Been here quite a few times and still one of my favourite downtown restaurant. The place is cozy and charming. Food is amazing. Friendly staff and portions are generous.
Highly recommended their Chiang Mai Shred with Lime, Coriander Vinaigrette; Ping Gai; Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai; Thai Spicy Chicken Peanut Noodle bowl. The rest of the menu is also good.

One of my favourite restaurants in the city, been going to it since the late 80s. The food is tremendous

Stellar, signature, Ping Gai Chicken. Needed a second dipping sauce bowl. Fantastic rotating desserts. Nice bar.

If you haven’t been here yet…..I can’t say enough of the food quality and love for this restaurant. Tonight we were spoiled with the Cosmic Burger and Pin Gai Chicken. Followed by a raspberry cheesecake and carrot cake. Do not under estimate this restaurant. It surpassed all of our expectations and we laughed at how orgasmic our bites were. They could easily charge double for this quality of food. Thank you for the amazing meal.

Been here a few times since it was close to work. Food is pretty good and there is a variety on the menu to be able to pick something you like.

4.5 stars. Great spot. Well worth a visit. My new spot for comfort food in downtown Toronto. Portion was a little cheap, and didn’t come with a proper soup spoon, but otherwise amazing.
Really enjoyed our meals. Comfort food. Highly recommend this place for any occasion.

Ordered the Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai - it was terrible, the worse I have had in years...the chicken was precooked chicken, all 3 shrimps were the small frozen kind and the sauce tasted like ketchup..I DO NOT recommend this dish unless you like terrible food....Service was good and so was atmosphere, place has not changed at all, it is like going back in time....

A tried and true Toronto establishment! If you’re looking for a place that captures the charm and history of Queen Street West, with good food, relaxed vibes, and a bit of soul Queen Mother Cafe is a gem worth visiting. Nestled in a 165-year-old building since, it feels like a comfortable “home away from home”. The food strikes a great balance between comforting regular dishes and bold Southeast Asian flavours, it has something for everyone, and the portions are beyond generous (the ping gai for example, will feed two). Highly recommend the pad Thai, ping gai, dumplings and samosas, but anything on the menu is excellent!

Their Ping Gai chicken is the best. Tried their Red snapper... it is good as well. Customer is good and the Atmosphere is alive and loud.
Love this spot for brunch and dinner!
