I love Pai! It's my favourite Thai restaurant in Toronto. The food is consistently delicious and authentic to the flavours of Thailand (I've spent a month there). Their typical Thai dishes like Pad Thai and green curry are really great. It's my favourite pad Thai in the city. Another thing I've never seen on any other menus is their Miang Kung which comes as a make your own mini wraps with betel leaves, cooked shrimp and a variety of finely diced aromatics like ginger and scallion as well as lime and pomelo for some tartness. Add a little bit of the tamarind sauce and peanuts and you've got yourself a flavour bomb.
Another dish they do really well is their Khao Soi. The portion is very generous and the yellow curry sauce is very rich. Highly recommend! For apps, I love their Moo Ping pork skewers, they're sticky, charred and full of fatty deliciousness. You can cut the rich flavours with a refreshing Thai iced tea that's made with sweetened condensed milk. Honestly, all their food is so good here!
The vibe is very fun here too, very busy, a bit loud and decorated with fun bits and bobs that give a throwback to the town of Pai which is where the owner originally opened her first curry house. Make reservations 48 hours in advance or expect to way when you get there. I recommend going early for best availability.
