    I can't comment on the meat dishes, but this place has some solid veg options.
    The have your standard Thai options and they do them well. Quick delivery as well.

    Ended up here for lunch yesterday .. I wasn't that impressed.
    It's a cozy little place just up the stairs on Yonge Street.
    I did't find the staff that friendly she just pointed to a chair and said "for 1? .. sit there"... I was like ooookkkk.....

    I ordered the classic PadThai with chicken and it wasn't that good. I've had better.  It was basically ALL noodle, hardly any veg or chicken.
    Sauce has a weird flavour in my opinion.

    Service is fast .. so if you have a short lunch break you will in and out of there no problem.  Lunch specials start at $6.99 and it comes with a spring roll.  There is plenty of food for your money so it's good in that way (if you actually like you meal).  I wrapped 1/2 of my meal to go.

    I checked out what people were eating beside me and it looked better.
    I'd try one of the chicken currys maybe, it's looked pretty decent.

    I doubt I'd try this place again ... just wasn't my day.

    If you're looking for authentic Thai food in mid town Toronto, it's scarce and hard to come by but Mai Thai Restaurant is here to save the day. Now, I can't say 100% authentic, but at least 90% there which is as close as I've come in this neighbourhood.

    There are daily lunch specials for only $6.99 or $8.99 but the best way to order is definetely a la carte. The red beef curry is my favourite spicy dish and the cashew nut chicken dish is also great. The only thing on the menu I would call a bit over priced is the soup but they do offer a great selection.

    If it's pad thai you seek, it's pretty good but not the best I've ever had. Unlike all other items on the menu, if you want it spicy, you have to make a special request and let them know you really do want it SPICY!!!

    The only item that doesn't taste totally authentic to me, is the satay chicken. Rather than fulfilling the flavour that instantly comes to mind when I think of satay chicken, Mai Thai's satay tastes more like well cooked curry chicken.

    Overall I would recommend the food at Mai Thai but if you only crave pad thai or satay chicken, be warned, they're not the best items on the menu and by that I mean they do taste good but not super authentic.

    The restaurant is very nice on the inside, not quite fine dining  but almost, however it is not accessible you have to walk up a small flight of stairs to get in, strollers do not fit through the door well and once you're inside, the bathroom is up another flight of stairs. The service is also a little slow.

    Had dinner here the other evening.  None of our party were impressed.  It wasn't horrible, it was edible for sure, but good?  No.
    I had the Squid Salad (Yum Pla Muk) and it had a really strange flavour, and the calamari (squid) was very very rubbery.  I also had the Coconut Chicken Soup and it was very watery and a very thin consistency (although the flavour was ok).
    Really wouldn't go here again - too many other dining options at Yonge & Eg, and if I want Thai, I'd go elsewhere.

    Not very impressed at lunch today. Who dresses a salad with sugar water?

    Tried the lemongrass chicken - fantastic heat, with great sweet Thai basil flavour. Only downside was they were out of Singha beer.
