We stopped for latte, tea and a pastry. It was very good but wish they offered real cups (instead of paper cups) when you dine-in and also that they offered sugar alternatives other than chemical Splenda (for diabetics).

SUCH a great Pad Thai. I had the shrimp pad thai, ordered from Skip the Dishes, which was delicious with a very good amount of shrimp for the price. We will be back!

Great food, limited seating. They put immense care into the preparation of their food. Their pastries are very well done.Vegetarian options: Most of their curries are available with either tofu or with no protein.

The only reason I give 4 stars is because you are dining in but it is a take out container and plastic utensils, I would have done take out if I knew that. Food was delish and

Food is way too spicy (the mild pad Thai was loaded with chili), full of young people working PCs and having coffee, not really a place for a sit down meal as there are few tables and it's very small. More of a coffee shop or takeout place.

it literally has the best atmosphere!! great place for students to study. The only thing is that they don't have free wifi. It has the BEST COFFEE EVER!!! The vanilla latte is so good. Highly recommend !! I get with oat milk and ask for extra hot!!

Terribly small portions and quite pricy for such small portions. Tom yum was the worst in my life - so much salty that it was impossible to eat. My day was ruined and my disappointment was immeasurable after visiting this place.

I have only been here for breakfast and the coffee is excellent and the pastries are exceptional, they are all my favourite . The service is always friendly.

Went in for a coffee! We had vanilla lattes, one hot one iced, both were very good! Service was great and the inside was cute and great for sitting.

It’s a small cozy shop with limited tables. I ordered a social pad thai and it tasted just ok, not too bad, but not impressive or fantastic. For the price of $22, I would expect a better taste. Since this is my first time visiting Ottawa, not sure if this is the best in town. As my home country is in SEA and Thai food is everywhere, I definitely have higher expectations.I must say the portion is good tho.

Depends what you go for. If you are a vegan, searching out a good Thai meal, steer clear. My Pad Thai had shrimp. I don't think the concept of vegan was 100% clear. The ambience, if you are going to eat in, is not good. It is much more of a small, very bright cafe than a relaxing restaurant. However, the baked goods looked delicious (non-vegan) and those eating them seemed quite happy. I hate to give them 2-stars because if you went for coffee and a baked good or ordered your Thai food to go, you would have had a different experience than I did. Also, if you weren't vegan you probably would have enjoyed the extra large shrimp in your Pad Thai. And the staff was very friendly. I have to say I didn't like the ordering system. It is all done on a screen and very little detail is supplied nor is there room for substitutions. So there you have it, a two star experience.

The best pad thai I have ever had in my life and god knows i’ve had many . Also if you’re GF , they accommodate and honestly most of their items are GF ( on the menu not the bakery )Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free friendly !!!!

Great place to grab Thai food in downtown ottawa, they have a take out window on the side of the building plus a Cute and clean seating area with dessert and coffee. I recommend any of the curry’s!They also have an outstanding taco cart next to the take out window, 10/10 recommend grabbing a few tacos while you’re there!

It was not a good experience like they served me in a take out box when I was dinning in and gave me plastic cutlery which made it difficult to eat in. Like I feel for the price they charged you. It should have looked more professional and with proper plate and cutlery. The food was okay. Should have gone to khao Thai instead.Also the way to their washroom is dangerous right down the basement and it is shared

The place is cute. Went with a friend for a date night. We split the pad thai, shrimp rolls and calamari. I am definitely going back for the calamari appetizer. For the price, it was delish and great value.
