Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen

A friend recommended this Thai restaurant, and I’m so glad I tried it! We visited on a Sunday evening and were informed of a 90-minute dining limit once seated. Every dish we tried was fantastic, especially the appetizer pork belly – it was super crispy, and the seafood salad (a signature dish) was packed with an impressive amount of seafood. We were asked about the spicy level, and we chose medium, though it ended up being quite mild. We were hoping to enjoy dessert as well, but unfortunately, we ran out of time. Definitely recommend booking a table in advance!

I've been back here twice, which says a lot considering the endless selection of restaurants in Toronto. Koh Lipe's menu is fantastic, and the food tastes incredibly good. It has a cozy atmosphere and the decorations reflect Thailand's charm. The service here is brilliant. The staff are kind and sweet without being overbearing. I wish more restaurant staff could adopt the same attitude. Every time I leave, I feel great on every level. So, I'm confident bringing people here, knowing it'll leave a great impression. This place is absolutely worth it. Plan ahead and get a reservation to avoid having to wait.

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.

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

We came here for Valentine’s Day and were happy that we chose this restaurant. There seems to be 2 sides with different vibes, we were led to a darker underwater-themed bar area and seated at a booth. The service was very attentive and quick - our waters were always filled and the food came out within 10 minutes surprisingly! Which was great because we were hangry. All of the dishes were amazing, we opted for a milder spice which was perfect. I’d only suggest getting the Pad Thai as a medium at least because it wasn’t too spicy and was quite sweet (not in a bad way). The portion size for the Khao Pad Pla was bigger than we expected! Would return! What we ordered: 🍴 Khao Pad Pla ($26.95) Fried rice with mackerel fish, egg, onion, carrot, lemongrass and topped with kastuobushi flakes 🍴Chicken Pad Thai ($20.95) Rice noodles, egg, tofu, bean sprouts, chives, tamarind sauce, and ground peanut 🍴 Luok Jhim ($35.95) Steamed shrimps, mussels, squid, fish served with chilli lime sauce - came with lettuce and noodles

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.

Very good service and very nice atmosphere. Food was tasty, one of the better Thai restaurants I’ve been to with a nice balance in flavour. However I found the crispy pork to be way too crispy, it honestly hurt my teeth after a while. Would recommend the Khao Soi as a solo dish and maybe the Islamic noodles and pineapple fried rice for sharing. I felt like the taste of the Islamic noodles were great but might get tiring for the whole dish. Fish cakes are great apps. The portions are huge.

Khan Neow Gaeng (pineapple chicken with sticky rice) was very good (especially the rice), keep in mind that the lowest spice is middle spice, and it’s quite hot 😅 Pad Thai was delicious as well 🤤 Gai Gor Lae was awful for us. Some people might like the spices, but the sauce’s smell was strong and too unpleasant to continue eating the dish, even though the chicken was tender and the portion was decent.
