Really good food and service. We've tried tons of Thai places and this one had, IMO the most authentic tasting (but less spicy!) Thai food I've had since being in Thailand . We tried the red curry, jungle curry and papaya salad. All three were excellent!

Did a lunch take out order.
They recently added sushi to their menu which worked out perfect today because the other local sushi spot is closed on Tuesday. Silk is also doing an introductory offer of 15% off sushi/sashimi/futomaki items.
I ordered the spicy salmon roll and a lamb satay. I got a spicy salmon roll and beef satay. This actually worked out when I opened the container at home because while I was waiting, I thought the lamb might not turn out too good because you never know if it could be as fresh as say the beef or chicken based on its popularity (in Asian restaurants).
The spicy salmon roll was proper fresh. It's also a LOT spicier than most other places in the GTA (being a Thai restaurant it makes sense). It is close to overpowering for a sushi roll where the flavours are subtle to begin with. Just a heads up. They also drizzle a small amount of mayo on top. The menu says "...with tuna on top." but that was nowhere to be found...
Beef Satay with the peanut sauce was good. Basic. Nothing to write home about.
I will be coming back to try out more dishes based on the freshness and taste of these ones and most likely updating to 4 star.
*addition/edit 2nd Visit/Take Out
Ordered a Beef Cantonese Chow Mein (yes it's Chinese at a Thai joint).
All the ingredients were good and fresh. Noodles fried crispy proper on the edges of the dish.
Sadly they stopped serving sushi due to lack of interest but may bring it back in the future.
Updated to 4-star. Will be back to try more! -

Like others we were surprised how big and warm this place is once you get in there and go to the back. It's HUGE. The front display of this place does it NO justice. They should really do something about that.
Food was great, came quickly, staff was really friendly and efficient.
There was some lady there who apparently delivers for them, who was going around table to table handing out delivery menus and chatting people up. She was a bit much and I think she was a bit drunk. I don't know maybe she's just eccentric.
Not a big deal but just kind of odd.
So yeah now they deliver within the area. Which we may take them up on, since we live somewhat near by. Time will tell if they'll be able to beat out Friendly Thai for best delivery in the area though. We'll be back to try more dishes, for sure. -

There are only three options for Thai food in the Junction and Silk is one of them.
We were lured in on a Friday night by a $20 dinner special on a sandwich board outside - dinner for 2 that included hot & sour sour soup, orange chicken cashew with rice and spicy Thai noodles. We decided to give it a go.
Silk is a pretty big space. There's seating at the front of the restaurant and as you head towards the back, it opens up into a large dining room. We decided to sit in the back area.
Service was quick and food arrived soon after ordering. Unfortunately, the dishes weren't that great. We've eaten at Silk previously and remember the food being much, much better. Perhaps it was just the dishes we had that night or maybe it was an off night?
I'm not a fan of hot & sour soup anyway but it was a nice starter on a rainy night as it came piping hot. The orange cashew chicken was decent with chunks of fresh orange in it but the Thai spicy noodles were just a tasteless pile of hot mess.
We'll be sure to avoid those specific dishes in the future but will be back to try something else. -

Wow, this place is a hidden gem!
From the outside it doesn't look like much. In fact, I've walked by it probably 1,000 times without much notice.
Inside it is quite spacious and beautiful!
On a Monday night they had $2 special for a glass of wine. I ordered white and it was really good!
Pad Thai was fabulous (which is hard to come by) and Green curry was legitimately spicy. Portions are generous.
Yes- there was cheesy pan flute music playing soft rock cover songs...but have you ever been to Thailand? It is very popular there! He he
I'm so thrilled to have discovered this neighbourhood spot! Can't wait to return.
PS. Also, they have brown rice as an option. Bonus! -
Review from Leslie-Anne W.

A friend recommended I go to Silk for the best thai food in the West end. This location was formerly called Young Thailand, but they both have the same proprietor, Wandee Young.
The decor in Silk is very traditional, dark and often with very bizarre elevator type music playing. Don't let this distract you from the wonderful thai food. The green curry is my favourite, a spicy curry that burns just enough but is so full of sweet flavour that it's worth it. The cold rolls and mango salad are some of the best I have had in Toronto. The portion sizes are ample and the prices are average. They deliver to the High Park/Junction area.
What astounds me about this place is that there are never more than 3 tables of diners. This restaurant is delicious! The word must get out. -

We had ordered delivery from them when they were Young Thailand and were not impressed, but eating in at this new location was very nice. The decor is soothing and attractive, and the dishes were all winners. My red curry was especially good. As with the other reviewer, we also noticed a dearth of diners here, perhaps due to the somewhat ungainly Junction location near Keele and Dundas.
Also agree about the music - pan pipe renditions of 50's and 60's era cocktail lounge songs. One other minor criticism was that the rest room area in the back, while clean, needed updating to match the rest of the place.
One should note that street parking in this area is free after 6 PM.
