Finally got a seat at Pai - was really looking forward to trying out the food here after hearing all the hype around it. Every dish was almost perfect and the experience definitely met my expectations.nnWe started off with the beef salad and then went on to try the pad Thai, the massaman curry, the khao soi, and Thai iced tea. The pad Thai and massaman curry consisted of pretty standard flavours - nothing too mind-blowing. The pad Thai was extremely spicy yet rich with flavour. Careful with the spice levels you choose! The highlight of the night, surprisingly, was the beef salad - the meat was full of flavour and, combined with the salad, felt extremely fresh: the perfect start to the meal. The iced tea was also fantastic and very much worth the hype.nnThe interiors were amazing and fit for a night out. Service 10/10. Overall, outstanding dining experience.
Had the most amazing first experience at PAI! Was looking for a good Thai spot near union station and this place was highly recommended. It did not disappoint. We only had to wait ~10 minutes for a table around 5 pm. I love the vibes of the restaurant, from its cool basement location to the decor and the 90s R&B playlist! Not to mention that the food was phenomenal. The portion sizes were huge and everything came out very fast and was hot and fresh! Definitely recommend this spot and will be coming back next time I’m in Toronto!
Delicious Thai food, made even better by the warm and attentive staff.nnWe waited about an hour to be seated, and since it was a busy weekend lunch, service was a bit slow at first—getting water and placing our order took some time. Once things got going, though, the experience improved.nnWe started with the Thai chicken appetizer, which was excellent. Our server explained the sauces, which made trying new flavors much more enjoyable.nnWe ordered two main dishes, and overall the food was very good. My spouse mentioned it was the best Pad Thai he’s ever had. We’d love to come back and try more dishes, preferably at a quieter time.nnAt first, it seemed like there wasn’t a dedicated server per table, which felt a little unusual. However, any staff member passing by checked on us, and it actually felt convenient and welcoming.nnThe prices were slightly on the higher side, but the service helped make it feel worth it.
Solid place! I get why there is a consistent interest around the place, it has good food and a great ambiance. The restaurant was recommended a couple of times and I would rate the food a high 7/10.nnAny test for a good Thai cuisine is spring roll starters - which were done well, crispy and not at all soggy. I ordered the khaosey and they were very well balanced. The chicken was soft and the base was tangy with good spices. The red curry was very well made too, chicken did fall dry on it but that’s more than likely because it’s cooked separately or thawed, which is very common for any restaurant.nnThe Thai iced tea was tasty, especially with the crushed ice, made the food enjoyable. I do feel like the food ended up being on the more expensive side, I’d say compared to suko Thai maybe 15-20$ dollars more for pretty much the same menu.nnConsidering the reviews, the kitchen has a good sense of spice - so any dish you do end up getting would be pretty good. Do try the kahosey
We enjoyed our dinner here. This place is always slammed, so expect to wait, but it's a huge space so shouldn't have to wait too long. We actually got seated right away as we said we'd sit at the bar. For us this worked out great. The meal was very good. We got the appetizer platter to have a little taste of everything. Saw other people ordering the appetizers separately and when it's ordered separately it looks like you get more quantity. But it was still more than enough food for us. I just think the appetizer platter was a bit pricey. Everything else was very reasonably priced. I had 2 cocktails which were made well and tasted great. Our two main meals were very good. Atmosphere is pretty cool, but very loud so I definitely would not call this a romantic place but great for fun conversation. Make reservations if you're in a group. Overall very good Thai food. Would return!
