Went to solo lunch on a whim. Immediately wowed by the excellent food and warm ambience. Spoke and length with the charming Alain about his food and his business.
I discovered that they were able to make most dishes gluten free, so I immediately ordered supper for the family back home. Can't wait to go back!

Ordered the crispy egg noodles with shrimp and the shrimp fried rice - both were amazing. Huge portions, tons of shrimp, and everything was super flavorful. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Had the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was perfection!

I came out of town from the states just trying to grab a bite to eat and stumbled upon this place while driving. Food was excellent with even better service. Shout to Alain and Billy for the hospitality

100% recommend. Had a great lunch!! We split a Pad ki mow and green curry. We don’t live in Ottawa, but will definitely be back the next time we visit.

Stir fry on crispy noodles - the sauce was tasty and the crispy noodles soaked in the sauce blended well. The beef was a bit thick and chewy though. Very friendly service!

Have ordered from there twice now. Once for pickup, and once for dine-in. Fabulous service both times. Prices are fair.

5/5 would definitely recommend.

Unbelievable food, top notch service! The servers will make recommendations and explain the dishes to you and will customize the spice level to your liking. ASK ABOUT THE HOUSE MADE HOTSAUCE!!! Unreal. The music and decor is perfection, overall the best Thai food I’ve ever had and the best meal I’ve had in a very long time! Will be making this place a regular stop!

The beef was so tough like leather. We threw away. The chicken was dry. Flavors were good but they just can't seem to cook the meat. The shrimp was the only thing good and not overcooked. PAD THAI was decent except for the meat.
We did take out so we can't rate the atmosphere or service.
This restaurant is also on the expensive side. If you think that would guarantee better food, you would be wrong. We were disappointed. Based on other reviews we thought it would be good.

Wonderful food, generous servings, excellent service. My wife and I have been going for years and have always had delightful dishes. Heather had the Pad Thai with chicken on this occasion, and I had the Pad Ki Mow with shrimp. A great and inexpensive restaurant!

Ottawa gem. Good vibes, great service and delicious food. Everything you could ask for in a restaurant and dining experience.

Stuffed chicken wings were like nothing I've had before - so good.
Pad Kee Mao (beef) was all around great.
If you've got room for the mango sticky rice, it's a personal fav.

Would recommend to anyone, especially if you're in the area.
