Great atmosphere and well balanced flavours but the two major flaws are the service time and the spice level of the food. We had to wait super long after getting the menus to have our order taken, super long after we finished our meals to order dessert and long after we finished dessert to pay our bills. The other issue was that this food is crazy spicy. I generally have a high spice tolerance and so do my friends, however the type of spice in this food is a numbing flavour so we lost a bit of enjoyment of the food. I understand that this is most likely the traditional way to prepare the food but I can’t recommend it in spite of that. I would recommend ordering the dishes here with no spice because they are very high quality. The pork jowel particularly was amazing

This is now one of my go-to Thai restaurants in downtown Toronto after today! All the food was full of flavour, especially the Papaya salad with Salted crab. The dishes were well portions to share between 2 persons. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

Fast and friendly service with an affordable menu. So much flavor. We ordered everything mild and there was still some heat to it, in a nice way but for anyone who is sensitive make sure you go mild. We had 5 different dishes and drinks and it was around $100 for 2 people (tax in) . I don't recommend a walk-in, limited space and very popular, Michelin Guide listed.

Food was extremely flavorful and portions are deceptively pretty large. I thought the salad was just slightly too salty for my preference with the entire salad swimming in the fish sauce. The mango sticky race was great and so was the curry.

Lively lil Thai spot. The offerings were authentic and different than you get at a regular Thai spot in the city which is exciting. Service was fast and friendly and everything tasted great. My friend who loves spicy food went for level 6 and was having a hard time so be warned!

A lovely restaurant that offers a dopamine boost with the first bite of its food. The taste brings me to Thailand with their strong, delicious, and rich spices. I haven't had the chance to try all the other dishes, but I believe they’re great! The service is excellent!

Delicious Thai food with authentic flavours. Definitely need to get one of the papaya salads, it’s the star of the show. Fried frog legs were also delicious. Soups were hearty and very flavorful. Med spicy was great for us. Also have some nice desserts with coconut ice cream and pandan jelly. Mango sticky rice was a little too rich for us at this location.

One of the best Thai restaurants we’ve been! The ambience was so colorful and vibrant. We got the fried papaya salad, which was on point. The glass noodle with minced pork was easily one among the best thai dishes Ive ever had. The panang curry was really tasty too. Unfortunately they were out of all desserts, so couldn’t try. The staff were sweet and friendly. An amazing hidden gem!
