Thaifoon Downtown

We liked it, but didn’t love it. We’ve been to the Masonville location which I believe is slightly better.

I typically LOVE thaifoon and I'll go to the restaurant or order out to eat. The vegetarian options are usually wonderful. However, I ordered peanut panko crusted tofu for delivery the other day and when I bit into one of the tofu pieces there was salmon in it! I'm not sure how this happens but it's really not safe for vegetarians or someone with a seafood allergy that this contamination happens. I hope this was a rare occurrence and not something that often happens.

EDIT: The restaurant reached out to resolve the situation promptly and ensures it will not happen again.

Dundas street restaurant.
Ordered street pad Thai, with chicken and hot.
Hubby ordered pad Thai with chicken and med.
The Street Pad Thai ended up being regular, with beef and mild.
Usually I order from Masonville and never an issue, awesome service, accuracy, they even label the food so we know whose is whose.
The person never read back the order when I called it in, I did repeat it to make sure she understood, as I only ever order chicken or veggie.
So paid more money and it is not edible.

The food arrived with nothing written on the containers so we had no idea who's was who's. The peanuts they put on where so crushed up it was like a powder and made the pasta very dry and pasty. The pasta was also all cut up like a child was going to eat it. One order was missing the vegetables which are an extra charge, and also one order paid to add shrimp and it was 3 little pieces. Very disappointing, and won't be recommending or ordering from there again.

Incredible all around.great Service, Awesome food and a good upscale feel In the restaurant. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other thai restaurants that I've eaten at, but service and ambience far better than any other place

Always go here with my family! Amazing food and definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. They have foods ranging from mild to very spicy if you’re into that. (Be careful ordering the really spicy options). The Thai iced tea is very nice as well although a bit pricey. Great options at thaifoon and a must try if you’ve never been!

I’ve travelled to thailand before and had pad thai and to be honest THAIFOON has the best authentic PAD THAI i’ve ever tried here in london. A must place to try if you’re craving thai food

Great ambience, warm hospitality and palate of great Thai varieties for your picking.best place in London to dine inn if your looking for thai food.

Food was delicious! Service was a bit slow. Street parking can also be a bit tough to find by the downtown location. But overall a good experience and will be going back.

First time eating at this restaurant. Amazing food friendly staff, clean atmosphere nice ambiance. Halal chicken options! Highly recommend trying out this place!

Love this place. Their chilli chicken and peanut pasta is the best. They have a great cocktail list. Their servers are always great. Its always been a great experience.

The vibe of the restaurant definitely masked the quality of the food. Golden shrimp appetizer was flavour less and lackluster. Thai green curry had over cooked shrimp that were so hard and rubberized. Curry had no other flavour beside green chillies.

The quality of food here was matched by frozen food at the grocery store

Their Pad Thai is absolutely amazing. I’ve dined in twice and ordered several times on Uber eats and my experience dining in has always been amazing. The best I’ve had in North America.

Horrible experience. Ordered food from Uber eats. They ended up sending the wrong order, and well one of the dishes I ordered was missing. I heard a lot of great reviews of this restaurant, so I was expecting a lot more, definitely disappointed. Won’t order again.

We tried taifun on Dundas when it first opened- which is good number of years ago. The experience was so bad on all levels that we didn't bother to go back. As a result we hadn't visited the Masonville location until about 3 weeks ago when a friend asked us to join for a work meeting there. The food was very nice, beautiful presented and the server was friendly and attentive. I went back on a whim after a long work day. I ordered for take out, the same dishes as a week before.well- the green curry was a completely different dish from the week before: different veggies, mainly coarsely sliced onions.completely different taste as if a completely different chef came in with his own, different green curry (paste). The Stir Fry Thai Basil beef was more or less flavourless, unless you bit on a thai basil leaf. - a good restaurant in my book is where you are not impressed once but where you can count on consistently. - I guess Quin Nhi for the win- they have been superbly consistent for the better part of 15 years that we have been going there. Too bad Taifoon can't be our other to-go-to place.

The food is NOT CONSISTENT! I have had both dine in, and take out experiences at this Dundas location. The first time I order something it is NEVER the same the second time around. Ordered Pad See Ew once, and it was pretty decent, a bit skimpy on the vegetables but there was a good portion of noodles and the sauce was nice. Ordered a second time a couple weeks later and it was totally the opposite. Hardly any noodles, mostly vegetables that were still raw, and the sauce was greasy. Ordered the same salads more than once and they’re never the same portion size. Once I complained about the inconsistency and their excuse was that were busy. So this is a restaurant that operates on the basis of NOT being prepared for a busy night. Oh, and that excuse was told to me by their manager.

The food and drinks were great. Literally the best pad Thai I've ever had (street food version). Everything we had was good though.

We tried many of the appetizers here and they were all very good. The street style pad thai was easily the best pad thai I've had. Even though they were completely full our server was friendly and attentive. He was very interested in our opinion of the food which shows they care about their customers.

I really like thaifoon. I am obsessed with the street style paid Thai and the Tom Yum Soup. I do wish you offered a large Tom Yum Soup size. The restaurant has great food but it is a bit more expensive compared to other Thai restaurants. I wasn’t impressed with the portion size of one of the currys or its portion size. I got and would not get it again. I think the noodle dishes are the tastiest and better value. Some of my other favourites include the peanut pasta, drunkard noodle. I recommend making a reservation in the future because last time I was told the wait would be an hour and half (masonville location). We will be back!

Food was excellent, sercice was good. Modern aesthetic. Portions were adequate, in some cases generous. The coconut soup was a mix of creamy coconut and warm spice, capsaicin heat with flavourful smokiness. Hint of cilantro, not tio much. Well balanced and served steamy hot. The satay sauce srrved with the crispy xhicken skewers was delightful, dense and delicious and you can never get enough of it.
Tidy amd friendly woth an air of finer dining. I didnt care for the metal chopsticks though the aesthetic is very fine they were awkward to use. Blame my western raised fingers I suppose, but I didn't care for them. It was an afternoon visit for a late lunch and it was nit busy at all. Parking downtown was nightmarish, finding the place awkward, we walked right past it looking for it specifically the three of us. I don't blame the restaurant for this, just an observation. Once inside it's a nice experience and I'd eat there again. Probably one of the best Thai food experiences in London, but not THE best. The aesthetic is date night, business lunch. Staff attitude at first impressions (maitreD) was less comfortable friendly and more of that cold old formality of fine dining mindset, that they are doing you a favour by letting you in the door. Young lady server was a friendlier interactive experience and saved the dining experience for us on a whole, so did the kitchen staff. The food was quite good. The plates arrived HOT and fresh and pleasantly arranged. Formally trained kitchen staff was the immediate impression. Our server knew the menu items intimately and was patient with our fumbling over language barriers. All in all a good eating experience. Would I line up to eat here, perhaps. Would I call ahead for reservations for a larger group, yes. LGBTQ+ friendly, yes that was our perception and experience. Confusingly the washroom is behind the bar by the kitchen door but on the main level, so that's a bonus for accessibility. Though sadly not what I'd call wheelchair friendly. We didn't sample the bartender's skills this visit, perhaps next.
