Been frequenting here multiple times since the past 3 years whenever I happen to be in Chinatown. Big fan of their mango sticky rice with sago and icecream combo, which for the price, is their big seller. From my experience it's enough for 3 people to share with. Mango sago is pretty appetizing as well if you're a mango fan as well. Their iced milk teas are served in generous portions in fancy tiki style glasses. They come with a lot of ice and sweetness by default, atleast for my liking, so make sure to ask them to serve the drinks with less ice and sugar as required. Altogether I believe they're an underrated spot in Chinatown, especially for their desserts. I'll check them out again for their other menu offerings.

Prefect cook of pork belly, very juicy and the dipping is nice. Even though is a small place but the food is a hidden germ. Very accessible location too. Will keep returning if any craving for Thai cuisine.

Came here because my boyfriend is from Hong Kong and I’m from Thailand. There was so much variety in food here! We got two combos, about $23 each (thai basil fried egg rice + mango sago + ovaltine sago, and sausage egg fried rice + shrimp chips + thai iced tea) and crab pincher appetizer. It was amazing!! Exceeded my expectations. The basil pork was nice and salty and I would definitely recommend getting the small size if you’re going to combo. Everything else was so flavorful and definitely get the mango sago… the mango was sooo sweet! Service was super quick, we went for lunch so it was not busy at all. You get 10% off for cash payment and a fortune cookie each on the way out. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for another favorite on Spadina!

we came here at 4pm and there was no wait; we were seated immediately. the food arrived surprisingly quick as well. the restaurant's online menu has this feature where you can select when the dessert is served (between now, 15 minutes later, or 30 minutes later). portion sizes were pretty big, the drink didn't have too much ice but was pretty sweet. all of this food was very good, and more than enough for two people to eat comfortably (we got satay beef noodle soup, green curry chicken roti, Thai iced milk tea, mango sticky rice). if anything, the food was a little too much for us to finish. the staff were nice to us as well. overall this was a very cool place, would recommend.

Had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. I had the chicken curry bowl and my partner had the coconut chicken soup. Both were really tasty. A companion with us had the chicken stir fry which was also very tasty. We also had the fried pork appetizer which was very good as well. Dessert was ice cream with mango and sticky rice which was excellent. Really enjoyed the dessert. Service was fast and attentive. The atmosphere was ok, but nothing special as it felt like more of a diner. Would definitely go back if we are in the area. Prices weren't too bad for the area.

Wanted mango sticky rice and from the great reviews of that dish, came here. The rice and milk were good, but the mangos were way too hard. Overall it was OK. Edit: After trying mango sticky rice from FOUR different places, I have to say the one here is #1. I was too harsh on the hard mangoes lol

A pleasant surprise along Spadina. Thai curry is tangy and the overall menu has 'something for everyone'. Small space so a large group likely wouldn't fit too well in the seating. Would certainly visit again! Food was excellent.

It was my first time dining at this restaurant, which serves a fusion of Hong Kong and Thai cuisine. The prices are very affordable and reasonable. We ordered a small portion of pork fried rice, but it was quite small—just enough for one person. I initially assumed “small” was the regular size since the menu only mentions paying $2 extra to upgrade to a large. That said, the flavor was great; the fried pork was well-seasoned and hit the spot. We also tried a bowl of noodles, which was decent in taste. Overall, if you’re looking for tasty Thai-inspired food at a budget-friendly price, this place is definitely worth a visit ;)
