Great Thai food. Amazing vegan food! Definitely some of the best vegan food found in the city! Like other reviewers said, plenty of flavor and especially plenty of basil flavor in the gra prao. The vegan versions of the fried egg and fish sauce were appreciated and suit the dish well!

Took the veggie rolls - amazing! The sheet is so soft and their dips are so good. My main course was the “chicken”, tofu and cashews. It was also great, with interesting mushrooms and the chicken nuggets are so incredible. Their service is great as well :)

I ordered the vegan green and red curry. The green one for sure is the winner. So good that’s impossible to not to come back again. The Thai iced tea was also perfectly made that’s not so sweet like other places. Great experience!

อร่อยมากTruly delicious, rich, creative, flavourful, fully loaded with vegetables and well prepared. Finding this very unique Thai restaurant has been one of the highlights of ordering food during the pandemic. Never disapointing, adequate portions, always tasty!

Went there for diner where we previously booked a table for 4. There were not that many tables available for dine in but it seemed like most people did take out. Cute little family owned restaurant where the mother is cooking in the kitchen. I liked the Thai art in the space. We enjoyed our diner very much. The flavors were great, the chef was so innovative and on point with textures. The presentation was beautiful too. You would almost not think you’re eating vegan food. The portions were big. We all enjoyed our Thai iced teas. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The weird thing was that my brother was the only one to be sick after leaving the restaurant. We were unsure if it was from the restaurant or a previous place as none of the other 3 guests present were sick.

Delicious vegan Thai food. The standout dishes for me were the Thom Yum starter soup, the green curry and the Thai tea. The variety of vegan protein available is also impressive and you can tell from the presentation of the dishes that they put a lot of love into their meals. The other dishes were also delightful and I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu! The Pad Thai is a bit on the sweet side I find. The roti is deep fried goodness (delicious for sure) but a bit too oily for me.The restaurant is clean, cosy and quiet. The service is friendly and very prompt. I will definitely be coming back again. Just a note that the bathroom is down a flight of stairs and will not be accessible to wheelchairs!

This place is an absolute gem! Fresh ingredients and such beautiful presentation. One of the best Pad Thai and the best pineapple fried rice I’ve had in Toronto! Highly recommended!

A true hidden gem. We ordered the pineapple fried rice & Panang curry and both were phenomenal. Superb presentation. They serve you a little sample of these delicious crunchy spicy/limey snacks that they also sell in mason jars - highly recommend you buy one on your way out. Staff were super sweet. Fantastic service, exceptional value for the quality of the food. Cannot say enough good things.

Great vegan place with lots of vegan options not often found elsewhere. I got the Pad Thai and while it was a bit expensive for me, the portion was HUGE and is definitely more than one meal for me. Would go back if I'm ever in the area.

I'd ordered from Yaowarat frequently during the pandemic, and it was a delight to finally eat here in person.COVID numbers are very high, so I was worried about eating amongst many guests, but we were the only ones in here. Staff were all masked, and we remained masked when not eating-- it was reassuring to see that they care about the health and safety of their staff and their customers.The food was phenomenal. The presentation was absolutely beautiful. The vegan chicken satay came with vegetable flowers. We got Pad Gra Pao with fried vegan egg and Chu Chee Pla Curry for the mains-- beautiful presentation on these as well. Almost too beautiful to eat!There's a million and one Thai restaurants in Toronto, but the food here is special. It's delicious and rich. The serving sizes are generous. And you can tell that it's made with such care and pride.Chef Joe was the one who served us, and I remarked later to my friend: "I wish she was my mom!". She is so incredibly kind, and you can tell that she puts so much of herself into the food and restaurant. She was the most attentive server, and the kindest conversationalist-- she kept apologising for her English-- which was good!-- and let my speak a little of my Thai to her-- which is bad! (I'm learning!)We were provided with complimentary desserts which aren't on the menu-- mung bean with coconut milk-- and with snacks, also not on the menu. Chef Joe told us that they're going to add new dishes in the next few weeks, and we'll definitely keep an eye out for that.This was legitimately and by far the best dining experience I've ever had. It was such a joy.ขอบคุณหมากค่ะ อาหารอร่อยเเละสวยมาก ❤

I ordered pad Thai and Thai iced tea through a delivery service. The pad Thai was the best I'd ever eaten and packaging was sustainable. This place lives up to the hype. Can't wait to dine in person.

The glowing 5-star reviews left me wanting to check this place out.I am not usually a fan of vegan food in general, but this place is undoubtedly deserving of the 5 star reviews. The food was very good. I had the Pad See Ew, which is a dish I usually go for at Thai restaurants. It was on par with some of the best places I've been to.Food, prices and service we all top quality. Definitely coming back!

Everything we ordered here was delicious. Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians loved dinner. I particularly like the pineapple fried rice. But there wasn’t anything that wasn’t good. Would absolutely recommend this local gem!
