and thought you looked a big shot. Sarcastically said "have a nice evening". The manager created a very bad vibe in the restaurant, lost a loyal customer. She was in the back and didn't even know what was going on at the front of the house. read more

My friend and I went one day for lunch. We were just passing by and it looked really cool. Its on the second floor and a very large space. The lunch special was a great deal of a spring roll, soup, and choices from the noodle and rice dishes. The food is incredible and the lunch prices are amazing. Our server was very helpful and enthusiastic about the food. It was nice to see. The only thing I would have to say negatively is that the ambiance could use a little work. They have this huge beautiful window looking out onto Yonge St but nothing to dress it. The tables and chairs are perfect for a traditional Thai restaurant but there is hardly any wall art. The lighting wasn't bad, but I feel like if they put a little effort into the atmosphere then they would have a great chance of turning the place into an after work hours hot spot. Because they are on the second floor they need a little more embellishments on the outside of the building or through the windows. The food is amazing. This place has a lot of potential. read more

Food was oily but tasty, although a bit too heavy for my liking. Service is altogether another story. I get it that they are a family run restaurant and I wasn't expecting McDonald's speed. However we sat down for a full 15min before waitress came around, because she was busy chatting! Not serving!!! The whole restaurant had 10 customers total! After we finally ordered we wanted to add a drink. Had no luck flying down the waitress again (I swear she just pretended not to see us), we walked up to the counter and she actually got annoyed at us. This level of customer appreciation is appalling. Out of principle I will not be coming back. read more

Golden Curry was amazing. One of the best curry i ever ate. However everything else especially the pad thai was the worst dish i ever ate. It was so bad i couldn't give the place a two star, which is unfortunate because the golden curry was pretty good. We got other food too but it was also really bad. i don't remember what we got because it was about a year ago. I just remembered and came back to write a review because I was really unhappy I paid a relatively high cost for such low tier food. Dont fall for places just because they have a lot of stars. This is the first time i was deceived by yelp. Very disappointed. read more
