I have been to this noodles place twice this year. The restaurant has a cozy and casual vibe. The…read morestaff were nice there. I went during the summer, and there was no air conditioning so it was pretty hot inside. However, the food was amazing. For the beef noodles, the meat was tender. The soup is rich and authentic, with the perfect balance of spice; however the portion was a bit small. I also tried the fried dumplings, it's flavorful, but the skin was a bit thick. The Thai tea was average, a little bit too sweet for me. Overall, I still like this restaurant, and will definitely come back again.

Yet another restaurant on my list I can finally check off. A cozy spot for casual dining, you feel…read morelike you've transported yourself to Thailand. The menu is small and of course their specialty is boat noodle soup. I like that you can choose from 3 types of noodles: wonton, rice noodle, or the thin rice vermicelli kind. You can also choose your protein: pork, beef, or braised beef. The broth was delicious! I didn't even have to add any of the condiments which was as traditional as it gets, arriving at the table in a plastic holder with chilli oil, fish sauce, sugar, etc. There are 2 sizes, small ($15) and medium ($20). My eyes are always bigger than my stomach and I struggled to finish the medium. The small would've been just right. Service with a smile.

Guys WHY doesn't this place have more reviews??! Not only is the store itself an absolute goldmine…read morefor super niche Thai products but dude the gelato flavors are insane! If you like unique & Asian flavors you'll LOVE their selection. I'm talking Thai iced tea, Thai GREEN TEA (rare flavor unlocked asf, ifykyk), Milo, mango sticky rice, coconut pandan etc. like where else can you find all of these flavors under one roof? I also like that it's gelato so it doesn't feel too heavy & the texture is really nice. They also do Thai tea floats & sell warm snacks, but I didn't get to take much of a look at those since I came right before closing. Overall 10/10 hidden gem that deserves way more recognition than it has on Yelp.

P4 Pad Gra Prow - The best dish! We chose mild spicy, which wasn't spicy at all. P5 Khao Soi - Golden noodles, very delicious, the coconut milk flavor permeated the noodles, and the meat was quite tender. P6 Pad See Ew - It tasted like wide rice noodles, delicious! We chose beef and extra shrimp. P7 Coconut Sorbet - Coconut milk ice cream, not bad, a little too sweet, and had a little bit of coconut meat. Mango Sticky Rice - The mango sticky rice was average, nothing particularly delicious. P8 Thai Iced Tea - A little sweet and a little too sweet. Fresh Coconut Water - Very refreshing and fresh coconut water. Compared to other Thai restaurants in Toronto, this one was the best!

The top rated Thai restaurant and the Michelin stars is well deserved!…read more The wait can be long! For 2 people it was 30-40 min wait, not including waiting in line to sign in. Do not take reservations for small groups. Ordered Spring Rolls, Pad See Ew, and Pad Thai. All dishes were really good. Spring rolls had more mushroom taste, but lightly fried. Pad See Ew had great flavor, not too oily or salty, and had great quality of beef. Chicken pad Thai had balances sweet, sour, and savory notes. Portions were generous, but expect to pay over $25 per plate. Mango Sticky rice good not great, since mango was super ripe to add sweetness. Plenty of coconut "sauce" to flavor the rice. Spring Rolls 4/5 Pad See Ew 5/5 Pad Thai 5/5 Mango Sticky Rice 4/5

We ordered 2 cocktails to start with the tapioca dumplings and green papaya fritters. The drinks came out immediately. I had the Tincture Perfect, which was outstanding. It was the perfect mix of sweet, sour, floral and bitter. I loved it! My husband had the Unit 75 which he really enjoyed. The grapfruit bitters rounded out the sweetness of the Chambord and the sourness of the lemon. We decided to order another cocktail each just as our food arrived. I had the I Have a Lychee Secret. It was a little on the sweet side, but was very yummy. I loved the black pepper on top but didn't really taste much cilantro. My husband had La Passionista which was great. It was so well-balanced and flavourful. The dumplings were AMAZING! The butterly pea infused tapioca gave the perfect bouncy, chewy texture to the outside and the mushroom and radish centres were so tasty. Our waitress explained that they should be eaten in a lettuce cup with cilantro, mint and peanuts. YUM! Such a flavour bomb. The only thing I would have changed would be to add some sort of a spicy, salty, sour dipping sauce like a nuoc cham. The green papaya fritters were also just fantastic. They were crispy, crunchy and the dipping sauce was a little spicy and sweet. All in all, we really enjoyed our meal and would 100% return. I have already reccomended them to others.

Si Lom Thai Bistro demonstrates a sincere commitment to authentic Thai culinary expression--a…read morerestaurant positioning itself as an upscale encounter with regional cuisine executed with evident technical knowledge. Service personnel, many with genuine Thai heritage, execute their roles with palpable passion for the menu's cultural context. The kitchen approaches classical Thai flavor constructions with respect, evident in the balance of fundamental taste components--the interplay of spice, acid, and umami articulation. Signature preparations achieve notable authenticity, with ingredients selected for both quality and cultural accuracy. The soft shell crab pad Thai exemplifies the kitchen's willingness to honor tradition while exploring thoughtful variation. The dining environment presents an aesthetically refined space, though observations regarding atmospheric density suggest opportunities for enhanced comfort optimization. The pricing structure reflects aspirational positioning within Toronto's Thai dining landscape--a consideration worth acknowledging when evaluating value proposition relative to alternative establishments. The establishment's restrictive approach to dietary accommodation--particularly regarding plant-based protein substitution in curry preparations--represents a notable limitation for certain guest profiles, warranting consideration in advance planning. Si Lom Thai Bistro offers a competent, earnest interpretation of Thai cuisine, executed by personnel who understand and respect the tradition. The experience appeals to those seeking sophisticated Thai dining executed with cultural literacy, though contextual factors merit thoughtful consideration.

Highly recommend these dishes for your next trip to Koh Lipe!

I eat pad Thai in every city I visit and this may be the best yet since I first had pad Thai in college many many years ago. Been chasing that epic pad Thai for years and think I finally found it. Amazing depth of flavor. Partner got the Islamic noodles, which he thought were excellent as well, rich flavor and very well made. Would happily eat again. The only issue I had which made me knock off a star is that the glass and silverware had an odd scent, like the smell your glasses have if there's food stuck in your dishwasher filter -- if you know that scent you know what I mean. Just smelled funky and honestly the smell was ruining the taste (smell and taste are so closely linked) so I drank out of my own water bottle I had brought and grabbed a plastic fork to eat with which did solve the issue but still...less than ideal

The only con was that the washrooms were downstairs so you have to walk out the building to access it again. Our server was super friendly and helped us choose the right items from the menu. We ordered the som tum tod which were hesitant to order coz we don't like papaya but it turned out to be the best dish that night. So so flavourful and very satisfying! We also ordered the pork jowl, minced chicken and garlic chicken with rice and everything was very well done. The mango sticky rice was however not upto the mark coz the mangoes were tart but they did warn us beforehand and we wanted to take that risk. Overall a great dinner at a Michelin recommended place.

Will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Service was very friendly. Normally this would be a 5-star review, but there were a few things that stopped that... the dining room is just way too bright, I prefer more comfortable, lower lit environments to elevate the overall experience. We ordered an appetizer, which came out first, but then they didn't give us the time to finish it. The main dishes came out right after, so we were rushed. Lastly, there were some items on the dinner menu we wanted to try, but they refused, only brunch items were available. Food portions were good, but could have been bigger. Ignoring all of that, the food is amazing. If you're into Thai food, this place is a must.

As for the food: the Pad Thai was okay, but the Khao Soi was a letdown for me. It felt a little watered down and missed that creamy coconut depth and umami punch I like from a khao soi.

Service: Service was friendly but a tad slow. They were quite busy though, so it was understandable. Our server was busy running around the entire time we were there. TL;DR - good food and reasonably slower service when busy.

Finally got to visit Khao San Road!!…read more I liked the ambiance of this place, as it was nice and cozy! The service was fast and friendly as well. I ordered the Khao Soi and we also tried the Bangkok Style Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. All the dishes quantity was alot. From the pictures online, it looked like it would not be filling, but it was just right. All the main dishes were $21.75. The Khao Soi was super creamy and you can choose your protein and spice level! They didn't skimp out on the protein, the bowl was loaded. It was so creamy that it became alittle too rich for me at the end. I think if I visit next time, I would opt to try another dish. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place with decent pricing, quantity, and friendly service!
