Food was somewhat mediocre, lacking in any rich or interesting flavors. Also, the restaurant was very noisy with a cooking class taking place in the dining area. Having a separate room in the restaurant for this would be a better idea. On the flip-side, the dining interior was cozy and nicely decorated.

Amazing Thai food ! His owner Allan was an amazing hostess .. He sit with us and was so kind to explained all the menu and best seller dishes ! After a lovely dinner , he took us to the kitchen and we met the chef and all their staff ! Thanks for shared this amazing experience with us in Toronto !!
Our Thai go to place in Toronto! Such a gem. The vibes are great, staff is friendly, and the food is phenomenal; huge portions too! Every time someone visits the city, we take them for dinner at Mengrai Thai.

Mengrai Thai presents as a spirited sanctuary of authentic Siamese cuisine, delivering genuine flavors with unflinching commitment to traditional preparations. This establishment earns its reputation through culinary integrity rather than theatrical affectation.
The menu traverses classical Thai canon with competence: pad thai demonstrates properly balanced acid and umami; curries showcase the judicious use of coconut's richness without dominating aromatic profiles. Tom yum broths achieve that essential complexity—simultaneously bright and profound—that distinguishes accomplished Thai preparation from mediocre approximations.
The establishment's strength lies in its restraint: each component maintains distinct identity rather than collapsing into undifferentiated fusion. Proteins arrive properly cooked, vegetables retain textural dignity, and sauces complement rather than overwhelm. The kitchen demonstrates technical proficiency across a broad spectrum of preparations.
The dining environment embraces modest authenticity—unpretentious décor, efficient service rhythm, and lack of pretension create an honest framework for food-centric appreciation. The pricing reflects democratic accessibility without compromising ingredient quality or preparation care.

Amazing food! Even better hosts and literally the best Thai restaurant ever. 10/10. The red curry with Lychee and Pineapple was such a unique flavour profile, absolutely loved it!!

Very dissapointed. I just ate the blandest Thai food I've ever eaten in my life. No flavor. This is not authentic Thai food. Everything tasted like it can from a can. No love, no joy was used preparing this food. I had red curry beef. Chicken pad thai. Mango sticky rice was just horrible. I cannot express how dissapointed I am spending my money on such flavourless food. Service was good but the food was bad. Will not be returning. A sad and very disappointed customer.

The dining experience here is really incredible. The food is delightful and delicately flavoured. Every dish is an experience you don’t want to miss.
I loved the variety of vegan and vegetarian options though I am neither, it made ordering so simple for the ones in our group who were.
The atmosphere is remarkable too. The ambiance. The friendliness and service of the staff was such that it felt as if we were truly special guests. The owner came out and presented our options in his energetic and entertaining way showing pictures and name dropping his famous repeat customers’ choices. We laughed and indulged in the various dishes and well I just can’t hyping this place to anyone and everyone who will listen.
A truly special place with incredible offerings. I will be going back again and again and looking forward to trying new dishes and enjoying my favourites from last night’s selections too.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant🙏 Every single dish was delicious fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they put care into their food. The owner was incredibly welcoming and showed such great hospitality. He made us feel like guests in his home, not just customers. It’s rare to see this level of kindness and attention these days. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a warm atmosphere. Definitely coming back 😍😍
A hidden gem with the loveliest staff. The staff were so accommodating, making it easy for my husband and I to try everything without compromise. Fantastic Thai food.

Goes without saying the food is great, even my lofty Toronto Thai standards - the soups, mains and the items that are not on the menu.
Allan is a great host who will take out time to personally recommend items - something you don't see many owners do.

This place is awesome! So much fun! The owner is lovely had a blast talking with him. The food is perfect what you want from an authentic Thai restaurant. Every bite is delicious from the appetizers to the deserts at a perfect price. This place is a must go to for a good time with friends and family. Such a welcoming experience I would go to this restaurant not just for the food but for the time you have there.
Toronto has really great Thai Food but this was hands down the best of all the Thai places I have been in the city. Food that one will definitely crave!
It was a weekday and not very busy when we went. Place was has a very quiet and eclectic atmosphere.
Allan (owner) is defiantly a great host and entertainer which added to the whole experience.
We had the red curry lychee. it came in a pineapple which was unique and added to the taste. - highly recommended.
Allan recommended crispy mango chicken which was not on the menu and that was also amazing.
The place is reasonably priced as well hence a great contendor to take your guests from out of town.
