Lime Asian Kitchen

It was a casual Sunday evening. The restaurant wasn’t overly crowded. The service was quick (and we actually asked the staff to come back a few times while we chatted before ordering and then chatted instead of eating our appetizer, etc) and friendly. And the food was GREAT!
First of all, we came here because of the picture of the fried bananas & ice cream. It looked so good, I was tempted to order and start with that first. But alas, we decided to try the tofu frites. It was fantastic. I could easily eat 3 orders of that! There were some slightly sauted chili and onion that the fried tofus were tossed in (not a whole lot). I didn’t think the tofu was very oily (one of the reviews mentioned that). I thought it was light and tasty.
Then we ordered the honey-​garlic eggplant (I love eggplant!) and the pad-​thai (veggie). We commented to each other about how pad thai is seemingly always different at every restaurant. So it’s sort of a gamble to try it each time. This was one of my favourite pad-thai’s that I’ve had in a while. What a delight. I’m not quite sure how to describe it other than the flavourables were just bang on for me. There was no peanuts in it. It wasn’t overly wet, nor very dry. The perfect consistency, and the other ingredients tasted fresh (bean sprout, veggies). It was very good. The honey-​garlic eggplant was great too. Can’t really go wrong with those combinations. Note though, if you order this, get some rice too. It is a little on the salty side. We tried to eat it with the pad thai and then decided we needed to try it with plain white rice, and that worked out really well.
For the finale… fried bananas with green-​tea ice cream. Bananas were perfectly fried. Still crispy on the outside. Still warm. Banana on the inside was DEFINITELY warm, so don’t throw the whole thing in your mouth (eat it slowly =). I thought the green-​tea ice cream was a good pairing, but it was a little bitter to me given the sweetness of the bananas, though it’s not necessarily a complaint. I mean, it’s supposed to taste that way and probably intended to cut back the sweetness. But the entire time I was eating it, I did wonder if a tart sorbet would go well with fried bananas though… hmmm
overall though, it was very good. I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

Been 3 times. Dine-​in dinner. Delivery dinner. Lunch combo takeout. Food is pretty good but tends to be very sweet and not authentic Asian. Small portions and very expensive, in my opinion. Dine-​in dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids was $ 150.

Although I feel like this isn’t really an authentic Thai experience I do like the food here. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I really liked the fresh rolls here, the spring rolls and Gyoza weren’t anything special. My favorite main is probably the short rib and sticky rice, I love how they use sticky rice! Their juices and Thai iced tea (if you like sweet drinks) are pretty good as well.

This place describes itself as Pan Asian which means it has a variety of Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, etc. dishes instead of specializing in one thing. I’m always a bit weary when a restaurant does this but decided to give it a go anyways. I tried a couple of dishes from here and found them to be light on the spices. Again, another restaurant catering to tempered western flavors which is to be expected. The curry I ordered has 2 hot peppers beside it on the menu but hardly had any bite. It’s not a bad neighborhood option if you have the craving but don’t expect anything too authentic.

Summary: there’s a reason why it’s empty
Ambiance: average
Service: poor — had to flag down the waiter many times.
Food: Tofu frites — disgusting (requested refund), Limes famous street style pad Thai — 2/​10, Black diamond eggplant — ⁴⁄₁₀
Recommendation: Food is TERRIBLE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I’m convinced the previous Unilocal reviews were submitted by friends of the owner.

Really nice Thai restaurant and good Thai food. The curry was delicious, but my complaint is that they are unable to make the curry less spicy (it was very spicy). Most places offer option to make the curry mild, or medium spicy; not here. Another complaint is chicken… the meat was rubbery, I did not like it at all.
This is definitely a place to return and try more dishes. I am not sure I would choose chicken again, but the veggies were really good. I also want to add that the customer service here is excellent. They were all very friendly and attentive.

This place has great thai food. The thai authenticity ranges by the dish but overall everything I ordered was great. The restaurant was beautiful but service on the other hand was below average with many instances were we had to flag the waiter to get some attention or the bill.

This is probably my fave thai restaurant in the city. While the popular ones like Pai, Khao San Road, and Sukhothai are not bad, Lime wins with attention to detail, stellar service and a nice atmosphere (no crowds). Came on a Tuesday night so it wasn’t a surprise that there were only 3 – 4 tables seated.
Their Thai Ice Tea is bomb — please get this. Creamy and just the right level of sweetness.
For apps, we had their tofu frites, which is fried strips of tofu sprinkled with chili salt and pepper seasoning. These were also amazing and came with a sriracha mayo and sweet chili dipping sauce. Their beef tenderloin skewers were extremely tender and flavourful.
As for mains, we chose their Panang Curry with beef & coconut sticky rice and House Fried Rice (can’t remember if this is the actual name). The curry was good, although it was outshone by all or the other amazing food items. It was slightly sweet but a little too creamy and felt quite heavy. Sticky rice didn’t help and just made it more filling. The fried rice though… this was so good! With bits of fried chicken and avocado, which brought a really interesting texture to the rice. The rice itself was perfectly seasoned and flavourful.
Service was super attentive, and the owner (I think) came to pour our water 3 – 4 times during our meal. Best part is that the prices are not crazy — for 2 people, our bill came to $ 60ish before tips.

Place is pretty dope, love the décor and atmosphere. The service is great, quick and friendly. We ordered the Tofu Frites as the appetizer and it was life changing. They were seasoned and fried to perfection and came with two types of dipping sauces. We devoured it like vultures. As my main I ordered the veggie pad Thai which was good, but wish they asked me what level of spice cause it would have made it a bit better. Had to ask for it on the side. All in all, great place you must check it out.
P. s. Try the Thai Ice Tea!

Great quality food, service and atmosphere! Shared the coconut curry noodles and peanut chicken lunch special– both came with a side salad that was fresh with a orange vinaigrette!

Stopped by this place one day after work and was pleasantly surprised. Apparently the just opened about 7 months ago and this place is doing really well. I think the interior was very nice and clean, and the employees were providing good customer service.
The food was good but not excellent. I liked their thai curries but the texture and taste of the chicken was somehow rubbery and strange. Would like to come back and try another dishes.

I love this place! Always a go-​to for delivery. Everything we’ve tried is delicious! Can’t go wrong! So glad this opened in our neighbourhood.

I’ve ordered delivery from here twice. The food is delicious. I was having a craving Saturday night, but I couldn’t get through on the phone!

Had the veggie platter, green curry with chicken and yellow curry with vegetables and tofu. Great food. Highly recommend. Thai iced tea was delicious as well. Will definitely return.

The place looks cool and chilled, the food also looks good but taste not as good as what it looks, also i must say a little pricy.

Lime recently opened up in my area, and after reading the Unilocal reviews, I decided to give it a try for lunch. I called into the restaurant to place my take away order from the lunch combo menu. The ordering process was simple and the staff member I spoke to was very polite. My order was ready for pickup in less than ten minutes.
I walked into the restaurant, and as other users described it is beautiful inside. Very clean and modern.
Now for the food: I ordered the General Tso chicken with wonton soup and salad. The chicken was hot and crispy. The chili’s offered the right amount of spice to offset the sweet sauce coating the chicken. The plain jasmine rice was a necessary side. The wonton soup was flavourful, the broth alone will make for a return visit. The salad was a pleasant surprise, filled with field greens and an orange sesame dressing.
I will definitely be a regular!

So far so good. Been here once since their opening in May 2015.
Food nice and tasty. Range from 8-​$ 22 $. Average meal costing ~15 $Good selection of curry, wok dishes, soups and dim sum (basic) dishes.
Customer service very accommodating.
Décor modern and plenty of space.
Well worth a visit for some Thai, Chinese cuisine.

Great food and a cool looking place. Went there last night to try it out. We ordered pad thai, green curry chicken and coconut rice and also some appatisers. Everything was great. We will definitely come back. They are still working on getting there liquor permit, but go there for the food… it’s great!

A neighbourhood gem, new addition to Yonge & Lawrence area. Easy free parking on side streets, few minutes walk to restaurant. Still in soft opening stage but you can taste alot of passion in the food. Especially love the black cod & tofu fries. Cool loft décor idea & spacious tables. Couldn’t wait to go back when alcohol license is ready! In the meantime, try some authentic curries yum!
