Ordered MILD chicken pad Thai and received it very spicy. Also had another order with battered chicken and received regular chicken. The cashier seemed to be pretty distracted and clearly wasn’t listening. Very disappointing because the pad Thai was for my children and now they will not eat it

Place is located at a convenient location with lots of parking. Food is good and portions are good as well. Staff are friendly and service is quick. They regularly have deals going. Wouldn’t consider them authentic Thai, nevertheless they offer good food, simple menu. They use breaded chicken and the coating in some case is more than the chicken itself, otherwise all good.

Automatic 1 star when you’re buying 5 star reviews. People use Google reviews to get an honest opinion of your restaurant. Tampering is just wrong. If it were up to me, the restaurant’s review page would be flagged with a warning.

I have been a loyal customer to this store for years. Absolutely loved them. However, The past two times I’ve been here I pulled TWO huge chunks of hard, sharp plastic out of my mouth. The first time I didn’t say anything because I’ve worked in fast food and understand things happen. I had been going to this location for years and never had any issues so figured it was a fluke. However, I don’t understand how this happens twice. Disgusting and I will not be going back unfortunately.

Extremely disappointed with the service and food. I ordered PadSew (large noodles with Chinese broccoli, egg and added chicken) I noticed while they were making it that there was no Chinese broccoli and egg. The lady handed it to me and I told her I did not notice any egg or Chinese broccoli. She argued and said yes there is. I opened the box and ate at the seating area and there was one leaf and no egg! I went back and she insisted it was at the bottom.. I asked for a plate and poured the food out. There was nothing! See the photos. She continued to argue and would not remake the order or refund my food. I will NEVER purchase food there again!!

It s hard to find Pad Thai locations that have the trifecta of great standards. This location does it well. Ordered here several times and each time it was a great experience. Keep up the great work!

Came here when they were busy, and there were 3 staff members in the prep area. I waited by the cash register, and no one greeted me. Some members looked at me a few times but didnt acknowledge me or say anything. A simple hi, well be with you shortly would have sufficed. I left after waiting a few minutes.

Very bad service and lie to customer. Big big sign in front of the restaurant advertising Sunday special. When my wife order the Sunday special. She was charge full price. When my wife ask what about the special. They told her it doesnt apply to the Oshawa location. What a crook. My wife was too soft to argue with them and took the order and left very unhappy. If I was then I will just return it and and ask for money back. You think you get a few cents more for this order and won UT the fact is we will never go back to this location. I will also tell everyone at my work (in oshawa) not to visit this location. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. If you not being honest to your customer. You will not last for long.

Went in to redeem fido coupon for the spring roll and drink combo. The lady at the counter looked at it and scanned it quickly. Right after scanning, she said oops we don t have spring rolls today.
