Was craving Thai food and thought I'd give this place a try since it had such high rating. It was truly a disappointment. The portions are tiny - and flavours were way too sweet. Definitely wasn't authentic and they even served the pad see ew with he wrong noodles. The curry was watery and it was lacking in favour. Atmosphere was nice and honestly 3 stars because the owners were super nice.
First time trying this restaurant and I was very happy we did. The food and service was amazing even though we got there 30 min before the kitchen closed. The flavours of the dishes were all so good, I can see why they've been around for so many years. Looking forward to going back!
Food was good I liked the chicken fried rice. Pad Se Ew was good, alright. Overall normal The place is spacious, there’s parking outside
We did take out for the first time from Chaopaya. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious! My son is a Thai food lover and said this was the best he’s had! Thanks for a great dinner.
We went to celebrate a friends 70th birthday.First time there. I didn't know what I was missing.This place is fabulous. The food was delicious and the owner gave us some Thai chili oil to kick up the heat if we wanted to and let me assure you it will kick it up. To bad he doesn't sell it. We had calamari which was cooked perfectly and each of us had a different lunch special. No one was disappointed. Will definitely be back...
Khob khun ka ขอบคุณค่ะ A local, family-ran Thai eatery with under the radar solid tasting grub. I'd expect more tofu and broccoli from the Pad See Ew ผัดซีอิ๊ว, but what lacked there definitely made up in the authenticity through yummy flavor. The really lovely lady gave us a heads up their rice noodles (not the authentic fat wide rice noodles) were standard pad Thai noodles which I respect. The actual grub itself had a solid consistency and decent Thai cooking, don't be fooled by the aesthetics, the chow is groovy. Support local businesses!
If you're seeking an authentic Thai dining experience, look no further than Chaopaya Thai. This hidden gem offers a truly immersive taste of Thailand right in the heart of the city. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warm, traditional Thai hospitality. The décor, adorned with intricate wood carvings and vibrant silk fabrics, instantly transports you to the bustling streets of Bangkok.The menu is a culinary tour of Thailand, featuring a diverse array of dishes that highlight the rich, complex flavors the cuisine is known for. I began my meal with the fresh cold spring rolls which were absolutely delightful. For my main the chicken fried rice is executed to perfection, with just the right amount of chicken and fresh vegetables.The owners at Chaopaya are knowledgeable and attentive, eager to ensure your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Their passion for Thai cuisine is evident in every dish they serve which is cooked fresh. In summary, this place is a treasure trove of authentic Thai flavors. It's a place that deserves more recognition and patronage, promising an unforgettable dining experience that will have you returning time and again.
The whole restaurant is well decorated with Thai art pieces giving a warm vibe. Food is authentic. Tom yum soap tastes especially good and golden curry is rich with coconut milk and not spicy at all.
Amazing authentic Thai food. Hands down best in Barrie!!!! Dont skip this place!
I am not sure why they are closed right now, but I am really missing the outstanding food. I have tried Thai all over Barrie and this is by far the best!
Amazing authentic food served by a great family. Tastes just like the food we had in Thailand. Authentic.
Report technology meat, hold back
The flavour was good but for the price, the portions were small.
Very good food and very friendly service! Indeed authentic Thai. Well definitely go back for more!
Best Thai restaurant I ve ever been to. The food is top notch, and great customer service.
Food was great. Authentic Thai. But the real star was the aquarium. Reef aquarium with exotic fish and coral! Food : 5/5 |
This has been my favorite Thai food for years. I love getting the lunch special.
Food, ambience and service was awesome.
Top notch. Nothing beats the tamarind beef curry!!! So good!!!
Always a pleasure visiting this restaurant! The owners are very kind and they serve the best Thai food in the area with a good selection of delicious vegan dishes.
Little Thai food gem. Always enjoy their lunch special. Hot n Sour soup, spring roll and choice of meal. Recommended.
Excellent food excellent people
Not worth the money. Not tasty at all and the portion is small. The curry only has coconut milk taste. Not authentic Thai food if you have been Thai.
Our family has frequented this restaurant for years. The food is always fresh. Everyone has their favourites. However, it is the coconut rice that everyone needs to complete their choice.
Always delicious food and the friendliest staff.
Some of the best food in town is definitely the best restaurant in Barrie very underrated.
Terrible food. Not authentic at all. I dont understand how this place is rated so high. Very salty and ton of MSG. They even charge you $1 for a cup of hot water and $2.75 for rice, which didnt come with main dishes.
Ordered cashew chicken and red curry. The cashew chicken is too sweet and the red curry is not Thai spicy. Which we can understand given most Thai food in Canada has to be Canadianised. When server asked, we said it s too sweet and suddenly the server kept arguing Bangkok food is sweet, like, pad Thai. But we didn t order pad Thai and I had to explain my dad used to work in Bangkok (my dad also speaks Thai) and I used to go Bangkok all the time! He just insists Bangkok food is sweet! In the end, I can safely say, this food is not authentic at all and it s way too pricey. On top of that, somehow I had to be gaslighted on Thai food and be told about another dish I did not order. If they are not interested to know what I think of the food, why did they ask? I ve had more authentic Thai food elsewhere in Ontario and this restaurant is not it. Save (a lot) of your money and try Thai food elsewhere if you re looking for that Thai taste you miss when you were down in Chao Praya river because this is not it.
Barries best kept secret. Food is amazing, staff was amazing, location is great.
Great food and very attentive wait staff. Ive never actually seen my water glass go empty. We always get the pad thai, and enjoy it every time. Update: I always get the green curry now. Still amazing
delicious food, like it! The master has a good manner and treated us very nicely!
The food here is absolutely delicious!
How have I not tried this place yet?! The food is AMAZING! I am very picky about my Chicken Pad Thai, and I am very impressed and will definitely be back! Service was great and so fast with the food too! Definately recommended
Highly recommend Father s Day dinner. Mango salad, pineapple rice chicken, shrimp, veggies beef with potatoes. Outstanding
This is my family s favourite Thai place in Barrie! Pad Thai is amazing!
Love this place - it has a welcoming atmosphere for dining in. And, the food is great for both take out and dine in. A go-to for us.
The food is excellent! It s one of those memorable meals that you never forget. Delicious
Delicious food, will try other dishes next time
Best Thai food in Barrie easily.
My fiancé and I eat here at least once a week. We love it!
Phoned to make reservations for dinner for 15 people. The man that answered said if everyone was paying their own bill he wasn t going to book us in. When I asked him why, he said cause it would be too confusing. I was like WTH!!! Who turns down business cause they don t want people paying separately.
Outstanding food and service ! Highly recommend
An amazing Ma and Pa restaurant striving to give you an authentic Thai experience staff is extremely friendly and the restaurant has a decent amount of seating and parking Thank you Dave for an amazing experience! And I cant wait to come back.
Very disappointed in the food. Service was great and I love the restaurant itself for the decor and such. Portion of pad thai was so small and lacked any sort of freshness
Delicious food and great service.
Very disappointing food. The spicy dishes had no spice. The spicy vegetable soup had very little vegetables. The food was very expensive. I felt like I didn t get any food for my money. Very bland food. I will not order from here again. There are many better Thai food restaurants.
I have been to this restaurant a few times and the service is always excellent. I really enjoyed the food and the dessert! Highly recommended.
Great Food....
Food could still improve but the setting of the restaurant was perfect.
Without a doubt the best Thai food I ve had. Shocked that we found this in Barrie. Absolutely recommend trying the Garlic Shrimp.
My favourite Thai restaurant. Tried others in Barrie, but this one is by far the best.
Ive been coming here for decades, and every time I come here I wonder the same thing... How is this place not packed with people!? This is easily my favourite hidden gem in Barrie. As I write this, by belly is stuffed with one of the best pad Thai dishes Ive ever had, combined with an emerald curry that was absolutely delicious. We ate way too much. And it wasnt busy! Friday night, and we were seated immediately and the food came quick. The owners are super nice, too. Highly recommend!
I liked the food and the vibe
Decent place, well priced. Food was a bit of letdown. Biggest disappointment is the condo across the street that now blocks one of the best water views in Barrie.
Great food
They have good music playing in the background a very soothing cultural tone
Our go-to Thai spot in Barrie. The owners are so lovely and friendly when we go to pick up our order. Chicken pad Thai is delicious - get it with medium spice it you like a little kick!
Food is ok and the aquarium in the front is legendary
Our favourite restaurant in Barrie
Had a great dinner here. Just passing by Barrie and decided last minute to pop into this restaurant. Very friendly hosts, place was spacious and clean. And the food was delicious. We ordered pineapple shrimp Curry, pad Thai and tamarind fish. All flavours were authentic and spice level was on point.
This was a great restaurant! I was my husbands first time having Thai food and he was very impressed. We will be return customers.
Delicious authentic thai food! Friendly and quick service, would go back!
Big place, great service and food taste good. The only complain is the portion is a bit small for the price.
Cashew chicken nut is terrific. So flavorful. Owners are so friendly.
The food is a great blend of spices. Tender meat and very nice employees / owners. I think the restaurant is family owned and operated. Glad to support local families. Vegetarian options: For those vegetarian It looked like there was lots of tasty options.
Good Thai food, kinda pricey for what you get. A little out of the way, but good enough for Thai food in Barrie!
Awesome
The service was excellent, friendly staff, dinner was tasty, delicious and portions right on! Definitely will be back!
Delicious food and excellent customer service. Ordered thai spring rolls and thai soup. Yummy
We went with 4 people. 2 got their meals then the other two waited 20 minutes. Owner forgot both what we ordered and that we ordered. Rice was crunchy and stale. Terrible service and miserable overall. Not wheelchair accessible and very limited parking
Ive never had a disappointing dish here. Its a couple bucks more than other places, but Im happy to pay a little more for the quality of these dishes. Always packed with flavour.
Delicious Thai cuisine in a peaceful, relaxing interior and all at very reasonable prices! Plus they have lots of parking.
Amazing experience, delicious food, great service, cozy and authentic atmosphere. Will be back for sure!
The food is excellent, every dish had a lot of flavour. Feels very authentic. Hot sauce is fire. If youre really looking for ambiance this might not be the place for you.
I had lunch with friends on two occasions in the last 10 days and I heartily recommend this restaurant. The service was friendly and the food delicious. The dishes are hand painted - sorry I did not take photos of the food - too busy eating it! Parking: Parking space was adequate and convenient.
Awesome food! Dietary restrictions: Vegan Food : 4/5 |
Great food and service! Very flavourful and tasty. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!
I came here with friends on my birthday for the first time and enjoyed my time here! The food was so filling and so fresh; we all ordered different plates & we all thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. The restaurant is clean and quiet & SO cute. The service was also fantastic. It s sad to see them building a big building out front as I can only imagine how nice the view of the lake would be on the patio during warm weather! Will be back 100%
Food was excellent! Pad Thai delicious and not vinegary! Service was friendly and the owners were upstanding. Highly recommend and look forward to the summer patio! Parking: On-site
The place is small but not cozy. There is no parking line at the parking lot, only sign showing reserve parking area for restaurant customers. We parked our car within the area but the host showed up grumpy and pointed us to park our car again to the edge of that parking area. We were happy to follow his instructions but when we entered the restaurant, he gave us an attitude and hesitant seating us while asked if the car was parked properly, then lectured us. There was no lunch menu on the weekend as mentioned on their website and overall we experienced that worst service ever!!!
All stars!! Delicious food, great ambience, calm throughout and must try mango salad. yumm.. never knew this place existed until today! .
My wife and I love this place, best Thai food we ve had
Had an amazing lunch here a few weeks ago. Pad Thai and Green Curry were delicious. Owner and staff were so kind and the service was just great. Thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely return.
Excellent Place for unique dinning experience!
The best Thai food Ive had (so far) in Barrie. Very friendly and attentive service. The atmosphere is nice with very cool artwork all over and an immaculate salt water fish tank to greet you as you enter. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options
Always so delicious my favourite Thai food place in all Barrie! Real authentic!
We had cashew chicken and tofu basil with rice for lunch. Food tasted ok, but nothing special. Price is a bit high for the quality, but you are probably paying for the location and the décor also. Overall its a pass but I probably wont return.
Easily the best Thai food in Simcoe/Muskoka.
We had an excellent dinner tonight celebrating my husband s birthday. Service was wonderful and the food was fresh and exquisite. Numerous gluten-free options. This was our first visit with friends, and we definitely will be back soon.
Dave, his wife and staff offer fantastic service and delicious Thai choices.
Had lunch yesterday with our chef son and everything was excellent, from the food to the service. Really nice people running this restaurant. Will definetly return. Parking: Convenient and adequate free parking.
Best Thai food in town!
I cant wait to go back. This restaurant had excellent food and service. The prices were also excellent. We all ended up taking home enough for lunch the next day.
What a great Thai place. You need to try the four flame fish. That over rice is the best
We got the lunch special with Pad Thai, green curry chicken, shrimp cashews chicken and chicken mixed vegetables. The pad thai was inedible, tasted like it had too much fish sauce, the other dishes were overall too sweet
What a hidden gem in Barrie! Great place, great food, very professional and friendly.
This was our first visit to this restaurant. We were very happy with the service and atmosphere and the food was delicious! We recommend it and will return again.
Customer service and ambiance is wonderful but the food is not good. The portions are small, shrimp pad Thai had 2 shrimp on it. Their curry had hardly any flavour and was extremely watery and the hot and sour soup tasted like watery sweet & sour sauce. The prices were also pretty steep considering the portion sizes. I wouldn t return.
Nice little Thai restaurant. Food came out quickly and tasted great. Spicy menu items had a good kick without being overpowering. Portion sizes were just right. I would definitely eat there again Parking: Parking lot is small. It wasnt too crowded when we were there and everyone was parked on one side but it could be tight to get in and out of if cars are parked in the spots on both sides.
Amazing food and the servers were a pleasure to speak with. Very enjoyable experience
I am a repeat take out order. Friendly staff Consistent quality, always ready for pick up in 10-15 minutes and great value. Food
The best Thai place in Barrie. Love this place and have been there and ordered take from them many many times. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and the service is great. My husband loves the duck thai curry and I love the golden thai curry.
We have been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years. The food is consistently amazing. The interior decor is like a museum. Such incredible pieces of art right from Thailand. The owners are so courteous and friendly. We LOVE this restaurant. Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian, the veggie pad Thai is the best I have ever had. Kid-friendliness: They are so kind to children.
The best Thai Restaurant in Barrie Ontario.
Two got Pad Thai, small portions but not good Pad, had it all over ontario this was the worst. The other two meals were so so. Wont visit again lots of others around. Parking: No
Best Thai food in barrie 10/10 perfect super nice atmosphere and staff
Delicious food served in fine China by friendly staff!
The food there was amazing and flavourful. We ordered the eggplant delight and veggie curry with rice and spicy veggie soup. All 3 were amazing. Eggplant delight was so much better than what we expected. Vegetarian options: Not too many veggie options but the veggie dishes we ordered were so good! Parking: Restaurant has good amount of parking right by it.
The Tom Kha Gai was delicious.
Beautiful place, wonderful experience :) My husband and I both loved our meals (satay, spring rolls, red duck curry, chicken pad Thai) and we will be back!
Absolutely the best Thai food around and the kindest owners! Highly recommend!
The food is really good, the prices are honest and the service is amazing!
Lovely restaurant with excellent service. I had the duck with ginger and it was devine.
Good food and friendly staff.
This is by far, the best Thai restaurant in town. Very flavourful food, great service and exceptionally clean. Dietary restrictions: Our son has celiac, and they are very accommodating!
The food, service and the atmosphere is fantastic as always. Our go to place for Thai food.
Authentic Thai food I Berrie
Have ordered off the lunch and regular menus. Both were very good meals. The lunch portion was tasty and the perfect size (I had Basil Beef, yumm!). Lemongrass tea was good. Everything arrived properly hot or cold. Service was stellar. The atmosphere was lively with people conversing at their tables. Not too loud for us at least. Most dishes can be made gluten and egg free, just ask. Hot heads can ramp up the heat as much as they like with a side of Thai chili paste. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available for most dishes. Egg free on request as well.
Great service, amazing food taste and quality and the atmosphere is inviting. Its a nice little spot run by a family. Food came out relatively quick, and tasted amazing. The owners came out and made sure everything was tasting great. Will definitely recommend. Parking: There are about 10 to 12 parking spots on the side of the building. These are free parking spots for the customers of the restaurant.
Have been here several times and no matter what Ive ordered, its been delicious. Owners are extremely nice and lunch specials are excellent.
Great service and delicious food. Almost everything is gluten free. Vegetarian options: Well done tofu dishes Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
Weve been going here for years and never disappointed. The food is excellent and just the right amount in my opinion unless you have a large appetite then this lovely delicate food is not meant for you. The view was spectacular but with the new Condo being built that wiil be gone although the food and the people who work there are far nicer than any view. I especially like the ghosts! The place has been haunted for years and if you pay attention you will see or hear one. Theyre not unfriendly they just want to hang out. If you look at the top floor window you may catch a glimpse of a shadow walking by when no one is there. That in my opinion is worth the the visit on its own! Support our local restaurants and their owners and spirits!
This place is very authentic, the person who works here is very nice, the food came very fast with a very delicious appetizer. The food tasted very good. But I found 1 hair in my food by the lady was very apologetic and came out with some new food.
I gave it 2 stars because the service was nice and food arrived promptly (mind you we were the only customers at that time). The dishes we tried were all too salty and not remarkable in terms of seasoning. The soup almost made me cry. Very plain broth with a few pieces of veggies. The menu was overpriced for the quality and quantity. Weve been to many Thai restaurants throughout the GTA, and this one did not measure up. Too bad.
The best restaurant in Barrie. My favourite restaurant! Ive been coming here for at least 15 years. Amazing dine-in atmosphere and the friendliest staff. Whoever is cooking this stuff up is amazing. I have not had a bad dish but my personal recommendations are the Golden Chicken Curry (no chicken since the potato is to die for - trust me), Thai Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, and last but not least the incomparable Tofu Cashew Nuts.
Way overpriced. Skimpy portions. Bland taste. Average service. No value. No wonder that the place was empty during dinner service. 4.5 rating? I think not. More like 2.5
A great place in Barrie with authentic Thai food. Will definitely recommend to try their Thai Curries, I loved it! The service was great and they took time and effort to explain the dishes. Overall, fantastic spot!
Homey atmosphere. Definitely of Thailand authentic flavor.
Food was amazing. Staff and owners are very proud of their establishment/culture and it showed. Will 100% return.
We LOVE this charming Thai restaurant! The food is very flavourful, the portion sizes are great and the prices are more than fair. Quality over quantity I say, and this restaurant consistently exceeds in quality! A must try!
Authentic thai food prepared fresh and good value. Chef is from Thailand
Very tasty! Our family enjoyed the place a lot! Friendly staff and great food choices. Everything was yummy and fresh!
A friend recommended this establishment & Ive been wanting to go for some time. I wasnt disappointed. Food cost was a bit more, but the quality of food I found was delicious. Great variety and super helpful staff that recommended some amazing choices for dinner. I cant wait to go back...
Noodle dish had very little ingredients other than noodles that we all pasted together. Green curry was like water and veggies. $70 for 4 dishes and rice was not included? With restaurants working hard to survive I don t like to post a negative review but this was just not good
My favourite restaurant, me and my gf come here all the time! Always great service and DELICIOUS food will never stop coming back.!!
A little over priced for take out. But the food is very good.
Excellent place! Perfect ambience for family dining. The hostess, May, was very warm and hospitable. Definitely recommend going there.. I sure am going to once again!
Good food, nice people, nice decor and a fabulous marine life tank!
Absolutely awesome food. Sat on the beautiful new patio. Will be back soon!
This is probably one of the best places I have ever had shrimp pad Thai and rolls amazing !!
Great Thai food. Parking was an issue, but not the owners fault. Major road construction had some streets closed, but it was worth the effort.
Very pleasantly surprized: all stars in all aspects!
Our go to place for Thai in Barrie. Owners are great and the food is quality. I might have just figured out supper for tomorrow lol.
Fresh, tasty food and a great patio
Amazing dishes! The fish mango salad and the chicken fried rice were delicious!!!
We went there in an afternoon when there were no one. The owner or manager herself was the only one in the dining area. It was very hard to get any service and she charged us for water. The food was also not good. We will not go back again.
Newly moved to the area and this has become my new favorite Thai restaurant. Coming back every week to try something new.
Glass chicken noodles, sweet basil beef and chicken with mixed vegetables are delicious. But you absolutely need to try lemon prawn soup! It is appetizer size though. Will definitely come back. The fact that they have own parking is definitely a plus!
Very nice havent been to a Thai restaurant in over 20 years. My lunch guest she spent time in Thailand years ago and helped me with menu choices. Will return Parking: Plenty of parking which helps because of condo construction across the street
A decent Thai place , great location and authentic flavours , only drawback was the portion size , small portions! Tried Tom Kha soup and chicken massaman curry !
I took my sister and husband for lunch today. Her first time and She was impressed. It s one of the best Thai restaurants we have found in the Barrie area. Everything is fresh and vegetables are beautifully cooked. Friendly staff too. And the price is right. One of Barrie s best kept secrets.
Mouth watering spring rolls! Search for Authentic Thai food in Barrie ends here!
We saw good review for this restaurant so we decided to give it a try. The service was good and friendly. The spring roll was ok, pad Thai a bit salty. We expected the creamy Tom Yum Goong but it came clear. We do not recommend the papaya salad. Overall an ok experience.
So authentic! Calamari to die for. Honestly the best Thai Ive had in Canada. Keep doing what you guys do & open up in B.C.
Great little restaurant
Food was very tasty but the portions were very small for Thaï food. I will go back when I am in town. Recommended dishes
I LOVE this place...there tamarind beef curry is the most delicious thing ever!!! I love thai food and this is the BEST BEST thai i have had outside of Thailand....hoghly recommend this place..and the family who own it are the sweetest
Amazing food, and the best view in the city! The new patio looks gorgeous!
Highly recommend this restaurant. Great service and tasty food!
Hidden gem. Fantastic pad Thai
Called Chaopaya yesterday to give them a heads up that 6 of us wanted to come in to dine. We wanted to come in for 6:45 pm. The person on the phone informed us their kitchen closed at 7:30. We asked so you would rather us not come? we can be ready to order right away. They said its too late. We were quite surprised by that especially considering some of us have previously been in the industry and so we know this isnt acceptable. To add to the confusion, their google business hours show they close at 8 pm. Im giving a 1 star due to the poor customer service/communication. It makes me want to support other restaurants who would be happy to welcome us up until the hours they reflect online.
Service was great, food was delicious. Will go back Food
My partner and I recently came here and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The pad thai and green curry dishes were both so flavorful and perfectly cooked - we couldnt get enough! The service was also top-notch - our server was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. Well definitely be back to try more of their menu. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some great Thai food. PS their aquarium at the entrance is SO COOL!
Amazing food, a great atmosphere, quiet the staff is extremely friendly and taling COVID precautions as necessary to keep patrons safe
Do not go to this place!! Absolute rip off. You pay more than $12 for lunch and only get a tiny tiny portion (not even half portion of the pad Thai or soup). Definitely not great value at all. I ve been to lots of Thai places and they usually fill the take out container with food. I mean, the majority of it was noodles anyways and how much can that be. When I brought up this issue with the proprietor, he just argued and didn t even try to rectify the problem. I understand food costs have gone up but you can t rip customers off and still expect to maintain business. Horrible horrible service and total scam!! On top of that, the food tastes absolutely disgusting and not authentic at all (I ve been a regular vacationer to Thailand for the past 8 years). Stay away!!!
Chaopaya is my favourite go-to Thai restaurant in Barrie. Just thinking about it makes me happy! Our favs are Emerald Chicken curry (order some steamed rice on the side); pad Thai, mango salad and chicken satay! Delish! My husband is a big fan of the fresh spring rolls as well..
Thought I would pick this up on the way home. Huge mistake paid 50.00 for diarrhea my wife and I have been sitting on the toilet with lava since we ate the overpriced sub-par food. Im trying to give local restaurants business but this is the reason we have ultimately stopped eating take out. Quality is terrible and its a risk what gastrointestinal irritation you will develop.
Excellent quality Ordered here many times and the food and service has always been great, strongly recommend. The calamari is top notch!!!
Third time weve ordered, third time weve loved it. Really great food!
Finally found our Thai restaurant of choice in Barrie. Great service and wonderful food. The dishes are delicately created with a real mastery of flavours. The curries are subtle, creamy and very balanced. The pad Thai is deceptive in its presentation but packs a punch of the right flavour you expect from an authentic dish. If you are more discerning with your food choices and value flavour over volume, you will not be disappointed. Very fresh food and expertly prepared.
Favourite thai place in Barrie area - and Ive tried them all! Good classic pad thai, super friendly staff, fast.
YUM! I got the Emerald Curry Chicken, Mango Sticky rice, & the spring rolls. Everything tasted incredible. So happy I tried this place! On the pricier side, but highly recommend!
Super authentic Thai food. The appetizer platter had a bit of everything, and the data skewer was a tender and post chicken breast that was well marinated. The sweet chili sauce is made in house and was so good, I had to buy a container to take home. We gobbled up the Bamboo squid, before we remembered to take a picture. The squid was tender and intricately waffle cut, with just a hint of umami fishiness. It paired so well with the coconut rice. To finish it off, the mango sticky rice was so good, with the glutinous rice cooked to a soft stickiness. All dishes were served on Thai tableware, adding onto the authentic experience. It was such a treat to find a great Thai restaurant during covid. Extra bonus: We got to sit in the teak pavilion, and Dave took a great picture of us.
Came here after spending time at the beach and wanting to give back to local businesses. I was truly disappointed by the food and found black stains on my chicken pieces. The green curry was watered down and the pad thai had peanuts and chicken pieces with noddles that are not meant for pad thai. There were no vegetables. Previously, I have ordered or eaten at many thai restaurants and this would be the worst one yet. It is a pricy place for below average food. I would never go to this place again.
Owners are super nice and the food is phenomenal!
My boyfriend and I went to Chaopaya tonight for dinner, we loved it! We had the appetizer platter for 2, and shared the red curry duck, and the seafood noodles as our mains, everything was awesome! Especially the red curry duck! And you have to try the spring rolls and the shrimp rolls. Service was really good, and very friendly. He stopped and had personal chat with us. Would definitely recommend!
Very friendly service and great food
Good food. Price is little too high but food is fantastic
We ordered the red curry chicken, the green curry chicken, mango salad, spring rolls and the cashew chicken and I m still thinking about it 6 days later!! Everything was Sooooooooo good!!!
The most incredible Thai food. Fresh. Authentic. The perfect spices and flavours. Fresh and hot. Incredible service. Wonderful owners
BEST RESTAURANT EVER!! Been coming here for years and I can honestly say I ve never once had a bad experience. The food is always amazing and the service is fantastic. The couple who run this place are always so friendly and so nice. I cannot say enough good things about this place.
Terrible service or lack there of
Loved the food! Service was great, too. And we learnt to use spoon instead of chopsticks since that is how the Thai eat. I highly recommend this place.
Excellent food and really nice people. Our meals have always been fresh and taste amazing.
Generous portions and friendly staff. Exactly what we were looking for on our Saturday night.
This food here is incredible, the pad Thai is second to none! Soups are great, Currys are great. If your reading this review thinking should we eat here? Absolutly you should eat here I cant wait to eat their food again. The owners/family are super nice. Thank you for making amazing food!!
Food was amazing! The food had the perfect amount of spice and sweetness. The place is very clean, and provides a comforting atmosphere.
Great food great service!! :)
Great food and friendly staff.
Fresh and tasteful Thai food. Great location, Fast and amazing service.
Very nice Patio, we got the papaya salad, eggplant, Veg stir fry , all delicious and service was great :)
Best Thai food in Barrie, the service is amazing. Staff members are polite, friendly and quick! My favourite restaurant in Barrie by far!
Food is authentic and delicious. Went for the lunch specials. Pad Thai was very good, tasty and the cashew chicken is my favorite. Great prices. And staff were very welcoming. Very quaint place with a few rooms with tables, very cosy. Will definitely go back again.
Wonderful friendly and attentive owners. Ive enjoyed every meal here. I recommend the lunch specials. Their hot and sour soup is scrumptious!
Excellent food. Owners are very nice. Authentic Thai food
Nice restaurant with Thai decor and ambience! Excellent food. Neat and clean Service with a smile! Love to visit again!!!!
Food was very good and the staff were pleasant and attentive. Great attention to detail and a good focus on cleanliness and sanitation. If you like Thai food then Chaopaya should be on your list of places to try!
I have had a hard time finding Thai food that I enjoy (picky, I know). I really enjoy going here. The food is very good and the people there are very friendly and fun to chat with.
If you go to Barrie you must stop and enjoy. I from Toronto and I make sure to stop buy
Great food awesome vibes. Portions are just right. Loved it we will be coming back for sure!
Delicious food! Lemongrass prawn soup is amazing!
