Since there is no shortage of selection in the GTA, the choice as to where to dine can be a tough one—especially when places that serve delicious Thai food are plentiful across cities.
When it comes to great Thai food, every aspect is important. Is there an incredible balance of flavours? Is the curry sweet and spicy enough? How on point is the pad Thai? How mouth-watering is the mango salad? And, how spicy can the food get?
Both Mississauga and Oakville are known for their respective food scenes and both offer a ton of commendable Thai joints—but only one city can have the absolute best hotspots.
