    Super cool decor and ambiance inside this restaurant. The food and service was excellent. Super friendly staff, we didn’t wait long for our food, you can adjust the spice levels from 1-5. We got papaya salad, pad Thai and mango sticky rice. All three were great! Great flavour and chewiness in the pad thai, papaya salad was fresh and well flavoured. Mango was fresh and sticky rice was properly cooked. There was also parking behind the building. They also have a super big menu so lots of options to choose from!

    Their panang chicken curry is my absolute favorite dish. So creamy and flavorful.

    Quite a solid thai restaurant. We had a variety of dishes and everyone enjoyed everything. The service was attentive and polite. Decor is a bit dated compared to a lot of other places, but still cozy and clean.

    Hidden gem tucked away in downtown St. Catherine's. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The crab rangoons 🦀 are a must. Friendly service and beautiful atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend for anyone visiting the area.

    One of the best Thai places you will ever eat at

    We initially came here for dinner. While parking I witnessed a pedestrian get struck by a vehicle. I chased down the vehicle and got a photo of the plate for the victim. The victim was so grateful they offered to take us to the Niagara ice dogs game and buy us dinner at the game. When we returned to the parking lot our car was gone. We called the number on the wall across from where we parked and were told to go to an impound lot where we were faced with a $340 tow and impound fee after a $25 uber ride. Regardless of our inital intention I explained to the lady on the phone and the guy at the impound lot that there was no signage where I parked that the lot appeared to be public because of the lack of signage and lighting. They didn't care and happily took my money. You can see in the photo that there is no signage where we parked. I have contacted the police, the major and city parking to let them know of this scam. Visit st. catherines with caution and avoid this place at all cost.

    For me, 5 Stars isn't enough. This is the only place to go for Thai food. The crab Rangoon is out of this world. The sauce they use is some magic secret and they aren't giving it up for nothing it is so good. Lunch, Dinner its always the same, DELICIOUS

    Used to be one of my favorite places to eat..my experience today was absolutely horrible- ordered apps and clearly communicated to the server that my daughter only at seafood and no other "meat" Our deep fried spring rolls were ok (but burnt), but the thai roll came out with pork in it...i mentioned it to the server and the fact my daughter did not eat meat and he took away without offering to rectify the issue in any way. My non vegetarian daughter and I both opted for the soup....wrong choice- not sure if we got the bottom of the pot or what, but the fish sauce taste was overpowering and disgusting. I mentioned the taste and the server did offer to give us a salad a us an alternative. We agreed but asked for them togo with our dressing on the side...see pic of our salad. Entrees were ok..

    Some of the best Thai food I’ve had in this area! The food is insanely flavourful and you usually receive pretty good portions! Also their dining area is really nice and decorative!

    Stopped here on our way from Toronto to Niagara. It was about 20 minutes away from Niagara Falls, so it would be a great option if you're staying near a Niagara Falls and looking to go out for dinner or lunch. It's less than 10 minutes from the Premium outlets. Food was great! The crazy chicken was in a house special sauce, which was sweet and tangy and adjusted to your preferred spicy level. The spring rolls seemed to be freshly house made and not the frozen kind, it was crispy and flavourful. The design of the restaurant is gorgeous with authentic Thai woodwork. Great place for a casual or upscale lunch or dinner. Prices were reasonable and parking was easy enough to find. I parked on the street at a price of $1.50 per hour. But there seemed to be a lot behind the restaurant that I noticed afterwards, so call ahead to see if they do offer free parking.

    Overpriced and bellow average. Veg taste frozen sauces taste like their from a jar. I have tried this place quiet a few times and it always disappoints. Why go here when Spicy Thai exists

    Disappointed with the food quality. Apps were ok, but we ordered crispy pad thai and it tasted horrible. We mentioned to our server that we couldn't eat it because it was so fishy. She took the plate away and still charged us full price! We could have made better at home and saved the $120.

    Amazing people and never been disappointed getting a meal from them , have been eating here for a good while now and their food always SLAPS!

  • 1/5 Me 6 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Sure the food tastes good but I feel exceptionally ripped off. I ordered burning shrimp. Over 23 bucks before delivery. I got 4 shrimp. 4. I opened it up and said is this a joke? I will never order from there again. 30 bucks and I got 4 shrimp and some vegetables. Unacceptable.

  • 5/5 Jeff B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great Pad Thai. Level 3 had me sweating! Crab Rangoon was also very good. Interesting decor throughout the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Myle H. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious foods with friendly staffs. I ordered the chicken satay (I was impressed with the way to be served that you are able to keep your food warm with a mini grill) and Pad Thai. They were really tasty. A bonus point is the environment. I love the way they decorate their restaurant. Really unique! I probably will go back again. Highly recommend!

    I love Sahla Thai!! I have been going here for over a decade for Thai food and have never been disappointed. I now live 6 hours away but every time I'm in town, I always order something. My favourites our pineapple fried rice, pad Thai (classic), their shared appetizer platter and crab Rangoon. I recently ordered crab Rangoon on the phone on my last trip there, picked it up and everything went smoothly. Staff are friendly and it tasted amazing as usual. I do look forward to dining in soon. There is parking behind the restaurant and the prices are reasonable. Always my favourite Thai place, even though I live so far away now. Highly recommend!

    This is my favourite restaurant downtown St Catharines! Seriously, I take everyone here. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Kathryn F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great portion sizes, menu options and food quality! I had the Panang curry with chicken, a spice level 3. There was enough for 3 meals for me! The spice level was great when it was fresh, but be warned it got hotter as leftovers ;)

  • 1/5 J.C. L. 2 years ago on Google
    Skip it. Serious, if you want canned food served with sauce from a jar, come here. Price for portion is okay. Friendly wait staff. Nice interior design. Clean washrooms. Limited free parking. Paid Garage, lot and street parking nearby. Bus terminal nearby.

    Years ago this used to be my absolute favourite Thai food spot , I'd have it everytime I came into the city but after moving away for years and having it the last two times I'm super disappointed. Everything lacks really any flavour somehow and seems to be cooked without much care. The exception being their crab rangoons are still some of the best anywhere. For a place that used to be so good it's extra disappointing. The service however has always been very friendly and no changes there.

  • 5/5 Jessica L. 2 years ago on Google
    We got the salad and special fried rice, So delicious!! Service was very friendly and food came out quick. Can't wait to go back!!

  • 5/5 Jee A. 10 months ago on Google
    Huh! Sahla Thai! This Thai restaurant is one of the top Thai restaurants in Ontario or even Canada. Their soups, fried rice, Pad Thai, green curry and other gourmet dishes made me wanna come back everyday. Friendly staff. Beautiful Thai interior design. And most important of all, the Great Chef!!

  • 5/5 Laura K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Thai food anywhere. We drive from Hamilton. The Special Chicken is my go to and I have never had better. The Pad Thai is my best friends and it's delicious. The spring rolls are amazing. They are wonderful here for service, treat you like friends❤️ and the food is always fast and hot. On my Top 5 favorite restaurants. I wish I could visit more often lol.

  • 1/5 K V. 10 months ago on Google
    I've only been here once, but will probably never be back. When the food came out fast, I commented to my girlfriend that it concerned me. While the service was fine and the food tasted alright, I got food poisoning and spent the entire night in the washroom. I would advise everyone to stay away from the seafood and be cautious if your food comes out faster than it can be cooked.

    I’ve been going to Sahla Thai for many years and will continue to go as they’ve always been great, their curries fantastic. Only…I won’t be going NEARLY as frequently as I used to. Now, obviously their prices have to go up, as everyone’s have. Being a small business owner myself, I understand that. The price of supplies has gone up and to make a profit they must pass that on to the consumer. But what used to cost me $74, is now, for the same amount of food, a $126. I almost died when I was given the total when I ordered!!! There is no way I can afford that. So as delicious as their food is, unfortunately for me, I won’t even be able to afford eating there every 2 months. 😢😢

  • 5/5 Marina S. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. Love the noodle dishes, just tried the pineapple rice and it's such a good portion size too. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Spice levels are exactly as described. I like no spice, my husband loves level 2.

  • 5/5 Cyndy Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Thai restaurant you can find in town. The dishes are very authentic and I like that it is a pure Thai restaurant, not a mix of Thai/Japanese or Thai/Chinese. Environment is very inviting as well. Pice is on the higher end but the quality makes it worthwhile. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Reece L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is amazing. I've never had a bad experience with Sahla throughout my 19 years of living. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good Thai place. Wish the level five spice on the peanut curry had a little more heat but I can't complain because it is always remarkable.

  • 5/5 Suzanne L. 1 year ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I went for lunch for the first time here. We ordered a few dishes and shared them. The food was freshly made and tasted very good. I have put this place in my contacts so if I’m out I can order for pick-up. My only complaint was the crab Rangoon’s. Very little crab and they were very pasty. Even with this I still give them a 5 Star review.

  • 5/5 Julie H. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here, from Toronto. We had a Chicken Satay appetizer, very nice, the peanut sauce was as well. My husband had the Seafood Misting dinner and I had the Glass Noodle Pad Thai. We shared a bit of each and enjoyed both very much; very flavourful and the portions are big as well. We’ll definitely be back to try something else, (or maybe same) next time we’re in the area.

  • 4/5 Dylan M. 5 years ago on Google
    Sahla Thai is a beautiful restaurant on the St. Paul street with sculptures and fountains that really immerse you in the experience. The environment is very warm and welcoming. The service here was nice, friendly and very timely. The food here is extremely flavourful.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the pad thai and it was really good, the portions are huge. I had enough for 2 meals so I took it home and had the rest later. I've been here a couple times and both times I've been happy. The service is good, the waitress we had was nice and she explained some of the menu items to us to help us decide and the food came pretty fast from the kitchen. Will be going back.

  • 3/5 Angela P. 2 years ago on Google
    I thought this restaurant was ok. My $24 shrimp dish was very tasty but it came with 5 shrimp and no rice. I didn't like my husband's dish but he did. I will probably return to give it another try since I've heard some good things about this place.

  • 5/5 K K. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food. Been going here for more than a decade. Great staff. Very fair prices.

  • 5/5 Devin j. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Frienod L. 1 year ago on Google
    It was terrible experience, I ordered Pad Thai and it was so messy flavor. I couldn’t enjoy the dishes but I had to cuz it was cost a lot of money. The service was unfriendly. He didn’t even have a smile. I WILL not return.
