Great place! Fast service and delicious food. We ordered noodles, Tom Yam and a new appetizer. I am not a fan of Thai noodles but I loved the taste of my husband's noodles . Tom Yum on coconut milk with shrimp is just delicious: a lot of shrimp and great broth. We will definitely come back when we are in Ottawa again.

Went for the first time for dinner. Made a reservation with no issues. Service was fantastic - they were extremely attentive and friendly, and the food came out quickly. We were happy with our dishes (not the best we’ve had but still pretty good) and we loved the intimate, cozy vibe of the restaurant. Huge menu with a great vegetarian section. Will definitely be back to try more!

The food was really tasty, we were just unfortunately served by a guy who was disinterested and practically flung our food on the table announcing it was a number 27 before rushing to another table. My water was topped up and spilt all across the table. It wasn't that busy. I think if one of the other members of staff had been serving us it would have been a totally different experience.

The food is top notch. Loved that they had a sampler appetizer so that we could try several items. We got a noodle dish and asked for it spicy, and it was perfect! Highly recommend!
Delicious food, smiling service and gentle atmosphere. I came here years ago and it hasn't changed - still a superb experience ??☺️

I live a block away from this restaurant and have eaten there four or five times. The last time, however, there was a piece of meat in my entree, which was in the vegetarian section of the menu and should have been vegan. It was a very small piece, and I chalked it up to the same pan being used to cook different orders, but I was nonetheless disturbed and had nightmares afterwards. That, by itself, would not have have led to a one-star review, but my spouse has been feeling sick for days, and I think that something he ate there upset his stomach. He said the soup he had, which we had previously been assured was vegan, tasted like it might have been made with chicken or fish stock.
This is now at least the fourth or fifth time in two years that I've had the experience of ordering something vegan at a non-vegan restaurant in Ottawa and receiving something non-vegan, such as butter or cheese made from cow's milk. This seems to happen in Ottawa much more frequently than in other places. I used to think that such incidents were innocent mistakes, but I'm starting to think that mentioning the word "vegan" to a server in Ottawa makes them want to play what they seem to consider a practical joke by serving something that contains an animal ingredient. Restaurants in Ottawa need to learn that feeding animal products to a vegan is as serious as giving someone food poisoning. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Khao Thai, and we will make an even greater effort to dine only at vegan establishments from now on.

A Culinary Gem: Authentic Thai Delights at Khao Thai!From the moment I stepped into Khao Thai, I was transported to a world of authentic Thai culture. The restaurant's ambience struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, with intricate Thai decorations and a warm, inviting atmosphere.The menu was a delightful journey through Thailand's rich culinary landscape. Each dish was not only a feast for the taste buds but also a work of art. The Khao Thai Combo, Som Tom Salad and Pad Thai was exceptional, with perfectly balanced flavors and textures. The Red Curry with salmon in the young coconut, with its creamy and spicy notes, was an absolute revelation. The ingredients were fresh, and the spices were masterfully used, demonstrating a deep understanding of traditional Thai cooking.The service at Khao Thai was as impressive as the food. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, adding a personal touch that made the dining experience even more special. They were quick to offer recommendations and were well-versed in the nuances of each dish.What set Khao Thai apart was not just the excellence of its food but also its ability to create a truly authentic Thai experience. From the music playing softly in the background to the beautifully presented dishes, every detail contributed to an atmosphere that was both exotic and welcoming.I would recommend Khao Thai is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Thai dining experience. The combination of exquisite food, enchanting ambience, and exceptional service makes it a standout. Whether you're a lover of Thai cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, Khao Thai promises an unforgettable culinary adventure.
