Guests consistently highlight attentive, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, with staff going the extra mile to accommodate dietary needs and offer thoughtful recommendations. The drinks program and desserts often shine, while the food ranges from crowd-pleasing pad Thai and curries to crispy appetizers, chicken wings and vegetarian options, all presented with care.

First visit but not the last one. Tried Shrimp pad Thai & Chicken stir fry with peanut butter sauce which was really good. Fusion menu choices. Friendly service & nice setting.
Great food & an attentive service 😊 we had the chicken wings as an appetizer & they were very good as well as the pad thai & everyone in the group enjoyed their meal. Make sure to order the freshly baked cookie with ice cream for dessert it's delicious 🤤
I recommend & will be back👌

Overall, the food here is fine, but it's important to set the right expectations before coming.
If you're expecting the typical Thai flavors that many people in Canada are used to - bold, salty, fish-sauce-forward, & strongly seasoned - this place may feel different. They don't use fish sauce or heavy, strong sauces, & the flavors are much lighter & more subtle.
The owner actually came out to explain their concept, mentioning that their cooking style comes from a specific region in Thailand, where the flavors are quite different from what's commonly known as'traditional Thai food' overseas.
This restaurant is also located in the Little Italy area, with a more Western crowd, so some flavor adjustments are understandable. That said, while it may not match the typical Thai food expectations, the food itself is still enjoyable.
One small note: the crispy noodle dish tasted a bit unusual & wasn't our favorite. However, the rice dish is recommended.
Je donnerais 10 étoiles si possible!
La nourriture était incroyablement délicieuse. Les frites bien croustillantes & douces à l'intérieur, la soupe à la noix de coco recommandée par le serveur très savoureuse & légèrement piquante dans la gorge, le pad thai plein de saveurs, le général thai croustillant avec une sauce riche pour agrémenter le tout (encore meilleur quant à moi piquant donc aucun regret de l'avoir demandé!).
Mais encore plus incroyable que la nourriture était le personnel. Chaleureux, souriant, qui s'assurait régulièrement que tout était bon & que nous étions satisfait. Ils ont dépassé toutes mes attentes & fait vivre une expérience mémorable hors du commun.
Que ce soit d'avoir accepté de rendre mon met piquant selon mon descriptif de tolérance donné, de m'avoir offert un à côté moitié moitié riz-frite face à mon indécision entre les deux, ou pour nous avoir donné des bols supplémentaires afin de pouvoir partager nos mets, tout étant extraordinaire & il me fait plaisir de les recommander à tous 💯
Je n'hésiterai pas à revenir pour revivre cette belle expérience! Merci beaucoup Bryan & merci également à l'autre serveuse (désolé de ne pas avoir demandé ton nom) qui a également contribué à faire de notre souper une très belle expérience; je trouve important de le souligner!😊
You gotta have pretty big cojones to open up a Thai restaurant in the heart of little Italy! The food was absolutely delicious!! Timbum & Helen giving Top notch service! We will definitely coming back!

Just found this gem…. Wow, incredible food, pad Thai suggested by the waiter was phenomenal. But cocktails are the main dish here; the lady which I believe is the owner, is pulling one great cocktail after the other… really, hidden treasure.
I spent 6 weeks in Thailand, & the food at this resto was just fantastic. The spicy papaya salad was delicious enough to be worth the pain. The Korean spicy tofu was great. Always nervous trying a new restaurant, but I see why their reviews are so good.
We had a great experience there. My favorite was the red curry pad Thai with chicken & shrimp! Korean chicken wings were also fantastic. The only dish that was mediocre was the crispy noodles with beef. Brian was our server & he's great! Definitely would go back!
Quelle belle trouvaille que ce charmant petit resto Thaï. Belle carte de cocktail nous permet de commencer ou finir en beauté un merveilleuse expérience culinaire remplie de saveurs de ce coin du monde. Super atmosphère décontractée & service très personnalisé... On a adoré & nous reviendrons bientôt.

Interesting phò with broth separate from ingredients. Not sure I see the fusion between poutine & Thai, they seem to exist isolated from one another in the menu.
Me & my wife love this place from great service. the cocktails she takes her time & there are great ..the food what to say it's authentic Thai food I always tell the chef that his cuisine is excellent five stars
Located in Little Italy, Tibum is a trendy spot that offers a unique blend of traditional Thai flavors from flavorful curries to spicy stir-fries. It is known for its tasty Thai fusion cuisine & creative cocktail lounge 🥟🥘🌶️🍹
