California Thai

Typical Asian mall food. Greasy, mildly flavourful, quick service. Nothing great. Weird name. No Thai food on the menu.

I am surprised that most people give 2 stars or worse. My expectation is not high so that I am really happy about my noodle soup. Have visited 3 – 5 times and never get disappointed. The flavor and portion are quite consistent. Beef in the soup is well marinated and juicy. The broth is rich flavoured. Service is fast and there is always a line during lunch at least based on my experience. Generous portion, fair price, fast service, I am not expecting more from a Chinese food court service.

I just paid $ 10 for «Salad Medley». It was a plate of cut up mangoes with nothing else. No dressing, no peppers or basil. Just mangoes, unripe mangoes. And the side of chicken which was 50% fat.
Aweful.

Oh My God! Don’t even bother… the worst food ever. Nothing Thai tasting, the noodles are just soy sauce and some vegetable. The spicy chicken, meh! The spring roll is a joke. Waste of money.

Plenty of 2 star reviews, mainly complaining about the name
Now I’m not an expert when it comes to Thai food. All I know is that I was hungry and the lady let me sample few of their meats and I personally liked the one in the picture below as it was juicy and unsweetened.
If you are looking for authentic Thai dishes then I suggest that you look somewhere else other than a food court!

Why would they use the word ‘Thai’ is beyond me. Save for a few minor variations this place is just like any other Chinese joint in any food court.
Nothing noteworthy warranting a detailed review.

Their quality has decreased a lot recently and they have raised their prices. As other reviewers mentioned it’s an Asian restaurant with very limited Thai selection.

They recently added a new food court at North York City Centre. California Thai is one fast food restaurants here.
Personally, I think it’s a stretch to call this Thai food. They do have some typical Thai items like Pad Thai and green curry, but for the most part this place is remarkably similar to the Manchu Wok on the other side of the food court.
Now, for the bad parts.
I found a piece of metal in my food. It was attached to a piece of chicken. Not cool.
I then kept the chicken in the original container. I intended to bring it back and tell them about it. I didn’t get around to it. After some time passed, we noticed that the chicken wasn’t decomposing.
This turned into an office experiment. It’s now been three months and the «chicken» looks pretty much the same as it does when I bought it.
Maybe some deal I’ll bring the chicken back and show them. They’ll probably just respond with a blank stare. I’ll definitely post pictures here though.

California Thai is part of the new food court in North York City Centre, its your typical «Asian» food that you would normally find in a food court.
I wouldn’t go as far to call it Thai food but I guess whatever floats your boat…
Its acceptable if you are just looking for something quick and easy, depending on when you come the food may or may not be as fresh… who knows how long it has been sitting…
