Reviews
I ordered two portions of pad Thai, one spicy and one mild. Both are tasteless, inedible. No egg, no green onion, no peanuts, no salted radish. No flavour. There is more flavour from a packet of instant noodles.
Ordered Uber delivery today.. and it was OK. The Panang curry was super sweet.. sweeter than usual compared to most I’ve tried, and it had lots of potatoes which to me is not traditional. I chose calamari for my protein with my curry and the calamari didn’t taste that fresh, extremely dried out. Spring rolls were good, and the hot and sour soup was good, lots of veggies.
Tom Yum soup is sweet sour and spicy. So good! They also have Tom Yum fried rice 👌
Food was ok, service was great, probably wont visit again probably.
The best place to eat Thai food! Really delicious!! Love this place
I love the variety of fresh ingredients at this Subway location. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the sandwiches are always made to my liking. It's my go-to spot for a quick and tasty meal!
2023.11.10 Chicken Pad Thai which comes with bean sprouts, eggs and tofu is just very sweet with no salty and no sour flavours; the rice noodles are soggy from too much sauce. It could be called soupy since several tablespoons of the sauce are parts of the dish.
They’re charging extra for crispy onions in store orders, while on the app it’s for free even you want extra crispy onions… upon asking why they are charging, they don’t have any proper, reasonable answer… taste of the items also keeps changing every time
Friendly service, clean and modern looking restaurant, food however, was somewhat bland and lacking strong flavor. Thai taste simply not present in the dish.
New favourite Vietnamese restaurant! My bun bo hue was delicious, super hot and flavourful. Great portion for a great price. Really nice service as well! Food came out so fast but everything was so fresh.
The Ultimate Betrayal
I'm just an average Joe caught up in the Toronto rat race who works hard, pays his taxes, and does his best to not let the weight of the world's problems crush his soul.
I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't do drugs: My vice is Thai Express's Basil Fried Rice - 3X spicy (BFR3X). As such, I can frequently be found patronizing the Yonge & Davisville location where they have a Top Chef that spices things to perfection. If my review ended here, this would be a 5 star review.
Today I was in a particularly chipper mood and decided to pay this location a visit to end off my week right: BFR3X made to order by my favorite Top Chef. Unfortunately, things soon took an unexpected and dark turn. I was informed that the location's manager was on site that day and it was against corporate policy to do anything higher than 1X spice. Panic set in, but despite my desperate pleas, this manager would not waiver from her authoritarian ways. I soon found myself back on the street with BFR1X, and an overwhelming sense of emptiness that no amount of BFR1X could ever fill.
It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous! My faith in humanity has been shaken to its very core and I now question whether I shall ever be able to taste from the Garden of Edan, that which I had briefly experienced at the Yonge & Davisville location thanks to my dear Top Chef.

We have been supporting this adorable family run and owned restaurant for years!! They’re so nice! We get the dinner for two every Friday from them :) the chicken balls are massive and delicious, the wings are so crispy and the chop suey is so fresh. Also love the rice, corn soup and crispy beef. Will always support them!
Went for dinner for our first night in Toronto and we were not disappointed.
We had a goats cheese salad. It's done differently to what you'd get in France, but was really really good. The vinaigrette was somehow really light and tasty.
We had the steak and chicken main courses, which were also very good, followed by an amazing Tarte Tatin for desert.
You can get some wine by 0.5 l , which is really great for 2 people.
We were recommended a red wine which we loved.

Good price and tax included.
Pho - tastes clean and refreshing, but broth could be a tiny bit richer.
Shrimp rolls - called salad rolls on the menu. Good value, but no crunch. Could use some sprouts or more mint or basil.
Bahn mi - crispy bread, good value
A small ma and pa shop with a homey atmosphere. But condiments should be refilled more often, and water should be given without asking.
They have a variety of homemade desserts you can take home as well.

The quality of sushi is amazing, with thick-cut sashimi pieces. The service was above and beyond, cashier lady was very sweet and nice, offering us candies while waiting and added more food to what we ordered. Five star and highly recommended!
I don’t really do google review. But This review is for the lady standing behind the cash. No smile, no greeting, all I got was bad experiences. I do understand English is not her first language, but if you want to work and make money, you should understand your customers’ needs. Using your finger to point the food on the menu is not a great customer service. And when you don’t understand, please say something, not just looking at your customers. I don’t know how your company does training. I couldn’t understand. BTW, I visited this location 3 times, she never understood what I was talking about, and not even a smile, just miserable looking.
DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING HERE. RUN!

Ordered the vegetable curry pad Thai and it was delicious 😋 large portion and filled with lots of vegetables. It was flavorful and not too spicy either. Would recommend it! Can't wait to try other dishes!
Very tasty food, good portion of chicken in dishes. Good service. Will definitely go back.
Très jolie découverte. Nous avons commencé par leur spring rolls, un vrai délice, hyper croustillants. Puis on a testé le pad thai classic et le curry pad thai, les deux en végétarien, c'était très bon, les portions sont généreuses. Leurs cocktails sont pas mal aussi. Le restaurant est chic mais convivial, déco sympa avec des vraies plantes (je déteste les plantes artificielles). Je recommande!
Great restaurant for French cuisine. Wasn't very busy at all on a weeknight. They have pretty good pasta and steak, and have many options for mussels. The atmosphere & decor almost remind me of an 1800s escape room.
This is our go to spot for take out Chinese cuisine it always tastes fresh, and arrives quickly when we order it. We have never had a problem with our order and the portions are great, you'll definitely have leftovers!
Everything you cold ask for in terms of Chinese takeout. The have meal options for families and single combos. 💮

This was the best spicy & sour soup I've had so far in Toronto!
Super tasty ingredients and the portion size is great for the price. Good value for money.

Never leave reviews but damn this was the best poke bowl Ive had in toronto. Get the Cali bowl. Big portions, super good and fresh, very fast too. And the workers are so sweet and kind.
Staff is really nice and portions are great. If you are into american chinese food then this place is the go to
Really disappointed with the food. I ordered orange chicken, General Tao chicken and Shanghai noodles.
The noodles was atleast eatable but the two chicken dishes were really bad. We couldn’t even finish the meal because it was making my stomach ache. When we checked the chicken it was just a ball of pooped up dough; with barely any chicken in it. Really not sure if they ran out of chicken while cooking but decided to go ahead anyway or changed cooks or something but this felt like a real rip off; we paid for nothing

We ate here for a late night snack. Ordered the chicken yellow curry and mango sticky rice. Their curry was good, although I wish the dish had more chicken portions. Their mango sticky rice isn't the usual sticky rice you see where the rice is white and the mango is served separately. It's all mixed together and had cashew nut toppings.
Wow
I absolutely loved the ambiance of this establishment. It's very elegant and classy inside. There are multiple different types of seating available inside, as well as an umbrella and and outdoor patio area for two outside the restaurant.
The server I had was an absolute sweetheart. Thank you so much for your service today!🙏
🌟Friendly Thai Appetizer Plate
🌟Beef Pad See-Ew
🌟Pineapple Fried Rice
The Appetizer plate was a generous portion and included both hot and cold spring rolls, calamari, shrimp satay and mango salad. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. The shrimps were a nice size too.
I'm a HUGE noodle lover; the thicker the better. The pad See-Ew was flavorful and full of perfectly cooked noodles to satisfy my craving.
I was expecting the pineapple friend rice to come in a pineapple.🍍 While it did not, it was still plated beautifully. The pineapple hunks in this dish were enormous. They use real pineapple here, none of that canned stuff. The shrimps were seasoned well and plentiful.
I was impressed with every dish I tried. If you're looking for a well priced, delicious Thai meal DO check out The Friendly Thai!

Food was good, although delayed. Reasonably priced too
Came here around dinner for takeout. The cashier/chef was very polite, and welcoming. There’s no actual seating so there’s only take out options. We Ordered a
-Aloha bowl *poke bowl* (7/10)
Portion is plentiful including protein, really liked the seaweed salad, just the crab was shredded instead of sliced, and spicy mayo was more on the spicy side compared to mayo.
-Sushi B (7.5/10) came with 5 piece nigiri; one piece was slightly fishy which was white tuna. Upgraded my salmon roll to a spicy salmon roll for $1. Also was pleased to see they added a uni/tobiko roll to my order. Miso was good, just missing tofu.
Overall if your in the area and looking for a quick sushi bite. This would be a spot.

Do the employees know what toppings are what, did a pick up order and everything is wrong, ask for green peppers ,get red onions, ask non toasted, get toasted like how hard is it to get staff that can READ AN ORDER TICKET!! Do better Subway
A mediocre Thai restaurant with rather unfriendly staffs.
I’ve ordered their Tom Yum noodle soup and my friend got the green curry, in which we were both disappointed.
For a bland Tom Yum noodle soup with chicken meats that’s hard as a rock, paying more than $22 seemed like a slight ripoff when there are other restaurants that serves better Thai noodle soup.

An Uncut Gem
It's a small bistro restaurant not far from AGO. Nothing posh or fancy, but extremely nice and friendly service and great food with more than reasonable prices.
Home-Made Pork and Chicken Liver Pâté with Gherkins was good, but another appetizer - Sautéed Escargots with Portobello mushroom in Cognac & Basil cream sauce - is simply fantastic! It's much better than standard butter & garlic recipe for escargots, that I cannot compare to any other even much more expensive restaurants in GTA.
With steamed mussels we made a mistake - we selected "Marinière" white wine sauce. The dinner size is 2 lbs of mussels, but the sauce was far from perfect. Top Sirloin steak was done perfectly medium rare as we ordered it. I mentioned that I don't eat fries and got fresh salad instead.
Crème Brûlée was above average, but Cinnamon Ice Cream was fabulous and it was a great addition to crème brulee. Americano was bold. And the service was absolutely amazing.
If you want to have a delicious feast for a very budget price, Midi Bistro is just for you!

Good food at the cozy cute restaurant. Good atmosphere, friendly and great service!! Chose Summerisious menu. It was delicious. Perfect size
The best chow mein and momo 😋 👌👌👌
Very delicious 😋

This place was great! I ordered with a group of friends so we had a pretty sizable order and it was done so quickly! The food quality and portions we’re definitely worth it too! The owner/whoever was working was so nice and gave us some extra desserts on the house; 10/10 would recommend!
The fragrant eggplant was amazing - good eggplant dishes are hard to beat in my book!, Everything else I tried was alsoreally good. Highly recommended, as long as you are happy with vegetarian - only.
Good spot for momos! We got the steamed chicken one and enjoyed it. Heads up, you'll have to wait 10-15 minutes for the meal so feel free to walk around and come back when it's ready.
Have ordered 3 times from this location. First time was good. Second time I ordered a vegan pad Thai but received something totally different. Third time my order was correct but they didn’t give me any plum sauce for the imperial roll. Definitely a hit or miss depending on when it’s busy or not. Staff doesn’t seem to work that fast when it’s busy so you do have to wait a bit.
Had lunch specials, was good
Friendly staff here, the atmosphere was nice.. there were little bugs on our table at the front window, but we are downtown and hard to regulate these things. One of those kill it and move on and enjoy meal😊
p.s.
a homeless person came in to ask for food, and I was completely impressed with the restaurant's compassion. They invited the individual in to sit, and they fed her 🥰
You got me always coming back now

Food was delicious. Great tasting broth! Owner lady was really nice. Pricing, I feel, is on the lower end. Cash only. The restaurant itself looks a bit run down tbh and cleaniness is not their forte. Food was very good that I overlooked it.
A mediocre French bistro, very quiet especially on a Saturday evening, escargot was tasty and creamy, frites were very crispy and served hot, but the lamb shank was a reheat with part of the meat totally over-cooked and dry. Prix fixe menu was very extensive, good selection of sauces for the mussels in the regular menu.
Delicious thai food. Tried the green curry, fried rice and some appetizers. This place probably has one of the best cooks out of several locations I've been to. The spice is perfect for my taste and of course Green curry was out of world. All flavours of food are top notch.
The garnishing of each dish was amazing and neatly presented. I would highly recommend this place if you really want yummy thai food and fast service.

I haven’t been back to this Friendly Thai since before COVID. Used to love it. The staff and food was always great! Now that I have eaten there a few times recently, I got to say, they have gotten better!
Their dishes that are spicy tickle the tongue just enough to dampen your periorbitals without losing flavour. The portions are almost perfect as in there is too much food! It fills me up that I sometimes don’t have room for dessert!
They have a wonderful drink selection. Menu covers all the meals you’d want from a Thai Restaurant and the Staff are great. Dine in experience is best. Vegetarian options are yummy. They will do their best to accommodate dietary restrictions but if you’re allergic to Peanuts, well you can’t eat at a Thai Restaurant!
My biggest issue with this place is that they get a lot of Uber Eats orders because their food is good. I enjoy coming here regardless.

It says close 9pm. As you can see this was taken 835pm. No where to sit. Just got off work and want to eat somewhere. If the hours is not 9pm then don’t advertise as such.
Really frustrating.
And just got the fried rice it’s wet and soggy.
It is not fried rice.

Its a small Thai restaurant in Downtown. I am a Vegetarian and not many Thai restaurants are veg friendly but this one has an amazing Vegetarian dedicated menu in addition to regular sea food & chicken/pork menu. they have great delicious exotic dishes .. I had their crispy rice with Mushrooms and vegetables and cannot forget the taste for a week. I want to go here again. I tried Mushroom skewer they were also extraordinary.. pricing wise it is very feasible 15$ per person without the drinks. I am a huge fan of this place.
It is a small sitting place but food is outstanding .. they have all the variety of food - Vegan, Sea food, Chicken, Pork etc.

ok here’s the proof that you’re looking for, i have the rights to complain as your food spoiled my dinner, i don’t care about the refund as i deserve it for having a disgusting hair on my food! my account is irvin jon and i don’t post without a proof. you have a disgusting attitude with your customers and i have more proof on door dash that the food that you sent me has a hair. goodluck with that attitude
I haven’t had a more worse experience at Thai Express before. I have ordered at other locations before and have never experienced such horrible customer service. Long story short, I ordered chicken fried rice for me to see after that person who took my order put through the order as veggie instead. I went to speak to the other cashier to see if anything can be done and he simply pointed at somebody else. I asked him if there is someone I could speak to or if he could help me to get it fixed. And he said because he didn’t take my order that he couldn’t help me. That is absolutely ridiculous. If something as this cannot be handle in a proper manner, I can’t imagine the other experiences. On top of this, the food is not what I was expected. No pineapple, but a ton of basil, carrots, broccoli and cabbage. The flavours were totally different than other locations. It’s like they’re trying to fusion the flavours and it’s not working. Honestly, save your money and go to any of the other places in the food court. This place is not worth the trouble.
This is a favourite Sunday evening haunt. Lovely decor features typical Thai imagery, very restful and serene.
The food is uniformly good, from presentation to portion size and taste.
I enjoy the soups which are served piping hot in a stoneware crock, always delicious, and very warming in bad weather. I tend to add an appetiser to round out my meal, the spring rolls and satay are delicious.
Menu offerings will appeal to all palates, with main dishes from mild to spicy, all with the layered flavours typical of this cuisine.
Many vegetarian options on offer, and the menu itself is very helpful for anyone with dietary restrictions, with icons highlighting specific ingredients.
Service is friendly and attentive
Busy take out and delivery app business for those who prefer that option
NB Facilities are located down a wide staircase, but the railing is good so it is navigable by those with mobility issues
Highly recommended

I found my experience here to be very pleasant! The food was amazing. I ordered a Cali Bowl and Pork/Beef Gyoza. The serving was large, and I could have it for two meals. There are also a good range of vegetarian options.
The service was great as well! The food came quickly, and the owner was very nice. She gave me a miso soup on the house! :)
Will definitely be returning if I'm in the area!

Wonderful place, the tom yum soup was so good , the cashew pad Thai was nice too . Great service and atmosphere! Our waitress was super nice !
I ordered Thai Fried Rice Beef Basil. I got Fried Rice Chicken, NO BASIL NO BEEF! The lady taking my order wasn’t listening and paying attention. She just wanted to take the money I guess because it was end of the day.
Tried a Vietnamese restaurant here because it's close to home, and it turns out that all the menus are delicious. 4 of us came, I ordered spice duck noodle 👍👍👍, and 3 other menus BBQ pork and chicken with rice 👍👍👍, BBQ pork buns are also delicious. the taste of the gravy is not much msg like other restaurants. What is very pleasant is the super service, it feels like eating mother's cooking at home. for sure I will come back to eat here.
The basil fried rice was as mushy as anything I’ve ever tasted, seasoning is completely off.
The cooks are extremely unfriendly.
Very silly of me to spend $16 on this.

Decent for a quick bite. Their thai green curry was good, tasted healthy. We also ordered dumplings that we liked. We tried the seafood fried rice as well but don’t recommend it, it tastes artificial. Would go back
Always made fresh and portions are really good. Great thick cuts of salmon. This is hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve come across downtown so far. This photo is missing a piece as I was impatient to eat it 😄 thank you!
Staff and owners (I think it’s family owned and run) are all friendly, and the food is pretty decent. It falls between good but isn’t great. Standout dishes I’ve had was the Almond Chicken Soo Guy and the rest are basically at the good level. It tastes much like a decent neighborhood Chinese spot. They used to have done-in but seem to have scrapped that and just do take-out, now. The only dish I had that was bad was the Shanghai Noodle. It lacked flavor and just tasted bland, but most other dishes are as described, pretty good. The prices are a bit high, but not out of the range you’ll find in Spadina. If you’re craving Chinese food it will do the trick.
This is a fantastic restaurant! Pad Thai is my favorite dish, and the spring rolls are so crispy and delicious. I also really enjoy the Thai Fire Rice. Every time I go downtown, I make sure to visit this place. Even my baby enjoys the food and the owner is incredibly friendly. They even gave some snacks for my child as a gift.
I've had everything on the menu and everything is lovely! I've been eating here for years. The pork chili with gravy is my favorite!
Highly recommended. Been going here a few years now and noticeably better lately. Try the lemon chicken! Big portions and lots of veggies.
It was okay. I had their Pad Thai chicken lunch special. They serve it with salad and soup, and spring rolls. The soup had some unprocessed parts of vegetables that shouldn't go into the soup. Pad thai noodles were flavourful, but barely any chicken in the dish.
It is a good deal overall if you are hungry; their specials are priced well.

It was quite a meal! Had a Cali Bowl with kale noodles. The tuna rolls and the poke bowls both were great. One bowl is usually 16-19 dollars with plenty of food. It’s a togo only place by the way!
The guy I bought the foot long sandwich on Feb 15, 2023, he took my money with his gloves on and went to give me the change in the cash register, he still has gloves on and when it's time to put the ingredients on my sandwich, he use the same gloves on the food which he took my money and give me change with. It is so disgusting, money is very dirty and has thousands or million of bacteria, some can be deadly. If I get food poison, I will sue this location and they can go bankrupt, so if you are the owner, tell your employees to change gloves if he collect the money and give change to customers if he is to prepare the sandwich afterwards. There were two guys working there. The other guy was at the soda, drinks stand and busy doing his thing and talking to the guy who is serving me. Either one person should collect the money and one person should prepare the sandwich.
Winterlicious 2023 is back for another season and Midi Bistro is one of those places you can count on to have a great meal anytime.
Dinner costs $45 now but is still a good deal and your money well spent mainly because of their superb food, service and ambience.
Went out with two of my friends and so we get to try different dishes:
Appetizers:
Sautéed Escargots with Portobello Mushroom - this is a rich and delectable appetizer. It's cooked in cognac and basil cream sauce and you can soak up the creamy goodness with the complimentary bread they provided you. And let me tell you they tasted silky and divine!
Pate de Campagne with Toast & Gherkins - the pate is more on the coarse and rustic type and portion is generous. Comes with a side salad and baguette.
Spicy Crab Cakes - crab cakes are really tasty and spicy. The touch of heat adds a flavourful twist to the classic crab cake. But I wish they would have given more instead of only 2 crab cakes. This is my fave out of all the 3 apps and 10/10 would order this again.
Main Dish:
Braised Lamb Shank - find it a tad dry and a bit overcooked, this is my least fave dish. There's also a pronounced gamey flavour with the lamb shanks.
8 oz Striploin Steak - perfectly cooked juicy steak paired well with the mushroom brandy sauce.
Seafood Risotto - packed with different types of seafood, they give you a huge portion of this dish and it's so flavourful in every bite.
Dessert:
Creme Brûlée - crisp shell that shattered under your spoon exposing rich and smooth layer of custard beneath with just a hint of vanilla, this is a joy to eat.
Strawberry Cheesecake - this is the star of the show. Silky smooth and creamy classic cheesecake with delightful strawberry topping tastes as amazing as it looks.
Overall we had a great dining experience and special mention to our server, Sindhu who's very nice and friendly. And even though the place was packed, she
still manages to maintain a calm composure, smiling and welcoming people in the restaurant. Truly worthy of a praise!

Spicy Crab Cakes - crab cakes are really tasty and spicy. The touch of heat adds a flavourful twist to the classic crab cake. But I wish they would have given more instead of only 2 crab cakes. This is my fave out of all the 3 apps and 10/10 would order this again.
Main Dish:
Braised Lamb Shank - find it a tad dry and a bit overcooked, this is my least fave dish. There's also a pronounced gamey flavour with the lamb shanks.
8 oz Striploin Steak - perfectly cooked juicy steak paired well with the mushroom brandy sauce.
Seafood Risotto - packed with different types of seafood, they give you a huge portion of this dish and it's so flavourful in every bite.
Dessert:
Creme Brûlée - crisp shell that shattered under your spoon exposing rich and smooth layer of custard beneath with just a hint of vanilla, this is a joy to eat.
Strawberry Cheesecake - this is the star of the show. Silky smooth and creamy classic cheesecake with delightful strawberry topping tastes as amazing as it looks.
Overall we had a great dining experience and special mention to our server, Sindhu who's very nice and friendly. And even though the place was packed, she
still manages to maintain a calm composure, smiling and welcoming people in the restaurant. Truly worthy of a praise!
Everything here is great, from the staff to the food is fantastic. Not to mention the decoration of the restaurant also gives customers a feeling like you are enjoying a meal in Thailand. This restaurant is quite suitable for couples or families.
The service was great, but the food was no so fine. I ordered the Khao Soi noodles but it was tasteless and the beef was mostly tendons and gristle. Wouldn't recommend. My friend ordered the Pad Thai and again, wouldn't recommend. I really wanted to like this place, but it didn't sparkle or even shine.
Poor food!
Clearly mentioned in the order what we need.
If you cannot make the order for what i want then do not charge for something which i dont get
Spent 20$ for 2 footlong and i am getting 2 slice of tomato
Hardly 3 spinach
And no olives and 1 piece of cucumber
Please avoid this place!!
Further update upon going to the store and advising them about the poor work
No acceptance, they blamed me that i ate the food and came back to get free food
Not only that the cashier had courage to tell me as per you review its not one cucumber its 2. Such a great observation....but the poor eyesight when its mentioned on order what to add...
Kudoos to other staff members who are doing hard work at this place under poor management.
Cashier was not wearing a badge with name, upon asking whats the name " Obviously did not share". After doing shady business, what are they afraid of...if they think customer has eaten the topping
Later advising me that he is not offering any food back or any money, obviously apology also does mot come easily from people like this.
Who in the world wants to accept if they made a mistake
No one is going to come after you but people like this needs to be confronted and told that they have not done their work so others can not get screwed like this
I hope this person gets what they deserve and hopefully they can sleep after ripping people like this.
I will definetly report this business to food and administsation and proper authorities. This is not about 20$ but about basic understanding on how to conduct business and stop ripping off people.
I would enocurage others do to the same when any business is doing any shamefule activity
The mangement about this subway was change recently and sold to new one...this is what happens.
They offered me a six inch upon showing how worst they have done but blamed customer for eating toppings ...this is what is the worst thing to do...
RIP

I have been eating at this restaurant for 35years. Same owners and same delicious proprietary soup base! (No one else has been able to replicate 😆) Hands down the best yellow noodle. We have moved all over the Greater Toronto Area and whenever we are near, we always make a stop. Small family run and 35+ years of soup making experience, it's a must try!
Ordered 3 big subway paid over 40$, all the subway had 5% sauces even though we added 3 sauces. Also, the vegetables were missing. Bad experience.
I’m a subway footlong lover but what I had today is totally unbelievable. I don’t usually put bad reviews but then this is just unacceptable. Gave this branch a try for the first time but I guess it will be my first and last. White italian bread was hard. Bought just now a foot long steak and cheese, and 2 side kicks honey mustard ham. The footlong bread was so hard and it took me about 5-7 seconds before I can have each bite because of the breath that is supposed to be soft. Maybe the bread is old or overcooked. Meat on the footlong was placed uneven because I had it cut in half and seems like the half side of the footlong that I got is that the meat that was placed was just like a usual size of 1 tablespoonful. Tasted like I ordered a footlong full of veggie than a supposed to be footlong steak and cheese. I should have just gone ordering a vegetarian option if I knew that the guy will not put enough meat. Not worth the money I spent.
I see some bad reviews here and was shocked. This is my daughter's favourite lunch place - close to her school - quick and convenient. She's a fan of cashew chicken stir fry. I gave it a go earlier this week. Delightful. So tasty. The chicken was good, ample cashews, sauce permeated into the rice below, lots of tasty perfectly cooked peppers. Couldn't finish mine - huge portions!
You didn't ask, but I'm going to tell you: I sat nearby and watched from afar on a busy Wednesday afternoon. The lunch hour had kicked off and it was packed ... everywhere. The wait time in the line was typical. Orders went in at a decent rate and people seemed to understand where to wait for their pick up and enjoy watching their lunch being made. From my perfect seat, I was able to witness the two men preparing all food. They were in sync, clarified orders, checked with customers on their level of spices and what I admired the most was the smiles between them and customers. It couldn't have been cool working in that fast pace environment back there serving food over a hot surface, to some customers that perhaps had a busy morning and short on patience and were hangry. These two men remained happy to be serving. During this 'lunch & a show', I witnessed a lunch goer dropped her container of lunch in front of their restaurant. While she attempted to do her best to clean up her lunch from the floor, staff from Thai Express were quick to get out there and clean it up. Not even convinced it was their food but they were quick to the rescue. Well done, Thai Express. 5/5!
You continue to feed my little girl and I'll be there to admire from afar the occasional Wednesday!

Small mom and pop shop. Heads up that there usually is a 10 minute wait but it is worth it. I have gotten the Tibetan Momo and Tamang Momo. Everything always comes out piping hot. 4.5/5 would recommend. Honestly you get so much for $8
I have been coming here for twenty plus years and the taste of the Bun Mi Phuc Kien stays the same. I was happy to see they only increased the price by $1 on their menu items due to the pandemic inflation unlike other restaurants who have gone up 30-50%. This hole-in-wall family little restaurant carry the traditional Phuc Kien noodle authenticity by the same owner for as long as I have known this place. 💕
The best thai express of town. I have been coming to this restaurant for so many time . The food are taste very delicious, friendly staff, fast service and clean seating area. I highly recommend to try pad Thai and pad sew and Thai soup of this restaurant.
Service was nice and friendly but food took too long to make - waited 40 mins for my dish. They said it was because they are very busy at the time but it didn’t really seem packed? They did offer me a complimentary soda for the wait which was appreciated.
I had ordered a Pad Thai with chicken and tiger shrimp. But unfortunately was underwhelmed as the shrimp did not taste like it was throughly cooked and mixed with noodles and sauce. I found it just okay and for almost $19 I had higher expectations.

I loved the food and the green container is so cute. I visited twice- had the pad thai & thai fried rice and both were delicious. The cute container looks small but actually fills up nice; it’s a good portion. If you’re eating it immediately, beware that it may be hot! I wanted to try the pandan iced tea but unfortunately both times I went it was unavailable.
Tried basil fried rice with battered chicken.
It was little bit flavourful. Just ok
It was really oily though. So much oil
No free parking
Friendly staff

I ordered
- Seafood rice noodle
- Steamed rice flour with Shrimp cake
The order was delivered on time and well-packed. Good amount for the price.
You need to use your bowl to mix themsince all containers are full. The seafood noodle has 2 Shrimps, 2 Scallops and 4 seafood balls in it. I liked the taste.
The steamed rice flour was a bit too sticky for me. The Shrimp cake was good. It has a topping of lettuce, carrot, cucumber and wheat germ.

Tonnes of Beef!!!
I stopped at this Thai Express not too long ago, while waiting for a medical appointment nearby. It was just before lunchtime so it was not busy at all. I hadn't eaten at a Thai Express in years so I was very curious as to how the food would taste. I had never been disappointed with the food previously so I knew it couldn't be that bad. As a veteran of a million Pad Thais from around the world, I was looking for something different. I decided to try the Pad See Ew which comes with large rice noodles, egg and Chinese broccoli. I decided on beef as my protein. Let me tell you, the beef was tender and juicy and I got quite the serving of beef. This dish was very filling and overall pretty good. I do hope it has the same consistency at all of their locations as this meal was very good. If I'm back in the area anytime soon, I will stop in again.

Delicious food! You get a big serving for the price!! I got the Meal Combo E with orange chicken
Authentic french cuisine. Very nice and food quality. The restaurant is having a three course menu for $39 or $45. Lots of selection to choose from. Big portion especially the appetizer grilled calamari. And the dessert is very special and good. We all enjoyed the food and the excellent service. We will definitely go back and try other food items on the $45 menu. Not sure when this set menu will end though.
Best to order ahead of time since I had to wait for 25 minutes for my order to be made.
It is a shared restaurant with a Mr Sub outlet with each of them being totally separate.
These days, due to COVID, you only enter from the entrance of the side street and exit from the Yonge St door. They have enough sanitazer containers for customers use.
If you want peanuts and/or hot sauce, you have to ask for it.
The Pad Thai and Pad See were OK but it is certainly a quick service restaurant quality and not of a good Thai restaurant.
The Sausage fried rice was bad and the inside of the sausage did not look like a meat sausage.
The chicken nuggets were too dry.
The spring rolls were very average.
If you like sweet dessert, the chocolate cake is sweet and taste OK.
There are (paid) street parking except for rush hours and there is a small Sober supermarket around the corner so if you are also doing some grocery shopping, you can probably use one of their free parking spots.

The most affordable home cooked dumplings and food you will find. Everything they sell is good and the hot sauce is spicy 🌶 and the bomb. Definitely try out.
If you are looking for classic North-Americanized Chinese takeout (with a couple traditional dishes thrown into the menu mix) and you live downtown, then this is the place. Reasonable prices, the typical overflowing takeout container full of chop suey, chicken balls, sweet and sour sauce and fried rice (with actual egg, a rarity with similar style restaurants, I find) and bonus- hot and sour soup and spring roll. I wish they had egg rolls rather than spring rolls, but hey, for the price, I can't complain. I would like to add that the staff are super friendly. Note: closed on Tuesdays.
The first time I tried tibetan cuisine and I love it 😍.The owner and the little owner are so cute and friendly, he make a funny joke when we eating 🤣🤣 make us feel like home.
The food are so flavourful, and the price can make u surprise 😉. I really highly recommend to go to this restaurant (specially in this winter, let the soup make your day)

It is undoubtedly the best momos in Toronto. The place is small but the food is really good. They have amazing pork chilly, served with rice or roti. The owner is friendly. And it’s not pricey at all. The Tibetan tea is also soooo good. I would go back to this place again and again had I lived in Toronto.
I know they're only available for a limited time, but the $4 Mighty Melts is probably the best lunch deal around. Don't miss out - try one before they're gone!
It appears this location has changed ownership or something. They now restrict your veggie options to a maximum of two on the Mighty Melts and then want to start charging extra. Not the deal it used to be. I stopped going.

The food here, specially the momos, is so damn good and for a great deal! It’s a small joint next to TD Bank in Queen St W and I would suggest paying with cash. The service is delightful and they always are happy to see you come back.
Momos, my love, with the wholesome curry or achar is mind blowing here. I usually call them ahead of arrival so that I don’t have to wait and they always happily oblige. The servers there are very friendly and they’ll tell you if you can handle some of the spices or not. They have a good selection of food and it’s always freshly served! Go in with your friends or with your family, you’ll no doubt like the food.
