This place is a hidden gem. I have only ever gotten takeout from here but everytime I've gone to pick it up the dining room has either been packed or half packed with reserved signs on every vacant table.

They do an awesome hot and sour soup and the red curry chicken is my favourite standby. The mango salad is delicious but kinda skimpy on the shrimp (only 3 little shrimpies!). Hubby likes the pad thai - he's pretty easy to please.

I will miss this place so much when I move away from the centrepointe area.

Just ate here tonight. We had the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce and grilled calamari to start. Both were very well executed, the spring rolls ended up being the highlight of the meal. We then dug into our pad thai and shrimp and eggplant in a black bean garlic sauce. The pad thai was good, nothing mindblowing, and the shrimp in black bean sauce was ok I guess. The menu described the shrimp with black bean sauce to have basil in it... I think I counted two basil leaves, and maybe 3 black beans in the entire dish. It was very garlicky, and it overwhelmed the dish a bit... overall, the food was good... just not my #1 thai place in Ottawa...

Very tasty. We ate here last night, and while, not the BEST thai I've EVER had, it was quite a bit tastier than the other thai I've had in Ottawa. The mix of flavours was very well balenced - I was pleased that the spicier dishes we had were not totally overwhelmed with hotness - although spicy, you could still really taste the flavours underneath as well.

The star of the meal for us was the spicy green curry with chicken, eggplant, peppers, and basil. My boyfriend scarfed it up and I was lucky to get one plate!

Decor is very pleasant and pretty- nice red walls! Service was attentive and friendly, polite and professional but not overly formal.

While I'll probably keep looking for "the perfect thai" in Ottawa, I would definetly return here over other places I've tried so far.

Location is in the middle of nowhere basically - way out past Baseline, but if you're nearby you should definetly try it - or if you have time to kill go ahead and make the trip.

They also do take-out. Score!
