Mengrai Gourmet Thai - Toronto, Ontario

This place... I love it. I went close to the close time. And the people was very friendly with me. I ate an amazing mix between fruits and meat. With pineapple, mango, beef, pork. It was a very good experience, and for me very spice, but a good spice, with taste. So i ... was so happy there. Read more

As the other comments mentioned the curry with lychee is amazing recommended and also love the pineapple fried rice presentation. The curry’s are not oily but very creamy. Good portions. I really liked the sticky rice for dessert. Owners very personable and sweet - great experience.

We ordered takeout from here on a Sunday evening. The host who answered the phone was very friendly and made good recommendations to us. All the servers and staff seemed very friendly and had a smile on their faces. Service was quick given it was a busy Mother's day weekend. I ... would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the neighborhood. We got: Appetizer combo - the dumplings and shrimp roll were delicious Chicken Lemongrass Soup - flavours were amazing on this, spice level was HOT Red curry with lychee and pineapple and a side order of jasmine rice - the curry was tasty and had the right level of spice Drunken flat rice noodles - this was not one of my favourites, the flavour of the bok choy overwhelmed everything else and I had a bitter aftertaste, I would probably try the pad thai next time Complimentary: Mango sticky rice - this was delicious and a nice pallet cleanser after the meal, not too sweet Coconut pandan cake - soft like a pillow with nice subtle flavours I will definitely be returning to this local business.

Wonderful ambiance, especially the owner/chef couple who are experienced and hospitable to a degree rarely seen anymore in the restaurant industry. Small business owners who respect their staff and care about more than just the bottom line. Food is excellent and fairly priced. An unheralded gem in the distillery district. ... Will be back!

A flavourful Journey at Mengrai Thai My boyfriend and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mengrai Thai for the first time, drawn in by the intriguing allure of a restaurant that has hosted its fair share of celebrities. Our culinary adventure left us with a memorable experience and a ... taste for more. To kick off our meal, we indulged in the golden flowers with chicken, an appetizer that lived up to its enticing description. The crispy texture of the golden flowers was delightful, providing a perfect contrast to the succulent chicken within. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavours, setting a promising tone for the rest of our dining experience. For the main course, we opted for the pineapple fried rice and Sasi's Pad Thai noodle. The pineapple fried rice was a revelation, with the sweet and tangy notes of pineapple perfectly complementing the savoury rice and assorted ingredients. Sasi's Pad Thai noodle lived up to its reputation, delivering a burst of flavours that danced on our taste buds. The careful balance of spices and the freshness of the ingredients were truly commendable, showcasing the culinary expertise of Mengrai Thai's kitchen. To conclude our feast, we savoured the sweet coconut rice and mango dessert, a delightful combination that provided a refreshing end to our meal. The coconut rice was perfectly cooked, and the sweetness of the mango added a tropical touch, leaving us completely satisfied. A friendly tip for future patrons: be sure to bring cash if you're looking to score a discount. While our experience was nearly flawless, a minor improvement here and there could have propelled Mengrai Thai to a perfect score. Nevertheless, with its delectable offerings, celebrity allure, and cash discount incentive, we confidently rate Mengrai Thai 4.75/5 stars—very close to perfection. It's a gem that certainly deserves a spot on any food enthusiast's list. Read more
