30 Best Thai Restaurants in Ottawa

“Excellent food and friendly service. Thanks for making our trip to Ottawa that much more enjoyable!“

“This family run restaurant is a hidden gem. I have tried many Pad Thais and this restaurant has the best Pad Thai I have ever had. This restaurant is most accommodating in helping my son, who has gluten and soy sensitivities, find things he can eat. I wish they were closer to me because I would frequent their establishment much more often. Definitely a place to go. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Authentic Thai food! Big portions and definitely delicious 😋“

“as close as you can get to authentic“

“Delicious food! Loved that omelette as well. Never tasted that before.“

“Good but avoid getting served by jade and another person who lies like a Karen. Should be fired Other than that I the restaurant is good.“

“My 20yr old (who works in the culinary world) just had Wandee Thai for the first time - his statement re stir fry P1 is "I f'ing loving it!!!! spicing is spot on - the more I eat the hotter it gets!" 😊💓 And he was shocked at how inexpensive it was for the amount you get and the quality👌“

“Everything is fresh and delicious and Su the owner is a delight to talk to and to watch as she cooks. She produces amazing dishes using only 2 woks. We highly recommend ordering from Champa Thai if you are in Ottawa. We only regret that she can't deliver to Sudbury.“

“I just ordered for Valentine’s Day, for the first time. And I was blown away! For such a little spot in gas station, I didn’t have high expectations but they were blown out of the water! We had a pad Thai and red curry with chicken, red and green peppers, peanuts and green beans, with rice, and spring rolls. -Spring rolls were FRESH and so crispy on the outside. YUM. -Pad Thai was some of the best I’ve had in the city -Curry was delish Could use some fresh lime with the order, otherwise excellent and I will be ordering again. Thank you!“

“What a treat !!! Blown away !!!
We have been passing their Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday outdoor advertisement for buy 1 get 1 specials.

Tonight, stopped by for take-out. OMG red curry with tofu and vegetables (buy 1 get 1). The curry is DELISH. You need rice to soak up all that curry juice. The tofu was plenty and vegetables were astoundingly fresh. I'd give this place 6 or 7 stars if I could.

We will be regulars !!!

Vegetarian options: They do VEGAN - and so well that non-vegans will be blown away too.“

“Very tasty pad see ew. My first thought was on how light the colour of the sauce was. I was worried it would taste plain. I was very surprised at the level of flavour achieved with such a light sauce. The next test is how does the beef taste. It tasted fresh and delicious on its own. No hiding old flavour with heavy sauce. The veggies were all fresh and delicious.

9/10 - would love to try all there other dishes.

Atmosphere is low as it's in a food court in a run down mall.“

“Definitely our favourite local Thai food in Orleans. Great to support a small business. They are always friendly when we go to pick up our order. The shrimp spring rolls, coconut sticky rice and green curry with chicken are our favourites but haven't had anything on the menu disappoint. I don't usually write reviews but I don't want this place to ever close so I hope others give it a try and enjoy it too.“

“One doesn’t expect to go to a music festival and have such wonderful options for healthy food. Thank you Green Papaya. And thank you for being green!“

“Ate at the new Hawkesbury location: Incredible, authentic Thai cuisine. Super great service only surpassed by the amazing food. Had: Chicken Satay, Fresh Spring Rolls, Panang Curry, Green Curry, Pad Thai, and Crispy Tofu, with a Sticky Mango dessert. Perfect for individual or sharing plates. Cannot recommend enough and needed in the area. Will be back - regularly.“

“Absolutely delicious as always! Definitely my favourite Thai restaurant i’ve been to, I find the food is consistently amazing and I always leave stuffed. The interior has been spruced up from the last time I visited and overall great time and meal.“

“In from out of town driving by, I decided to stop in this place is as good as it gets clean. Food is fresh tasty the spring rolls and rice rolls are full and loaded with fresh ingredients. They’re full tasty straightforward. I had the chicken breast, which was non-fatty clean good chicken breast
Will definitely be back when in the Ottawa region
Anybody scoring this place under four stars is either a competitor or a relative of a competitor. Good job. Thank you for the great experience.“

“The food was amazing, way better than any thai express ive had. The spring rolls werent ready and I was in a bit of a rush so opted not to get them, but when i went to another store nearby the lady gave my friend a fresh free spring roll for me which i thought was really nice!“

“Frequented this vendor for over a decade when I'm in the area. Felt today I needed to share my review to support them. They are always a reliable lunch option for a healthy portion of Thai stir fries and rice dishes for extremely reasonable prices under $14 at today's inflation rates. The beef Pad Kee is my goto with a decent portion of beef slices and broccoli compared to equivalent Thai Expresses. Noodles are saucy and succulent. Give it a try and support this staple local business who had survived through the pandemic to serve up great stirfries.“

“We live in the neighborhood and finally decided to stop in for some food, and boy are we glad we did! This will definitely be our new local takeout spot. The food was so yummy and flavorful, highly recommend the pad Thai and croquettes, and the spring rolls and whatever that sauce that comes with it are delicious!“

“Quality of food has gone downhill. General Tao chicken was sour and house fried rice was basically chicken fried rice with 2 shrimp thrown in. Very disappointed.“

“We have been eating at Sabai Thai for years since we worked in the immediate area. The food is authentic, delicious and the portions are generous. This is right up there with other restaurants in terms of menu selection, but they blow everyone else away in terms of taste and value for money. Mel and her family work so hard and give so much back to the food community in Ottawa, can’t recommend this place enough!“

“We loved eating here. My 9-year old loved the pad thai. We ordered green curry -- it was full of flavor. We got squash fritters and they were crazy good. Great spring rolls. But be prepared for some steep prices. About $20 per dish. The place itself is cute and has a good vibe. Once I got over the shock of the price, I ended up really enjoying myself! Very accommodating!“

“I had a positive experience overall. The food was fresh and served promptly, which I appreciated. The service was excellent, and the staff provided helpful recommendations. One suggestion I have would be to consider reducing the amount of salt in the red curry; it would enhance the dish even more. Despite this, I will definitely be returning, as I believe this is Heron Gate’s a hidden gem!“

“Amazing food! I have never had better fish tacos and the staff is super friendly. Thanks again - Chad“

“Best thai express in Ottawa. 'I drop $20 dish here with my Extra options. My fam and I been coming here for 5 years and I will say the service / quality has only gotten better. I regularily order pad thai, stir fry, and pad see eew for myself and my fam. Some places will give you soup instead of noodles because theres too much sauce, but these guys cook the noodles right. They always have their side-sauces available AND with big containers (Why do other locations use small containers? kills me). The rice is always delicious,.. everything is made fast, but not with disrespect. I don't get shrimp because shrimp is weak, so I can't say about shrimp but the beef and chicken is always plentiful.“

“Lemongrass never fails to deliver the best quality Thai food. I’m addicted to their Pineapple Fried Rice and their Wonton Soup. Very tasty and comes in very generous portions. I can say it’s always worth a visit and I always get good value for my money.

I got served by Hongli the last time I visited and she provided a great customer service.

She was very polite and made sure I got served on time and also checked to make sure I was happy. Thanks to Hobgi I will be visiting again next week and will try out their Sweet and Sour Tilapia when I visit.“

“Amazing staff, and delicious food. A++

The service I get from Sheree and Kristina is truly second to none. They know exactly what I want and how I like it. Which I appreciate, very much. They are kind, beautiful humans who deserve so much praise and appreciation. This review barely scratches the surface. I would be an almost everyday customer if it wasn't for these two ladies!“

“Alright, so this place kind of struck me as soon as I walked in by just being wonderfully quiet compared to the street outside. I came in on a really hot, busy weekday, and inside it was just serenely quiet and cool. The tables are awesome, even if it’s maybe a weird thing to fixate on, but they’re these big, solid wood tables with like 2 inch thick quartz granite tops. It was really nice to put your arms on the cool granite on a super hot day. It was just a really nice sensory contrast to the street outside.

Food was awesome.“

“My mother and I shared a delicious pad thai chicken with extra beansprouts (spicy), and a pad thai shrimp with extra beansprouts (mild). Fresh and delicious!

Mine was very spicy?I love spice (married to a Latino), but boy was that ?️?

The emoloyee provided me with lime and peanuts. He was pleasant to be around:)“

“omg! quite atmosphere, very polite server. food is fast and hot... and man is it ever good... 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿“
