My first experience was very pleasant. My family & I went to eat during the lunch hour. The restaurant is clean with elegant lights & modern decor. The waiter/waitress were sympathetic. They served us complimentary belly warming sweet cabbage soup. The main dishes came out quicker than any fastfood restaurants (thumbs up). The food was overall tasty & savory. I would definitely come here again.View more

We had the "Khao Thai Rolls", "Tom Kha Kai" Soup & "Massaman" Curry. They have alot of options on their menu as well as Gluten Free options. It tasted good, but the portions are small so it would be best to get a few dishes to try & share :)View more

Food is always good & healthy. However, my last two visits were not good at all. One of them took a long time to get our food & after that they told us we had to leave because we couldn't be there for more than 2 hours. & on our last visit during our lunch time, it took over 40 minutes to get our food. But other people who came after us got their food before we did. We handed up bringing the food to eat at our office. Something business gets very & they forget about great customer service is what brings the people back to stay busy. I hope they improve their customer service so they don't lose their clients. Cheers.View more

Excellent Thai cuisine & a good selection of wine. Loved learning that there is a certification for Thai restaurants & that this place offers authentic recipes with fresh ingredients. We enjoyed every bite!View more

Absolutely blown away by the food. As a vegetarian, I strive to find Thai places that infuse a ton of flavour into their food & Khao Thai is definitely one of them! We had the vegetarian red curry & the vegetarian drunken noodles, & both were fantastic, I've been chipper since eating it! Really lovely ambience & service as well, & really good portion sizes (one dish can definitely be shared between two people, or you can pack & take home for some good times the next day haha) Really enjoyed it!View more

- Service was meh. We were a group of 5 polite adults & we felt like treated like children. We were told twice by the same person to not put food on their laminated menu (who would do that anyway?). - Dishes were hit & miss : 50% were meh & 50% were good. Some of it was too sweet & one was very sour (broth tasted like fermented tofu - not sure whether if it turned bad). Cocktails are good. - More expensive than I thought. For one appetizer (25$), two mains (22-26$) & two cocktails (around 15-18$), it was 113$ before tax & tip. Seems like 140$ was a lot for this for 2 people. I went twice in the past few years & it was 5/5, but it seems like it changed. Really bummed that we didn't like it :(View more

We had a green curry plate, one pad thai, a tomyum & tomkha soup & some dishes. I do really like the green curry plate, it tastes good & flavourful, but the reason why I'm giving 3 stars is the taste of tomyum & tomkha soups. They're extremely sour & so way different from where I used to have in Thailand or many other Thai restaurants. The kitchen needs to adjust the sour from these soups. The sour taste was so strong that all of us couldn't finish both bowls so unfortunate. Tomkha is always my favourite dish in Thai cuisine but this disappointed me very bad!View more

Probably the best place to have Thai food. The food was so good that it reminded me of Thailand. Service & behavior were friendly & warm as you expect from South East Asian food places. I will definitely visit again!View more
