Larb Muang

What is Larb Muang? Tucked into a charming Victorian townhouse along Baldwin Street on the cusp of Kensington Market, Larb Muang is a dedicated Northern Thai kitchen and cocktail bar from Chef Porpy Aq and the team behind Koh Lipe. The intimate dining room balances rustic wooden seating and warm neon accents with late-night bar counter energy. It offers Toronto diners an unapologetic dive into bold Lanna cooking rather than standard Central Thai takeout staples.

Larb Muang Menu & What to Order The kitchen shines brightest with authentic regional specialties like the signature Larb Muang, packed with aromatic dried spices and fresh herbs, alongside house-made herbal Sai Oua sausage and rich Pu Ong (savory crab tomalley served with sticky rice). Hearty noodle lovers should prioritize the rich Khao Soi or the tangy, slow-simmered Nam Ngiaw broth loaded with pork ribs and tomato. Pair your plates with the inventive Northern Sour cocktail—spiked with whiskey, turmeric, and coconut syrup—or a classic iced Thai milk tea.

Know Before You Go The cozy room fills up fast during peak dinner hours and late weekend evenings, so plan for possible walk-in wait times on Friday and Saturday nights. Larb Muang is exceptionally late-night friendly, staying open until 2:00 a.m. on most nights of the week. Street parking on Baldwin is extremely limited, so taking the 510 Spadina streetcar or 505 Dundas to the strip is your smoothest route.
