Thai On Yonge — Restaurant in Toronto

Rather than going to salad king, I decided to come here. You know, try something different. The restaurant is on the second floor, but it has visible signage and decor so you shouldn't miss it.

My first impression when I stepped in was a large near-empty restaurant with outdated furniture and decor, and worst of all, no AC. It was really humid in here, and I was not being subtle about it. There was even a fruit fly buzzing around when I sat down. Shortly, however, I felt some AC coming our way, so the people managing the place must have heard my verbal complaints and did something about it I guess.

Washrooms are also just as humid, and you can see a handful of fruit flies all over the place. It is quite disgusting for the most part, but I suppose if you were to take this as an authentic thai experience where you're dining in a restaurant in the middle of a humid tropical environment, then the flies might be normal? Try to be optimistic about it.

There are only two people working outside of the kitchen. They might be the owners, but there's definitely not a lot of staff. We placed our orders, and then waited for 20-25 minutes before the food finally arrived. Another table that was there before us also waited awhile before they received their items.

We had the Golden Chicken Curry along with Street Pad Thai. It was a long wait, so automatically I'm expecting the food to be that much better since they're taking that much more time to prepare it. And it was quite tasty. The size of the pad thai is not bad, and came with both shrimp and chicken. The curry also had a lot of flavour, and the texture was not too watery.

Service here is generally very slow. They only have one lady taking orders, serving food, and taking the bill. You'd be better off just walking up to the front where the bar is because the guy is just standing around not doing much when no one's at the bar.

I would recommend just calling in and ordering your food to go, and picking it up half...

GRABBED SOME TAKE FROM HERE AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

TOM YUM SOUP +SHRIMP 2/5 THIS SOUP I FOUND TOO SWEET. ALMOST LIKE DRINKING SUGAR WATER W.A SPLASH OF VINEGAR. THE ADDED LEMONGRASS GAVE IT AN AROMATIC BOOST THOUGH. AVAILABLE W.CHICKEN, BEEF, SHRIMP OR VEGGIE.

PAD THAI +CHICKEN 3/5 FOUND THIS DISH TO BE TOO DRY. THE NOODLES CLUMPED UP AND STUCK TOGETHER. FLAVOURS WERE GOOD, BUT I WOULD ADD EXTRA EGGS BECAUSE THERE WAS BARELY ANY. YOU CAN GET THIS W.BEEF, CHICKEN, VEGGIE OR SHRIMP.

BEEF PAD SEE EW - WIDE FLAT RICE NOODLE STIR FRY W.BEEF 5/5 THIS WAS OUR FAVOURITE DISH! FLAVOURS WERE ON POINT AND IT TASTED SO DELICIOUS! I LOVE THE FRESH BASIL LEAVES THEY USED.

STEAM RICE W.BASIL BEEF STIR FRY & FRIED EGG ON TOP 4/5 THIS DISH WAS REALLY GOOD TOO BUT NOT ENOUGH GRPUND BEEF/BASIL MIX TO GO WITH THE AMOUNT OF RICE THEY GAVE. WE LOVE THE CRISPY FRIED EGG! YOU CAN ALSO GET THIS W.GROUND PORK OR CHICKEN.

PAPAYA SALAD 3/5 WISH THE PORTION WAS A TAD BIGGER TO SHARE, BUT I GUESS IT WAS MADE AS AN INDIVIDUAL PORTION ONLY. WE MIGHT HAVE ORDERED JUST THE SMALLER SIZE TOO. THE FISH SAUCE WAS WAY TOO FISHY. IVE HAD PAPAYA SALADS BEFORE AND I KNOW THERES FISH SAUCE IN IT, BUT THEY ADDED A FISH EXTRACT OR MUST HAVE USED A FISH SAUCE BRAND THATS REAAALY PROMINENT IN TASTE. QUITE REFRESHING.

OVER EXPERIENCE AND SERVICE WAS GOOD, QUICK AND THE WORKERS HAVE PPE AND COVID SAFETY...

Been here more than 3 times a week. As a regular, I recommend always order lunch special. Nothing else would outbeat the value. The taste is authentic and flavorful. I like this one better than another Thai restaurant near called Salad King.

First, for a price ranged from $11.95 to $12.95, you will get two fried spring rolls worth $3.5 and one soup worth around $4-6 on the side(could be Tom Yum or Sweet&Sour Soup). And the main dishes, sure it’s a bit smaller than the usual menu, still has a decent portion which originally worth from$13.95 to $16.95.

✅Lunch special menu is almost half the price compare to what you may got from the regular menu.

✅I said the best value throughout the lunch special menu will be Green Curry Chicken and Red Curry Beef. Second choice will be any other three kind of beef dishes and Sweet&Sour Chicken. Pad Thai will be my third choice cuz it’s a little sweet.

❌Don’t order Tom Yum Soup on the regular menu, the size is smaller than a lady’s hand/iPhone 13pro. You pay for $11 and will still be hungry. It’s only about 2-3 times bigger than the FREE lunch special menu side soup.

⭕️Seafood Mama Tom Yum Noodles is okay, it has 3shrimps+2mussels+3squids. Although I do think the mussels were a little...
