Jatujak

Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Finally an authentic Thai restaurant that I dont have to go all the way to downtown! We ordered the Satay chicken, Pad Kee Mao (lunch special), Khao Soi and two Thai iced tea (one green tea and one red tea).
Satay chicken (appetizer) — it was OK. the chicken was on the drier side but the satay sauce was pretty good.
Pad Kee Mao — it was really good. its probably one of the best I had in Toronto, better than the ones in downtown Toronto. It was quite spicy which I love and you can taste the different spices in the dish.
Khao Soi — it was alright. Had better else where. I find the curry sauce was on a sweeter side, not a fan.
The Thai iced tea — i find the red tea version is better than the green tea version. the green was too sweet, i felt like i was drinking syrup. the red was good though, i would order it again
Overall, great service and the food came out fast. I will come back to their other dishes!

My husband and I went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and the place was empty. We were quickly greeted and seated by a friendly waiter.
We ordered their lunch special and upgraded to their combo (salad, spring roll and drink) for additional $ 2.50. We had:
Basil chicken with rice — it was really good and the ingredients were fresh. I would ask for more heat next time I return back.
Pad Thai — my husband and I find it to be a bit too sweet, but overall a good pad Thai that is not made with ketchup!
Their Thai iced tea has a really nice aromatic taste which I loved, but my husband wasn’t much of a fan. The flavor reminded me a lot of «haw flakes» if that helps at all.
Overall, great service and great authentic Thai food. We will be back!

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant out since I heard about it a couple of weeks ago. It has now become my go to place for authentic Thai food.
I haven’t been to the Kingston location but this one is very clean — rustic feeling to it. It is very welcoming and the service is excellent. There was no wait and food was above and beyond what I expected. The flavours were on point.
I ordered the lunch special which is available on weekends too. I got the Pad Kee Mao (7.95 $), Chicken Curry with steamed rice (7.95 $) and Thai Iced Tea (3.50 $). The Pad Kee Mao was delicious and it is my one of my favourites as I’ve had this dish at other Thai restaurants as well. The Thai Iced Tea was tasty and fairly priced — it’s served in a mason jar which I thought added a modern touch.
I definitely will come back and try their other dishes. It’s both affordable and delicious — plus excellent service and clean as well; which is hard to find in Scarborough. It is worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Overall — 4.5÷5.0
Authentic Thai restaurant with casual décor serving up street style Thai food.
Came here for lunch and ordered their Pad Thai and Red Panang Beef curry. Everything was cooked perfectly with great depths of flavour that satisfies your taste buds.
Service was attentive and the food came out at lightning speeds. Definitely found this place more favourable than its downtown counterparts.

I’ve only been once, but I’m definitely going to try again. We had:
— Green Curry Beef
— Panang Chicken
— Holy Basil with Egg (Chicken)
— Pla rad prik
— Pad Thai
— Thai Ice Tea
They were all well above average quality, good portion sizes, reasonable prices. In particular, I think the Green Curry and the Panang were favoured by the most people. We’ll come back again and try some more things.

Everything is delicious and the whole restaurant feels comfortable!
I don’t need to worries about what I should order, because I simply know that they just make everything good. I especially like their curry dishes.
The whole restaurant is modern and clean. A little dark in the evening because of the lighting.

Hard to find good thai in Scarborough. This place is a gem! Ordered the pad thai, green curry chicken, pepper beef. Each dish was fantastic! Will definitely go back.

Great Thai place in Scarborough/​North York. Service was pleasant and fast. I enjoyed my Khao soi which was reasonably spicy but the nom yen (green ice milk) drink I ordered was nothing special, tasted kinda like artificial honeydew. They also have cheap lunch combos if you come before 3PM.

Every now and then we had cravings for Thai. But there aren’t many good Thai restaurants around. So I checked out the Unilocal and found this place. There are many choices, so we ordered some classics: lemon grass chicken wings, Thai ice tea, beef pad Thai, and chicken green curry. Chicken wing is the best! Pad Thai is slightly too sweet, and green curry isn’t creamy enough, a bit more coconut milk and less bell peppers would be better. If this small diner were in Singapore I would give a 3-​star, but here in Toronto, it definitely worth a 4-​star. Oh, the waitress was nice and polite.
I’ll try green ice tea next time.

Came here on Sunday for lunch. What an amazing thai resto! Ordered the basil chicken lunch special and the street style pad thai. Both dishes were on point and so tasty. All those lovely thai flavors were there. It was a great meal with a nice and new resto. The décor was modern and inviting. Service was fast and polite.
Its in a run down area/​plaza but its a GEM. Come here and you wont regret it. I cant wait to order the basil beef. ***** 5 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

First time I’ve ever used Unilocal but I felt compelled to write that this by far the best Thai food I have ever had. One of my top 5 places to eat in Toronto. You can’t go wrong here and the prices are great.

First tried the Kingston road location. Blown away.
Drove on Victoria park the other day and saw they had another location. Decided to give it a try today. The strip mall its located in is kind of grotty. But dont worry, the restaurant inside is clean with modern décor. We had the panang as well as the kwei whan. Absolutely fantastic. Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten in Toronto. Give it a try. It won’t disappoint. :)

Always looking for something great where I don’t have to drive downtown and I’ve found it! They say they are Thai Street Food fare and I must say whatever Thai street they are on, I want to be there!
It’s small but nice is clean. It’s in a nondescript plaza with plenty of parking in front. Service is fast and welcoming. I ordered the Thai lemon iced tea which was cool and refreshing. I also had the potato and onion curry (added chicken for $ 1) and it comes with jasmine rice. It was a nice blend of sweet with a hint of kick. The menu shows one hot pepper to denote spiciness but honestly I didn’t think it was spicy. The only thing I didn’t like was the big chunks of onions in it — wish they made the pieces smaller.
I can’t wait to go back and try a few other things on the menu. They have lunch specials for well under $ 10.
Nice to know great food exists around the corner!

I just moved to the Wexford area and had no idea that these gems exist. I have Phở Metro for viet, Makkal Chon for Korean and now Jatujak for authentic Thai! My first visit consisted of a simple meal, Khao Soi to cure my hangover from the night before. It was delicious! The broth was nice and spicy and there was some pickled cabbage as a garnish to help compliment the richness of the flavourful coconut curry broth. You have to try the Thai iced green tea, it is a natural compliment to any dish.
The ambience is nice, like something you’d see in the city, and the staff is super friendly. Thanks for bringing some good eats to the eclectic wexford food scene. You’ll see me on a weekly basis: p

It seems like Scarborough is starting to step it up a notch. No longer will you have to endure the long waits in the downtown core to enjoy authentic Thai.
Jatujak does a great job of satisfying my Thai cravings. Ordered the pad Thai, and khoa Soi. Everything was done nicely, authentic flavours which are key. when eating ethnic foods and Jatujak did not disappoint.
Came here at lunch time on a weekday, not busy at all which would have me concerned about how they can stay in business. However this is their second location so I’m sure they will be able to hang in there as the word gets out about this new location.
The mango sticky rice is a must try and I will definitely be coming back to try the curry.

Great little new location nearby. Always happy to have some good options in the burbs and not just downtown.
I was really encouraging the owners to expand their menu and go more authentic, as I said I felt the burbs was now ready for it. They seem a bit reluctant, but hopefully they’ll be a bit more adventurous and help expand this part of towns pallette.

3.5÷5, +.5 for service
I’m in a similar boat to most reviews here; Kingston Road is simply too far for me, and I was glad they opened one further north along Victoria Park. Therefore I finally decided to try this place for my mom’s birthday dinner.
We reserved for a table of 4, but honestly when we arrived on a Saturday night at 8pm the place was only half full. The ambience was definitely quiet as well; everyone can hear you even if you talk very quietly amongst yourselves. We were greeted immediately and were sat, as well as being given the menu and a large bottle of cold water.
Since we were a party of 4, we opted to focus more on the appetizers and less on the noodles and rice, since it would be easier to share the food. We had the satay chicken, satay beef, veggie spring rolls, veggie cold rolls, shrimp cold rolls, thai curry puffs, and a tom kha soup to start.
The satay beef was better than the chicken, although both were very juicy with the peanut sauce. The veggie spring rolls were also very good, in fact so good we ordered a second plate at the end. The cold rolls were decent, with the shrimp one better than the veggie (also comes with tofu). The disappointment were the thai curry puffs, it was a lot of puff and very little curry unfortunately. My dad enjoyed the tom kha soup and said the taste was quite unique.
For the main courses we ordered the mango crispy chicken stir-​fry and the jatujak fried rice. The crispy chicken tasted excellent and it wasn’t as spicy as I thought, which was perfect for myself who’s a wuss when it comes to spice. The fried rice, however, was a dish I definitely regretted ordering, cause it was simply nothing special compared to the rest of the dishes.
We ordered the tapioca coconut pudding for dessert, which was unfortunately too sweet for us.
My visit came with a thai cookie for each party member to start. It may look plain, but it was quite good.
Service was excellent the entire way. We didn’t have to tell the waitress at any point to refill the water, and she came back to us a couple of times to double check if the food was alright. The starter dish on the house was an added bonus as well.
I’ll most likely come back for lunch in the future to try the pad thai.

Food:
Lunch specials ranged from $ 7 – 9
Thai iced tea was $ 3.50 but we found it a bit watered down (not as much condensed milk or tea flavour as we would’ve liked)
Pad Thai: sweet and sauce and not ketchup based
Khao Soi: the noodles didn’t seem like egg noodles but the overall flavour was good. There was some spice to it which we liked. The beef was ok, not too dry like most places.
Service:
We experienced good service and had no complaints. Our server patiently explained the items we weren’t familiar with.
Parking:
We went on a Sunday for lunch and there was ample parking in the small plaza’s lot.
Overall: we would go back to try some other dishes.

I was quite excited to see that a Thai restaurant had recently opened near my old neighbourhood. Technically it’s in North York since Victoria Park Ave is the dividing line between North York and Scarborough but nonetheless a good Thai restaurant is hard to find in this part of the city. I read that the original Kingston Rd location had garnered good reviews and I was curious if the second location would be just as good.
My friend and I dropped by around 8:30 — 9 pm during a weekday for a late night dinner and the place was completely empty. We were quickly greeted and seated. We decided on the Gaeng Kiew Whan ($ 9.95 plus $ 2.00 for shrimp before tax) and the Jatujak Pad Thai ($ 9.95 plus $ 1.00 for beef before tax) and two green Nom Yen drinks ($ 3.50 each before tax). Both dishes came out in less than 5 minutes and this is not a good sign unless you’re at McDonald’s regardless if the place was empty or not.
Gaeng Kiew Whan ($ 9.95 plus $ 2.00 for shrimp): This is essentially a green curry dish which was served with shrimp, you had the option of choosing chicken, beef or shrimp and a bowl of white jasmine rice. The dish was very mediocre, it was overly spicy and the broth was very watery and lacked the proper amount of coconut milk.
Jatujak Pad Thai ($ 9.95 plus $ 1.00 for beef): This dish which should be probably their signature dish on the menu was really bad. Very saucy and lacked the spiciness that comes from crushed chili peppers. If you have ever been to Sukothai or Pai and tried their Pad Thai, the difference in quality, taste and authenticity is worlds apart.
Nom Yen Green ($ 3.50 before tax): The drink which was essentially a green milk tea was fantastic, refreshing and sweet but not two sweet.
Service/​Décor: The service was good and the waiter was patient in explaining things and wasn’t overbearing. The décor was nice, a lot of dark colours and a very relaxed atmosphere.
Overall, it’s difficult for me to give a new small business two stars but the food is really not that good and it’s not authentic Thai food. As I mentioned before, if you have been to Pai or Sukothai you will be able to tell a big difference and I have Thai friends and have had the chance to enjoy home cooked Thai food. The food is reasonably priced but they definitely have to improve the quality of the food. I really hope this was a one off experience and a bad night for them.

I am always a fan of Jatujak’s original location down at Kingston Road. Small, cozy and friendly serving authentic Thai food.
Now this second location is so much more spacious and actually a real restaurant. Decoration has this rustic Thai feel but with a modern touch.
Menu is similar to the other location but this location is LLBO. So now I can enjoy my Thai food with a Singha or a Thai Cocktail.
Lunch Special till 3 pm which I cannot resist! Jatujak“s Street Style Pad Thai ($ 7.95) is solid, maybe the best in the area. The white meat chicken was moist and portion size is big!
I suggest paying $ 2.50 to upgrade your meal to includes mango salad, spring roll and drink! (Ginger Tea does sounds good when it is cold out!)
Service is always good and warm, real Thai hospitality!
Jatujak is probably as close I can get to Thailand in Scarborough.
Highly Recommended!
