干杯台式居酒屋

I heard a lot of good reviews about this restaurant, so I decided to give it a try. I visited on a Sunday evening around 5pm. The place was already about 30% full, as it isn’t very big and only has a handful of tables. We waited at the door for 10 minutes before a staff member noticed us and seated us. Water was never offered, even after we placed our orders, until we had to ask. The staff was super unattentive, despite the restaurant not being busy. We ordered the mango salad, tom yum noodle with pork bone, and Pad Ka Pao with crispy pork. The mango salad was super disappointing; it was basically sliced mango on a plate with sliced red onions, green onions, and a heavy pour of Thai chili sauce, the kind you can purchase at grocery stores, all for $15. The tom yum noodle was on the bland side and felt watered down, not resembling tom yum at all. The pork bone was cooked well, tender, and falling off the bone. The Pad Ka Pao was mediocre; the crispy pork was cooked until tender and deep-fried to order, which made the outside hard and the inside soft. I would have preferred if only the skin was crispy. We also ordered a Thai milk tea, which was overly sweet, so we had to wait until the ice melted to drink it. There were no table touches by any servers, so we were unable to provide any immediate feedback.

What a delicious Thai experience! We were so delighted to 'dine in' as we arrived 30 minutes before closing. Such a charming place with Thai inspired decor. Our server was friendly and welcoming. We could sense the authenticity from the menu and the aroma that surrounded us. Pad Thai was excellent and the pork belly so crispy and tasted like we were back in Bangkok!

Pretty overrated if you ask me. I've been to Thailand twice and one of the worst Chicken Pad Thai's I've ever had in my life was purchased at this restaurant. Their Green Curry is, on the contrast, surprisingly good, and I would recommend it ten fold over their Pad Thai (unless you like a dry ketchup flavour). Service was shockingly bad. The close at 10. We arrive at 9:30. They tell us we have to order immediately otherwise the kitchen will get angry. They hovered like vultures to get the order, once the order was in, we were flagging them down from a distance...the service just felt self serving with a total disregard for our experience...they didn't seem to care how their behaviour could be perceived. And honestly, you can get insanely good Pad Thai in Thailand for like $2 CAD so to come back and spend $20 CAD for terrible Pad Thai...it just makes you not want to eat Thai food in Canada. Sum Tum Jinda on Gerrard is where you want to go for Thai food in Cabbagetown. Maya Bay, like the beach itself, should be watched from a distance as you walk by...toward a different restaurant.

My boyfriend found this place and at first I was skeptical. It’s quite small on a street I had never been before. But I was blown away by the taste. I ordered for us to try, since Thai food is pretty similar to Viet food. I had to say I got some people’s saying about the portion. It’s modest indeed but it packed a punch. The taste of the food is so exquisite. I understood then why some people in my country would travel to Thailand to have Thai food. My crispy pork (noodle) is so tender & soft. Pork bone soup has a spicy tangy unique flavour and the soft shell crab fried rice is my boyfriend’s favourite. Oh and we washed it down with Thai beer. It was so good. I liked this restaurant a lot and there is a reason why it’s so reputable. It was the weekend when we went, I know, but the place is packed with customers waiting in line. Afterward my boyfriend listened to Whitney Houston’s song in the ride home 😂 he’s the kind of person who can be easily told if he likes the food or not after the meal. He even talked about it the next days. It seems like he’s been converted.

I've been recommending this restaurant to everyone who loves Thai food. Every dish I've tried is delicious. The coconut soup and Pad Ka Pao are must-haves!

Really delicious spicy pork bone soup with excellent broth. We'll be going back to try other items!

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Toronto now! They do not cheap out on the portion and we came out so full. The dishes are very flavorful and the atmosphere is nice. Although if you sit by the window there may be some friends from the neighborhood passing by. Also try to get there earlier or later as multiple groups had to wait for a table. Water service could maybe be improved a little, as the food does get a little heavy and it was busy inside. We had to ask for water a few times.

Great Thai food, taste was definitely there. But the green curry was soup like texture.

I recently went to Maya Bay Thai and had a great time! I didn't order any food but had a Thai iced tea (lemon) and it was delicious (sweet , you cant skip the sugar) My friends had already ordered food before I got there, and they really enjoyed it. They also have a cool deal—10% off if you pay cash, but it has to be one bill. The vibe was nice, and the staff were friendly. Definitely looking forward to trying the food next time!

I would recommend Pad Hoi Lai which is could not find this menu in Vancouver 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 also food presentation looks so amazing
