SISAKET Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Toronto

I recently went to the Scarborough Bluffs area and don't know what to have for lunch. As usual, I searched online and the first restaurant to show up on the list is the SISAKET Thai Kitchen. Therefore, I decided to give this restaurant a try.

TOM KHA (COCONUT SOUP):

The soup is silky smooth and full of coconut flavor. The ingredients are fresh and it is freshly cooked. This is one of the most refined TOM KHA I had tried in Toronto.

THAI ICED TEA:

Their Thai iced tea is not as sweet as other Thai restaurants, which is a good thing. I can taste the natural tea flavor and rich cream taste (not milk). The owner told me they use 10% cream for their Thai iced tea. In my personal opinion, this is the best Thai iced tea I have tried in Toronto.

PAD MEE SEE CHOM PO (PINK NOODLES):

This is my first time trying this dish and I am amazed. I can tell the chef put a lot of time and effort into this simple dish. The pink noodles are a little bit sour, which increases appetite. The crispy pork is very crispy and flavourful. The stir-fried egg does not taste like ordinary fried egg and the chef told me this is the Thai style fried egg. This is a must-try item.

MANGO & COCONUT STICKY RICE:

The mango is fresh and sweet. The sticky rice is not too sweet but a little bit hard. I also suggested the chef use their original way to serve this dessert dish instead (referring to the previous online photo). As placing the mango sticky rice on a plate instead of inside a bow will make the presentation look much better and easier to share among people. The chef did listen to my opinion and served the mango sticky rice using a plate the next night I visited this restaurant. I gave this restaurant one more star because the chef values customer opinion.

Out of the dozens of Thai restaurants I previously tried before, this is the only Thai restaurant both their dishes look and taste great. As many high-end Thai restaurants have great presentation but the taste is only average at most. Also, this is one of the most welcoming experience restaurant I have dine in the whole GTA. The couple who operates this restaurant are super friendly. I like this restaurant so much, I actually invited my family to have dinner at this place the next night. Highly...

#whenhungerstrikes17 Our journey takes us to this small Thai restaurant at Kingston Rd and Warden Ave. The decor is charming and welcoming. Some pictures of menu items hanging on the wall. Some small wooden tables and chairs for dine-in guests. The restaurant was not busy when we visited around 1:30 pm on a Sunday. Parking is only paid street parking, which is $2.75 per hour via Green P.

We ordered a bunch of lunch specials at $12.99. It comes with choice of pop or you can upgrade to premium drink for $3.50 like Thai Ice tea, Thai lemon tea, Thai matcha green tea, Thai ice coffee (O-Liang), Mango/guava/pineapple juice, Thai coco water. The Thai ice tea was served in a mason jar mug. Very refreshing drink.

The appetizers were good. We got the deep-fried coco shrimps (6) $13.25. The shrimps were served with a coleslaw salad and a tamarind dipping sauce. We tried the pork satay skewers (3) $10.95. The skewers were served with peanut dipping sauce and pickled daikon and carrots. The skewers were a bit on the small side.

The green curry chicken lunch special was a standout. The broth was aromatic and spicy. The curry was served in a small bowl with chicken breast, bamboo shoots, green peppers, and broccoli. My wife enjoyed her curry.

I ordered the Pad Kee Mao - Drunken noodles, which is a stir fried thick rice noodle with scrambled egg, bell peppers, fresh chilies, bamboo, young green peppercorn in Thai basil sauce. The noodles were not too spicy and just the right depth of flavors.

The A9 papaya salad appetizer platter (4 person) $45.99 was kind of pricey but offerred a variety of appetizers like spring rolls, coco shrimp, tofu wedges, salted egg, shrimp chips and choice of green mango or papaya salad. The platter is nicely presented, but it's hard to justify the price point.

Overall, it was a great experience. The server was very kind and courteous. They also sell some Thai local products on a shelf. We wanted to order the mango sticky rice dessert, but unfortunately, mangoes were not in season, so the dessert was not available. I would definitely come back. I just wish they were closer to home. #whenhungerstrikes definitely mark this one on your bucket list. I will try their Khao Soi...

My wife and I have ordered from Sisaket twice now and both times have been a hit. This used to be Jatujak and initially we were disappointed that it wasn't there anymore but thankfully Sisaket is a step up. We've tried the pad see ew, the pad thai, the mango & coconut sticky rice, the tom yum soup and my favourite the pineapple fried rice. I'm not much of a pad thai person but my wife is a big fan and said that it was REALLY good. I love Tom Yum soup and I love that it was served with chunks ginger, peppers and tomatoes. It was so flavourful and satisfying. Being Korean and mentioning to others that I do not like sticky rice is a crime. Just something about the texture I really never enjoyed BUT the mango & coconut fried rice was a very nice desert. The lightly sweetened rice with the mango and coconut milk is such a nice combination. My favourite dish though is the pineapple fried rice. Wasn't too oily, had a combination of savory and sweet. This dish will definitely be ordered with every meal. On a side note, seeing a 1 star review posted here is really harsh. That is essentially a death sentence for a small business. My parents were business owners and it's not easy running a business let alone a small restaurant. This family works from open to close in a high stress environment. I just wanted to mention this because I see that review at the top and it really bothers me that someone wouldn't even give them a second chance during these difficult times. ...
