Eathai

Same friendly faces from «Thai To Go» on Gerrard in Regent Park (now closed, staff are at this location, same owner). Same good Pad Thai. A little bit out of the way but I can see myself coming here when I’m in the mood for the best Pad Thai I have had in the city to date.
I did try the green curry, wasn’t impressed. I stick to the Pad Thai.
I have not tried any other dishes.

One star for the phone order service (courteous) and one for the delivery (prompt).
IMHO, Pad Thai is the indicator of what one might expect from a Thai restaurant overall for taste and freshness.
Reviewers have gone on about the authenticity of this particular restaurants’ offerings but really, what does authentic mean if your not sitting in Bangkok but East York, On? It means the same as the Canadian sitting in Bangkok ordering an «authentic» North American breakfast. (Girl is shaking her head whilst writing this review). Anyway the Pad Thai I recently sampled at Eathai didn’t bring to mind any of the accolades attributed to it by the reviews written herewithin save for the few who mentioned the words tasteless and dull. Sadly, they were an accurate call or at least for our choices this evening.
The best part of tearing into the delivery bags is inhaling the glorious fusion of citrus-​y spices while the mouth waters in anticipation but the absence of any detectable aroma upon opening our bags should have tipped me off instantly.
Spring rolls although a good size, were greasy and tasteless — an overused adjective for which I apologize but nonetheless on point. Both shrimp and the vegetarian versions of the managers recommended pad Thai wholly lacked any of the, ahem, authentic flavours synonymous with the Thai food experience. I detected nary a hint of lemon grass, tamarind, garlic or chili nor was there a slice of fresh lime or lemon to squeeze over the clump of sticky noodles. My brother’s pad se ew chicken elicited a mournful eeew! As another reviewer has mentioned, this dish is overpowered by hot spice but little flavour. Finally, what better way to cool and refresh the palate between bites of the main dishes than a crisp mango salad? Consistent disappointment was the theme tonite when faced with a mound of too sweet, over ripe mango, a few limp slices of red pepper, onions … and yet hadn’t someone here written in her review that her boyfriend was «obsessed with the mango salad»?
The price point for this food is surprisingly low but then so was the experience.
I might be done so I’ll sum it up with a shrug and yikes!

Terrible food. I ordered pad Thai and holy basil chicken, and it was the most tasteless food I ever had. I’ll never be going back there again. Awful!

I did #FoodieFriday with Toronto Common recently. We were invited to Eathai, which is a quaint restaurant near Coxwell station. The first thing we got to try were their Thai iced teas. The drink has a chai taste to it and is simply delicious. I recommend you try it at least once if you are ever in a Thai restaurant that serves it.
Afterwards, we were given an array of appetizers and main dishes to taste. My favourites were the Spicy Green Curry Chicken and Pad Thai. We weren’t able to finish everything so I took the rest back to my boyfriend’s place. My boyfriend obsessed over the Mango Salad. If you are a fruit person, give this dish a try. The Cashew Nut Sauce Chicken ended up being quite popular with him and his family.
Eathai has a variety of dishes that would appeal to everyone’s palate (I know because my boyfriend is so picky with his food!). If you are ever in East York or live nearby, I say you should drop by and try this homely restaurant out.

I was going to give this a 1 star review, but upped it to 2 for the service. First of all, most of the photos posted are by the restaurant and professionally taken. The food does not look like that. We were told that the Eathai Pad Thai was no longer available although it was highly recommended. The fresh rolls look nothing like the pictures — instead was «dull» containing ALOT of iceberg lettuce! No flavour. The staff however was friendly and accommodating.

Had their takeout for the third time today – again surpassed our expectations. Most courteous service ever and the dishes were clearly prepared and packaged with care. Don’t stick exclusively to the Thai– the beef and Chinese broccoli was to die for. And the calamari appetizer is a must for the price.

the price is ok for the lunch special, I wouldn’t pay regular price. Pad see ew was just spicy with no flavors besides soya sauce. If you’re at the corner of o’connor and coxwell and need thai food immediately then give this a shot.
I’m not sure whether the other reviewers are shilling or just have never eaten good Thai food at all. There are much better options in the Toronto for roughly same price.
