We got the Lapp salad, beef pad Thai and chicken khao soi. Everything was so tasty and flavourful. My favourite was the khao soi with a lot of sauce that I can take home and have with rice.

Noodles came out piping hot, perfectly chewy and with a generous amount of huge pieces of chicken. The pad see mao was so fragrant with the basil leaf. Both had thick crunchy vegetables to contrast the chewy noodle. The beef was nice and tender. Who doesnt love a good crispy chicken skin?! For $6, we got a huge portion of chicken skin, we almost couldnt believe it. Thought they brought out the next size up by mistake. It came with a pickled cucumber vinegary sauce that was delicious when used to soak the white rice that came with the pad gra prow (which was super spicy thanks to the heavy use of Thai chill). The chicken nuggets were okay, wish they were less dense. The pineapple fried rice had notes of curry, lots of cashew and the juiciest chunks of pineapple. Great service despite the server spilling fish sauce on my arms and pants. But overall would visit again.

The noodles were cooked perfectly so soft and a nice chew, the beef was cooked perfectly and you mix their chilli sauce with it, the taste is divine. The ambiance looked very elegant, the waitress was very friendly, and the paad kee mao was probably the best paad kee mao i ever tasted even I would say better than khao san rao. The portion size is huge, me and wife shared, I ordered it medium which had a fair bit of spice to it. If you mix it with the chilli sauce they give you, the taste is out of this world. I would love to come here again and try their other wonderful dishes.

Mengrai Thai presents as a spirited sanctuary of authentic Siamese cuisine, delivering genuine…read moreflavors with unflinching commitment to traditional preparations. This establishment earns its reputation through culinary integrity rather than theatrical affectation. The menu traverses classical Thai canon with competence: pad thai demonstrates properly balanced acid and umami; curries showcase the judicious use of coconut's richness without dominating aromatic profiles. Tom yum broths achieve that essential complexity--simultaneously bright and profound--that distinguishes accomplished Thai preparation from mediocre approximations. The establishment's strength lies in its restraint: each component maintains distinct identity rather than collapsing into undifferentiated fusion. Proteins arrive properly cooked, vegetables retain textural dignity, and sauces complement rather than overwhelm. The kitchen demonstrates technical proficiency across a broad spectrum of preparations. The dining environment embraces modest authenticity--unpretentious décor, efficient service rhythm, and lack of pretension create an honest framework for food-centric appreciation. The pricing reflects democratic accessibility without compromising ingredient quality or preparation care.

4.5 rounding down to 4…read more I found myself in the Leaside neighbourhood recently and met a friend to have lunch here. Having been around the area before, I was a little unsure what to expect with the parking situation. My friend assured me they have a private parking lot, if not too large. When I pulled in around noon on a Wednesday, I found most of the spaces available. Great start! I was struck by the decor as soon as I walked up to the entrance. I could see that it had initially been designed and executed with care; however, there are signs of half hearted reno and maintenance throughout, which is the main reason I've downgraded to a 4. As soon as I came into the restaurant proper, I was politely greeted by the service staff, and advised to take my pick of tables. I decided on a window booth, close to the back and the coat rack, away from the noisier front end. I let her know it would be 2 and she promptly returned with glasses and water, and menus. They have a lunch special menu, with all meals under $20 (unless adding on shrimp for some selections.) They include a spring roll, and a good choice of extras (either soup, or additional ingredients for the base.) I was drawn to both the coconut green curry and the noodle bowl, but chose the noodle bowl since it was a cold day. I went with tom yum broth, and added wontons for my included extra. The soup and the spring roll arrived piping hot and tasty. The soup had a good amount of vegetables to complement all the starchy noodles and wontons. The spice level wasn't at all overwhelming, although our server took care to point out that it is a spicy broth. It took me a good while to get through the huge, packed bowl. I could taste the sugar and likely msg, but it was thoroughly enjoyable. The restrooms are a little tricky to get to and tight, with 1 of the 2 ladies' stalls out of order. Still, you could tell it was originally quite pretty, and the little touches like fancy soap and air freshener carry it. The service was impeccable. Our ever polite server made several visits to our table throughout our meal, unobtrusively refilling our glasses of water and checking whether we required anything else. I would not hesitate to return for another meal here when back in Leaside.

I expected that it was an old rundown style Hong Kong cafe or congee establishment. Boy was I wrong. Upon entering I was greeted with an impeccably designed interior. I'm glad I tried this spot. On my first visit I ordered a chicken and duck congee. For $9.75. The portion was humongous. I immediately came back the very next day with my family and ordered 1. Singapore fried vermicelli 2. Fried turnip patties 3. Sirloin beef All the food on these 2 visits were amazing as you would expect from a congee shop. They also have an extensive menu with an abundance of choices. What caught my eye were their lobster combos. The price is amazing for these challenging economic times. We will definitely be back to try some of these offerings I recommend coming here as my 2 experiences were fantastic.

Finally trying this place…read more We went early so there was no lineup. The restaurant is clean and of a good size. We had the before 5pm early special which includes a drink. It really is the full dish at an extra $2 price for the drink. The food came quickly. Chicken Rice Noodle: Had a good wok hay flavour on noodle however, it was lacking a bit on the flavour side. The chicken texture was a little weird. Salt and pepper Squid - needed salt. Nothing special. Beef and veggies rice noodle was bland. Needed more sauce. Overall - food was lacking in flavour and more salt. The drinks were good. Received bean dessert at the end of the meal.

Inexpensive. Fantastic allergy/intolerance/diet menu (GF, Vegan, Veg, etc). Delicious…read more I had food delivered, so I can't speak to the dining experience. Right off the start, I was impressed with how GF meals were clearly marked, but more so that vegan options were available. My mother has an intolerance to fish/shell fish, so it's always been a hit or miss with Thai food whether she'll develop a migraine after, even if the restaurant is informed. No worries this time, and she didn't have a reaction. The food itself was delicious (Peanut Chicken, Grilled Beef, and a vegan dish that escapes me), and comparatively inexpensive to other Thai on the Danforth delivery options. I was impressed with how the food let the ingredients speak for themselves, rather than the sauces overwhelming every aspect. Very impressed with the Peanut Chicken, as I try this dish anytime it is offered by a restaurant. Bamboo shoots were cooked to perfection - delicate and soft, not tough and fibrous. The peanut sauce itself let the peanuts do the talking (rather than being overpowered by other ingredients), and the spice was gentle on the palette. The presentation and containers weren't as upscale as some others, but quite frankly when I'm paying less for the same amount of delicious food, I couldn't care less. Will definitely be ordering again.
