User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI love, love, love Toy's Cafe. I have lived in the metroplex for 20 years and it is my favorite Thai restaurant. It is our "special occasion", date place that takes us back to the dating years. The cafe is cozy and the food is fresh. The grill is in the front of the restaurant with you and the other guest. We have tried countless Thai restaurants in Dallas and this is by far our favorite.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI've seen Toy's reviewed in D magazine for years and I FINALLY stopped by. I had the Japanese Eggplant in green curry sauce with deep fried tofu and it was delicious! Dinner was hours ago yet... I am still thinking about it... it was that good.
My portion was a little meager but It was just enough that I walked out with a full belly but alas... none to bring home. The steamed brown rice was a surprise to me because I was expecting the typical Jasmine rice... but the rice was steamed perfectly and the nutty flavor of it was just perfect for the meal.
It is a bit of a hole in the wall place but it isn't without its own simple charm. It's a tiny place (maybe 20 tables) with concrete floors and nondescript decor but the kitchen is smack dab in the middle of the dining room and the smells while waiting for your food will drive you insane with anticipation. Our waitress was none other than the Proprietress herself, Ms. Toy! She was a very busy lady and watching her was exhausting! LOL!
She was absolutely charming and was busy hopping from table to table and seemed to be very friendly and familiar with her patrons. My overall impression of Toy's Cafe is that it is a friendly place that the locals would rather remain secret from the rest of the world. I don't blame them. But I hope they won't mind if I sneak in every once in a while. The food is world class.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI'd definitely not characterize the portions as meager! Especially for take-out food, there's always more than I can eat in a dish. I still get an appetizer because they are so tasty! I really like that Toys uses brown rice by default.
