Definitely the best Thai restaurant on the Danforth, in my opinion. The back page of their menu has a couple great unique dishes on it (I recommend the first dish listed -don't remember what it's called - and the Kai Yad Sai (sp?)), and you can't go wrong with their Tom yum soup, cold spring rolls, and spicy Thai fried rice. What I love about the place is that if you ask them to make a dish spicy for you, they actually will! (coming from a person who can handle a lot of spice). So yay!
The service is friendly and fast for the most part.
They have an amazing dessert, deep fried coconut ice cream, but it hasn't been available lately :(. A million sadnesses.
The only bad food experience I had was with their hot and sour soup - had a strange and bland taste, but it could have just been an off night. Their Tom yum and coconut soups more than make up for that one though.
Also, place has a good number of booths and nice decor. Makes a great date night dinner. -

Better than Friendly Thai, not as good as Khao San Road (but then, what is?).
For east end delivery, I'll order them again. The shrimp fresh rolls were generous (although needing more dipping sauce), and the mixed pad thai ok -- while nary a tomato in sight, it could use with more chicken, shrimp and egg than it arrived with. I forgot to ask them to make it spicy, so a healthy dosing of sriracha was required.
Delivery took about an hour at 7pm on Friday night; I was under the $20 min order so paid $3 extra for delivery, next time will grab the shrimp chips ($3.95) to push me over the minimum. -

I know gas prices are soaring. If only we could use excess cooking oil to run our cars. If that were the case, mong-kut's food would fuel a trip from Toronto to Bangkok. Geez, man! The spring rolls were still dripping with oil. I decided to go for something different than the standard pad thai. Adventurous, that's me. I like living on the edge, y'know? So I tried the chu cha noodles (vegetable). They're yellow noodles in a thai garlic sauce. No easing up on the oil here either. The noodles tasted like cheap udon noodles that were rehydrated in oily water. My husband ordered the pad thai and was treated to some eggshells in his dish.
I had to pour on the sriacha sauce. Still bland so I had to add some garlic red chili sauce. This dish seemed resistant to taste.
I think I'm going to retreat into a shell and tone down that "hey, let's try something different for dinner tonight!" for awhile. -

Extraordinary Thai food! The mango salad is fresh and a great compliment to the savory satays and noodle dishes. The portions are gigantic and the prices are reasonable. There is an option to grill your own food, like in a Korean Grill House, but I've never seen anyone do it and I've yet to do it myself. Friendly service and a casual environment combine to make this one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and among my favorite Thai restaurants east of Yonge.

My favourite spot for Thai food - love their fresh spring rolls, spicy fried rice, and deep-fried coconut ice-cream (when it's available). The 'traditional' dishes on the last page of the menu are also a highlight - especially the Khai Yad Sai (I am probably butchering the spelling of that one) - seasoned pork wrapped in egg.

Dinner tonight at Mong-Kut Thai was delicious, hot and fresh. While portions were generous, ingredients were a little skimpy in some dishes. Wonton soup had tasty wontons but there were only a few small ones in the bowl, and fresh rolls with shrimp had very little shrimp. Cashew shrimp, on the other hand, had lots of plump tasty shrimp. The room is nicely decorated and comfortable. Worth a return visit.

The owner is rude and pretentious. Won't ever eat there, don't care what the food tastes like because if you can't get customer service right and be polite to people, I can't imagine you're going to do much better cooking a meal for me.
