Thai Villa

This restaurant used to be one of my favourite. However, things have changed. The severs are no longer the same. The food is anything but Thai. It is neither Malaysian nor Singaporean. You might as well eat at a cheap Chinese joint and be more satisfied. Our table was not cleaned from a previous customer’s mess and we had to ask for someone to change the table cloth which had food all over it. We asked for warm water. They gave us boiling hot water which had traces of leftover tea in the pot. We ordered basil chicken and had to search for chicken pieces as there was more tofu than meat. Quantities was not too large too. I wish I could say something good about this place, but then this would not be an honest review. No I won’t be going back here. Sad to see this place go downhill.
I spoke to the owner about it. She stated that the changes were made to suit the tastes of the clientele. Hmm! Why would I enter a Thai restaurant if I wanted Chinese food… especially in the York region where every third restaurant is Chinese?

Went here for lunch and was instantly greeted by what I assume was one of the owners. A real happy guy, biggest smile I’ve ever seen when going into a restaurant.
Ordered a curry and pad thai off their lunch specials. Great flavours, taste and the atmosphere is an elaborate thai design that most thai places do wrong. This isn’t tacky, it looks good.
Good fragrance, aromas, and nice décor. Comfortable seating and pricing not outrageous. Good spot right off the highway.

I’m not particularly impressed with this place. Sadly out of lack of food choices in the area I decided to try it. They have lunch specials that are under $ 10 but I didn’t like what I had — basil beef. It was ok, lacking depth of flavour. The rice also seemed like it wasn’t the freshest. The portion size was pretty good but I honestly didn’t finish it because I just couldn’t.
The décor is really nice — but décor shouldn’t overrule taste. Staff are friendly and will give you information or advice on food if you need it. A few reviewers have said their curries are good so maybe I will try this place again to try them.

First visit, not the last. Went with friends for lunch. We shared the five spice chicken (crunchy, a bit spicy, absolutely delicious), ginger beef (sweet, crunchy, also delicious), and roti canai (the curry was the BEST!!). We were treated to complimentary deep fried bananas which were perfectly made. The new management here is extremely hospitable and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Will be back soon.

I personally really love Thai food which makes me a really picky eater as well when it comes to Thai. This place has comfortable seating and great atmosphere. Waitress are nice and surroundings and great and clean. Their food is just so delicious not to mention their curry, grilled chicken, pineapple fried rice and not but not least mango sticky rice!!! I love this place !

I visited this place yesterday and stayed for only half the meal until I had to leave. In the short while I was there, I had some of the ginger beef and fried calamari and both were delicious, though the ginger beef was much sweeter than a traditional Asian dish would be. Service was good, and their decorations are charming. I’d come here again.

We had been going to this restaurant for quite a while and really liked the food.
a group of 6 were in on Thursday, March 26^th 2015 and had a nice evening until the bills came. BUYER BEWARE! their menus state one price and your bill will be at least 51 cents higher per item. They make no effort to identify this at all. In fact when we questioned it, the gentleman that identified himself as Tim, was rude and insulting and not at all apologetic. told us that he would go bankrupt if he didn’t raise his prices. ANd after all, we can afford it! WHAT??? well he got even ruder and he told us to sue him and gave us his business card. How insulting! There are now at least 6 people along with most of their friends that WILL NEVER set foot in this restaurant again. Someone should fine him under the Competition Bureau Act, Section 74.05. First offence up to $ 750,000!!!

This is one of our favourite restaurants and we have been going there since they opened. I have never been to Thailand, so I cannot say if their food is“authentic” or not, but we have been to many Thai restaurants all around the GTA and this one is far and above the best in our opinion. Great lunch specials all for under $ 10 and include, spring roll, soup and drink along with your lunch. Owners/​Employees are very nice, courteous folks and they serve faster than McDonalds! We go here at least 3 times a month and only once have we had to wait for our food. Excellent quality ingredients too. The beef is always tender, unlike some other Thai places I have been to who skimp on quality.

Hidden in a cluster of takeout joints, Thai Villa is more than it appears. When you first walk in, the décor is classy and clean. The lunch specials (like Pad Thai or Ginger Beef) are well worth it compared to the generous portions given. The staff are always friendly and you can always call and order in advance for a convenient pick up if you work or live in the area. If you’re in the area this place is a reliable way to satisfy your Thai craving.

Soup was gross and cold and they wouldn’t substitute it for a different one. Green curry was very spicy and was not enjoyable because of all the spice. The staff had their lunch in the main dining area and we needed some water but didn’t want to interrupt their meal by asking them. Very weird dining experience, fair to poor food… Highly NOT recommended.

Sad to say this wasn’t even near expectations. The food is not very Thai, but more Chinese. Everything was super sweet.
We arrived at 8:25 and after being seated we were advised that the kitchen closed at 8:30. From there on it was a big rush. The food was even rushed.
I would not recommend this place to anyone nor would I return for authentic Thai cuisine

We love this place, genuine taste of the cuisines and great service

2^nd time here and the service was excellent both times. The stingray can be ordered a few days before and it’s just fantastic. All other dishes are very authentic. I personally prefer this over Restoran Malaysia.

I went to Thai Villa for lunch and had a good experience. The waitress was friendly and recognized my friends (who are regulars) right away and knew what they wanted to order. I had the squash and coconut soup which wasn’t really coconutty enough but maybe that is how it is supposed to be, I’m not a Thai cuisine expert. The place is tastefully decorated and is very clean. It is located in one of those badly designed mega-​plazas but there is lots of free parking. I’m sure I’ll be back at some point because they are located close to where I work and the prices are very reasonable.

Thai Villa looks like a takeout joint located inside one of those mega plaza that has super sized every stores…
But once you walk in and you will be amazed by the nicely decorated interior with all these authentic Thai deco.
Lunch Specials for $ 8.25 mostly a rice dish but good value as it comes with soup, spring rolls and a drink…
Singapore Laksa ($ 9.99) as usual caught my eyes. Not surprisingly it is not as good as the ones I had in Singapore. But adding extra sambal sauces does makes it a lot more tastier!
Lunch Specials — Beef Curry with Rice does have the heat. The beef was first fried then cooked in the sauce so still tender. The spiciness of this dish made my friend face turned all red and sweating. Eating this definitely good for him because it has so much vegetables inside!
The menu here is extensive, maybe just too extensive! As usual is hard to prepare a good version of that many dishes. Talk to the friendly staffs, they will definitely give you some helpful suggestion!
