Nimman Thai Cuisine

I LOVE Thai food. So when heading to a nearby Indian restaurant and I saw this place, plans changed and we ate here instead. The restaurant is tucked into the back of a small plaza but surprisingly seats quite a few patrons. The ambiance is simple but effective, with photographs of various Buddhist and Thai-​inspired images.
My hubby & I perused the extensive menu which had helpful pictures and star ratings for their most popular dishes. There are quite a few choices of appetizers like satay skewers and green mango or papaya or shrimp salads although we opted to forego the apps in order to try more main dishes. We ordered the pork Penang, a beautifully peanutty, slightly spicy curry dish served with green beans. I really enjoy the Penang curry at Thai Basil in Richmond Hill but this version at Nimman is an equally (if not more) delicious version IMO by nature of the sauce being less thick and having that refreshing kick that keeps you coming back for more.
We also ordered the chicken with long song sauce, and crispy cashew chicken. Of the dishes we ordered, the long song chicken was just ok but was served over rice and came with a bit of Thai shrimp paste, which added a slight saltiness and slight tanginess that elevated the dish.
My husband has long been trying to find a Toronto Thai restaurant that can replicate his favourite cashew chicken («H6») from a popular Houston Thai place called Kanomwan. Most restaurants have fallen short of his memory of his beloved Kanomwan cashew chicken. The crispy cashew chicken at Nimman is prepared with thinly battered chicken pieces, some bell peppers, onions, thinly sliced carrots, orange slices, and of course, cashews. Although Nimman’s version was not quite the thick barely-​there sauce that my hubby recalls, it was very very tasty. The crispy chicken pieces add a lovely texture contrast. We are excited to come back here to try it again with a custom order for the chef to make the sauce a bit thicker.
I’m not sure about other patrons who have had challenges with the service, but we found the wait staff to be very attentive and helpful, especially as far as discussing and suggesting how to custom order the crispy cashew chicken to make it closer to the way my hubby wants it.
Food pricing is reasonable. 3 main dishes and an extra bowl of rice came to ~$ 43. Although Mimico is a good 40 minute drive from where we live, we will definitely come back.

Wow. very good food. I got the chicken pad thai with extra sauce, cashew chicken and veggie rolls and crispy rolls. All were very tasty. I would definitely order from them again. I ordered the banana milkshake and I got to taste a sip of it (before it fell to the floor) I was a bit pissed but meh. they are really good

We ordered via justeat and the delivery arrived half an hour later than the estimated time on a normal weather day. In addition, the Thai Basil Noodle was tiny in portion (¹⁄₃ of the box was raw bean sprouts and the rest of the box was hardly full). It almost looked like someone’s leftovers. I am 110lb and I was hardly full. The Thai green curry was fine though. Overall, the food was tasty but the service and value for money needs work.

Very good restaurant, nice atmosphere with friendly staff. The regular Pad Thai is above average, but it’s the Pad Thai Hor Kai that really stands out. It’s wrapped with a fried egg and has amazing flavour. The Pad Thai Kob is also excellent with crispy wontons that melt into the dish. You won’t be disappointed here.

Been there a number of times. Consistently good on both service and food. I find that green mango boys has a better taste though.
Price is decent and is a nice atmosphere.
The last time we went then pad sew ee was a little too sweet. 3 dishes and two Thai iced teas was about $ 50 after taxes and tip

I ordered from here tonight and both my husband and I were very pleased with the meal.
Their online ordering system is extremely efficient and the food arrived hot and within an hour. The delivery man was extremely polite.
We had:
Authentic pad Thai — 3.5÷5 I thought it was a tad bland, my husband loved it. I guess it depends on your preference. This dish tasted great when mixed with other entrees.
Green curry chicken — ⁴⁄₅ this was medium spicey and had a very nice flavour. The chicken was cooked well.
Spring rolls — ⁵⁄₅
Basil beef ⁴⁄₅ — very tasty
After the meal we both agreed we did not feel heavy or like we overrate. The food was very good quality and well prepared. I will definitely order from here again!

I used to like this resto, but now I dont feel like ordering their food anymore. Lately the food is not as good as that when they just opened their business. And today, they changed the noodle in the pad see ew (soya noodle) that i ordered to the one that is usually used in making pad thai. Eventhough both noodles are made of rice ones, the width of the noodles are different. And I have never liked the narrow rice noodle in pad thai. Hence, i am so disappointed upon seeing the pad see ew that I ordered via phone arrived looking like pad thai with dark soya sauce. I had been their regular customer since they opened this resto. They should have the decency to at least call n tell me that they run out of the wide rice noodle instead of making one with pad thai noodle.

Ordered from here the night we moved into the area and food was excellent. The price was a bit high but we ordered a lot of stuff. Overall no complaints and they were much faster then what they estimated on the phone for delivery which is always nice.

Had some lunchtime delivery with impressive results.
Usually the first time I try any thai restaurant I feel an obligation to get chicken pad thai and spring rolls. I can admit the pad thai was a bit bland but once adding an entire container of hot sauce to it, was enjoyable. Spring rolls were quite tasty and an order is $ 5.95 and comes with 4 decent sized rolls and dipping sauce.
I’d still probably be sitting on a 3 star review if it was based on that alone… However everyone else was super impressed with their selections (Garlic Chicken, Spicy Chicken, and a Spicy Shrimp Noodle dish of sorts), and one person had the Ginger Salmon which he said was «the best salmon he’s probably ever had» and «very tender». So given there were no unhappy diners and I looked like a champ for suggesting this place, 4 stars it is!
Then throw in that I ordered about an hour and a half in advance and asked them to deliver for 1:15pm. Sure enough, literally 1:15 on the dot he was calling at our door and was quite friendly on the goods for payment exchange. I don’t have many comparison points for thai food in Etobicoke, but this place makes a fair decision to go with if that’s what you’re looking for.

The phud Thai was okay. I found it had way too much sauce. The sauce just overwhelmed all the other flavours and barely any cilantro was in it! Probably won’t be going back here.

This is the best Thai restaurant in Etobicoke, hands down. We had a friend visit from out of town and we needed a place to eat, and found Nimman on Unilocal.From outside it doesn’t look like much, but once you step inside you’re instantly impressed. The staff are friendly and inviting. The spring rolls are crispy and fresh, the Pad Thai, Crispy Cashew Chicken, and Massaman Curry were all delicious. Definitely a place worth a second trip!

This is an amazing Thai Restaurant. My husband and I found this incredible place last year when our daughter started at Humber. Retuned her Saturday and this place is just a good as we remember. All the sauces are great, very flavorful. The service was fast even though the restaurant was full. We will return again and again.

Good food and good service. Some takeout dishes get dry quick which was a bit disappointing. Don’t try the papaya salad… it left some awful flavours in my mouth. I usually stick with the pad thai hor kai with extra shrimp and chicken :)

been there twice now. First time was very close to closing time and left not so great flavours in my mouth. The peanut sauce was cold and clumpy, the pad Thai was just flat in flavour which seems hard to do. Second time we went in the heart of dinner hours on a Saturday and reluctantly we waited for a table as I wanted to give it another try. Success! Flavours were great. I had the house special pad Thai which replaces noodles with wonton skins that are deep friend thin and crispy. Same flavours as what you want but with a twist. I enjoyed it. Not the cheapest of Thai places, but I actually felt is was a good value. Their coconut rice is flavourful light a fluffy and the peanut dipping sauce was very delicious this time around. Happy to report the first time was not the norm it seems.

Food is amazing! Everything that I have had has been wonderful. One of the best places to eat… despite the service. Waitress does not seem happy, does not say anything to us or greet us whatsoever. As someone who works in the industry… disappointing.

Best friendly service. Ordered through JustEat and delivery people were always extremely polite and genuine without asking for tip. Food is exceptional and honest people. Best genuine Thai food in the GTA.

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised with Nimman. BF and I wanted to order take out on a Sat night. Ordering was easy with their website. Delivery was fast and most importantly, food was delicious!!! I ordered the pad Thai, my boyfriend ordered the grilled chicken. The food came fresh, neatly packed in black plastic take away containers. We also shared the appies platter for two, which was also really good. Portions were big so we had enough food for lunch the next day. Will definitely be ordering from this place again!

I know a lot of Unilocalers seem to like this place but, truthfully, I don’t think it’s all of that.
Earlier in the summer we finally decided to try it so we ordered take-​out from the lunch special menu.
I decided to go with Pad Thai (with chicken) since they note on their website that it was voted «The Top 10 Best Pad Thai in Toronto» by blogTO. I asked for them to prepare the Pad Thai super spicy and my husband’s green curry (with chicken) just regular. The lunch specials come with soup, salad and a spring roll and the total was like $ 20.
The verdict: hot and sour soup tasted like it was prepared in bulk; the spring roll was tiny and nothing to write home about; the salad was a few leaves of torn up head lettuce; Pad Thai was, unfortunately, a huge disappointment but the green curry was the star of the show.
I suspect that, in error, they made my husband’s green curry super spicy and my Pad Thai super bland. For the Pad Thai, the integrity of the rice noodles was lost because it was overcooked, they used chicken breast and sliced it nice and thin but there was no seasoning — I had to add a lot of salt. It really needed sauce, cilantro, some lime, etc. It tasted like it wasn’t made-​to-​order but rather prepared in masses for the lunch special — a lot like food court style. Anyway, again with the green curry, it was absolutely delicious; I’ve never tasted anything quite like that. I usually don’t order green curry because I find a lot of restaurants make it kind of sweet but this was so well balanced with different elements of flavour in every bite. Also, the rice was cooked to perfection.
I’ve also had the massaman chicken lunch special which, instead of the potatoes being in the dish, was served on mashed potatoes which I did not care for. Curry was very, very bland even though I asked for it spicy.
If you’re from the neighbourhood, you’ll know the plaza it is located in — not the poshest but the restaurant itself is very nice inside. It’s clean, nice music was playing, smelled great — very inviting.

Snagged some takeout to give this place a try. The restaurant itself is very tastefully decorated and visually appealing. We ordered fresh rolls, massaman, Pad Thai, Tom yum soup and wonton. All of the food was superb. All takeout containers were very full, portions were great. They even gave us a few shrimp rolls on the house which we thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and look forward to enjoying the food again.

**3.5**
I could have given this place higher ratings had I not been to Mengrai Thai Restaurant.
The food here is good but just nothing amazing. They do have a very long menu, for people who love options this is great. We started out with the share platter of appetizers and it was good. The quantity was enough for four people. There was two spring rolls, fried wontons, fresh wraps and two chicken satays.
For the main course we had a basil lamb, the broth of which was really flavoursome but the lamb was overcooked. Next came the Massaman Chicken curry, it was a sweet pineapple coconut flavoured curry. Not bad but a bit too sweet for me. Mr. H called for the Choo Chee Salmon, trying to stay healthy and all, only to realize that it was fried. Needless to say he did not enjoy the fried salmon but our friend wiped the plate clean. So I guess that just depends on personal taste. I also had a Pina Colada and it was OK. Can’t really blame them, I just got back from Cuba.
Nothing here really got me excited enough to want to come back but if I’m in the area maybe I’ll give it a try.
