Though I donât live in Milton, we always visit or take out food from Toss Thai when visiting our nephewâs family. The food selection is terrific and very tasty. Service is always fast whether you are eating in or ordering out. Itâs the best Thai restaurant in Milton and the food is always very good.

Decided to check out Thai House Cuisine on Fatherâs Day at around 530pm. We didnât have reservations but were able to walk in and got seated immediately at a great table by the window overlooking the street. The restaurant had several tables occupied but service was prompt and attentive. We were greeted warmly by who I am assuming was the owner, who welcomed us in and directed us to one of the open tables. He came by shortly after we seated ourselves with menus and returned again to take our order. For the kids we ordered a Mango Juice and Lychee Juice (almost $4 each?!?) and went ahead and ordered our meal - deep fried calamari and a mango salad to start, crispy tamarind beef, ginger chicken and a regular pad Thai along with 2 orders of coconut rice. The food came out quickly and was very tasty, particularly the mango salad and calamari. Portions were decently sized and we even brought home some leftovers. Final bill came out to over $100 with tax and tip. Definitely not cheap but I will say for Milton, the restaurant is pretty authentic and rivals the same flavours and tastes you might get downtown or at established and well known Thai restaurants like Sukho Thai or Khao San Road. Milton is not exactly known for its international food scene or its diverse food offerings. Most ethnic food spots have a tendency to be watered down and âCanadianizedâ to appease the palates of most Miltonians. As the demographics of the growing city continues to change, so too does its restaurant life. The restaurant itself is located in a prime location right on the downtown strip. If you cannot find parking directly on the street, there is plenty of parking around the back on both the north and south side of Main Street. The restaurant also has a patio with seating outside. Will definitely come back and try some menu offerings that are not your top 40 dishes like the ones we ordered. Restaurant is clean and tidy but the bathrooms date the age of the building and are a little run down and could be refreshed. Overall, a decent dining experience.

Let me start off first by saying that âHakka Foodâ (at least in the GTA) is not really Chinese food. It is Indian styled Chinese food where traditional Chinese dishes and cooking techniques have been fused with garam masala, curry and other Indian spices to create an entirely unique and different menu, complete with a whole host of entirely different tastes and textures. To suggest that Hakka IS Chinese food and that they are one in the same would be the same thing as saying the sour cream laden and melted cheddar cheese smothered Tex-Mex dishes that have become part of the North American palate is the same as true, authentic Mexican food. They are not the same thing. After perusing the various restos listed on Trip Advisor, we settled on Royal Garden because we had never tried it before and most of the reviews were favourable. I was cynical though as it is listed as the #1 âAsianâ food cuisine place in Milton! Not saying much when your competition for âAsian Foodâ is Mr. Dumpling, Empire Wok and Lucky Star. The food scene in Milton is fairly vanilla and appeases the tastes of the community it serves. Chinese Food in Milton is basically breaded chicken balls with that neon red sauce or sweet and sour pork doused in a sticky lemon sauce that is more commonplace in your mall food court and would not be found on the plate of any self respecting Asian person ever. We ordered six dishes: Crispy Sesame Beef ($15.99), Deep Fried Spicy Squid ($12.99), deluxe Cantonese Chow Mein ($13.99), the House Fried Rice ($10.60), the Chilly Chicken ($12.99) and the Prawns in Lobster Sauce ($13.49). All said and done, after tax, the bill came out to almost $90 and we picked it up. When we made the order on the phone they said it would be ready in 25-30 minutes. When we arrived half an hour later to pick up our order, the food was ready, in spite of what other posters have written about long wait times. Staff was courteous and polite and we had no issues getting our food and paying for our meal. The staff and majority of patrons were all Indo-Canadian, which usually speaks to the authenticity of a restaurant that boasts Hakka cuisine as the core of their menu options. Not one Asian person working the kitchen or seated in the restaurant. As far as Chinese take out standards go with regards to price, this $90 bill is definitely on the more expensive side. When we got our food home, my first observation was that the portions were massive. Once we dug in, the difference between traditional Chinese food and Hakka became abundantly clear with our first couple of bites. Although it looked similar to Chinese food, it was not. It looked kind of Chinese, but definitely tasted Indian. Hakka has a reputation for being a very hot and spicy cuisine. While not all the dishes are spicy, one cannot deny that the Hakka palate is characterized by some definite heat. My kids (ages 5 and 7) who normally gobble up Chinese like it was the last supper, had some trouble eating a lot of the things we ordered. The dishes were also far too saucy and almost overpowering with the amount of cornstarch or thickener they used. An hour later, once most of the dishes had cooled, there was a thick, gelatinous blob smothering most of the food. The Cantonese noodles were dry and the toppings seemed anemic and old and were NOT Cantonese noodles with an Indian twist. They just werenât very good. The squid seemed to be saturated in oil and had an unsightly, unappetizing greyish colour to it. The only thing we really liked was the crispy sesame beef. Most of the dishes ended up all tasting the same: hot. While I wasnât angry with our order, I really canât see myself ordering from here again. Lots of leftovers and not necessarily because the portions were so huge. There are far better Hakka restaurants, just not in Milton. This is not Chinese food, so I canât really make a comparison. If you truly have a hankering for truly authentic Hakka or Chinese, drive the 15 minutes to Mississauga and find somewhere there to eat it. Sadly, Miltonâs depressing ethnic food options remain limited and the Royal Garden certainly is not a glowing representation of how good Hakka cuisine can be.
