Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen

One of my favourite spots in the city. Well deserving of its Michelin recommendation because the flavours are always right and consistent. Have tried many dishes but the photo is of the special mackerel fried rice. Happily recommend it to anyone who wants a good Thai spot in the city. Service is friendly and it’s a fun place to visit year round.

I recently visited Koh Lipe, a Michelin-recommended Thai restaurant, and had an amazing experience! The interior and decorations are absolutely stunning, creating a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. The food was incredible—each dish was packed with flavour and truly made my taste buds salivate! The unique tastes were unlike anything I've had before, and the chef's special menu was especially delicious. The presentation of the dishes was also impressive, making the meal feel even more special. Service was top-notch, with the staff being friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves exceptional Thai cuisine! Must try menu items: 1) Pad Mee 2) Khao Neow Gaeng 3) Gai Gor Lae

Super flavour and super good food. I got the chicken pad Thai with peanuts and the rice bowl special that month in November. Foods is consistent throughout the times I go there. Though most foods have the same flavour as I try more dishes. They are still good. Top items to try is the chicken Tom yum soup and pad Thai I love it so much. Would come back for it every time. Space needs more space especially in the winter when we all have shopping bags and big coats. Customer items touch each other when sitting down on the bench seating area.

I went to this place when I had a day in Toronto just the past weekend. This is a cute little place. The service was excellent and the food was brought out hot and quickly as well. If you're craving some Thai food this is the place to go. Toronto always had good Thai food and I'm going to add this place to my list of restaurants to go back to. We ordered a few dishes to share and everything was seasoned to perfection. We did not go wrong with anything we ordered. I'll definitely want to go back to try other dishes from this place

The name Michelin is hugely mis- leading here. I can confirm it has not earned any Michelin stars and in no way lives up to the name. I fell prey when I read other reviews, some of which were misleading, and I blindly went there. Having eaten Thai food from its source and around the world, I would say it was easy for me to compare. It was good but positively nothing to gloat about. I was very disappointed and only decided to read if it was really Michelin worthy. For my readers - it is not a Michelin star restaurant it is just listed in the guide. Go in treating it as a basic Thai food restaurant, and you will not face the same disappointment I had.

Tasty Thai food and great service! We had an amazing waiter who accommodated us when we wanted to switch spots, and regularly checked up on us. The atmosphere and interior is gorgeous, however a bit squishy and some seating areas feel small depending on the second floor. Nonetheless, my friend and I had high expectations as this restaurant has Michelin stars. We ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken, and the Green Curry with coconut rice. Both dishes are so delicious and plentiful, the portions were great! I will say the Pad Thai had almost a too strong flavour—I had to take breaks in between bites, and honestly believed it was a dish you might get tired of tasting. The green curry was perfectly spiced at mild, and the coconut rice tasted like regular jasmine rice to be honest. I do believe the prices are a bit high in comparison to other places that may serve the same, if not at a slightly lesser quality for a lesser price. Overall, my friend and I enjoyed the experience, but I think there could be other places just as good for less the price. This place is definitely worth a try if you love Thai food!

Came here on a whim after having eaten at their other location, and this place did not disappoint. We were thankfully able to get in as walk-ins, and we ordered the Islamic noodles and the fish cakes. The fish cakes were pretty spicy for someone like me who isn’t used to eating much spicy food, but the Islamic noodles were fine in that department. The peanuts provided some very nice texture, while the curry itself was extremely flavourful and the eggs were also a nice addition on top. For dessert, we got the mango sticky rice, which came with a chocolate mango flavoured chocolate shell. I really liked how you were able to crack open the mango yourself, as the other Koh Lipe location doesn’t give you the shell. The rice was super flavourful, and the chocolate gives a nice balance between the sourness of the mango and the flavour of the rice.

Went to this place when I visited Toronto and I loved it! The food here was so flavourful and it was one of the best Thai foods I ever had. We went around 7pm on a weekday and it was busy but we were able to be sat quickly. We loved the pork with rice & egg, the pork was cooked just right and it was so flavourful and it went perfectly with the rice. I also recommend getting the pineapple rice, it was aesthetic and delicious (even tho I’m not a big fan of pineapple w salty foods). Will definitely return next time I visit Toronto again and try their drinks and other dishes. The interior of the restaurant is also really pretty and the vibes were good.
