a month agoI had a great experience at Pai Toronto. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They explained the menu to us and made us feel very welcome. The food was even better than I expected—so delicious and full of flavor. Everything from the service to the food to the vibe was perfect. I’d love to come back. I wish I remembered our server’s name—they were truly amazing!

2 months agoThis place is a must-visit! The flavors are bold, fresh, and exactly what you’d expect from Thai cuisine. Every dish feels like it was made with care—perfectly balanced spices, fragrant herbs, and just the right amount of heat. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves Thai food!

a week agoBe ready to wait—30+ minutes during dinner is the norm here, but it’s worth every second. The warm, traditional Southeast Asian decor sets the mood the moment you step inside. Every dish hits like true street food—bold, vibrant, addictive—but with the comfort and presentation of a proper restaurant. Pure nostalgia, pure flavor

in the last weekFirst visited this Thai restaurant back in February 2020 for my wife’s birthday. Went back to check it out after Covid but, it was closed, we thought it had went out of business. It made us sad because we really like this place and wanted to return. The waitress told us that they were still in business but, they were only serving take out. This is my second visit, and this time around I was celebrating my wedding anniversary. The vibes was perfect, the food was amazing, and it’s just steps away from all the clubs in Toronto’s entertainment district. They have a cool waiting area by the bar, where you can stand to have a drink while you wait to be seated. This spot is popular for DoorDash food delivery takeout orders. There were at least 5 food delivery riders parked out side waiting to pick up their orders. They have a seating option where you can opt to share your table with others who also chose that option, which allows you to be seated faster.

3 months agoFinally made it to PAI and..... it's middle of the pack Thai food. It's important to keep in mind Michelin overweights the importance of atmosphere, ambience and service over food. The food was enjoyable, but not exceptional. The oxtail curry tasted like an Indian curry, the pad see ew tasted great but had no smokiness/wok hei and the fried fish was crispy and good enough. I liked my dinner here but you're better off going to Pii Nong or Eat BKK (Sheppard location) or Koh Lipe
