Pad Thai was sweeter than expected and tasted like it may have been seasoned with ketchup. Everything was ok, sufficient for takeout, but not a first choice for dine in.

★★★

Predominantly a takeout place but they do have very limited seating for 6-8 people. The food tasted good but the portion size was quite questionable. Ordered the chicken pad kee mow and even though I liked the taste, it had more veggies than rice noddle and chicken. It was more like a vegetable stir fry which is unacceptable for the price charged. Not sure why they would adapt this type of disproportion.. Tom yum did not really taste or look like tom yum at all. It was a clear chicken soup. Shrimp spring rolls were great.

This is a place we just keep coming back to! The beef salad is amazing (pictured); the green curry, tom kha, chicken satay, really everything we've ordered has been delicious (and if it's meant to be spicy, it actually is!) I know we'll return soon! Thank you Champa!

I ordered the combo 5 for a take out. The guy who attended to me was very courteous, the food was delicious, tasty and couldn’t get over the savoury texture of the veggies and protein. The best Thai food I’ve tasted was gotten here. I give it to you guys 💐.

Best Thai restaurant in Byward market without question, and its family owned! 🇹🇭🍛 I've ordered numerous times, and the quality is consistently spot on. 👌 The combo deals offer a great value and let you try a few different items in smaller portions - great for a single person!

SOOOO AMAZING!!!! Could not recommend enough!!! We had the chicken pad thai and shrimp pad see-leu and it was to die for! The staff were so lovely and sweet. We had such a great experience. The food, the speed, the service, the small, homey atmosphere with the big window was just perfect. The pad thai came with the most beautiful carved carrot butterfly and that completely made my day!!! 🦋🥕

This place has the best chicken fried rice I have ever had. Well maybe in Canada. The shrimp spring rolls are to die for and the fried chicken appetizers are so good. They remind me of Nigerian fried chicken. I asked for some chilli peppers and they gave me these dried peppers that elevated the meal to the next level.

★★★★★

I'm really into this family run Thai place. The flavours are well balanced; no overly cloying sweetness and muted spiciness like other Americanized (canadianized???) Thank places. I think their dinner sets are good value as they also come with soup. I'm eager to go try their lunch combos as well. Service was nice and checked in me multiple times.

Used to come here OFTEN about 5-6 years ago. Recently got 2 shrimp pad thai and a beef pad thai. The shrimp pad thai had 4 shrimp in the entire dish. We laughed about it, thinking it was a mistake, but then we checked the other, and nope! With 4 shrimp and very minimal vegetables, we paid about 20$ each padthai for mostly a plate of noodles (albeit decently noodles). Beef pad thai was in a very similar state. Really should think about distribution. It may sound like a minor gripe, but its made a recurring customer not continue with your business. I loved your food, reminded me of my time in thailand. Hope this helps. In this restaurants current state, i cant recommend it. A few years ago? Absolutely! Have a good day

The green curry was ok. The pad thai (with veggies and tofu) tasted like the noodles and peanuts had been sitting way past expiry. Overall tasted like the food was in old oil used for meat and microwaved after going bad. Also, the menu showed that the green curry and pad thai were both $1 less than I was charged. When I asked, I was told it was the system.

Had a craving for Lao Papaya Salad and this place did not disappoint. Easily one of the best Ive had from a restaurant. Serving size was enough for 2 people. I requested it spicy and it was perfectly spicy without drowning out the rest of the flavors. 5 stars for the Papaya Salad. Beef salad was ok, but more of a stir fry than a salad. Was expecting it to come cold with herbs and spices. Instead it came hot with mostly just shallots. 3 stars. Sticky rice was way too sticky and wet to be satisfying eating it Lao style. Probably the packaging more than the cooking. 4 stars just because it was on the menu. Definitely recommended, Ill order again.

Given the high level of traffic at the restaurant, we were served correctly and within a reasonable time. I chose a chicken pad Se-Leu. Way too oily and very little chicken. The vegetables tasted of nothing except cooking oil.

Not too saucy. Hypoallergenic. Offer gluten free soy sauce. Remade a shrimp meal for us when we noticed the shrimp was battered. Really lovely menu. Pad Thai, curries, tom yum soup etc. Protein selection for meals: Tofu, Chicken , beef. Small bathroom; atleast they have one. No parking lot. Park on street.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the Thai restaurant I am most satisfied with in Ottawa. It is full of flavor and reasonably priced. A combo of more than 20 cad includes curry rice stir-fry and tom yum soup. I think their cream soup is not the best. Losing to the tom yum soup, the spring rolls are not the small frozen spring rolls in the supermarket but three very large ones, freshly fried and crispy. I used to be very sensitive to the taste of fish sauce, and their dishes have just the right proportion of fish sauce. The cashews in the mango salad are very fragrant, and the Thai milk tea is also delicious. It is worth going back again and again.

Do not be fooled by this location, first time here and was unsure if dine in was possible. I am so happy we found this place. Such a hidden gem. I always drive by here when I am in town. Absolutely authentic Thai food and tastes delicious! I ordered The red curry pineapple, Lao papaya salad and combo 1. Everything was delicious, papaya salad was a little too salty but that didn t bother me, the spice was perfect. Definitely coming back here when I m in town.

I recently visited this Thai restaurant and was blown away by the quality of the food and the service provided. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I ordered the chicken pad thai and it was absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The portion size was generous and I left feeling completely satisfied. I also appreciated the attention to detail, such as the beautiful carrot butterfly that came with the dish. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful Thai cuisine in Ottawa.

December 21, 2023

They are cheating people without menu card in the hotel. The price of combo is $19 in the Google photo. We ordered by phone and went there for pickup. At that time, we were shocked. Because, they charged us $30+tax for one chicken combo. And they said, price was changed as $23.50 before 6 months back. Again the price was changed now as $30+tax. So, I am not satisfied with them. Food taste is ok and the rice is very sweet. Itsnot worth for money. But they cheated us. Because in their website itself, the price is $23.50 only.

It s a cute neighborhood restaurant run by a Thai family. It seems to be mainly a delivery/takeout restaurant with 3 tables. The food is all delicious, but a bit salty so I only had one bowl of rice. I recommend ordering it and eating it together. Thai iced tea is served in cans.

Review updated to reflect this This used to be our go to for Thai and we would order once a week, however they must have changed something recently because it s not as good. The spice level has decreased significantly. We ordered the pad Thai spicy twice now and it s like ordering it from any place. No spice. Same for the panaang curry. Not spicy at all. Also they changed the satay and their peanut sauce. They were my daughter s favorite but she s now extremely disappointed that they don t taste as good. A shame really

Family run small restaurant. Ordered a beef green curry, chicken badil stir fry, papaya salad and some rice for take out and was advised that they were currently very busy and can take more than 20 min before I paid which I apreciated. The staff was very welcoming. Not sure if that day was exceptional, as I waited, the staff seem to be overwhelmed as every takeout apps that were coming in had to wait for their order. I ended up waiting a total of 50 min after paying. I was not offered an explanation but suspect that my order was forgotten from the bit and pieces that I overheard. The food was excellent, spice was on point and the taste was authentic based from eating often at my Thai friends family.

Honestly love this place. I order at least 2-3 times a month. But lately every time I order the hot/sour coconut shrimp soup, there is ALWAYS pieces of chicken in it and its upsetting because I specifically order the shrimp one because I dont eat chicken. This happened the last 3 times and sadly, I will no longer order this soup because of this. The curries are bomb. Pad thai is average. Sometimes its so good and sometimes its just meh. But for real. Really disappointed about the soup. I just had it 5 minutes ago and chewed on a chicken piece and just turned me right off. Happened last time too and as someone that doesnt eat meat, its just gross.

Of the three Thai restaurants I have now tried in Byward Market area, this one definitely takes the win. The serving sizes were good. Green curry and salad servings seemed larger than other restaurants. The taste was great! Real coconut curry flavor from the green curry. Stir fry dishes were spicy but so good I found myself eating more facing all the sweats! Mango salad was super tasty! I can only imagine how good it would have been if mangos were in season. Overall, it definitely was a fulfilling meal and I felt the warmth of the spice in my belly. Highly recommended if youre in the area!

Went there for the first time tonight, inspired by the great reviews, and was not disappointed! We had the spring rolls, lad na, and chicken panang curry - all delicious. It was ready for takeout/pickup quickly. Will be back to try the pad thai!

Wow this place is good. It was recommended to us and boy does it not disappoint. The best Thai food weve had in a long time. If you order takeout or delivery, its well packaged and comes boiling hot as if they just took it off the stove - something a lot of other delivery/takeout places lack (many times with other places my food shows up luke warm and I have to warm it up again). Its so good that we ordered it two days in a row! Highly recommend.

Best Thai place in Ottawa! Generous portions, and they included plenty of chicken in my yellow curry. The Tom Kha Gai soup is wonderful, and a lot of Thai places in Ottawa dont have it on the menu. Despite being a rather plain looking takeout place, the food is vibrant and delicious! A curry meal and side of rice will fill me up for 2 full meals! Better food and prices compared with the more upscale Thai restaurants in the area!

Ive lived in Ottawa for 31 years.... And have been looking for an authentic thai restaurant my entire adulthood... 20 years ago I may have said this was it.... but I can not say it is now. I knew Champa Thai existed (but never tried it until now, because I live in Orleans; a ride away from downtown Ottawa). It is amazing food... the best thai food around: UNTIL...recently. I can NOT give it 5 stars because Chili Thai opened up in Orleans and it is THE BEST thai food I have ever had the pleasure of eating in my LIFE. Chili Thai for the win in Ottawa, if not ONTARIO! Super fresh food ALWAYS! They never skimp on freshness OR taste! So good

Ordered a combo thinking it would be enough for two as the menu was not clear how big the combo was. The combo came with substantial amount of food, but not for two. As for the food, it is very tasty, but it is a bit greasy for my taste.

★★★★★
December 21, 2020

Had the Combo number 5. This isnt a high class fancy place. This place offers value Thai food and its consistent. The fried rice was a little too greasy for my liking. The springrolls were very well cooked but the filling was mediocre. The dipping sauce was sweet and didnt pair well with the sweetness of the cabbage, in my opinion. The Champa Thai curry was incredible! Very unique! The side soup was too salty for my taste, but would pair well with the meal. Packaging was well done, no spills and it was simple. Best part was that food was still piping hot even after 30 minutes. Burnt my tongue on how quick I ate it. Delicious, will be returning! Thanks for staying open!

I cant believe I went so long without such exceptional Thai food! I called and placed an order for delivery with the restaurant (not an app) and less than 45 minutes later we had the most delicious meal. Warning, the papaya salad is spicy! Our red and green curries had so much depth in flavour, its unlike any Thai Ive had before. We asked that everything was gluten-free and they assured it would be, even confirmed it at the end of the order. This is our new home for Thai!
