Not the biggest fan of Thai cuisine, but I enjoyed the food here so it must be a very good spot! My friends who are more enthusiastic about Thai food say it's one of the best they have had, hence the 5 stars. I tried the Khao Soi. The curry was very rich, creamy, and velvety. Highly recommend!

amazing experience. food came very fast and all at once. fast with the drink. the drink was very strong and worth the price for a $35 bucket the starter was delicious and i would recommend it the mains were fairly priced and so amazing and flavourful. greek curry was spicy but had a great taste the panang curry was sweet and went well with the fish i would reccomend this place for a fairly priced night out!

Amazing food for all dietary types. Ordered green thai chili and vegan pad Thai and both were delicious. Chicken and pork skewer appetizers were tender and a perfect texture to enjoy. Drinks were well made. Great staff and atmosphere, highly recommend if in the area!

This place’s flavors are authentic, and every dish is beautifully prepared. The menu offers a great variety, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. A standout for me was their signature appetizer platter —perfectly balanced flavors and generous portions. If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, Pia is a must-visit!

Awesome service staff and atmosphere. Their pork ribs were slightly too dry and the beef could be cut thinner. However the Khao Soi’s flavour was amazing. We also really loved the coconut dessert. Can’t wait to try the platter on our next visit! Update: Tried the platter and it is a must-have! Their Pad Thai was also incredibly flavourful. Would definitely go again!

UM what a spot. This was the first food spot I visited when going to Toronto for the first time and I was absolutely not disappointed. I had heard that it can be difficult to walk in and be seated, but we were able to right away. We ordered a variety of appetizer/table sharers before our main meal - all of the apps were great - from vegetable fried rice to wings, etc. My main meal was the pad gra prow which was recommended by the kind waitress. It was delicious and had just the right amount of spice (base level). The crunch that was added from the crispy pork was soo tasty. Definitely understand why this restaurant is acclaimed. The atmosphere was beautiful, calm and relaxing and the food was delicious. This is the type of restaurant that deserves a Michelin Star.

This place is B-U-S-Y and I totally understand why. The food is just incredible. Full of flavor, quality ingredients, texture, perfect portions. Presentation is beautiful (rice is in cute leaves packages, sorbet is in a coconut). The selection of wine and drinks is very complete, for all tastes. The restaurant is busy and that reflects in the overall ambiance, however, the way the restaurant is laid out manages to make some areas quieter than others. The decor is warm and pretty. Very convenient that the hostess puts your name on a list and you get a text 10 minutes before which gives you time to head there if you didn't stay in the line. Definitely a must if you are looking for incredible food in Toronto.

This was actually a tough one for me! The food was incredible the service was excellent and with the idea of accommodating as many people as possible in the restaurant, I was put into a seat that was fairly tight for a person of my size…. that being said, the atmosphere is really cool but it was tough for me to enjoy the entire experience staring at a stone wall 2 feet from my face. Once again I totally get the need to move customers through and I love the fact that walk in availability is possible otherwise this review would’ve been at least five….. 100% this is not the last time I will be back to this restaurant! It is absolutely incredibly delicious and if you’re on the fence, you absolutely need to go!!! with better seating I’m sure that your experience will absolutely be a five! Thanks again!! Zeke
