This is truly a hidden GEM!! The food was awesome! What surprised me more was the presentation of the food. The food was very nicely presented and was yummy. The portions are VERY GENEROUS! We had to pack at least half of everything. And the price is also not expensive The pineapple fried rice is a must try item. I tried it with chicken and beef and liked the beef more. The ambience of the store is great. The staff were very professional and friendly. The only downside is the parking. They have very limited paid street parking. A parking hack would be to park at the Shoppers drugmart or the grocery store right across the street. The only thing I didn’t like was the Thai iced tea. It was very less strong compared to others i tried and the sweetness was low too. Overall a must try authentic thai restaurant!

Chiang Rai rocks and is easily one of the best Thai spots in Toronto. I’m a huge fan of the beef salad and the Thai spicy pad Thai. If you can handle heat, it’s phenomenal actually spicy, but with real flavor, not just heat for the sake of it. The service is great, and the atmosphere inside is warm and inviting. Whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, or getting delivery, the food always hits and the presentation when dining in is especially nice.

My friend and I went here and we both got the Pad See Ew. It was absolutely delicious!! We also got a slice of cheesecake and it was fantastic. The location was really nice, and the servers were all super friendly. Definitely recommend!

Visiting Chiang Rai for the first time with a friend, we honestly didn’t know what to expect but we were blown away. All the food was halal, which was a huge plus for us. We tried the Tom Yum, Pad Thai, Khao Soi, and finished with mango sticky rice every single dish was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. On top of the amazing food, Anu was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was truly spectacular. This place alone is a reason to come back to Chiang Rai again. Highly recommended
