Chiang Mai Danforth

I recently visited this restaurant on a weekday evening for dinner. We ordered the Malay Curry and the Famous Pad Thai, both with vegetables and tofu. The quality and quantity of the food were adequate. The price is a few bucks more compared to other Thai places, but the quantity justifies it. The staff members were friendly and quick. The only issue was that the restaurant is quite small. While this isn’t usually a problem, there was a fishy smell at our table, so we moved to another one since there were a few available at the entrance. There was no smell there. However, I would think twice before going to this restaurant on a weekend, when I might not have the option to choose a table and might have to tolerate the smell. I’ve visited many Thai restaurants, both large and small, but this smell issue has never happened before. If I hadn’t been able to change tables, the smell could have spoiled my evening.

Great spot with incredible food and amazing cocktails! Menu isn't crazy big but the items we got had wonderful flavour. Was definitely the best Thai food I've had in recent memory. If you are a cocktail fan I highly recommend the "Mango Sticky Rice", was a great way to start off the meal!

Had a great first experience here. Would definitely recommend. The dishes are not only very tasty, but also very visually appealing! The atmosphere is great, a little small but intimate. Very interesting drink menu as well. I got a mango espresso for the first time ever! As for dishes, i ordered the beef khao soi, which was delicious! The calamari with the 3 dipping sauces was amazing too. Definitely planning on coming back sometime in the future!

We celebrated a classmate's birthday at this amazing Thai restaurant, and it was such a great experience! The cozy ambiance and accommodating staff made us feel very welcome. We ordered the pad thai, minced beef with rice, and beef steak noodles in curry sauce, and everything was absolutely delicious! They even surprised our friend with a slice of birthday cheesecake, which we all enjoyed together—it was so good that we were tempted to order more but were too full! Highly recommend this place for both the food and the warm service.

Really good Thai food, the pad Thai was some of the best I’ve had. I got the spicy beef salad as an entree and it was quite filling with a good amount of beef. The service is attentive, atmosphere is chill vibes. We rolled in after biking with exercise clothes and still felt welcome.

I visited Chiang Mai on a day that didn’t start off well, leaving me in a rather subdued mood. I initially planned to order something visually appealing for my vlog, but what transpired was nothing short of a delightful plot twist. The staff were exceptionally enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive—like they were auditioning for a reality show about customer service. The portions were generous—one dish was ample for two people, particularly by Asian girl standards and I half-expected them to hand me a medal for finishing my meal. The presentation was striking, and the flavors were exquisite; no complaints there. The cuisine featured a fusion style, thoughtfully adjusted to cater to the palates of Western diners. I ordered papaya salad and pineapple fried rice with shrimp, and I highly recommend the latter—it's like a tropical vacation on a plate. The venue offered both indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for families, small groups, or even a stylish date. My mood improved significantly after lunch here—so much so that I almost forgot about my initial grumpiness. I’m certain I will return, possibly to explore another one of their locations. Their packaging and decor were beautifully crafted, with meticulous attention to detail and a nod to environmentally friendly practices. I suspect the owner has a flair for aesthetics, possibly even a secret life as an interior designer. Overall, it was a delightful experience—who knew a meal could turn my day around huh 🤪?

Visited chain Mai with my wife and my brother and sister in law. It was all of our first time ever visiting, I've been hearing a lot of great things from my friends about this spot. Recommend getting a reservation, as it can get busy, and this location isn't too big. Service was spectacular, our server was very kind, and would continuously refill our water, and ask if we were doing okay! Food was also really good, the ramen noodles were definitely the highlight, the brazed beef was so tender. Pad Thai was also super rich. The green sauce was definitely my favorite sauce of the bunch. Overall we had a great time, pricing was also super affordable. Will definitely be back!

Had dinner with a friend. The moment we got to the door, the staff was extremely accommodating. Apparently it was popular enough to need a reservation. (hint, hint) Prices were reasonable, around $20-30 a plate. The waitstaff was attentive and made great suggestions for new people not familiar with Thai taste. I got a lot of value for the food as the portions were enough to make me full. A great experience overall for people who aren't use to the Thai favor, reasonably priced, and adventurous people who want to dabble with spice. (Thai hot, wasn't too hot, at least for me).
