Koh Lipe Thai in Downtown Toronto offers "the best and most authentic Thai food" with consistently delicious dishes and a vibrant ambiance. While the food is praised for its rich flavors and generous portions, the restaurant is noted for its "efficient staff" and quick service. However, some guests feel rushed due to the time-limited seating. Despite this, many appreciate the "excellent value" and "outstanding" culinary experience, making it a must-visit spot for Thai cuisine lovers.

The restaurant smelled bad, the server told us 1.5 hour seating limit, which is fine. But at an hour and 10 min once we paid and were just talking the server asked us to free up the table in 10 min. I didn’t like being rushed. The food was good, but nothing phenomenol.

Me and 2 friends, a total of 3 people. We booked a table at 6:15pm. And I think we started sitting at the table and ordering food at 6:30pm and we finished eating earlier than 7:30pm. At that time, we saw the service attitude of the staff that they wanted to chase away the customers, urging them to hurry up. Typically, our group had just taken the last food on the table and put it on our plate, then the staff took that plate and the accompanying dipping sauce without asking anything. When other tables paid the bill, I saw that the staff's attitude was very bad and they also talked about the tip issue with other tables. I don't understand why they set the tip percentage as 18-20-30, that's very unreasonable. If you are in doubt about the tip, the staff will rush you to pay (especially an older female staff who often calculates the bill for other tables) My bill was $82.70 + 18% tip which is $97.58. That would be normal for a table of 3 and for me because I usually tip 18% or more. But for this restaurant, I feel it is not worth it and I will not return.

Food is soo delicious here! My favourite Thai place in Toronto - and that's saying a lot! Service could be better (more attentive and available), but I still always enjoy a delicious Thai meal here! Can't wait to be back.

The food was amazing!! Definitely the best thai we have ever had! Service was not good as once they delivered the food they never came back to check if we needed anything. I would have ordered a few more drinks and maybe more food. We also had to wait a long time for your bill and eventually found a staff member and asked if we could please pay our bill. Overall if you like Thai food you must eat here!!!!!

Not the same Koh Lipe experienced in Scarborough. Food was super spicy and was very different from what was available at the Scarborough location. The menu was also limited. Service was good. No halal, whereas in Scarborough there were halal options and the restaurant was much nicer.

Great food, but poor service. We ordered quite a bit of food and the tables were tiny but the wait staff did nothing to accommodate proactively.
