This used to be a staple in the area. Good Thai food. Until last week when we got takeout prior to Xmas. What a train wreck. Seriously, food presented…

After moving to the area last year, I decided to try this place out since it’s walking distance to our place.We were quite disappointed with the food, service and decor.
Great atmosphere. Loooove the decor. However the restaurant was dark (time to bust out those night vision goggles), and the restaurant wasn’t very spacious. It wasn’t full when I went but pulling out chairs and putting on your coats were a struggle. If the restaurant was full, I’m pretty sure I would’ve hit someone in the face. The food was okay. Portion size was so-so for the price. The service was nice and fast. Probably wouldn’t go back just because the food was not the best.
Continues to be the best Thai restaurant in all aspects. This place is our favorite. With the recent reno they have made it even more cozy while maintaining a far eastern theme. The food and service are exceptional. Price is just right. Their soups hit the right spot to begin with and the noodle based dishes are mouth watering.
Tastes good, but overall bad experience. When I arrived to pick up my take-out order, I was told they had accidentally given my order to someone else. While inconvenient, not the end of the world. They said it would take about 20 minutes to prepare it again, so I left to run some errands to kill the time. When I returned, they said that the person they’d given it to had called and was going to bring it back so I could just have that. When I said I REALLY didn’t want food that had left the premises and also been made, at that point, an hour before, they seemed surprised and told me then that it would 30-45 minutes to re-prepare my order. At this point, the guy came into the restaurant to return the order and I was desperately hungry and cranky so I took it, but was super grossed out to be eating food that I had to just assume hadn’t been tasted or touched by someone else, and was also cold.Not impressed, and if I had to guess I’d say this probably doesn’t meet food safety regulations (admittedly I am no expert in the regulations).
Great Food. There were two of us, we had three main dishes, a crispy duck, a shrimp dish, and a mixed seafood dish, and the beef sate for appetizer.It all got eaten because it was all excellent.This restaurant is one of the more expensive Thai restaurants in South ottawa, but we have always considered it worth the money. There is that little bit extra sublety and flair to the flavours that make a meal more than just a meal…entertainment in fact.
Compared to some, I had a wonderful meal. Friendly staff, nice ambience… My tom yum and Pad Ki Mow were well prepared and delightfully presented! Ill be back!
Without question, the WORST Thai food I have ever eaten. In fact, food was barely edible. Send Pad Thai dish back to the kitchen.
