Khao San Road

Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish only because of the food. The delicious food and charming ambiance made for a memorable experience. The service could have been better. The servers kept pushing either to order quick or clear the plates quickly. Its not easy to enjoy a meal when your rushed into things. Hope there is a valuable learning to the staff on being understanding to customers. That being said , wishing folks a great day and all the best.

We ordered the Khao Soi and the Green Curry. They give generous portions and both dishes were so delicious. Seating inside can be a bit limited and they don’t take reservations so be prepared for a wait. But this is definitely one of the top Thai spots in the city.

This place was so good! If you want a solid delicious Thai dish, this should be your go to! We got the crispy tofu bites for an appetizer which was delicious. The waitress was so helpful with one of us having a shellfish allergy and accommodating our dishes because of it. There was a 30 minute wait for a 2 person table, but none for the bar. The atmosphere was overall super great and would go again!

Service here is exceptional and the food was fabulous. I love how lively the atmosphere is and would definitely return to try more dishes. Excellent authentic thai food in a convenient location. The Thai Iced Tea is great too! Note if you are meeting friends here, your whole group needs to be present before you can be seated.

Recently had the privilege of eating at Khao San Road a couple of days ago. The service was on point. We had servers constantly filling our glass, asking if we were ok, or if there was anything we needed. They were always smiling and consistent with this behaviour and service with everyone eating at that time, which by the way was full capacity. The place has a different set up than most and they make the most of their space. Very chilled atmosphere and cool looking bar upstairs which i will definitely try some time soon. We had the Thai Milk Tea and this drink was delicious and super sweet from the condensed milk. The food was really good. Ordered the Fresh Rolls, which honestly were my favourite up to date. The rolls were made from this sticky rice and had the texture of sticky rice different from any other place. They also put this chicken sausage which resembled tofu but it was actually tasty and mild the dipping sauce was on point. The only thing is it's super packed with cilantro, thats not a problem for me but if you don't like cilantro do not order this or ask to omit the cilantro. Also ordered Three Flavours Pad Thai with Beef which was really good. Sweet Salty Savoury was definitely appreciated, it was simple and good. Lastly we ordered the Green Curry with Rice. The dish was decent. Loved the spice level and mixture of spices and herbs but it was heavy on the coconut milk/cream. The pork had no flavour and the rice was a little hard. Overall i had a very enjoyable experience.

*3.5 stars There is literally no signage which could be interpreted as a cool hole in the wall resto or unclear marketing. The surrounding area was under construction too so the energy is not great if you come here on a weekday during construction hours. I appreciate the bursts of colour in the restaurant, especially the tiled wall and floors when you first walk in. The bar area unfortunately doesn’t have the same colourful tiling as the main section. I also like how they have different glassware for each patron and table, an artistic and eclectic decision. The Pad See Ew ($21.75) was syrupy sweet but not cloyingly so. It was definitely a unique flavor which I haven’t tasted before for this dish. For the protein, I ordered “tofu and vegetables” but the only vegetable is the Chinese broccoli. Other Thai restaurants normally include additional mixed vegetables as the “protein”. I didn’t dislike the fact it was only the Chinese broccoli. However, I felt it’s a bit misleading to say “vegetables” as the broccoli already comes with the noodles. The prices are on the higher end when comparing it to other Thai restaurants downtown. One dish costs a couple more dollars than its equivalent at other places. I don’t believe the higher price necessitates better quality of food or service. I think it costs more since they market themselves/self-proclaim as an“authentic” Thai restaurant. Additional notes: They don’t have a reservation system in place so it’s first come first serve. The seating is quite limited. I would recommend coming early if you have a large party. Be prepared to wait, even for a small party, as it was packed by 6pm. This is a great restaurant for gluten free/ intolerant eaters as you don’t have to pay a lot more for the gf option. Rather than having a couple gf options, they offer a separate gf menu for $1 more than the regular menu.

Food was fairly priced and delicious. Pad thai was very flavourful, more on the savoury end, one of the best I’ve tried in the city! Seating was quite tight, not the most comfortable. Staff was friendly and food was served fairly quickly. Worth a try if you’re in the area and looking for thai food.

Beef Panang curry was incredible. Best one I’ve ever had. The quality of the beef was fantastic. The pad Thai was delicious too
