Savor Thai Toronto

Green curry

The clearest window into a Thai kitchen's palate — look for one that balances coconut richness against a sharp, herbaceous green paste without tipping into sweetness

Pad Thai

The litmus-test dish — at this level it should arrive with proper wok char, tamarind depth, and a clean, non-gluey noodle texture

Tom Kha soup

Coconut-galangal broth that reads simultaneously sour, sweet, and gently spiced — a reliable barometer of kitchen precision

Mango sticky rice

The canonical Thai dessert — worth ordering if the kitchen uses ripe Ataulfo mango in season and properly fermented sweet rice
