Hot Mama Noi's Thai On The Fly

Honestly is a hidden gem located in pickering! The pad see ew is delicious and everything always consistently tastes divine. I’d also recommend the Tom yum soup and spring rolls!

Not since I've returned from the tasty streets of Bangkok have I found a Thai dish in the Greater Toronto Area that fully replicated my Thai food experience. Well that time has come to an end thanks to Hot Mama Noi's in Pickering. I ordered the Chicken Spicy Basil $10) which was described as chicken with basil, bell peppers, onions, and a pinch of Thai chili served with steamed Thai rice. The appearance of the dish brought me back to the Chatuchak Weekend Market I visited during my travels. The unreal balance of flavour and heat is exactly what I have been looking for. The combination of ingredients was perfect. As I had greeted the staff in Thai, the chef came to speak with me and we both shared some stories about our love for Thai street food. I can't wait to go back! I will probably go back tomorrow. Go to Mama Noi's on Bayly :P

I absolutely love this place. The food is truly authentic Thai cuisine made with fresh ingredients and served with a smile. My only gripe is that I wish they had a liquor license so I could enjoy a beer with my pad thai. Nevertheless, this restaurant is top-notch for delicious Thai dishes.

Best Thai in the GTA. I love Thai food, I mean LOVE IT!!!! I discovered Hot Mama Noi's a few years back and hold all other thai food up to Mama Noi's standard. So far nothing I have had, has come close to comparable. She cooks everything from scratch using real ingredients and traditional recipes and cooking methods from Thailand. The Red Curry is the best I've had and at absolutely amazing prices. In addition to great food, you can expect great atmosphere from a very kind and friendly staff, and if you are lucky you will even get to chat with Hot Mama Noi herself. It is a deceiving restaurant from the outside, the decor inside is slowly improving over the years, but you don't go to Mama's for the ambiance, you go for the most flavourful and balanced Thai food around. If you live in Toronto it is worth the drive (or Go train ride as it is right next to the station) to Pickering for a great Thai meal.

Our #1 fav weekly lunchtime destination. If you work in the area and don't regularly eat at HMNTOTF, get out of my face.
