Bolan Thai is a great small little place that offers delicious Thai food located at Yonge and Eglinton. My first impression of the place was that it is small but the decor is quite interesting. There is a shelf attached to the wall with bottles of soy sauce from Thailand and Thai spices. On a humid day the AC is not very strong but they have two fans to cool the place down. In terms of the seats they are mainly wooden tables.
Their orange coloured menus are unique, small, and interesting to flip through in terms of the design. The menu is bounded by a plastic spiral holder and each page includes a picture of a destination from Thailand. It was like flipping through a photo book or a postcard collection
They offer lots of variety. For instance they have variations of red curry such as peanut red curry or pineapple red curry. I decided to try the pineapple red curry.
My first impression was that the presentation is very cute as it comes with rice that is moulded into a star shape so it makes it fun to eat. The portions are good as well and comes with a good amount of chicken.
As for dessert I highly recommend the mango sticky rice. The presentation was very good and too pretty to want to eat it. The taste was amazing as well as there was lots of coconut flavour. The mangos were sliced, sweet, fresh, and wrapped around the sticky rice like a flower. The texture if the rice was a little hard but I believe it is meant to be like that. What an amazing way to finish off a good meal.
I had forgotten but you can also check in to Yelp to try the dessert of the day.
The service was great and the food preparation was quick as well
Great place and will definitely be back!
