Thai One On

I drop by here once and a while to have the lunch special, I usually have green curry in coconut rice and am never disappointed. The staff here is friendly and the food is usually good. It’s almost always empty everytime I drop by so not sure how they are during rush times but the lunch specials are affordable and tasty!

Went there with the wife for dinner. The place looked closed with all the lights off and nobody inside. Only the open sign made me try to open the front door.
Once inside the owner turned on some lights and we sat down in a booth. Not sure what was going on with the booth but there was missing padding and i ended up sitting on boards.
We looked through the menu and i made a joke to my wife about them labelling the noodle dishes as Asian Pasta, i really should have started to worry at that point.
The Spring rolls came out and they were ok.
Its is when the Pad Thai came out that the night took a turn for a nasty worse. The sauce tasted of tomatoes and vinegar, being really hungry I tried to ignore it but could not. Looking across the table at my wife who was also making a nasty face about the Pad Thai I tried to get the attention of the owner who rather then come over started to print our bill.
When i brought him the two plates of Pad Thai and asked why it tastes like acidic he told me that was how they make it in Thailand.
We still had to pay for the disgusting Pad Thai but he did give us a 15% discount.
This is my last trip here

So placed an order around noon on orderit for food to be delivered at 6:30. Delivery guy called me at 1 trying to deliver and had to call the restaurant to say the order was clearly placed for 6:30. Around 6:45 and no delivery yet I called the restaurant. The guy clearly know what the order was as he remembered my apartment and I didn’t need to specify it. He assured me it was on it’s way. I called again at 7:30 wondering what was going on as still no deliver and it was now an hour late, again the guy said it was on its way and just really bad traffic and they only had 1 delivery guy. I called again at 8 and demanded to speak to the manager who claimed I never placed an order with them despite having the email confirmation and seeing the pending transaction already charged to my credit card. Ended up calling orderit to cancel my order as these guys clearly have no idea wth they are doing.

I too neglected to Unilocal this restaurant before ordering delivery, never again
When the best thing you got was spring rolls you know there is an issue
My order was small. shrimp phad thai, beef devil and beef with glass noodles
The shrimp phad thai was tasty but looked and tasted like imitation phad thai equipped with phad thai sauce, stay away
The beef devil was billed as spicy but was sweet and was generally a regrettable menu choice
The beef with glass noodles was also billed as spicy but sadly disappointed, lets just say Unilocal will accompany all of my future orders, anywhere

How is this place still in business, especially considering the area it’s in? Horrible service! The staff barely understand English and even when you point to the item on the menu you want, they still bring out the wrong thing! And, to top it off, the food takes forever to come out! My husband and I ordered spring rolls (15 mins to come out and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Staff just standing around taking in their language). By the 40 minute mark, we got up and paid for our spring rolls and told them to cancel the pad thai and chicken dish we ordered as we ordered it 40 minutes ago!!! Not the first time this has happened, but this is the last time we’ll be here. We now frequent a much better thai restaurant with a nicer/​cleaner atmosphere, friendly staff that understand your order, and cooks that know how to make thai food and in a reasonable amount of time even when it’s busy… That restaurant is Riz (the location on Avenue Road south of Eg).
This Thai One On place is a joke ! Close down your restaurant already!

I think this place is not bad, but even Thai Express is better than this. The good thing is that it is not expensive, but it is not good. The taste gets boring so easily and it can be heavy for your stomach. I would search a better place.

I can’t believe I didn’t look at reviews before I ordered delivery from here for the first time last night. Am I crazy? Who does that anymore?! I must have been in a hunger trance.
Luckily it was not as terrible quality-​wise as the low Unilocal score implies — but I understand the «meh» rating and find it accurate. I actually thought the food was delicious, but totally overpriced for the underwhelming portions. They also don’t win any points by not providing any white rice to go with their entrees. WTF else are you supposed to put curry on?
To further break it down:
— Pad Thai ($ 10 – 15) was fairly tasty, as fast food Pad Thai generally goes. Overpriced.
— Thai Spicy Eggplant ($ 10) was tasty as hell. I think it was the sauce.
— Pineapple Red Curry Shrimp ($ 13) was also tasty as hell, but there was barely any shrimp to speak of. Or pineapple, for that matter. So it’s pretty much a $ 13 sauce.
— Ginger Tamarind Fish (a ludicrous $ 18) was not the fillet I anticipated, instead being a small clump of mostly skin and bones. But it was a tasty as hell clump in sauce. Are you sensing a pattern?
In summation: so much sauce, so little rice (none). Food is really good, but it’s a worthy option only if you have 1) some sort of significant discount and 2) rice.

Really a 2.5 star review.
This is my first time trying this place and I ordered it through a 40% off tasteaway promo code.
Estimate delivery time was a conservative 90 minutes and I got the food in about 70 minutes. They are on Avenue south of Wilson and I am at Yonge and Sheppard.
When I received the order, everything was provided: chopsticks, forks, sauces, napkins, crushed peanuts, and takeout menu with promo codes.
Without ever having been in one of their locations, I wasn’t totally sure what to expect but hopefully it would be decent Thai food.
The salad roll I ordered was the worst I ever had. The ingredients inside the roll were fresh and had a decent presentation within the delivery box with a slice of orange and some slices of fresh mango. The rolls were sliced into 6 pieces and presented like sushi. I’m glad they did this because the rice wrap was hard like plastic. I ate a couple of pieces with the wrap and then gave up. I emptied out the contents and threw out the «plastic rings». I was basically left with a mango salad which is what I should have ordered in the first place.
The pad thai with chicken and shrimp was average but still hot in temperature. I really had no issues with it and there was a decent amount of chicken, tofu and shrimp.
The chicken devil was also still hot in temperature but again, just average. It is quite spicy but nothing too hot. There are chili peppers mixed within so if you choose to eat them, it would make the chicken spicier. I also made my own rice at home to eat with this.
Despite this review, there’s certainly a chance I may try this place again… especially if tasteaway has another 40% off promo code. I just won’t order the salad roll. I probably wouldn’t bother to dine-​in either. Delivery suits me just fine.

Slow service and an overwhelmed kitchen. We cancelled ½ our order after waiting for an hour.
They did deliver a pad Thai. Which was over seasoned and a congealed mass of rice noodles.

The worker who is usually there at lunch is horrible that I stopped going there for takeout.
I always order over the phone and she will say it will be ready in 10 – 15 minutes.
I come by 25 min after and guess what? It’s not ready.
Actually, there were many cases where no one was at the front desk and was I was stuck waiting there for so long, missing my bus to go back to work.
A few times I saw my food ready to be packed by the chef but the worker is no where to be found.
After a while she finally comes out and packs the rice.
One time my food was ready, but she was taking her sweet time washing glasses at the front…
This restaurant is quite overpriced. Satay on the the Road is a lot better for the price.
I see why they need to use GroupOn to get business.

Ordered online from here tonight — got an entrée (Thai Spicy Coconut Eggplant) with apps and a drink. Was very difficult to eat as it came without rice, which was not noted anywhere in the ordering process. SO disappointing. WHen we called to complain they told us it was our own fault. Really bad service. Won’t order again.

Food is good. I love the cashew nut chicken. Eating area is no frills. Probably one of the better Thai places in the area.

My recommendation is don’t tie one on at Thai One On.
I called in for delivery as for a world class city, few places seem to be open or deliver after 10pm. I ordered Hot & Sour Soup, Thai spring rolls, Beef Curry Pad Thai. The Hot & Sour had a nice heat, but was not sour or any other taste for that matter. No surprise as I continue to find a good H&S north of Chinatown. Spring Rolls we’re equally bland and the Pad Thai mediocre at best. It is one of those meals you end up saying «well it was food» but beyond that nothing.

Review on Take-​out:
I’ve never frequented any of the other locations, so this was my first experience with them. Calling in was pretty painless and smooth; they got my order, Green Mango Salad and Basil Tofu and confirmed my name and gave me the time of pick up.
The basil tofu was still tender, but I think the sauce was oversalted. The Green Mango Salad was more regular, ripe mango than green mango but it was still juicy and freshly chopped. Rice is not included with the mains in the dinner menu and one of my pet peeves is not getting rice included with mains, but I digress.
Thai one on is worth a try.
