Thai Bistro - North York

I used to order take-out frequently from Thai Bistro and was very disappointed to discover that they had closed down. I particularly miss their Pad Thai dish.

I was initially hesitant to visit this restaurant after reading reviews about the unpredictable behavior of one particular individual that many patrons mentioned.

If you are someone who appreciates fast service and delicious food at quick-service restaurants, but isn't too concerned about presentation, then this is the perfect spot for you.

I've ordered take-out from this place a few dozen times in the past 3 years. Best meal I can find for 10 bucks. But really I recommend ordering 4 or more dishes and mixing them + steamed rice. The dishes on their own are already very flavorful but when you combine them you get flavorgeddon. They will open late, close early and sometimes outright discourage you from ordering because they are closing soon (even though I called like 2 hours before official closing time). The place doesn't look like much, in fact from the outside it looks slightly condemned but I've yet to disappointed with food quality or flavour.

This is a small mom and pop hole in the wall that has been there for many many years. I finally tried it and was pleasantly surprised.I friend and I arranged to meet and grab some takeout lunch. He had tried them previously. The door stayed locked until about 12:05 and a crowd formed waiting to dash in. They quickly divided the take out crowd and seated the rest. They mostly had tables for 4 with lots of 2's showing up. The restauraunt was full within about 5 minutes.I ordered the hot and sour soup along with the chicken and shrimp pad thai. Turned out to be too much food for lunch. They provided the hot sauce and crumbled nuts on the side. Both dishes were tasty and a good value for about $16.I will return.
