In the vicinity of a world class Theater company like the Shaw Festival, you need a world class restaurant. Niagara Finest Thai is that restaurant. Sue and the rest of the staff combine the finest professional service with genuine warmth and hospitality. (If this is what Thailand is like, I want to go there!) The menu provides healthy, well prepared choices for every palate. The exotic Thai atmosphere is a perfect match for the magical plays at the Shaw. So, If you’re looking for a complete out-of-this-world experience, you can’t do any better than this combination of restaurant and Theater Company. Even without a night at the Theater, Niagara’s Finest Thai provides a magical ambiance that you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Like the Shaw Festival, it’s in a class by itself.

I’d recommend making reservations. The main courses were very good. Price point is high for portion size but within reason for being in the heart of Niagara on the lake. The ambiance is nice, and it’s a beautiful, convenient location. When we went in, it wasn’t very busy, but the service was lagging at times. Very polite staff. We ordered “After 8” martinis, and when they were brought to us we were told the garnish and the after 8 chocolates were all out. It was disappointing and we wish we had of been told before they were made and brought to us so we could have had the option of changing our order.

Great dining location! The perfect spot for big portions, delicious food, and a quiet to medium noise level.

The pineapple in the curry had a nice bite! Not enough tofu though! 🙅‍♀️Pricey for the portion but the service was good and wrapped up our experience in time for us to catch our show in time!

Would have given 5 for food but portions are too small for the price. We cannot return with larger family for this reason. Would be a repeat with family otherwise. coconut shrimp $15 for 4 small shrimp that appears big with coconut layered on top. Bad value, not memorable. Service and atmosphere are good. Ordered pad thai, chicken skewer with peanut sauce, coconut shrimp, singha beer.

Overall good spot! They have good gluten free options, and a tasty menu. Highly recommend the chicken satay, it was absolutely amazing and the highlight of the meal. Sweet and sour chicken was good. A good option for people with a sweet tooth, this was very sweet, but still tasty.

The food was tasty, not authentic Thai I would say but all in all a good dine in experience. We were craving for a Thai place when we were around Niagara on the lakes, queens royal park and we found the perfect spot. We ordered Pad thai and pineapple fried rice.

Unfortunately this restaurant is over rated. Our welcome was cold The service by Sue was weird, she was phony and judgemental about us ordering wine with our dinner. The food was just ok, very disappointing,nothing more or less. Will not be returning with so many quality restaurants in the area. I would avoid this restaurant if I were you.

One of my favorite authentic Thai restaurants - the flavors are multi layer, can be enjoyed dine in or out. The staff is friendly and the food is very consistent. If you love a dish the first time, you can look forward to it again and again. I always return many years later, many kms later bringing family and friends to enjoy something new or something different. Overall ambiance is quaint; its off the busy path of Old Town so after a day of shopping, you can relax here. Or you can pop in after coming from the Shaw theatre. Can be pricey but the food is clean & flavorful. Parking: can be very busy - summer, weekends

Im not sure what is going on here but not only was this NOT Niagaras finest thai food, but rather it was the worst Thai food I have EVER HAD. The only way I would eat here again is if I was paid to do so. I wouldnt spend any of my money here. We ordered fresh rolls, red curry, and pad thai. The fresh rolls were different than I am used to in terms of the rice paper was very thick, and they had egg in it, other than that pretty standard with tofu and some fresh herbs and vegetables with a peanut sauce. These were the only things we enjoyed. The red curry was extremely watery with a slight hint of red curry flavour. The vegetables and tofu in the dish were yummy but when we asked the server about the curry they said thats how the batch is today. Sometimes its watery and sometimes its thicker. I really am not sure if the chef tasted it that day or if they were proud to serve that but basically it taste like they put a splash of a red curry into a bunch of water and mixed it. The pad thai was okay but lacked a lot of flavour again..it just tasted like some rice noodles with sugar on it, no flavour other than that. They gave us some chili oil for the table and that was the only thing giving that pad thai any substance. It was extremely disappointing and I had high hoped for this place thinking they were high quality food. Will never return and would definitely advise anyone who is thinking of going to not waste their money. (Unless I just had a horrible experience as it was a weekday and early dinner).

My spouse and I ordered the pad thai, and a vegetable stir fry (vegan option). The pad thai was the most inauthentic, disappointing dish Ive had in a long time. It tasted sickeningly sweet to the point of being inedible. It had zero characteristics of an actual pad thai such as tamarind based sauce (theirs was just pure sugar), fried noodles (their noodles were clearly boiled), chili flakes, crushed peanuts etc. The vegetable stir fry also had a sauce that was too sweet and contained zero protein. Most vegetable stir fries have tofu, and at the price point we paid, we expected more than just a plate of vegetables. Plus, the choice of vegetables was weird for the thai cuisine...cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers? Overall, this was a waste of money, I can cook better at home. The only positive was the server was great!

Excellent Thai Restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake.It is less than a 5 minute walk to the Shaw Festivals Festival Theatre. They have an extensive menu, but most importantly, the food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients, not overdone as in some restaurants. I Service was excellent. Parking: It may be difficult to find on street parking in front of the restaurant in the tourist season, but there are plenty of side streets with on street paid parking.

Made a reservation for a different day after stopping in with no tables available! Always hesitant when something is described as the finest but this food was absolutely delicious. Spring rolls, mango salad, and coconut soup were loved by our party. Starters were quick to arrive at the table, but our entrees took well over an hour to arrive with minimal check in from our server. We were starving when entrees arrived, but everything was delicious. Service was ok, but not very attentive and no word about our food as we waited. Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free - some options available, but a limited selection. Server was knowledgeable and cautious when putting food on the table to let people know what they could and could not eat to be mindful of allergies. Kid-friendliness: No kid menu but options for kids on the menu.

Food was in very small portions, quality was average. The Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup was very salty. Totally not worth the money. The most disappointing part is that they charge a mandatory 18% tip with groups of 8 or more. Okay we were fine with it even they only mentioned it when we finish. But after we left, we found that they actually charged us 20% after tax. Unacceptable. Definitely not recommending

I went to this location specifically looking to get their gluten free options because I have dietary restrictions. I was very excited to see that they had a couple of options, many minutes after eating my food, the waiter came over saying that they made the dish wrong with gluten ingredients and she took the dish away. This was very unsettling and made me very nervous of the aftermath as someone with an alergy to gluten, the waiter apologized but I was expecting a little more from them as this was a big mess up, not expecting a free meal or anything but an apology from the manager that gave it to me would have been nice. My correct dish came and it was absolutely delicious so I would have been thrilled if they had given me the correct dish first. A little while later into my meal I was drinking water when I noticed that the ice cubes in my water had flies(multiple) frozen into them, this beyond grossed me out. I am not comfortable enough going back to this restaurant as someone with dietary restrictions but the correct food did taste well. It was a very rocky experience overall, do what you will with this information. Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten-free

The evening started off with some confusion as the table we were given for our reservation had a leak above the table so it could only seat 3 people. There was a table in the back of the restaurant but we were told it was held for someone s reservation. We had a reservation too! In the end we were seated at the table at the back, and had a wonderful dinner. Food was great and our server Jana was amazing!!!! She was so personable. A great meal in the end and reasonably priced for Niagara on the Lake.

Dinner on a Thursday night without a reservation meant sitting at the bar- thankfully we arrived early and there were seats for our party of 3. Many customers were turned away during our time there, so I would recommend making a reservation. The pad thai (chicken and signature) portions were large, tasted great, and came out quickly. Refills on drinks took a little while, but otherwise the service was very nice. Parking: Most street parking is paid until after 8pm. There are open spots, you just have to find them and be open to walking 1-2 blocks. Some residential streets have free street parking if youre able to find a spot and walk a bit more.

Visited for dinner. Ordered their Spring Rolls, one of their specials, Beef Salad and for main entree the Pad Kra Pro. Springs rolls were typical. The Beef Salad had great flavour. The Pad Kra Pro was disappointing. This dish literally translates to something like Spicy Holy Basil. BUT there was ZERO basil in it??? Had a ton of green beans, so not sure if they ran out and just substituted or what. If they did run out of Thai Basil, just let the customer know so we have the option to order something else. Pretty amateurish.

I order the vegan, gluten free pad thai from the take out menu that always arrives without the advertised tofu. I have been advised that the tofu is marinated and not actually gf. I ask for gf tofu and then they charge extra. My choice is paying $23 for a plate of veg with no tofu or approaching $30 just to get what is advertised on the menu at $23. Not worth it and really misleading.

Expected Niagaras Finest to do better. After all it should be in your name, however received less then perfect service. The Host last night was looking really stressed out and uninterested in our dining experience. Upon entering he barely gave us a smile, we asked for a booth for more privacy since it was open, restaurant didnt seem that busy, but instead he quickly replied that booth is reserved - the booth remained opened troughout our whole dining experience. The Chashew nut dish lucked real atheniticity instead was overloaded with unnecessary spices that dulled down the taste. I suppose to cover up luck of that athenticity. The whole experience felt rushed and the atmosphere of the place was less then perfect. But at the end, its really the Hosts of the establishments that make you feel the essence of the place. Sadly the staff at Niagaras Finest luck that genuine friendliness and enthusiasm Niagaras Finest once provided to its guests. And no, I dont want to call to discuss my issues with the owner. Please strive instead to provide more welcoming experience to your guests and your place can thrive again.

This thai restaurant is so good! I really respect a restaurant that doesn t alter the spice level and serves it as the chef prepared. The red curries are my go to, as are the fresh rolls. The spring rolls are fine but not worth ordering. They are really quick with takeout, which is my preference but offer a quiet dining experience if you are eating in. Service varies but the food never disappoints. Parking is the paid on-street situation found in Old Town, which can be tough when the Shaw has a play on but the off season and off peak hours have no parking issues.

Definitely NOT Niagaras finest! Overpriced for the quality. We had an early dinner reservation. Service was great at first, and really slowed when more people arrived. Apps were fabulous (chicken satay, coconut soup). Entrees were disappointing. Pad Thai with beef tenderloin - rice noodles (like spaghetti) were overcooked and sticky, sauce was bland, thin strips of beef. Sweet and sour was ok, but could have added more pineapple chunks. Parking: Street parking only. Pay by cash or mobile app. No credit card.

I recently dined at Niagara s Finest Thai. It was an absolute delight. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the service was outstanding. Our server made great recommendations and was professional and courteous. What made our dining experience even better was the concept of sharing our preferences with one another. We were a party of 4, and Instead of each ordering individual dishes, we decided to share our favourite dishes with each other. The assorted appetizer tray was delicious! The Pad Thai s were exceptional with just the right amount of spice and tanginess, but what made it even better was the fact we all got to sample it & appreciate the unique combinations of flavours together. Overall, I would highly recommend Niagara s Finest Thai for a wonderful & unique dining experience. The sharing concept truly adds something special to the meal. The food is amazing and you won t regret giving it a try.

Ive been to this place many times in the past. Unfortunately looks like theyve changed the menu! Tum Kai Soup tasted great but it was very small. Ordered the Ginger stir fry with shrimp.: It was small and unfortunately had mostly onion and shreds of mushroom which were crunchy - strange My wife and I ended up paying for our soups and returned our meal. Too bad - we used to really enjoy this place.

I would strongly not recommend this place due to the fact that if you are not a retired white person, you will be treated less then. Upon arrival, my group of people were asked if we had a reservation with no smile no, happy greeting. Meanwhile, the place is empty AF The server barely made eye contact snatch the dishes away. Dashed the bill on the table and just seem to want to get us out as soon as possible. Unfortunately I work around the corner so this just limits my options that I can have here at Niagara on the lake. Again would strongly not recommend this place as sooner drive to Saint Catherine s and get takeout. The food was not lit. This place is rude racist Oh, and we did ask for salt and pepper heads up the server brought two shakers of salt after expressing the fact that she had to go find them That shows you the amount of seasoning and flavour their food has. service gets negative one star.

Its very tasty, but portions are smaller than a typical thai restaurant in the U.S. We bought a number of plates planning to share between a group, which is what we usually do in the USA, but found the dishes to be a single portion size as opposed to the family size. Food was delicious, though, and was not the fault of the restaurant. We just wish we had realized and would have ordered about a plate per person. It is also pricey so be prepared.

The food and the atmosphere here are really good. Its the service unfortunately that is to be desired, and completely dependent on the servers attentiveness, of which on this occasion was almost non-existent. On the other hand, I am always pleased by the quality of the food and the ingredients. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and ability to customize your dish. By default, with the exception of fish sauce, almost everything comes as vegetarian by default. Parking: Street parking is limited but is inexpensive in Niagara on the Lake. Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are ground level with assisted operation devices. Not all tables are accessible but there are plenty of options.

Came in half an hour early for a 6:30pm reservation and was told that I wasn t able to be seated early because they had to seat those who had reservations at 6:00pm. No one showed up for the mentioned 6:00pm reservations and there were empty tables for us to be sat at. Didn t want to make too much of a fuss as they were busy, but they could ve at least sat us and told us that they were either short-staffed or overwhelmed. There were tables left uncleared that we could ve sat at as well. There are restaurants in Toronto that are double their size, with the same number of wait staff, and with less chefs in the kitchen (they had five in the kitchen) and can manage way better with less human resources. There were also people who walked in and said they were not taking reservations, when they had tables available on the OpenTable app if they reserved it as well which made no sense. By the time 6:30 came, we ended up getting seated at a table that has been empty since we arrived, which was really stupid. Aside from poor management, the food was delicious. I initially wanted their pad gra prao, but they didn t have it available. My secondary choice of the gra pao dao was also unavailable, so I ended up getting their chef s pad that that I recommend. Definitely consider other Thai restaurants in the Niagara area in the meantime until they can effectively run their business.

If you like really spicy food and expect your pad Thai noodle to be spicy this place is not for you. I order spicy noodles with vegetables. It was a nightmare.

Sorry to have walked into this restaurant. Our go to soup has always been Tom Yom Soup and the one they make at this restaurant is absolutely far from it.

Finally their steamed vegetables sorry to say but have to go straight into the recycling bin.

Had dinner on a quiet night, seated and served quickly. Ordered the appetizer sampler to start and the cashew saute meal. The appetizers were very good. We did find the shrimp chips a little strong. But the chicken and both rolls were amazing! The coconut shrimp was very good as well. But the best part was the cashew chicken saute! The blend of veggies and cashews was great, but the sauce was perfect. A little spicy and very flavourful! Loved it!

Walked in this restaurant because of the catchy name , Niagara s finest Thai. We were sat at a regular table with chairs. The restaurant was not very full with many empty tables. We saw a booth and asked to sit there but the hostess said it was reserved and the people were on their way. If it was reserved, no one came during the time we were there. We wanted to try the chef s signature pad Thai. Our server told us the chef uses his signature ingredient and he s from Thailand. When the pad Thai came, it didn t look like any pad Thai we ve ever seen in terms of color. When we took our first bite, all we tasted was a sweet flavor. We should have sent it back, but instead we asked for some chilli flakes or hot sauce. The server said they had sambal oelek. The only way we managed to eat the pad Thai was to put a lot of the hot sauce so it didn t taste syrupy sweet. We also ordered the chicken satay. The peanut sauce was also sweet. From our experience, there is no complexity in flavors, the common flavour is sugar. The size of the pad Thai was small at $29. There wasn t a lot of noodles. There was 2 prawns and very little chicken. Also, we were lucky we were not hungry or in a rush. It took a long time for the food to arrive. Even shrimp chips took an unusual amount of time. Even though there were only about three tables of 2 to 4 people who were sat when we arrived and most of them were already eating. Our server was friendly and efficient. However, we question her comment about the special sauce for the pad Thai. Overall it was a poor experience.

We were looking for quick lunch after golf yesterday and on the into to we say sign for Niagara s Finest Thai. That sounded perfect, to both of us. Long story short: everything was wonderful. Service was great - very engaged but not intrusive. I had red curry, my husband had green. He says his was a 10 - and he always tries a new version. My red veg had such a variety of veg in the curries that it was just so remarkable. They were delicately prepared and so delish! Prices are reasonable. In this case, you won t regret the price - it was wonderful.

December 22, 2023

Would give zero stars if I could. Food was bland, menu was very limited and it took forever for the food to arrive. Definitely not authentic Thai, and certainly not the finest. Small portions, pricy, yet not tasty. Would not recommend.

December 22, 2023

Ordered Pad See Ew and it was absolutely horrible. First of all, it tasted and smelt like a barn. Honestly, as if I walked into a barn full of animals - absolutely disgusting and I m not even trying to be funny. Secondly, it was supposed to have vegetables and all it came with was noodles, egg, asparagus, and soy sauce with a STRONG barn smell and taste. I left feeling ripped off and grossed out.

The place is not even busy and if you don t have reservation they will let you sit in the bar which is so uncomfortable to eat and there were a lot of empty seats available. The food is not even that great it s mediocre at it best. Food court Thai food is way better than this Finest Thai . Price is way over the top. Their spring rolls was even great and it cost you more than 10 bucks for a small spring roll. This place is a joke.

Without a doubt, some of the worst Thai food we ve ever had. Upon walking in and seeing a packed dining room, and being told we had to wait for a table, I imagined we were in for a treat if we waited. Wrong! We are vegan and were informed of the vegan options. We had the pad Thai and panang curry. The pad Thai was ridiculously sweet and had no other recognizable flavours. Even the vegetables in the dish were outrageously sweet, basically with a glazed mouthfeel. I could not eat it. The curry was better but still was very sweet and was not spicy as it was advertised. We were given five pieces of fried tofu on the side to add to the curry. For the prices they charged, this was unacceptable. I thought that perhaps because we got vegan versions of the dishes, they tasted the way they did. However, I see many other reviews echo the same issues of sweetness. Definitely do not waste your time and money here, vegans especially. There are better options if you make a short drive to either Niagara Falls or St. Catharines.
