The only thing that was not to my liking was the mango sticky rice. I get the part where you need to be unique but the rest of the menu is classic Thai dishes without compromises then why would you add a gimmicky chocolate shell for the mango sticky rice? It overpowers in sweetness to a degree that the wife and I couldn’t eat it after a few spoons. I get the gimmick of breaking the chocolate layer etc but maybe consider making it a little fresher, maybe a scoop of zesty ice cream or whatever else to make it more digestible.
Otherwise definitely a place to come back again.
On my next visit to Toronto I will definitely go again to try out some other dishes. Definitely the best place in town for Thai food.
️ Mackerel fried rice. Fusion dish that makes sense. Lemongass meets smokey katsuobushi. Huge portion size.
️Islamic noodles. Good balance of spicy, sweet, salty and rich.
This time I discovered two new dishes and they were excellent!
️ Rolled tofu skin with shrimp
️ Deep fried frog legs.
Highly recommend these dishes for your next trip to Koh Lipe!
(Edit) thank you so much Koh Lipe for your in- depth feedback to my review. Honestly I have never received this type of warm & pleasant ( not generic ) feedback from the restaurant before. Thank you!!
The atmosphere was good and the service was friendly.
For the appetizer, I had the Peek Gai Tom Yum (fried chicken wings). They had a lemony rub and a nice crunch (7.3/10). The sweet dipping sauce was good, but they barely gave me enough for four wings, I would have liked a lot more.
The main was the Khao Neow Gaeng (less spicy). The rice was actually pretty good, but the curry lacked a lot of flavor and was almost bland. The chicken was tender but had a small bitter taste to it. Maybe I’m just not familiar with this specific type of curry, but it was a 4.5/10 for me, mostly saved by the rice.
The bathroom is upstairs and is pretty small, so it’s not very accessible, but it was clean. 7/10.
Then came the star surprise: Koe Sora Panda Toast for dessert —crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dangerously easy to devour. Sweet, playful, and a perfect way to end the meal.
Overall, great vibes, solid Thai flavors, and a dessert that steals the show. A few tiny tweaks and this could easily be a 5-star spot—but for now, a very happy 4 stars and we’d definitely come back! ️
Shrimp dumplings were delicious with a herby spicy sauce. Pad thai was really tasty and the portion was huge. We tried their pineapple curry which was a feature item with sticky rice. Sticky rice were sweet but the flavour of chicken balances out the dish. I also ordered thai iced tea and the sweetness was perfect in it.
We began with the Pineapple Mint Smoothie, a one-litre share meant for the table. It arrived vibrant and icy, striking the perfect balance between ripe tropical sweetness and clean herbal freshness. It was refreshing rather than sugary, acting as both a drink and a palate cleanser, especially welcome alongside spicier dishes.
The Moo Tod was immediately memorable. Perfectly fried pork that was crisp on the outside yet tender inside, it felt light and refreshing rather than heavy or greasy. The fried pork belly followed and leaned unapologetically into indulgence, with crackling skin and rich meat offset by a chili lime sauce that was spectacular. Bright acidity, heat, and citrus cut through the richness and elevated every bite.
The Pad Thai showed restraint and skill. Rice noodles were coated evenly in tamarind sauce with a gentle sweetness and tang, while egg, tofu, bean sprouts, chives, and ground peanuts provided balance and texture. It felt classic, comforting, and carefully executed, with protein options that made it accessible without diluting its character.
The Khao Pad Pla was bold and complex. Spicy fried rice with mackerel, egg, onion, carrot, and lemongrass delivered depth and savoriness, while katsuobushi flakes added a subtle umami lift. It was layered, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
With an extensive menu that even includes a keto section, Koh Lipe Thai manages to be inclusive without compromising quality. Everything we tried was delicious, thoughtful, and worthy of its Michelin recognition.
The restaurant felt very grungy and the food wasn’t flavourful. Lack of chilly on the mango salad (which is a must), the stinky pea curry tasted very powdery and not left to marinate properly. It was prepared in a rush.
The mango sticky rice-though presents well -it should be written it’s presented in a white chocolate shell. I don’t like white chocolate so it was an unpleasant surprise.
Due to the time limit I felt we were eating take out. We were in and out in 40 mins. Thoughts to the owners: Slow things down folks, we spent over $150 for 3 people, let us enjoy the visit.
