"I've been here three times, and while many love it, I find it overrated. The wait time is often lengthy, and quite a number of dishes aren't available until after 4pm. The food is okay, but after waiting for an hour, I expected more. The shrimp chip is my all time favorite though ."
My husband and I came here for my birthday dinner. We had to wait in line to get in as we didn't have a reservation, then had to wait for another 15 minutes for a table. Total waiting time was about 25 30 minutes I guess. Once we were seated, the service was quite fast, and the servers were friendly. The food was amazing and came fairly quickly as well. The chicken satay is a must try, they were succulent and flavorful and set the tone for the rest of the meal. I ordered the green curry with chicken, which came in a coconut with the rice on the side. It tasted just as delicious as it looked. My husband ordered the beef Khao Soi, and that was scrumptious as well. We ordered the Mango Sticky R...
We went in around 5:30pm on a Friday night without reservations and were seated within 15 minutes. Service was friendly and fast and our server explained to us the different levels of spiciness. We both got the chicken pad Thai but I ordered mild and my husband who loves spicy got the foreign spicy. My husband, who doesn’t eat Asian kind of spicy food, said the foreign spicy level was perfect for him. We parked in a parking garage down the street and paid $9 for one hour and we were in and out of PAI before our parking time ran out. This was a great choice for our first dinner visiting here in Toronto!Parking: There is a paid parking lot right next to a paid parking garage. The lot is $20 fo...
Make reservations if you can, but if not a casual walk in works as well. When you walk in you immediately feel the hip vibe of the place. We walked in and had a minor wait, but grabbed a drink at the bar. Bartenders were awesome and quickly took our drink order and even mixed up a nice cocktail for me. We got seated at our table.There’s so much goodness on the menu it was hard to decide because we wanted it all. But the waiter was very helpful. The food and customer service was spectacular!! We got seat a little after 9 and they closed at 930 (a Tuesday). Ran out of time to grab desert, but now we have a reason to return.A Northern Thai gem in the center of Toronto!! Absolutely Wonderful!!
We went there on a Monday evening, and there was a long line out the door. The wait was fairly short though, only being around 30 minutes. Once we stepped into the restaurant, we were shocked by how large the interior was, sprawling far into the building. We heard rave reviews from others, so we had high expectations. Their service was impeccable, and the food was amazing. My favorite dish was the laab salad, the flavours being fresh and herbal, cutting through the fatty meat. The rest of the dishes were also great in both taste and technique. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be back to try the beef noodles.

What I got: Mango Salad Small Tom Yum Soup Green Curry Khao Soi Thai Milk TeaWhat I liked: The best freaking mango salad I've ever eaten in my life. Phenomal. Delicious green curry and khao soi. The taste was just creamy enough, but with bold flavours. The waitress was super kind, patient and the food came fast. Wait time wasn't bad for 2.What I didn't like: I was disappointed by the tom yum soup. The flavours were bold, but honestly, a bit too much.Would 1000% recommend this restaurant if you have time to wait.Mango salad is a must try as well as at least 1 curry dish.
PAI is definitely a very popular spot in Toronto and, for some people, it may even seem somewhat touristy, but the food there is actually delicious. It gets very busy but, we have been lucky enough to get seated almost right away. Overall, the service is good, a little slow at times but, so far it hasn't been a problem. The food is very tasty, fresh and crispy. Perhaps, a bit pricey but, the portions are satisfying. The ambiance is lively and the décor definitely takes you to another place.
Love this place! Awesome, chill vibe!The menu is fantastic, with plenty of wonderful options. Each of our dishes were really flavourful and extremely satisfying!The staff are really friendly and courteous, attentive and accommodating for allergies.The expanded dining area is terrific and very cozy.Make sure to make reservations, as this is a very popular spot.Make sure to save some space for their coconut sorbet!
Yes you will wait forever, but it is so popular for very good reason! The food was unbelievable, like 10/10 and the prices are shockingly fair. Be cautious the portions are quite large you really don't need too many dishes but this is a must try! Also Jeff is so nice he came out and talked for a while, always love when owners do that, really adds to the experience! The cocktails are also great!

This is excellent northern Thai cuisine! They serve khao soy which I have only ever had in Northern Thailand. It was relatively authentic and definitely delicious. We went mid-afternoon and it wasn't too busy and we were able to be seated right away. It is often busy during normal meal times, however, and you can expect a wait.
I've been here three times, and while many love it, I find it overrated. The wait time is often lengthy, and quite a number of dishes aren't available until after 4pm. The food is okay, but after waiting for an hour, I expected more. The shrimp chip is my all time favorite though .
