Twin Fish Thai Cuisine

Had the calamari salad, shrimp rolls, basil shrimp (spicy), garlic lamb and crab fried rice. Food was delicious. Flavours were very well balanced and enjoyed every dish. Service was warm and friendly but the place was jammed by 7:30pm and the staff was overwhelmed resulting in very slow service. Not sure if it is normally this busy but if it is come early and avoid the rush. The food is definitely worth the wait though.

Good service.
Definitely not authentic Thai.
Not horrible, but probably wouldn’t come back, i think $ 7.50 for a Heineken bottle is a bit much.

Very nice restaurant with great friendly staff.
It’s casual enough for family but the décor also lends itself to a date night place. Prices are very reasonable. The food was ok. I had the Tom Yum soup to start that was delicious but the pineapple fried rice was just fair. The shrimp still had the tails on them. & the rice was dry. Also the wine list is very thin, they were out of the Pinot noir I wanted.
If half stars were an option I’d give them 3.5 stars.

This is my go to place for quality tasty Thai food! The management and staff are great, always helpful and pleasant. You won’t regret eating here.

We came here on a Saturday night around 7 pm with a large party (20+) with reservations. The restaurant seems like it can accommodate around 75 patrons at max capacity.
But this restaurant is not equipped to handle this many people.
You’d think restaurant owners would know or care that weekends are their most important nights of the week for business but sadly this place falls very short in that category.
Upon taking our seats, our waiter/​waitress was no where to be seen for another 20 minutes. 20 minutes to hand out menus and take basic drink orders seems a bit unreasonable during your important dinner service. Take note restaurant owner.
Our group of 20 was split up in two tables. We got their ginormous menus but our table of 10 only got 5 menus and were expected to share which I guess is fine if you’re running a third tier mom and pop shop but if you want your customers to have a complete dining experience and charge the prices you charge, it’s these little details that need more attention paid towards.
Let’s get to the food now. I ordered a beef green curry which came with a bowl of rice. The taste, texture and consistency of the liquid was comparable to other Thai curries I’ve had but sadly the gravest tragedy of this meal was serving food just lukewarm and not piping hot.
This is most likely attributed to the fact the restaurant is understaffed when near capacity and part of me wonders how long my food was sitting on deck waiting to be picked up and brought to me.
Anyhow, not the worse experience I’ve and but certainly far from the best. Hopefully they will address the staffing issue because it is kind of a shame to be understaffed on weekends. I’d really like to see this restaurant succeed so prove me wrong!

Been here a few more times this year. Best service in mississauga and maybe even toronto ’ s thai restaurants. They know my nephew by name and move tables and chairs around to accommodate.
Red snapper is crisp moist and delicious! I don’t feel like too much salt in everything and don’t feel heavy when I leave.
Love the desserts too! Definitely worth the visit :)

Unfortunately every time I have been here, I have gotten the same thing. –_–
But fortunately, there’s a reason! The Bangkok Pad Thai here is simply amazing. I possibly dare say one of the best in Mississauga! The price is higher than usual places but the portions make up for it.
The noodles are the perfect consistency (that actually blows my mind). And the flavor tastes so authentic. I had a serving, and then another half because my wife had not finished hers. I was so full but my mouth kept wanting more. My mouth is salivating from just writing this review to a point I am almost embarrassed to say.
Service was great — A couple of male servers were very friendly we had good conversations with each time we went.
The ambiance was not too heavy. A good mixture of romantic and family friendly.
Location is right in the same plaza as the AMC theatre (now Famous Players).
Great for date nights. Food and movie!
Recommendation: Bangkok Pad Thai (Beef is my preference) and make it a bit spicy =)

Our first visit, service was prompt and friendly, the restaurant very bright and clean with white linen table cloths. We shared an appetizer plate which would easily feed 4. The spring rolls were very good, the calamari excellent, crispy and full of flavour. The beef and chicken satay tender and flavourful. The rice paper rolls burst with flavour. Our mains, Basil curry red snapper, were very large portions and the fish moist and tender, the curry sauce adding to the flavour of the fish. It came with curry shrimp and vegetables which were nicely done. Pricing is reasonable and portions quite generous. None of the food was greasy, salty or over spiced, rather it was fresh and full of taste.

Twin Fish is one of my favourite restaurants in Mississauga. Now, I finally get to review them since I just went there yesterday!!! I’ve gone there probably over eight times, mostly for lunch, and I was never truly disappointed!!! I also love the interior design with abstract art on the two main walls.
Happy: They have lunch specials from $ 9 – 12, whether you want curry with coconut rice, noodle/​rice dishes or beef soup noodle (viet). The best part is that some of the dishes come with their mango salad and it’s delicious and fragrant. It’s a generous portion that you can eat as an appetizer or dessert. They are never short of waiters which is nice to see. The food comes hot and nicely displayed. This time, I had their eggplant + basil dish which had the right spice with steamed rice. My friend had the pad thai with chicken and he always orders that one. Must be that good!
Not happy: Sometimes, depending on what you order, it can be salty. Well, that’s my opinion since I like it consistent. If you don’t go at the right time at lunch time, it can get very busy and once, I had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Keep it mind, it’s close on Sundays.
Verdict: Duh? I would always go back when I have a free lunch hour and dinner — to treat myself! You won’t be disappointed. And since you are there, you might want to catch a movie at Cineplex.

Enjoyable Thai food. Some dishes stand out over others – the cashew chicken is one of the best in the area we found the Massaman curry a bit too sweet. We ordered the crispy spring rolls for the appetizer, which we really enjoyed. The fish dishes are excellent– however I would love the option to have the fish not breaded – especially when ordering multiple fish dishes. Portion sizes are reasonable and two people could easily share one entrée. Service was very slow – due to the fact they appeared to only have two servers handling dozens of tables.

I’ve been on the hunt for a good Thai place in Mississauga for quite some time, and Twin Fish was the next name on my list. It is hidden in the middle of the movie theatre complex, and the recent construction doesn’t help.
We ordered take out, including the pumpkin curry soup, and lunch specials (basil eggplant and golden curry with beef). Both specials were around the $ 10 range and came with corn soup and rice.
Now, I was pretty underwhelmed with the latter two dishes. I’ve had worse, I’ve had better. The flavours didn’t wow me (not enough basil, not enough heat). I will say that they packed the golden curry with beef, although it was not as tender as it should be.
Given these critiques, I LOVED the pumpkin soup! It was so flavourful, as the curry and coconut married well with the rich pumpkin. It was a thick soup and so, so good. I could have eaten a whole jug and be utterly content.
So, check for soup, needs improvement for the rest. Not bad, but the hunt continues.

We had takeout on a random evening and decided to try a myriad of things. They told us it would take 20 – 30 minutes and it was ready when we picked it up 20 mins later. Of course I didn’t take photos because for some reason I never remember to take photos when it’s takeout!
We had pad Thai, a red curry, a beef stir fry, Tom kha gai soup, seafood fried rice. Every dish was delicious! Next time we would most likely eliminate the beef stir fry for something a bit more adventurous. Try the soup… it’s a a delicious combination of sour, sweet and savoury. A must order!
Glad to have this neighborhood gem in my area. Will definitely become a staple resto for my family!

A group of us was in town for business and we booked a table here. They seemed lost about my reservation, but quickly accommodated us anyway. They started us with the Twin Fish mixed appetizers, which were all tasty. I especially liked the Thai spiced calamari and the mango spring roll. The dipping sauces were all sweet, so they brought me some smoky Thai chili paste to use.
The Tom Yum soup was good. Tangy and tart. Good flavor.
Now, the reason for 4 stars: I asked for my green curry with beef to be made spicy. They did it! The waiter said if it was not hot enough he didn’t know what to do, and that if I ate it, he would shake my hand. I just love it when I ask for something to be made spicy in a Thai restaurant and they don’t wring their hands and worry if it’s too hot. Bring it! They did just that. The dish was flavorful and not just pure heat. The green curry sauce tasted very good. Plenty of good ingredients, good beef. And spiked with minced fresh red Thai chili. Nice job in the kitchen!
The waiter did shake my hand, as did a couple others who emerged from the kitchen. To me, it was not amazing feat to finish it, but I suppose they do not get a lot of requests like mine. That makes it even more admirable that they did precisely what I asked.

I really enjoy this place, their menu is extensive and pretty authentic. I always get the coconut soup and it is by far the best I have ever had, creamy and delicious.
I have always ordered out and the service has been amazing, quick and friendly.
As for the price, this seems like upscale dining and I usually pay around fifteen-​twenty dollars for lunch.

I’ve always loved Thai curry and this place does not disappoint! entrées are also decent quality and for a fair price too. the food was prepared very quickly. I haven’t experienced any problems with customer service — imo the waiters here are super friendly and energetic!
the location is pretty convenient for a meal before/​after a movie at the courtney park theatre.
fun fact: they surprise customers with the birthday song playing on speakers and a sparkler (upon request). perfect for if you want to embarrass a family member or friend because that birthday song goes on for 3 rounds LOL
thanks for reading my review! hope it helps :)

2.5 stars for the food. Ordered the bangkok style pad thai and general chicken lunch special. Both were delicious and represent the bulk of the 2.5 stars. Things started out well here. Got seated right away and it was pretty empty at the late lunch time I arrived. Only two other tables and one was already served. Food came out in a reasonable time. Then I tried to pay and that was when things got weird. Our server keep disappearing to do something in the back when I already asked for the bill and our food to be packed to go. It took forever for someone to finally bring the bill and then for the debit machine. Service has to be considered from start to finish. It finished poorly and for that I will not return here. If it was a full house I would be very understanding but it was empty and I was more than patient. 2.5 ** stars for the food alone.

Thursday June Fourth. I, with good reason, finally make it to Twin Fish. The good reason, It is my first man date. Seriously. A meeting between two male strangers in a highly reviewed Thai restaurant. Ok, you must be wondering why I would meet a male stranger in a Thai restaurant. Well, let’s all go back a couple months ago.
Rivergrove Community Centre Pool. I was taking a break from swimming laps in the pool when I was approached by this individual who entertained me in conversation regarding my underwater headset. This pool side encounter prompted an awkward in change room conversation regarding this and that and well, we exchanged cell phone numbers. In the change room??? No, we didn’t talk in the shower or towel whip one one another either. To tell you all the truth, I didn’t expect anything to come from this awkward meeting but he called me a week later. We exchanged texts even made some attempts at meeting at the pool for lane swims. But alas, to both our dismay, nothing came of it up until two weeks ago!!! To my surprise I had just missed a call from my stranger buddy, but no voice mail. So what does Benny do? I call him back and leave a voice mail. Well, a week goes by with no response and out of the blue, while snugglin in bed with my Baes, he calls. Omg,. Should I answer or should I just let it go to voice!!! I answer. We exchange pleasantries, send texts back and forth to one another, and to sum it up, a lunch date is set. Twin Fish here I come!
Back to the present. It is one o’clock, I enter the restaurant and I am immediately surprised with the restos contemporary design and crowd. I was bit jaded when I initially walked up to the place but was proved wrong. I quickly eyeball the patrons seated in the resto but do not see my stranger buddy. Anywho, I am promptly greeted by a host. He inquires as to my table requirements and I proudly state, «a table for two please, I am meeting someone here». One fifteen. I have strategically seated myself so I can see all who enter the restaurant. Fashionably late I think to myself. I order a Thai Beer — Singha. Well, two beers later and on an empty stomach, wait, cue music, All by Myself — Eric Carmen version please.
«When I was young, I never needed anyone, All by myself, don’t wanna be, all by myself, anymore».
My text to my stranger buddy read as follows, «I want to think that you are running late, but on this fine afternoon, optimism is not one of my strong suits». Cue music,
«All by myself, don’t wanna be,».
I call the host and and advise him that I would be dining alone today. Lmfao. I was ditched. Left for dead. I must Unilocal this. Lol.
My order from the Lunch Express Menu: one Mango Salad w/​Chicken Satay and to wash that down with, one Basil Fish please and thank you. OMG. Mango Salad w/​Chicken Satay. Soooo good. Chicken moist and so delicious combined with peanut sauce. Mango Salad portion was huge and so tasty. I only wish it had more heat to it. Next time I will ask for Thai Spicy and see what they come out with. The Basil Fish. Kudos to the chef. He has come up with a winner here. I ate slowly and savoured each heavenly bite. The Snapper was breaded and cooked to perfection. All the elements, from the basil sauce to the peppers, in this dish melded together in perfect harmony. Oh man. My only beef with Twin Fish was the daily soup that came with my Basil Fish dish. Pituey! Augh!. Hot and Sour my battie-​ol! I ate it all anyways. Lol.. BTW. Wifi password is, «godblessyou». Peace out my fellow Unilocalers.

I came here with two of my friends on a Tuesday before a movie at AMC. At first, I was skeptical that our table would be neglected as it was a booth located in the corner of the restaurant. In the contrary, the service was great and food came quickly (around 10 minutes after we ordered).
I have mixed ratings when it comes to their food as it depends on what dish you order. The ‘favourite dishes’ have the twin fish icon beside them on the menu. My friends and I all ordered ‘favourites’. One friend ordered the Thai salad, which was great. I had the Bangkok Street Style Pad Thai with the addition of chicken, which I thought was mediocre because I’ve had better pad Thai elsewhere (Salad King). I believe my other friend ordered some type of Thai Spicy noodles, which he also thought was ‘okay’. We also got an appetizer called Crispy Nest Roll that came with a dipping sauce, which I thought was quite similar to a Vietnamese spring roll. This appetizer was very tasty and I would definitely reorder this appetizer if I return to this restaurant.
Pros:
— Location of the restaurant is great and is in the same plaza, which is a walking distance (1 minute) from the movie theatre AMC
— Service was quick and friendly
Price: mediocre

I gave you a 4 star in September ’14 and sadly within 6 months, you’ve gone to a new low of 1 star. What happened to the food and service? Such a shame! I used to love this place and would stop by whenever I could because I loved your food, service and ambiance. The last two visits has been such a disaster — I am left with no choice but to change my review. On both occasions, the food tasted like it was a few days old and reheated in the microwave, the chicken was completely inedible and had a strong stench like wet dog food. We used to get complimentary steamed rice with curry dishes and you don’t do this anymore ?! (You need to update your menu as it still indicates that you do) !!!
Your service was horrendous, even though the restaurant was not packed for such slack from them — entrees brought out before appetizers and without rice. Were we supposed to drink the curry? No water was served until we asked them which took forever to get, then to refill was like an endless wait until we stood up to signal them to come over and get it done. The spring rolls brought out after entrees were done, had processed canned chicken in them and were disgusting. After putting your customers through such nonsense, have some courtesy to take the apps off the bill since it was an error on your part or at least apologize if you can’t afford it and but can somehow afford to lose loyal customers.
Oh and while you have beautiful wonderful Biblical sayings in the restaurant and play worship music there, please behave more Christian like and either offer complimentary tea to everyone dining instead of choosing only a few guests to offer this to or do it on the d-​lo at your discretion instead of making other customers look at each other in disbelief at your generosity to only ‘certain’ customers.

I was craving something sweet, sour, salty, and spicy… Thai Food!
I couldn’t tell if this place was closed till I came a little closer and saw people dining in.
Very Friendly service! They greeted us and sat us down. It wasn’t busy at all. The wall arts are pretty cool. The ambience is intimate but relaxed. You can also bring your family here for a celebratory event.
I’ve been here before and ordered the pad Thai, it was OK. Their fish dishes were amazing! So we went with the fried red snapper with sweet and sour sauce. We also ordered the seafood shrimp paste fried rice, calamari and chicken coconut soup.
The soup was great! Very flavorful! You can really taste the lemongrass and the sweetness of the coconut milk to balance it out. The calamari was a bit too oily for the ones that were at the bottom of the plate but the ones on top were very crispy and all were cooked to perfection, not chewy at all! The sauce that came with it is a sweet and sour almost light syrup consistency. The rice dish came and boy was it goooood! You can taste the smoky shrimp paste flavour with shrimp, squid, mussels, and crab meat (imitation kind, not a fan of that). The squid was cooked perfectly. I find that some restaurant can’t pull off cooking squid perfectly on a rice dish but this place killed it. The fish has finally arrived! A nice piece of red snapper fillet! So meaty packed full of flavour with veggies and garnished with lime (which I squeezed all over the dish) and grapefruit yum!
Now this was my biggest mistake about what I ordered. Both dishes are so packed full of flavour, I couldn’t eat much of it. It almost made every bite saltier and saltier. Next time if I order the fish, I would order plain rice! That would balance the sweet and sour fish very well instead of a fried rice type of dish. The fried rice was good on its own. The portion size was very generous on all dishes. The food came out pretty quickly.
Overall this place was great and intimate! I would come here again!
