Very authentic Cambodian food. Had the Samlaw Namya soup and my girlfriend had the vermicelli noodles. My soup tasted just like it did in Phnom Penh, maybe even richer! Vermicelli bowl had a Khmer twist to it with bbq chicken and pork spring rolls. Both dishes were excellent and well priced with huge servings. Highly recommended!
Came here for lunch as we made our way to Ottawa for the Victoria Day weekend. Originally, we had planned to visit Royal Angkor (we had read raving reviews online about its Golden Chicken); unfortunately, it was closed. As such, we decided to try Pat’s Restaurant (we really wanted to taste Cambodian food – it would be our first time), and boy oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised!Together, we ordered four dishes to share: Phanaeng Kai (#1), Samlaw Khmer (#7), Siam Delight (#10), and a special, the stir-fried shrimp, squid with chilli basil leaves, young corn with rice.When the food arrived, we took our first bite – and were unbelievably impressed and blown away by the depth and richness of flavour! Our favourite had to be the Siam Delight. It is a spicy and tangy dish with a slight sweetness that is an explosion of senses. Indeed, it was the only plate that we managed to wipe clean! Even the chillis and basil leaves were amazing.The Phanaeng Kai was a close second favourite. Unlike Thai curry, it has a kick of… lemongrass? peanuts? coconut? all three? Whatever it is, it’s delicious and addictive! We finished 95% of this dish, leaving only some rice and sauce left. The special had an overpowering taste of bamboo shoots (which, surprisingly, was not mentioned in the menu description) and unfortunately, as my family dislikes the taste, this was not as impressive. Nevertheless, we finished most of it.The last dish that was not as good (in comparison with the rest; by itself it would still make a good meal but it pales when compared to the other three dishes we ordered) was the Samlaw Khmer. We didn’t expect it to taste as strongly of tomatoes, but with that being said, it wasn’t just tomato sauce for it still had the tanginess of tamarind.All the dishes were humongous, and beautiful. Too bad we live three hours away, or we would definitely return – and regularly too!
Great Thai Restaurant. My favorite is the Chicken Coriander. Nice people. Family run. Fresh ingredients. Busy, popular place, especially when the Queen’s students are in town. If you are looking for some great food, now is the time to try them out as they are less busy in the summer. Otherwise, it is hard to get a seat sometimes. BUT, the good new is, they also do takeout. Just a warning before you go. Pat’s does not accept credit cards.
I really like the samlaw namya soup off of their menu. It is spicy and perfect for cold days. The portion is very large so I usually pack the leftovers to eat again at home.
We ordered the chicken red curry, spring rolls, and the pad thai! The red curry was a bit spicier than I remember so I recommend getting the mild version if you aren’t too good with the heat. But overall the food tastes great! Our waiter was nice. But it’s always super busy so be aware of that!
I have passed Pat’s tons of times but only tried it out recently when doing a takeout order. And it was fantastic! Food was ready unbelievably quickly, and was still nice and warm after carrying it out. They certainly aren’t kidding when they claim a dish to be spicy, but it’s a good spicy rather than painful. My only complaint with this restaurant? That they’re not open Sundays! Will absolutely be back!
First restaurant i tried in kingston and first cambodian food too.Just stumble in by chance. This is authentic food with the warmest service ever. Portion are huge. Owner’s business story is amazing!
