PAI Toronto

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing! The food at PAI was outstanding from start to finish. We ordered the tofu Pad Thai, shrimp fried rice, mango salad, and spring rolls, and every single dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavour. This is hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and everything tasted authentic and delicious. I can see why this place is so popular! Services could have been better but the food made up for it. It wasn’t just slow but the lady didn’t take instructions well and was not very attentive. I had to ask twice for straws and to have empty plates removed even though she had come to the table twice. We hardly had space to begin with so clearing empty plates should be a priority. Nonetheless, I’ll definitely be back for more. ❤️😋 Highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible Thai food in Toronto! I’m excited for the Square One location to open since it’s closer to me.

We’ve been to PAI a couple of times now, and it has never disappointed us. Every visit has been consistently excellent, from the food to the service. For starters, we ordered the Kung Tawt (garlic shrimp) and the shrimp chips. Both were absolutely delicious and a great way to start the meal. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, while the shrimp chips were light, crispy, and addictive. For our mains, we ordered two Chef Nuit Pad Thais with beef, and they were outstanding. The portions were very generous, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. We also had the chicken Khao Soi, which was rich, comforting, and full of depth. To round out the meal, we tried the Khao Pla Twat (fried fish), which was cooked perfectly and served with a generous portion of fish and rice wrapped in a banana leaf. Every dish was exquisitely prepared, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the presentation and flavor of the food. Despite arriving later in the evening, the wait time was minimal. We were quoted 15–25 minutes but ended up getting seated in about 10 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. PAI continues to be one of the best restaurants in Toronto. The food is consistently exceptional, the portions are generous, the service is efficient, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for incredible Thai food in the city.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure Perfection! This spot is a culinary masterpiece. The Tom Yum Prawn soup was spectacular—fiery, beautifully sour, and packed with plump, tender prawns. The absolute showstopper, though, was the green curry with crusted fried fish. The crispy texture of the fish paired with that vibrant, velvety sauce was pure genius, especially alongside the fragrant leaf-wrapped jasmine rice. 💡 Must-Try: You cannot leave without ordering the Thai iced tea gelato. It is absolutely divine and the perfect refreshing finish! Fantastic service and unforgettable flavors. **10/10.**

Finally got a seat at Pai - was really looking forward to trying out the food here after hearing all the hype around it. Every dish was almost perfect and the experience definitely met my expectations. We started off with the beef salad and then went on to try the pad Thai, the massaman curry, the khao soi, and Thai iced tea. The pad Thai and massaman curry consisted of pretty standard flavours - nothing too mind-blowing. The pad Thai was extremely spicy yet rich with flavour. Careful with the spice levels you choose! The highlight of the night, surprisingly, was the beef salad - the meat was full of flavour and, combined with the salad, felt extremely fresh: the perfect start to the meal. The iced tea was also fantastic and very much worth the hype. The interiors were amazing and fit for a night out. Service 10/10. Overall, outstanding dining experience.
