This place is amazing. Friendly service and great food... and a beautiful patio too! The Ping Gai is ridiculously good, so good that it makes it difficult to try different dishes.

I’ve been here many times over the years and had a few bad experiences early on but in the last year it’s been amazing, the food and service are both great and I’m thankful for how allergy aware they are as a vegan and a celiac!

When it works, it just works, and the Queen Mother Works well and has done so for decades. In a rapidly changing world, in a Queen Street that is barely recognizable, this place has endured, this place has remained the same as long as I can remember. Excellent menu, the Ping Gai Chicken is one of my all time favourite dishes in the world, and tastes the same today as it did 20 + years ago. Great staff , great atmosphere , a good place to go read a book and eat , to gaze out the window or for a romantic date .Dietary restrictions: Excellent GF choices on a very good menu.Kid-friendliness: Treated my daughter like gold.
Recommended dishes: Ping Gai Chicken, Pad Thai

We have been going to Queen Mother since it opened and have always been pleased with both the food and service. It is always a treat to come downtown and have a meal here.

Pros- nice cozy environment and interior- one can get all types of food here- Chinese- Thai- continental- Pasta-Burger-Phad Thai noodles- lentil soup- dim sum…etc.. taste is goodCons- Menu is misleading- their spicy menu item is not spicy at all rather they are sweet- Though taste is great but not spicy for sure, they should remove”spicy” from menu item name.Vegetarian options: Instead of chicken they have Tofu option.

I've visited this place numerous times, and each time has been nothing short of fantastic. The food is consistently among the best in town, and the service is always fast and incredibly friendly. The Ping Gai chicken and rice dish is particularly outstanding and stands out as my favorite chicken dish in the entire town. I'm eagerly anticipating returning for another visit, especially to enjoy the even friendlier atmosphere on the patio

Great asian inspired café with lots of interesting food options! Don't be afraid if the food options you are interested in says spicy, you could say it's canadian spicy ?

This place is an absolute staple in Toronto. I have been going to this restaurant since 1993. I love the roti, pad-thai and ping guy chicken. All dishes are always fresh and tasty. Also, the deserts at this place are absolutely must! It's one of the best in town. Place is always busy ,I think that speaks for itself. If you are in Toronto, I say it is a must. I love upscale dining and fancy steak houses in Toronto, but I also love going to this place. Different atmosphere, great food, and nice patio for lovely summer nights. Prices are also ? great.

I’m pretty offended. I forgot my wallet so I didn’t have my dogs service card.Not only is it inappropriate to ask, I told her I had a picture of the service card and we’ll take a small corner or back table (there was an empty section. She said no sorry you can’t dine here because you don’t have the physical copy. I have never had this issue in toronto and I am at a cafe down the street and they gave me no issue. He is a small dog, not even like he’s a larger dog.Very disappointed.This was the asian lady with black hair working behind the bar (I forgot to ask her name)The younger guy was very kind to us but she wasn’t.
