Khmer Thai Restaurant

Best thai food in toronto. Everything on the menu is a winner but the golden beef is my fav and goto item when i cant decide what to get

I ordered Kako Khmer, Siam Delight, Golden Beef takeout, hoping to try ‘Cambodian food’. I only enjoyed the rice — strangely, 80% of each dish. The other food was cooked but bland, tasteless, dry. The few chicken and beef pieces were thin, chewy and unpleasant. Siam had plentiful decent shrimp, but mostly, each dishe tasted like leftovers. I didn’t taste any papaya, jackfruit or eggplant in my Kako — a few overdone greenbeans, too sweet cucumbers. Golden Beef had a mild sweet and spice taste, lacking in texture, freshness — vegetables were old and mushy. I won’t be returning.

I went here ages ago when my sister moved from Kingston to Toronto. In Kingston we used to go to the Cambodian/​Thai restaurants all the time and finally found a similar one outside of Kingston. This place is similar in quality. The golden chicken is fantastic as is the spicy tofu. I’m a carnivore but that spicy tofu is divine. I love the roasted rice they put on it.

Soups E and F are the best green curry, hot and sour soup in Toronto. Tom yum is also number one. The specials are also great. This place is one of St. Clair West’s best places to eat.

I’m completely baffled by all the positive reviews. I just had take out from Khmer Thai and we ordered several dishes. The vegetarian spring rolls were tasty but the dipping sauce was watery and tasteless. That’s the most positive thing I can say about this meal. The rest of the dishes (Cashew Tofu, Veg Pad Thai and Red Curry Tofu) were bland and tasteless, very oily and greasy, lacked vegetables and had way too much rice. I would never go back.

Best Cambodian in the city! I love this little hole in the wall. Khmer Thai is a family run, ma-​and-​pa shop that pumps out some of the most delicious and fresh curries. My personal favourite is the green curry with tofu. I’ve only ever ordered take-​out from this place (it’s pretty ghetto inside and not the best dine-​in experience) and have consistently been impressed by how fresh the food tastes by the time I get home. They load up the curry with lots of veggies and certainly know how to pack a punch (I always order my curry spicy!).
If you want real Cambodian, this is your place.

The restaurant itself isn’t much to look at but not a big deal as I usually take out. The food however is great and their Pad Thai is killer; one of the best Toronto has to offer considering the price. Staff are courteous and diligent. One of my favourites.

I love this place, random find when I lived in the hood.
I think it was the golden beef curry I got or something
Always Awesome and spicy!

This place is solid. The food is tasty and the price is unbeatable. I usually get two to three meals out of one dish. A great family owned restaurant. Can’t go wrong.

I was here for the first time tonight and was blown away with the flavours in their signature dish, the Golden Beef. It was without a doubt the best Thai dish I have had since visiting Thailand many years ago. Fresh Kafir lime leaves kicked this dish out of the park.
Nothing fancy about the place, but if you’re into food and great taste sensations, then you need to visit this restaurant.
Kymer is now my go-​to restaurant for Thai in TO. No place else comes close.

Best Tom Yum in the city. Been going here for years. Super nice family run business.

Still really like this place, friendly service and authentic flavors. I really don’t want to do this. but. I’ve felt really disappointed because the last 3 times I’ve gotten take out (within the last 6 months) have shown that the portion size and quality have reduced for the price. Also, as there used to be a mix of white and dark meat in the dishes, it now seems all dark meat and a lower quality, more fatty meat (a bit of which is inedible for me personally) Where as before the dishes were about ½ rice, now they have consistently this past year been ¾ or more rice in our takeout orders. We used to easily split one order of Golden Chicken, etc., and now it is barely enough for one person. I don’t really even like rice, so rice with a side of meat is far from ideal. Please stop reducing your take-​out quality Khmer Thai!

I love Thai food and am constantly in search for new Thai restaurants to try in the city. So when I came across this restaurant with very decent Unilocal reviews, I was determined to try it. Although located on St Clair, there was plenty of street parking nearby. The restaurant is family owned and operated, which was appealing as I enjoy supporting smaller local establishments. Don’t be put off by the fairly dated décor. You can tell the passion of this family as it is reflected in the wonderful flavours of the food. The young guy serving us was really friendly and happy to recommend dishes to try.
My husband and I ordered the pad Thai and the golden beef (#19) which comes with rice. The pad Thai was unlike the sickly sweet versions commonly found in many other Thai places, rather more savoury and saucy and had plenty of shrimp, chicken and bean sprouts in it. The pad Thai was not spicy even though it was served with a dollop of chilli paste on top. The cucumber and tomato salad garnishing the dish came in handy to cool my palate from the more liberally spiced (medium heat) Golden beef dish. The golden beef was reasonably tender, and the spiciness and delicious flavour kept us coming back for more. The portion sizes are very generous, and even after we had had our fill of food, we were left with enough leftovers for lunch for both of us the next day.
With the 2 dishes and a pot of tea, our meal came to about $ 26, which is great value for the delicious food and larger portions. This place seemed to be doing well in the way of takeout orders. My husband and I will be back as I am very interested in trying their phenang kai as I love coconut and peanut based curries.

The food is a five, the décor is not so great so I lowered the star rating to 4. But the Chef was very friendly and know’s how to cook Thai. I’ll come back for the food anytime.
The menu is large but not too complicated for those new to Thai cuisine. You can order dishes made to share with friends or select from combo’s priced at $ 10 to $ 12.
This isn’t a destination restaurant but if your in the area — drop in and try the Thai. I’ll make a point of visiting again when I visit my friend in the nieghbourhood.

Nice small spot on st Clair west. Family owned and the guy that welcome you in is funny without being funny. The food was good. Quite spicy. Portions were big. Ingredients were fresh. Specially the herbs. Diriment would come back.

This simple storefront which was probably a former luncheonette serves some of the most delicious Asian food I’ve had in Toronto. There are both Thai and Cambodian offerings and both are delicious. Especially good are the golden beef and chicken, the spicy pad thai and the mango salad. Soups come in large portions — a full meal for one or an appetizer for up to four, All of the non-​noodle main dishes include rice,
Service is friendly and homey.
As others mentioned, the portions are huge and the prices are extremely reasonable.

I had Seafood (shrimp) Noodle with chow mein noodle at the store. IT WAS GOOOD! Food came out pretty fast and lots of portion (amount). I had chow mein noodle. For those who don’t now the difference between chow mein and rice noodle –it was me. So i asked to waiter– is that chow mein noodle is much thinner than rice noodle. I liked the chow mein but, next time i will order rice noodle cause i like thick noodles. There was lot’s of people orders by phone and picking up the foods. I should do that someday. But the store provides hot sauce that i like. Anyway! I would recommend this restaurant to people and definitely will go back to try some other menu or eat the one that i ate this time.

I have bookmarked this place for a long time based on the fact that I have never had Cambodian food before and this place has raving reviews from many people on my Unilocal follow list. This place is far from me and in a rather worrisome neighbourhood so it took a long time before i was able to find someone who is willing to venture here.
Their hours are also a little European — closing between lunch and dinner and not serving lunch three days of the week. It is a mom and pop shop after all though, so that’s fair.
The front service person who takes your orders and cash is extremely nice and friendly. Having perused the menu, I wasn’t sure what on the menu is thai and which is cambodian, so we asked him. He said pretty much everything is cambodian hmm… we ended up ordering the spicy pad thai with beef, and the kako khmer chicken (i pretty much figured if it says khmer then it has to be cambodian).
The pad thai was delicious, but the noodle to other ingredient ratio was a little off. A lot of vegetables and beef ad not enough noodles. It would have been fine except the beef was really jerky. The chicken came with rice and was also delicious.
Overall the food is great but I didn’t feel like I was eating traditional Cambodian food. The menu felt more like a downtown thai restaurant than what i was expecting. I don’t think it’s really worth my almost 2 hour public transit trek to get down there.

The portions are ginormous… if you come here, bring friends… or share a plate…
It was tasty but i was disappointed with my chicken shrimp item… giant portion, two shrimps :(
Food was ok… if i’m in the area with friends and craving Thai, i’ll drop by… good value…

I’ve never had much interest in the St. Cl-​area, but I find myself heading here in a hangry vehicle about twice a month
One of my BFFAAs with a car lives just south of me, so when he picks me up we’re heading north already and naturally migrate to this area. Desperately seeking snacks. We usually argue about where to eat, and then either end up going to Ikea (where no one ever argues!) or somewhere near here.
Last night we wandered into Khmer, and I’m glad we did. We had bamboo hot and sour and some Thai curry and they were both massive portions with a nice kick. If you’re a pretty princess be aware this is your typical cheap and dirty to-​go Thai joint, so don’t be expecting them to roll out the red carpet
PEPPER POINTS for their silly art. Big fan.
