Taste of Thailand Cuisine on Dundas Street in Etobicoke is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece! This charming restaurant is a haven for Thai food lovers, offering an authentic and unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance, infused with the scents of lemongrass, basil, and chili, makes you feel like you’ve been whisked away to a bustling Thai market. The menu is bursting with flavor, and every dish we ordered was perfection. We kicked things off with the golden, crispy vegetable spring rolls, paired with a sweet-spicy chili sauce that was downright addictive. The star of the show was the Pad See Ew – perfectly stir-fried flat rice noodles with tender beef, crisp broccoli, and a savory-sweet soy sauce that hit all the right spots. My friend couldn’t stop raving about the red curry, a creamy, spicy blend of chicken, bamboo shoots, and bell peppers that paired beautifully with their fragrant jasmine rice. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was a heavenly balance of sweet, sticky goodness and fresh, juicy mango. The service was exceptional – the staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to share their love for Thai cuisine, even suggesting pairings to elevate our meal. The cozy decor, with its vibrant Thai touches, added to the welcoming vibe. Portions are hearty, prices are very reasonable (mains around $15-18), and the quality is unbeatable. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Etobicoke, Taste of Thailand Cuisine on Dundas is a must-visit for a true taste of Thailand. I’m already dreaming of my next meal...
Read moreCame here for dinner, not sure how some of these restaurants are rated so high..... I'll summarize with the following:
Positives Tasty food for the most part (pad Thai and red curry were good, not the greatest, massaman was not good) Good service, our server was very attentive and pleasant It's halal which is a nice plus
Negatives Small portions. The amount of rice we got in a $3 bowl was ridiculous. Is rice that expensive? I'd have to buy 3 bowls of rice just for my food. Way too expensive for what you get. I'm ok with paying for food but let me leave satisfied and not bamboozled. Interior decor needs some love. I'd say if they painted it black inside it would make a big difference.
The massaman curry dish came with whole pieces of chicken with the bone which wasn't mentioned in the menu. I asked the server to change my chicken to breasts since it didn't mention on the menu that it was on the bone ($20 for two legs is just ridiculous), to which he agreed that it should be mentioned but the owner in the back refused and instead gave us $10 off, but to be honest I was still in a loss since I was forced to eat something I didn't want to. That's unacceptable management.
Overall it was an ok experience but I'd say there are numerous Thai places in the area that are better.
Restaurant owners stop being so cheap. To give a little extra rice or a few extra pieces of chicken or shrimp literally costs you nothing compared to...

On the contrary, the inside is absolutely beautiful. The decor is gorgeous! There's a lot of seating, but there's more than enough space to walk around without banging into other diners. The decor features stone, tile, richwood, lovely chandeliers, and Thai style artwork
My daughter and I had Tom Yum soup, mango salad, beef with broccoli, and spring rolls. Everything was absolutely delicious and the presentation was simply delightful.
Just a heads up: the portion sizes are more suited for two. After I finished the mango salad, I really had no room for my soup ( but I still gave it the old College try!).
Have you ever had butterfly pea tea iced lemonade? It shows up at the table layered with lemonade on the bottom ice in the middle and a deep blue purple color on top accompanied by a lemon slice. You squeeze in the lemon, Stir It All up, and it turns pink!
Service was professional and courteous.
This is definitely on...
