26 Best Thai Restaurants in Ottawa

“Wandee is no doubt the best Thai food in Ottawa. Having spent some time in Thailand, I was looking for a more authentic place and this is the best I've found! Fabulous dishes, fresh ingredients, packed full of flavour and very helpful and friendly staff. I've been a loyal customer for years and have tried most dishes on their menu. Every time I try a different Thai place in Ottawa I'm always disappointed and come back to Wandee Thai.“

“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.“

“Amazing food. Wonderful staff. Could not love a take out place more. I just wish we were closer!!“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had Thai Lanna tonight and it was the best Thai we’ve had in Ottawa for quite some time. We’ll be ordering again for sure! Celine“

“Showed up to Siam on a Saturday evening for dinner without a reservation, the place was packed. The kind lady at the reception pulled some magic trick by rearranging seating plans for upcoming reservations and made room for us. From the front door through the entire service, the staff was welcoming and friendly.
The meals were delicious, great quality and plentiful. The menu is very diversified so it was difficult to choose. We'll need to come back to try more (why a reservation this time).
Never once we ran out of water or even when my napkin dropped to the floor, I was brought a new one without even needing to ask. I am impressed, will definitely visit this gem again.“

“Had a craving for Lao Papaya Salad and this place did not disappoint. Easily one of the best I've had from a restaurant. Serving size was enough for 2 people. I requested it spicy and it was perfectly spicy without drowning out the rest of the flavors. 5 stars for the Papaya Salad.

Beef salad was ok, but more of a stir fry than a salad. Was expecting it to come cold with herbs and spices. Instead it came hot with mostly just shallots. 3 stars.

Sticky rice was way too sticky and wet to be satisfying eating it Lao style. Probably the packaging more than the cooking. 4 stars just because it was on the menu.

Definitely recommended, I'll order again.“

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

“One of the best Thai food in Ottawa“

“Amazing experience at Charm Thai Cuisine! The dishes were authentically spicy and bursting with flavor. We had the Kra Praw Ground beef, Tom Yum noodles, Grilled Chicken, and Kao Nah Kai all of which were exceptional. Generous portions, top-notch quality, and fantastic service. Highly recommend for anyone craving true Thai cuisine!“

“Unbeatable prices with large portions! Check this gem located inside the Westgate Shopping Centre!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available.

Parking: Park in the back for idea entrance to Westgate Shopping Centre cafeteria entrance.

Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic doors from each mall entrance. Single floor shopping centre. Wheelchair accessible.“

“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!“

“A tiny take-out heavy restaurant in an unassuming location, this restaurant speaks for itself with its big flavours. We have brought several friends here and unfortunately got them addicted! Sorry friends!The flavours are big, the portions as well, and they use a huge variety of veggies in their dishes. Their green curry and Thai coconut chicken are my favourite (the latter is ADDICTIVE). Quick notes: they do their pad see ew with the same thin noodles as their pad Thai. The pad Thai is on the sweeter side (still yum). Green curry has a kick but isn’t the spiciest I have ever had. Rice is ordered on the side, unless you get a combo plate (great value!!)

Vegetarian options: Tofu substitute for many of the meat dishes“

“Almost a 5 start had it not be the dry appetizers (satays). Other than that, the main dish (4 different ones) were fantastic! Perfectly spicy to our taste! Perfectly not for those who didn't want spicy. Perfectly "coconuty". Portions were generous! Price was affordable! We are definitely gonna come back and talk about this Little Elephant gem restaurant!

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome but they didn't seem to have apple juice which was not a deal breaker.“

“I used to buy food and keep in freezer at night and bring with me to work.
After all night in freezer, the food still good and fresh ( with 2 mins in in the microwave ).
Gonna stay with this place, $23 after fax for the rice with combinations meats is so good.“

“Food was good but I was shocked by the portion sizes this time around! Not only did prices go up significantly, but the portion sizes were half the usual! The cake in a box used to be $6 for twice the size. Now it’s $8.10 for half the size.We got two pad Thai and the bowls arrived and were only half full. I know we are dealing with either inflation or shrinkflation….but this is the first time I’ve seen both at once.Not the individual restaurants fault I guess, but company wide, this seems crazy“

“First time eating here and all I can say I will comeback for more!

Really good food! Fried rice, pad thai and everything is just really well cooked!! Service is good and the lady was really attentive was very pleasant.

The place has such a quiet ambiance so I really enjoyed the eating here.“

“Golden Thai is located on the main floor inside Holland Cross complex in the food court section. Their service is quick. I liked all of my meals so far, however I only tried the following: spring roll, wonton soup, noodle soup with vegetables, crispy beef and general Tao's chicken. They always ask for spice levels :)“

“Everytime I am in Ottawa, I always make sure that Sala Thai food is coming home with me. It is THE BEST THAI FOOD IVE WVER EATEN !!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ! HAPPINESS IS SALA THAI IN MY TUMMY !
When I was a patient at the Ottasa Heart Institute, I was able to get 2 orders of the Chicken Panang - my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DISH !!!- delivered to me.
It absolutely made my day!!!

Since it was my 50th Birthday and I had to spend it in hospital, the Sala Thai Food made it one of my BEST BIRTHDAYS EVER !!!! , ,

Sala Thai is so worth a trip to Ottawa from Kingston !

Parking: Shared parking with other stores“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Best Thai Express location in Ottawa. We went there last Sunday. Food are excellent and people are very nice there. We tried Pad Thai, Pad SeeEw, and Fried rice. All are delicious and the amount is huge. Definitely will come back to eat again.

Vegetarian options: Excellent with Vegetarian option.“

“One of my fav restaurants in Ottawaw!“

“I finally got around to trying Lemongrass today for lunch. It wasn't at all busy, but the meal was excellent. Chicken-fried rice with curry spice. Nourishing, flavourful, simple, and excellent are words I would use to describe my dining experience. The service was good as well.“
