I absolutely love this place. I used to work in the area, and would come here for lunch every single day. Since I have found new employment, I can say the only thing I miss about my old job is the food I would eat here on my break. All the different Pad-Thai dishes are amazing. The peanut sauce and chips that are served as soon as you sit down are delicious! I can honestly say I havn't found a spot in Toronto with better Calamari either. Can't wait to return one day.

A dark and rainy Friday night. Driving around Etobicoke/Mississauga looking for a restaurant and made a wrong turn. This is how a lot of horror and/or porno movies begin.
After getting gas, we decided to give up on looking for the original place. Looking across the street, we said 'How about Thai instead?'.
I've been to Tasted of Thailand before, but haven't been back for a few years because we generally forget that it's there. Nestled between an abandoned motorcycle store now turned radio station and an adult novelty store, it's kinda hard to miss.
The restaurant is small and cozy. The white linen table cloths denote that this is going to be a bit classier than the typical Spring Rolls experience. Restaurant was pretty full, mostly with what look liked couples celebrating date night and also a few young couples with delightfully mute babies.
We order the appetizer platter ($12.95), mango salad ($6.95), tamarind beef ($9.95) and shrimp pad thai ($10.95).
Instead of a bread basket, we were brought a small basket of shrimp chips with peanut dipping sauce. It was good and would have liked a bigger basket.
Food came quickly. Everything tasted fresh and hot. Pad thai had a nice 'wok hay' and tamarind beef was crispy and not too oily.
Finished off the meal with the fried banana and coconut ice cream dessert ($7.95). Left feeling satisfyingly full and glad we didn't find that other restaurant we were looking for. -

Just tried take-out from this Thai restaurant for the first time tonight. I chose this instead of my regular spots even though its further away, because it's open until 10PM where most other Thai places close by 9. I still wish it was open later though.
I got Chicken Pad Thai and Thai Green Curry Shrimp. The Pad Thai was not overly sweet, had a generous portion of bean sprouts and peanuts without any real heat.
The green curry was flavored well, with strong taste of coconut milk and a spicy kick (Well, spicy for me at least, who isn't someone that eats alot of really hot foods). Flavors were spot on, broccoli in the curry was a nice touch, but I'd lose the bell peppers. They add nothing to the dish and seems rather inauthentic.
My one gripe is that a couple of the shrimps still had a bit of the vein attatched, so I had to finish cleaning them by hand.. which is one of my pet peeves.
Long story short -- I would visit again. Each dish was about $10-$11. -

I've been to Taste of Thailand on multiple occasions and they constantly deliver fresh food and good service. All my meals have started with complimentary shrimp chips served with peanut sauce. Their Pad Thai and curries are good but a few of their soups and salads are a must. My favourite soup is their Tom Yum soup; the broth concoction is the perfect balance of hot and sour. Their salads are unique, colorful creations; one of my favourites is the duck salad mixed with lychee, peppers and other vegetables. All their dishes are reasonably priced. The only downfall is location, adjacent to an adult shop and surrounded by chained restaurants definitely makes this restaurant a diamond in the rough. Overall, a great place to have authentic Thai food.

Fresh and delicious. I'm still rather new to the whole thai food thing so I played it safe and went with the standard favourite, Chicken Pad Thai. It was delicious, it was fair priced, and there was still enough for left overs. Perfect take-out choice for a cold, wet, rainy Sunday.
Shame I'm discovering it only now when I'm about to move... -

The atmosphere wasn't bad. Interior features a high steeple ceiling, Thai decor, Thai ornaments in a picture frame, an LCD TV playing a slide show of pictures of Thailand, tea candle lit on the tables, wreaths by the window seats.
We were then seated and waitress gave us our menus. I noticed my menu had a large burn hole on it. I didn't question it. However maybe it was a sign of things to come?
When trying a new place I like to order something simple. If the place can make the simple dishes then anything out of the ordinary or exotic I could probably take a chance on. However if the place cannot make even a simple dish better I find it's best to end your meal there and take your loss.
We ordered two dishes to share:
Curry: chicken peanut sauce
From the Wok: Cashew nut chicken
They were terrible.
The curry was spicy and there was no warning of that. My GF not too found of spice and intentionally ordered it because the menu did not denote a chili for spice.
Cashew nut chicken dish was so sweet, as if there was like relish in it. I can only imagine how badly the pad Thai must be.
I ended up mixing the peanut sauce and from the shrimp chips and the peanut curry to the cashew nut chicken dish to voila create my own peanut curry cashew nut chicken dish to even the sweetness out.
Oh the food came out faster than fast food restaurant. This stuff is just slapped together.
The place was no good, atmosphere alright, but food terrible. I felt deceived by the Yelp community who reviewed this restaurant and gave it a high 4 star rating. It's also right beside an adult video store?! So if you're taking a date and this place doesn't pan out maybe consider visiting that.. Ha-ha jk

I was in the neighbourhood and was in the mood for some Thai food. I've ordered from this place in the past, but this was the first time I had dined in.
This location is on Dundas near Kipling station oddly placed between a row of dealerships and an Adult video store. When I walked in, I was immediately seated. The decor is nice and simple, but I found the flat screen TV on the wall playing the game distracting and out of place. Also the burn holes in the menus are a little disconcerting
I ordered the Green Curry dish and the rice was heart shaped. Despite the cute details, I found the whole thing a bit bland. I honestly think my love for Green Mango and Salad King may be at work here because as I mentioned I used to order from here all the time and used to love it. I guess my taste buds are now posh! -

Excellent Thai food done properly and authentically. We had fresh rolls, which were not only delicious but very prettily done, with shrimp tail sticking out of each. Tom yom and Tom kha were both excellent, as were the pad thai and red curry (which did include rice without having to order it on the side). Meals include a comp snack of shrimp chips with terrific peanut sauce. Friendly, accomodating service. Ginger tea was a great accompaniment.
Prices are about average for Thai food. -

Had the basil beef fried rice, fried fish with mango sauce, lamb curry (comes with rice), fried wontons and they included 4 spring rolls for free.
Portion sizes were average to small, not large though.
We ordered pick up. The fish was perfect, very delicious. The lamb curry seemed watery and the meat was not very flavourful. The fried wontons and the spring rolls were ok. Price was excellent and the service was friendly and fast. I would definitely try this restaurant again. -

Taste of Thailand Cuisine has good food at pretty reasonable prices. The grilled beef was delicious, the crispy tilapia with mango salad was refreshing and tasty, and my husband loved the pineapple rice. The staff were helpful and even grabbed a small plate and spoon for my toddler. The restaurant is cozy, but it would be difficult to have a large party here. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone for an evening out.
