Our take on Nana

Our honest take, updated when something changes.

  • Food 4.5
  • Vibe & room 4.0
  • Night-out utility 3.8

Best for

  • Dinner before a Queen West night — the timing and location are perfect
  • Heat-seekers who want Thai food at Thai spice levels
  • Late Friday and Saturday dinners when everything else has closed

Skip if

  • You want DJs, dancing or bottle service — this is a restaurant
  • You can't do heat and won't ask for guidance — the fiery dishes are fiery
  • You need a Monday or Tuesday table — it's closed both days

Nana comes from Toronto Thai royalty: the family behind Khao San Road, the downtown institution, opened this Queen West sibling at 785 Queen West and named it after Bangkok's Nana entertainment district. The room says it plainly — cobblestone details, mint-green shutters, strings of miniature Thai flags — a street-market set built inside a Queen West storefront. Toronto Life covered the opening and, later, the food's genuine fire; both write-ups aged well.

The menu digs into all four regions of Thailand and deliberately picks dishes North American Thai menus skip: laab seasoned with herbs and toasted rice, pork satay sweetened with palm sugar, and boat noodles — the intense, broth-dark soup traditionally sold off riverboats in Northern Thailand. The kitchen's defining trait is that it doesn't tone the heat down. Ask your server to calibrate and they will; order the fiery dishes blind at your own risk, which is exactly how it should be.

Why it's on a nightlife site: geography and hours. Nana sits mid-block between The Dog's Bollocks and Desi Bar & Grill, opens for dinner only Wednesday through Sunday, and on Fridays and Saturdays serves until 1am — a rarity that makes it both the ideal first stop of a night out and the answer to "where can we still eat properly?" at midnight. The room hums on weekend nights without ever pretending to be a bar: no DJs, no dance floor, no bottle service, and reservations happen by email, 24 hours ahead, with seats held for walk-ins.

Bottom line: start your Queen West night here. Share the laab and the boat noodles, respect the spice, and walk out the door into one of the city's best bar strips. If you came looking for a party venue, this isn't one — it's the reason the party starts well-fed.

About Nana

The Khao San Road family's fiery Queen West sibling — and the smartest first stop on the strip.

Nana opened at 785 Queen Street West as the long-awaited spin-off from the family behind Khao San Road, one of downtown Toronto's best-known Thai restaurants. The name comes from Bangkok's Nana entertainment district, and the room commits to the reference: cobblestone details underfoot, mint-green shutters on the walls, and strings of miniature Thai flags overhead — a Bangkok street scene compressed into a Trinity-Bellwoods storefront.

Where Khao San Road serves the crowd-pleasers, Nana digs deeper. The menu draws on all four regions of Thailand and favours dishes North American menus usually skip: laab — ground meat seasoned with herbs and toasted rice — pork satay sweetened with palm sugar, and boat noodles, the dark, intense soup traditionally sold from riverboats in the country's north. The kitchen's calling card is honesty about heat: fiery dishes arrive fiery, and Toronto Life's review framed the restaurant, accurately, as serving "Thai food stall dishes to Queen West heat-seekers." Servers will steer you gently if you ask.

For nightlife purposes, Nana is a restaurant — no DJs, no dance floor, no bottle service — but it's a restaurant with night-out utility few can match. It sits mid-block between The Dog's Bollocks and Desi Bar & Grill, opens dinner-only Wednesday through Sunday, and runs until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, which makes it both the ideal launch pad for a Queen West night and one of the only real kitchens still open when your night runs long. Eat here first, then pick your party from the best clubs in Toronto guide.

How a weekend evening built around Nana unfolds, first satay to last stop.

  1. ~5:30–7pm

    Doors open

    The first seating is the calmest — walk-ins land easily and the kitchen is fresh.

  3. ~9–11pm

    The handoff

    Tables turn over to the strip — The Dog's Bollocks, IDK, Desi's event nights and the club rooms beyond. This is Nana's role in the night at its clearest.

  4. ~11pm–1am

    The late seating (Fri–Sat)

    The quiet superpower: real Thai food after midnight, for the crowd whose night ran long or started late.
