Thaiphon

Such a treasure! The restaurant is fewly populated which makes for a quiet environment. The food is extraordinary and you only have to wait a maximum of 10 minutes for it to arrive. Also great to take-​away!
I don’t know why so few people come to this restaurant

Not very good food, General Tao is hard, no actual chicken; just batter, but is the only option in the area if looking for Asian (Canadian) inspired food.

awful. came here on the cold day because we wanted to grab something that was close to campus. Since I’m a fan of sushi inbox next door, thought i would give Thaiphon a chance (since im a huge fan of thai food). Upon entering, the price seemed to be pretty full with alot of business people and students, so i figured that it couldnt be very bad. EXCEPT, i was WRONG.
My friends ordered the general tao, chicken pad thai and i had the flat rice noodles with beef. What kind of thai place has general tao on their menu? The place was clearly owned by chinese people (no offense cuz i love my chinese people) but the food was just AWFUL. Even the general tao, it was soaked in sauce but the chicken was not crispy at all. The general tao came with rice, a sad little salad on the side (completely bland) and crap tons of sauce with very little chicken pieces. I’ve had better general tao chicken at thai express. The chicken pad thai was not any better, the noodles were soggy and drenched in sauce with less than 5 pieces of chicken. My rice noodles with beef was the best of the bunch, but not by much. It was very blend and mediocre. again, the pad see ew at Thai Express was way better.
Thaiphon, if you’re going to serve chinese food, you might as well do the good job at serving chinese food.
& oh and the price, ranges between $ 10−15/dish. not horrible but the quality of the food definitely doesn’t measure up.

Friendly Thai restaurant with average prices and a big menu. They’ve got a lot of seating as well as a take-​out option.
The food isn’t that special. Some dishes are good, but nothing really mind-​blowing — more like regular pan-​Asian dishes than rich, flavorful Thai. The soups are pretty good — nothing special about the won tons, but I like both the regular won ton soup and the meal-​size won ton with noodles. (Good choice for a cold or rainy day!) The imperial rolls are served hot out of the fryer, nice and crunchy on the outside. The only main dishes I’ve had that are consistent are the vegetable pad Thai and the beef in black bean sauce. Everything else I’ve tried is hit or miss, and some of the dishes could have a little more meat in them — I like rice, but I don’t plan on ordering it as a main.
The staff are friendly, though: I’ve been a few times in mid-​afternoon and they were happy to take my order even though they were probably tired from the lunch rush.
