Chai Pochana

This place is special. Probably one of the best Thai restaurants in Toronto. I struggled to rate this a 4 or 5 because the crispy beef dish wasn't great - too sour and lacking balance - but alas the fish curry and pad Kra pow were amazing! I would easily go back just for the fish curry. Crispy, flavourful and sooo satisfying.

I can see why this small Thai restaurant is so highly rated. We went for late lunch and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The waitress is just lovely, attentive, and gave perfect suggestions. We shared mixed appetizers, a Street Pad Thai chef special with narrow noodles and a Pad See Ew wide noodles with Chinese broccoli and beef. Both main dishes were excellent and generous amounts of meat. Flavours were perfect and I’m obsessed with their fragrant in house roasted chili. In the appetizers, the chicken satay was really authentic tasting and the vegetarian fresh spring roll very fresh. There were also deep fried squid, and taro cakes which I didn’t try. Everything is spotlessly clean in the restaurant and there’s only 4 tables, the decor is unusual and made for a relaxing, unrushed meal. Took home the delicious leftovers! I really think you couldn’t go wrong with any of their noodle dishes. Totally recommend.

Very happy to spot this tiny Thai restaurant with not so "tiny" menu with lots of vegetarian options and generous portions. Welcoming and quick service + tasty food made this a worthwhile dining experience.Food: 5/5

Wow! This place is so amazing. Everything was delicious especially the Khao Soi which was super fragrant with a generous serving of crunchy fried egg noodles on top. It looked so good we forgot to take pictures‍. Get a side of the coconut rice to sop up any extra gravy. The portions are generous so come hungry. The fried banana dessert is a MUST with real honey and a light airy crunchy coating that went so well with the sweet banana inside. Hidden gem alert!! We'll be back!

Great place for authentic Thai food. Their khao soi is amazing!! Service is friendly and fast.

Went here on a whim with my partner and it was absolutely amazing! We grabbed the Pad Thai and Panang Curry and both dishes were delicious. We ate in and the staff were lovely. I will definitely order here again when I'm craving Thai takeout.Food: 5/5

Fantastic food at very reasonable prices. Lovely people.

Me and my partner were excited to try Chai Pochana and within mins we were very disappointed and disgusted. I ordered Pad Thai w/Shrimp and he ordered the sticky rice w/ grilled chicken. Within 3 mins the food came out, extremely fast. The Pad Thai looked like soup, it was heavily sauced and tasted like BBQ sauce, tasted awful, the shrimp had a bad after taste. The dish was not edible. My partners sticky rice tasted like coconut and also had a strong odor of coconut. When we we mentioned to the waitress about the Pad Thai she confirmed it's ketchup that they use In the dish and was persistent that the sticky rice was not coconut rice, even though she could smell the coconut animating from the rice. The waitress was polite, but overall there are plenty of authentic Thai restaurants that taste 100x better.

Went early on a Saturday so it wasn’t busy yet. Excellent customer service and quick to bring the food out. Had the chicken pad Thai and it was delicious. Loved the interior of the restaurant as well. Very reasonable prices and will definitely return.

I'm just sorry I haven't discovered this place sooner, price is great, quality is perfect, and taste was on the spot as well . A perfectly balanced menu with some of the best priced beers in a restaurant on St. Claire. Will be back for sure The green curry was so refreshing!
