Dine on the fabulous Thai cuisine with "tastes that tingle your tongue and flavors that excite your palate". Young Thailand has been the winner of several Toronto Dining Awards. Toronto's culinary landscape was changed forever in 1980 when Wandee Young opened the first Thai restaurant in Canada called Young Thailand. Wandee opened a new "Young Thailand Restaurant" on Gerrard street in 1990. It became such a success that a second location was opened on Church street in 1993. The rest is history. Come in and join us for the best Thai food in Toronto.
Reviews This casual,
ambient Thai sanctuary is adorned with statues, flowers and plants. Basking in
the exotic interior, Thai food addicts love the green mango salad ($8.95) with
ground chicken and red onions, standard Pad Thai ($8.95) and tiger shrimp soup
with lemongrass, lime juice, mushroom and chili ($8.95). Lunch specials start
from $6.95. Young Thailand has cornered the market on this well-loved Asian
cuisine.
read more The sweet concessions often made to accommodate Canadian palates are replaced here with bold spicing. Lamb satay is pungent with garlic, the Ontario-sourced meat impeccably tender and juicy. Jungle chicken curry avoids the coconut milk ; it’s a thin but flavour-packed sauce loaded with baby eggplant, long beans and baby corn. Stir-fried noodles revive memories of Young’s pad Thai at long-gone Bamboo. For dessert, banana fritters are the best bet. Mains $11–$15. read more Pad thai @ Young Thailand - "Wandee Young first introduced Toronto to the hawker-style
noodles of her homeland at Queen West’s legendary Bamboo back in the 80s. Since
then, she’s launched several successful Southeast Asian eateries (watch for her
return to the downtown core later this summer) and has even written a
bestselling cookbook ($19.95)."
read more Young has stayed the course. Her semi-eponymous restaurants have outlasted Thai cuisine as both a fad and a utilitarian go-to to-go food. If real estate analysts are to be believed, the restaurant is at the epicentre of Toronto's newest hot spot. If perception is a better meter of reality, it's like the UN moving to Newark." read more
As soon
as I walked through the doors, I saw a cook peeling garlic. First
thought that entered my head was this place is great; my logic is a restaurant
that goes to the care of peeling their own garlic must be great. I was right,
their dishes are well-prepared including their sweet shrimps and green curry." read more |
