Thai To Go

Thai To GoThai To Go and I should get along just fine this winter. As soon as the cold weather starts to hit, the incidences of me ordering take-out goes through the roof. There's definitely something about cold November nights and me not wanting to cook and clean dishes.

Such was the case earlier this month. I'd heard good things about Thai To Go (on Gerrard East near River) so I decided to give it a try. Their menu features more than 72 options from Thai crepes to crab fried rice, but my dinner date and I decided to go for the ol' standby Royal Pad Thai with shrimp ($11.99 - photo below), Pad Kra Paow with eggplant and tofu ($8.99 - photo above) and a side order of jasmine rice ($1).

Thai 2 Go

The big winner was the Pad Thai. Unlike many Toronto Thai restaurants, there's no ketchup in this one, so the result was less dense than most. That said, a regular Pad Thai with ketchup is also available so for those ordering for a larger group this could be taste test heaven.

The Pad Kra Paow also hit the spot, although the portion size wasn't anything to get too excited about. But I can't say I wasn't warned. The person who took my order tried to talk me into a couple of apps or a salad but I was pretty set at keeping the total damage to around $20. And that's what it was. With a 10% discount on pick-ups and an additional 3% off (on orders $25 or more) if you bring your own containers this lonely spot between Cabbagetown and East Chinatown has likely earned a repeat phone call.

i order (delivery) few dishes,
first thing the dishes looks small but it was more then enough.
everything tasted fresh and clean.
(IMO)there's no need for bigger container,
food is excellent,
and its more then fare value for the money.
great place.

This is now my new place for Mango Salad. The only other place that (I think) makes a really good one is Pi Tom's on Alexander St.

Thank you for this article. I tried to order from Sukhothai tonight but I think they were closed so I tried Thai-to-go for the first time and they were also very good.

Yeah, they have a dining room. They did a great job with it, it was a really nice looking restaurant. I ordered the pumpkin soup, duck spring rolls and pad thai. The soup was amazing, loved the spicing, spring rolls were crunchy, flavorful, and weren't drenched in oil, (although 3 for $8 is a bit much) The pad thai had fresh herbs and decent flavour, but I'd prefer more spice (and will order it as such next time). After a few forkfuls It seemed a bit bland. But no ketchup, yay! Definitely a good spot, and the lunch menu looked great as well.

My wife and I live in the neighbourhood and had past this little place many times, my loss. We went last night and I have to say, I have not had more authentic and delicious Thai cuisine since I moved away from Thailand in 2008. The staff was very friendly, took pleasure in hearing me practice my Thai and even created a few of my old favourites, which were not listed on the menu. The décor was quite classy and comfortable.
I certainly will eat here again as I have found my new favourite Thai restaurant.
