Stars of Thai Cuisine

I went here for lunch a few days ago. The service was super speedy which was nice, and the prices were not bad. All the lunch special options were sub $ 10.
I ordered the Nasi Goreng which i was very disappointed by. The fried rice was greasy and the egg was rubbery. The chicken and shrimp were essentially undistinguishable. I’ve had better nasi goreng at non-​asian restaurants — I didn’t even finish it.
My boss ordered ginger beef which was pretty good. The spring roll and sauce were very good, and i suspect that I ordered the wrong item. Next time, I’ll try something thai.

Dropped by on a Saturday afternoon for quick bite with the wife.
Here’s my review:
Ambience: non-​existent. No music. No staff but the 1 person. And, no one inside at noon on a Saturday.
Food: good size, but average tasting.
Service: very average. The server was quite awkward and didn’t really interact much.
Overall, I doubt I’d be back.

It’s nice here. The server is always happy and cheerful. Go here if you don’t want a crowded place. They also have halal options

My team and I decided to come here for a team lunch — we ordered a variety of dishes from the lunch menu. You get a choice of soup or salad on the side, but neither seemed all that great. We all noticed that there wasn’t much seasoning in everything we ordered. I personally got the veggie tofu dish (forget the exact name) with soup on the side — the rice was mostly plain, soup was really bland. I would say add your own seasoning and sauce on top and it should be okay. For the price it was good value, though.

I was hoping to give them more stars but slow service and poor quantity took that away. I was going to give 3 stars, but food was not bad. love beef on stick, green curry, and soup. They serve Halal. we were party of 5 adults, and 6 kids cost around $ 150 which is high for lunch. but all in all not bad

This is not Tai food, not even Chinese food! Spend $ 13 for one order of not fresh rich noodle. Who is going use deep fried Chk in noodle? Where the 3 stars came from?

Some hits and misses for my visit.
Part of the Afternoon Dealite meal for $ 11.95 you get a pumpkin coconut milk soup. Wow, did I ever love the soup. Had a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk and just overall great flavour. The actual Afternoon Dealite meal itself was only so so. It came with a shrimp, chicken and beef skewers. I found the meat to be soft and mushy. Shrimps had no bounce in the meat. The peanut dipping sauce for the skewers was really think and just didn’t like the flavour of the sauce itself. However, the sweet and sour dipping sauce for the spring roll was really good on the other hand.
Also tried the green curry with chicken and rice for $ 8.95 + $ 3.25 for mango salad. The salad itself was really good. Mango was sweet and fresh but I found it lacking when compared to the mango salad I had at Linda Modern Thai Cuisine. The curry sauce had the sweetness of the coconut milk which I liked but thats all I really liked about it. The chicken meat itself was another so so.
There were not too many customers when I went for lunch so service was very efficient.
Overall a good meal for an affordable price.

If you want authentic Thai food, come here. Quality of curry met expectations. Not very busy most likely due to location, but good food!

Some of the best Thai cuisine in the GTA. Highly recommended. I’m not sure why this restaurant has three stars and not 4 or 5. Don’t be discouraged by the plain red/​white sign. My experience has been nothing but positive. As a plus, their vegetarian food is terrific and they have a very veggie friendly, knowledgeable staff. They will substitute chicken broth to make it vegetarian, something that very few restaurants do. Try their ginger tea!

My friend ordered food and had it delivered to my place and BOY. I ended up EATING almost all of it! Best coconut curry chicken I have had from any Thai restaurant! When I am in the mood for Thai again, this will be my go to place! I want to try the rice paper veggie rolls and there crunch spring rolls next! The rice and chicken was amazing!

A colleague and I were looking for a thai restaurant in the area for lunch. I love Thai food, this is the worst pad thai I ever had it was boiled noodles basically with no flavour my coworker had the red curry and was very disappointed. I will not be returning here ever again I am so disappointed with how flavourless it was

I usually find the food here fresh and well made. Nothing completely amazing, but consistent and reasonably good food.
Unlike some fast food chinese places, I do not get a strange aftertaste after eating here or feel sick afterwards, even if I overeat.
The food also usually tastes good the next day when I have leftovers.

I finally visited this place with my sister tonight. We have opt for the combination offer which u can pick from a list
Which include a choice of salad or soup and a rice. I have ordered the basil chicken and my sister ordered the pangnang beef. The soup of the day is lemongrass soup. The soup is very spicy but is tasted pretty good. The basil chicken is alright, I should have pick a curry dish. But on the other side the pangnang beef my sister ordered was aweful. The dish was very fragrant, will def order that again next time. In addition to the main course, we have also order then crispy pumpkin prawn. It is pretty much a springroll dish, and I don’t really see where is the pumpkin in this dish…
The dishes all came out piping hot and ingredients were all freshly prepared.

In Markham and decided to stop by for a bite to eat. OMG where to begin… so much selection on their menu. started off with Chicken Wonton Soup… Mmmm! delicious. We followed with Spring rolls again mouth watering. food is freshly cooked. Our next dish General Tso chicken with mixed vegetables. what I love are the medley of spices delecately combined and not overpowering. Service was good and staff friendy. The atmosphere was relaxing. will be back again. I call this place «A Diamond in the Rough»

This place was empty as hell on a Friday night! Food was ok. Mango salad plus curry beef rice dinner 13.50. Chicken pad Thai 12.50 ish. To me taste the same as going to the food court, but eatting smaller portion here. Though I guess taste a lot healthier. Wouldn’t go back again. the service is kinda odd too, first thing they asked when we sat down is, seperate bills? and they did that to every table that came in.

I went on a Friday night and it was empty — only 1 other table beside us.
Overall, the atmosphere is not bad but it was dark in there. The food itself is not bad. Got the Curry and pad thai — but for the price I was paying I expected better and more. The portion small. Also, the waitress was kind of rude and I was with only my gf and the first thing they ask me is if we want separate bills in this broken english.
I would not go back as there is many more options that is better than this in Markham/​Richmond Hill area. This place doesn’t stand out in any way that would make me go back.

So we walked into this place. No air conditioning. Just fans around trying to help circulate the hot humid air. My first instinct was to leave.
But we were hungry and said whatever. This is how hot Thailand feels like. we laughed. :)
Prior to deciding on the restaurant we did a quick check on the mobile Unilocal app. Reviews for the place appeared to be mixed. Some really enjoyed it and some didn’t dig it all. Upon entering the place we saw a trip advisor sticker on the door too. Bonus we thought.
We decided on two dishes to share along with a couple of bowls of rice.
First dish;
Panang Curry (chicken) — dry, rich and think with small amounts of coconut milk different from Red curry where that is more saucy.
Second dish;
Chicken with Peanut Sauce — sliced chicken breast cooked in a rich peanut sauce accompanyed with bamboo shoots and long beans.
Okay without getting into a long story here are the points.
The taste is more Chinese than Thai.
The lime soda was nice as they used freshly squeezed limes.
Heard some spanish guitar music in the background which was wierd. Thai music would be a more suitable choice.
Way too liberal with bamboo shoots in the dishes, would like to see them add more beans and peppers as noted in the menu description.
Initial taste Bland. I couldn’t really describe the food at first bite. We looked at each other for reaction and agreed there was no particular sweetness, sour, spicy or salty taste. felt off as if the dishes were missing ingredients.
Strong fish sauce taste/​smell in the Panang Curry — had not had else where. Not good.
Peanuts could be fresher, kind of tasted rancid.
Positives: the décor — nice bambo entrance way, paintings on the wall leatherbound menus, and subtle touches like serving utensils were wooden, fork and spoon were huge but twist detailing .
This was an honest critique. I hope the restaurant can take the suggestions and improve in delivering the rest of the dining experience. Looks and ambiance only go so far. I’m here for the food too.

I’ve driven by this place many many times but decided to try it because of the Unilocal rating (4).
I agree that the service is friendly and helpful, which made our experience really enjoyable.
The spicy mango fish was excellent. Fresh fish perfectly fried with sweet and spice mango sauce. How can you go wrong?
I’ll certainly come back again especially with the $ 10 coupon they give us.

Just got back from lunch here. First off, let me preface my review with some background on me: I’ve been looking for an authentic Thai restaurant for the past few years, since I went to the north of Thailand on vacation and was blown away by all the food there, particularly the street food. It would seem that Thai food in Toronto is what Chinese food in Toronto used to be 30 years ago… chicken balls and red sauce. We have yet to start serving the «real stuff».
Anyway, we get here and the service was prompt and friendly. I noticed that the staff are all spoke Cantonese. We both ordered a lunch special: main course with 2 veggie spring rolls and soup of the day for $ 9.95. For the amount of food you get and the quality, it’s worth it.
The soup was a coconut vegetable soup. It was salty and sour and super hot (temperature). It would be a disappointment for the vegetarians out there, as it was made with chicken broth. I had the basil chicken, while my coworker had the curry beef. Both were pretty good, but nothing amazing.
The place looked very nice, and would be a good place to have a lunch meeting with clients. Otherwise, we probably won’t be returning anytime soon.

I drove by Stars of Thai Cuisine at least 100s of time! I never even know it exist! Thanks for fellow Unilocalers in helping me to discover this gem!
We were here for dinner on a Sunday night at 7:30 pm, there was only 1 other table.
My dinner mate is getting antsy… «should we leave?» «No! we have to eat here, I need to Unilocal about it!» (I hope my fellow Unilocalers won’t disappoint me!)
We order the mini appeitizer ($ 12.95)/Golden curry with Beef ($ 11.95)/Spicy Mango Fish ($ 12.95) to share.
The mini appetitizer comes with green mango salad/​chicken and beef satay/​spring rolls/​crispy dumplings. I have to say that all of them tasted good! The spring rolls and dumplings though deep fried are not oily at all! The satays both so tender not burnt! The peanut sauce for dipping one of the best I have. not heavy with chunks of peanuts (I was eating it all by itself. it is that tasty!) and the mango salad has the perfect herbs and coriander roots!!!
The Spicy Mango fish is on the Chef’s Menu written on the chalkboard. The fish they used is so fresh. It was lightly battered and fried and top with the fresh mango and thai sauce. Beware of little chopped chilli peppers in the sauce. I love them but it can be deadly for people that are not into spicy food!
Golden Curry Beef, not really spicy. But the beef are really tender. I can tell they use good cut of beef. I can eat 2 bowels of rice with the curry sauce.
For dessert, there are only 2 choices. Mango with Sticky Rice or Fried Banana with Lychee ice cream. Fried Banana it is. I have to tell you Lychee ice cream for sure is a better match to fried banana then vanilla ice cream! YUMMY!
Service here is friendly and prompt.
They accepts all credit cards.
I will be back to try out their lunch specials for $ 9.95 too! (that comes with spring roll and soup of the day)
