Toronto Raptors' newest player Gradey Dick was spotted getting a bite to eat at a popular Thai restaurant in downtown Toronto.

The basketball player was dining at Pai this week, a restaurant that's been visited by many celebrities in the past.

On Monday, Pai's co-owner Jeff Regular shared a photo with Dick and Nuit Regular, who is the restaurant's chef and co-owner.

"Raptors rookie @gradey Dick at Pai!!!! Such a down to earth guy! Gonna fit right in Toronto!" Jeff captioned the photo.

Pai has become a celebrity hot spot in recent months.

The new head coach of the Toronto Raptors, Darko Rajaković, was also spotted dining there in the past few days.

Regular shared a photo with Rajaković on Instagram writing, "If you know me, you know I’m freaking out right now! So honoured to welcome coach and his family to Toronto!"

Before that, Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell came to Pai for a meal in mid-October and it sounds like she's a regular whenever she's in the city.

"@shaymitchell back at Pai. Thanks for always making Pai one of your stops whenever you’re in Toronto!" an Instagram post reads.

Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard is another fan of Pai. Wolfhard visited the Thai restaurant when he was in town for the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

A spokesperson from Pai told Narcity that Wolfhard "really enjoyed the pork skewers" and the "whole Northern Thai platter."

The actor loved the food so much, that he ate there twice during his trip.

Comedian and actor Ronny Chieng was also seen at Pai in September when he was in the city for Just For Laughs.

Barbie actor Simu Liu has also gushed about the Thai spot and has eaten there multiple times. Liu has even called it one of his favourite restaurants in Toronto.

In an episode of Buzzfeed's Worth It, Liu said the Khao Soi dish he ordered had the "perfect noodle consistency."

Looks like Pai comes highly recommended by many celebs who continue to go back to the restaurant whenever they're in Toronto.
