Thai Noodle ก๋วยเตี๋ยวไทย(Guay Tiew Thai) — Restaurant in Toronto

DISGUSTED AFTER FINDING INSECTS IN OUR ALMOST FINISHED MEAL.

I've lived in the neighbourhood and have come to this restaurant both before and after its renovations. I used to love it.

But last night, we went there. Both my partner and I are vegetarians and are careful to state so when we order, as well as ask for no fish sauce in our meals.

After splitting two dinners, I noticed something funny in our Spicy Eggplant. Then I noticed another thing. After asking my partner to look at it, we realized they were either crickets or grasshoppers. When we pointed it out to the server, she was slightly embarrassed, but giggled and told us it was what they ate, but not to worry, it wasn't a pest infestation (not her words, but the gist of what she was saying). I understand people eat different diets, but I can't understand how that type of cross-contamination would ever happen.

We reminded her that we were vegetarians and didn't eat meat (I consider eating insects meat, although I realize it's mostly impossible to never eat a part of a bug).

They removed the price of the ONE dish from the bill - although that was the dish that arrived first and we really had no interest in eating anything else after (the second dish was approximately half eaten). It was absolutely disgusting. I don't understand how it could have happened and I will...

Poor service, inflexibility on menu items. I was at this restaurant last night with a friend and we wanted to substitute one appetizer for another on a dinner, something that is very common in the restaurant industry. The response was a flat "no". The server wouldn't check with his chef or manager and there wasn't even an option to pay an extra amount to make the change. This was a frustrating start to a dining experience with continued poor service. Before we were finished with our appetizer, the soup and first main was served. We had too many plates on the table and too much food at once. By the time we got through the appetizer, the 2nd main was served. I felt rushed and by the time we got to the mains, they were cold. From that point on we were ignored, except for water refills. When we wanted to leave, we had to go up to their counter to ask for and pay the bill. And when I was returning to leave a small tip on the table, I was immediately followed by our server and a tip was demanded, with an explanation that in Canada a tip was required. This demand, which turned to begging was awful to watch. After feeling quite harassed, I decided not to leave a tip at all and needless to say, I wouldn't return or recommend them. The food was ok, but the dining experience...

The most disappointing meal I've had in a long time.

I've been craving spicy food, so I asked a date to pick a restaurant that had the spiciest food he could think of. He said Thai food is usually super spicy & so we went to thai noodle by Bathurst & st clair

The restaurant was empty an I'm not surprised. It was the most BLAND food I've had outside of a school cafeteria!

I specifically ordered the hottest thing on the menu (a basil & chili dish) the menu put 4 chillis next to it so I was very excited to try it! It came out with NO SPICE WHATSOEVER.

It was so incredibly disappointing! I couldn't even finish it. It was just wet, salty pieces of chicken with some bell pepper & onion. Not even a hint of spice.

The owner was friendly and the service was quick. But I'm definitely not going back. If that's what they consider a "🌶🌶🌶🌶" level of spice, I shudder to think how bland and flavorless everything else on the menu must be.

It's a shame too, I work less than a block away & always walk past this place. It would've been great to find another last minute dinner spot for when I don't feel...
