My friend told me this spot is great and it turned out to be sooooo good. There was a lineup and the place was full. Just be careful that the place closes after 2pm and opens up again later in the evening. The prices were good and the food was yummy and fresh. Would recommend this spot for sure. Their prices were also very decent not too cheap and not too expensive.

I came here one random lunch afternoon and was quite impressed with their combination platter. The food quality and taste were on point, and they have extremely nice staff. Food came out timely and what you expect from a Thai restaurant. I will come back here to try the Khao Soi, it's one of the few restaurants that carry this amazing specialized dish in Ottawa that I have found so far.

Updated December 2019: changing my rating from 5 to 4....went there today for a birthday lunch. Arrived at 11:45 am and the place was fully packed by 12. We three ordered the same dish (pad si-ew chicken) and it was probably a mistake. First, two tables placed their orders after us got their dishes before us. After waiting for 40 minutes or so, we got our dishes and it was obvious to us that the portion was a lot smaller compared to what we used to get before. It looked like they cooked 2 orders but split it on 3 plates unevenly (more meat on one, more cauliflower on others). The dish was tasty but we were still a bit hungry afterwards. I hope this was just a one-off. Update March 2019: they don't take lunch reservations anymore. It's now first come, first serve. Great food. Small place and it is popular so reservation is strongly recommended. Once my friend went there for lunch right at 11:30 am and it was full already. They didn't want to wait around so they just left. This time we made a reservation for 11:30 am and by 11:50 am the restaurant was full already. we ordered combination of the day (lunch special) and chicken pad si-ew (L). Both dishes are delicious!

This is my local Thai restaurant and I think it is the best in town. The dinner for 2 is great and so is dinner for 4, but my personal favourite is the spinning combo plate with the amazing spicy chicken mushroom soup. I almost didn't update my 5 star review because I don't want them to get too busy, but they really went above and beyond for me tonight with quick friendly service. By far my favourite restaurant in Ottawa.😍

I've been going to Baan Thai for years. Just realized today I still haven't done a review. Everything is always delicious, freshly made. My favourite today is their Mango salad...so yummy!!

Unfortunately my partner and I came here this weekend and were not pleased. I ordered a curry and he had a rice and vegetable dish but the flavours were not there. Also took us a long time to be attended to. I normally love Thai food but sadly will not be back.

Unfortunately, we ordered take-out from Baan Thai this evening and had to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes for our order to be ready. We went back into the restaurant several times and were given no update as to when the food would be ready. The staff seemed more concerned about their in-house customers and offered no apology or discount when the food was finally ready. This was a very disappointing experience and the result of poor planning on the part of the staff. They were clearly not equipped to handle both their in-house and take-out orders. We will not be ordering from Baan Thai again.

Came here for the first time with my fiancé and I can definitely say we will be coming back. Every dished we ordered was delicious. If you’re looking for a date night with your partner this is a perfect hidden gem.

We’ve eaten in here before the pandemic and we’re impressed. Ordering takeout now, it took a couple tries to order on the phone because they were busy, but it was worth the wait. Very tasty and large portions, and the inside was well-laid out for picking up safely with a plexiglass barrier. There was a line outside for pickup but everyone distance appropriately. I was impressed!

A Centrepounte institution! Things haven't changed there very much. When we moved to the neighborhood 10 years ago, we ordered takeout food at 5 PM and it wasn't ready until almost 7. Last night we ordered food at 510pm and it wasn't ready until almost 7 again. Of course, I was waiting there, standing in the foyer with all the other takeout customers, since 6pm. That's when we were told it would be ready. The food is still tasty, and the prices are competitive. Just be prepared to wait - if you order takeout, it will take a long time to get ready. It is worth the wait, as long as you're prepared for it.

The Thai food was delicious - even the soup was flavourful. Unfortunately we had to wait almost an hour for our food. We were there at lunch and the restaurant was packed. I saw just 2 servers, very pleasant, but I think the kitchen was struggling to keep up. However, we will definitely go back!

We have been ordering take out from this spot for a while. The food is worth the wait and is phenomenal. Yellow Currie is delicious

We had TomYum Shrimp soup,Tom Kha Shrimp soup, chicken fried rice and Pad See-ew.Great flavors,generous portions

Best Thai food in Ottawa! The daily special is a terrific deal, lots of variety. When the restaurant is busy it can get very loud.

I have ordered takeout from this restaurant and have been pretty happy. But my last experience left me not do. I called around 30 minutes before close (but I think I have done so before). They gave me the wrong stuff and no way to rectify as they had no closed. When I called no one cared they were like we are closed deal with your wrong order. Additionally the green curry was super thick and gloopy sweet -not like I have ever had it from here. So please do not order close to closing time-

Hmm I rarely To put low star for any restaurant. We want to eat Thai food then we found some good reviews from google . We hope we can find a nice Thai restaurant because I’m a big fan of Thai cuisine . But …. The food made us super disappointed 😢. Pad Thai is poor with small portion . Its taste supper weird sweet , the curry is like dessert. Chicken skewers are plain . The dressing for mango salad like sugar sirup , stir fried beef is spicy and sweet ( extremely disgusting 🤮 and weird) I tried almost the food on the menu even the spring roll because we shared in our group . Everyone agree it’s taste weird , not not not nice . imagined the chef cooked 1 or 2 kg sugar for our table today . The price is pricey . Only one thing I don’t put one star is the staff . They’re supper friendly and kind . I just rate 2 stars because of them but no more . The restaurant is clean but quite small and noisy . sorry we never be back again . Not recommended for other Asian. Maybe it’s ok with others not Asian

Delicious food, though the spicy noodles aren't as spicy as their pepper warning would have you believe. Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food, would be a great date location

One of the best lunches I've ever had. Combo plate. Mouth is watering thinking about it. Noisy at lunch though. Not a place to being someone who' hard of hearing 😉

I have been eating here for well over seven years and never had a bad meal. It follows the mostly standard Ottawa Thai restaurant menu, but does a good twist and offers a few different dishes to make it worthwhile. The set lunch menu is a fantastic option.

Excellent Thai food, great portions!

My first visit. My wife and I lived the food. Fresh, large portions. She had a curry bowl that I cannot recall the name of and she was so full and had yet to finish it. I had cashew chicken. Best I’ve ever had. Service was fast and friendly. It was quiet when we arrived at 5pm, but by the time we were served it was quite full. It’s not a big place but decent seating. We were lucky. They require reservations on weekends. But we were early enough that they sat us. Def. A place worth visiting again.

Recently had dinner here with my family and we all had a great dining experience. The food was fantastic. All of the ingredients used were fresh, and the dishes were beautifully presented and arranged. The waiters were all kind and very helpful. And we even got to meet the owner and chef of the restaurant, who you could tell was a good person and really prides himself in the food he serves! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Ordered take out. Was all delicious. Don't think you can go wrong with any item on the menu.

Great service. Nice atmosphere. The BBQ curry is one of my favourite dishes in the city.

Friendly service, great tasting good, and a very classy atmosphere (even if the place is on the small side). Definitely a worthwhile place to eat at!

Poor customer service. I was told that my take out order would be ready in 45 minutes. They left me standing at the entrance of the restaurant for an additional 45 minutes without even an apology . The food as usual was good, but the poor service really left a bad taste!
