Chai Pochana

Food was only okay, for the price you would expect better. Liked the Khao Soi but the Basil stir fry was not good at all. Server was nice at first but got mad we left no tip at the end of service. We were going to give a cash tip because we aren’t sure if card tips get kept by owners (some places do). But her asking why and saying her manager gets mad at her when people don’t leave tips was kind of off putting. She ignored us after and was kind of rude after and like I get not leaving a tip is rude but we literally were going to tip but not if we get harassed for it as their food is already expensive. Sounds like the owner shouldn’t reprimand their staff for not getting tips because it seems like they’re taking a cut of it or something.

Sweetest server ever, great food. It’s a local favourite for take out or eat in equally. So lovely to be recognized as a regular with spice preferences!

Local hang out that seems to focus more on pickup than eat in Service was poor (although only one server and she tried her best) Had to repeatedly ask for sauce, napkins, water refills and cutlery. Atmosphere and food is so so My companion (let’s call her Rose) received the spicy noodles after specifically asking for non spicy. Overall, it’s not worth a second visit

I did order their Pad See Ew yesterday on Doordash. The vegetables and beef in it are fine but their noodle has this very extreme moldy smell. I don’t know was it their sauce so I did close it and try it again this morning but still cant eat the noodles because of the moldy rice noodle smell. For almost 20$ for this dish I didn’t expect this. Im from South East Asia too so I do know about spices and this is not it. I did report it to DoorDash and hope they have a valid response to it. I love their sticky rice and thai milk tea is a bit too sweet.

Very happy to spot this tiny Thai restaurant with not so "tiny" menu with lots of vegetarian options and generous portions. Welcoming and quick service + tasty food made this a worthwhile dining experience.

I can see why this small Thai restaurant is so highly rated. We went for late lunch and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The waitress is just lovely, attentive, and gave perfect suggestions. We shared mixed appetizers, a Street Pad Thai (chef special with narrow noodles) and a Pad See Ew (wide noodles) with Chinese broccoli and beef. Both main dishes were excellent and generous amounts of meat. Flavours were perfect and I’m obsessed with their fragrant in house roasted chili. In the appetizers, the chicken satay was really authentic tasting and the vegetarian fresh spring roll very fresh. There were also deep fried squid, and taro cakes which I didn’t try. Everything is spotlessly clean in the restaurant and there’s only 4 tables, the decor is unusual and made for a relaxing, unrushed meal. Took home the delicious leftovers! I really think you couldn’t go wrong with any of their noodle dishes. Totally recommend.

This is a nice and fantastic Thai restaurant! The atmosphere is nice, the ambiance is welcoming and the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. The prices are reasonable, the food is tasty and fresh. I ordered the Green Curry with chicken and it was good! I also ordered friend rice with beef for my daughter and she was impressed. My son wanted the Pad Thai and he loved it. The restaurant is equipped with proper shields regarding COVID-19 regulation. Wish him best of luck. COVID-19 update: They're now open for dine-in. They also have a nice patio. #shoplocal #toronto #thaifoodtoronto #covid-19 #supportlocal

This restaurant is fantastic! The decor was neat and the staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were very fair and the food tasted very authentic and fresh. I had the Panang Curry with shrimp and was not disappointed; they actually put in seven large shrimps that were fresh and perfectly cooked. The Pad Thai was nice and didn't have that 'ketchupy' flavour some places unfortunately have. The Satay and Spring Rolls were good appetizers but I think next time we'll try the soups and salads!
