Lychee Thai Restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie

A nice option to have in town.

I have ate here only as take out and the spring rolls are the best ever ... even my boyfriend who wont eat asoan or thai loved them . their curry with tofu and vegetables I always get and so yummy . I have had their soups also amazing . I do wish they made it more spicy I love spice . my boyfriend would like fried chicken rice they do have options but not for him . although he loved the pepper beef just too many onions. I have to say Im happy with this thai place they keep it consistent and always put out the best . Definitely go or get takeout it cures your curry need haha

We were looking for an Asian restaurant and the Lychee was suggested. The food was all fresh and awesome tasting. The Spicy Seafood was exceptional. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Average place, but crowded average food, good service

Food is always amazing and the owners are some of the most friendly people Ive ever had the pleasure of dealing with. One of my favorite spots in town

Really good Thai food

Food is very very good

Vegetarian options: Eggplant salad

Gouging prices and outlandish delivery fees combined with smaller portions and ridiculously inflexible prices has rendered this once golden gem of downtown down to a one star street food restaurant.

Excellent fresh food and friendly staff.

We love eating here. The presentation, colour and the flavour is unbelievable

I recommend this location because it is a family-local owned restaurant. It is a nice clean place, very cozy and cultural atmosphere! I had ordered pad-thai and it was fantastic, except they cut our noodles. Which goes against the ancient asian proverb, long noodles, long life. It is quite disappointing when restaurants do this to their dishes. Free parking located around the back of the building, with access from the side. It is a reletively safe location in downtown Sault Ste. Marie. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have seperate lunch and dinner menus, licensed by L.L.B.O.(they serve booze!). I would suggest this place to anyone! Enjoy! Peace, Love & Music! Vegetarian options: They have a wide variety of noodles and vegetables to offer several vegitarian dishes. Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions, speak-up and they are willing to alter dishes to fit your fancy. Parking: There are a few spots on the road that I think cost to park. And there is a large free lot around the back of the building. Kid-friendliness: It is as kid friendly as it gets. They have a kids menu, high chairs and booster seats. Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is fully handicap accessible.

Great Thai food. Delicious each and every time.

I was told a hack by a very sweet Asian lady that if I wanted to find the best authentic Asian food, look for a place with 3.5 stars and she was right. Tried this place and never looked back. Its my go to Thai place now. Highly recommend.

I used to come here every couple of months for work and always ate here but had a break for a couple of years and it used to be very good. I was very disappointed this time. First, the fact that they are closed for in restaurant dining is not on their website and when i called for a takeout order, they only told me at the end, that I should come to the backdoor. Have you been to this location? Luckily, the sun was still out because I would have just cancelled my order. The back of any restaurant is generally not customer friendly and this is not an exception. You walk into a small blocked off musty storage area separated off by a small table and what I think was a bedsheet. I should have left but I was so hungry and not alot was open on Queen. The other warning bell was that familiar sound of the microwave door slamming every once in a while. All I want to hear in an Asian restaurant kitchen is the roar of the burner and the metal on metal woking, especially for what I ordered. The prices have gone up ALOT. That, I can live with. Restaurants have struggled, sure. But when you see the prices go up 20-25% and the portions go down too, then youre like, really??? I had an appetizer for nearly 10$ that were the size of my thumb. My main tasted stale if not rancid. Either the crushed peanuts or the frying oil used was definitely old. It left a horrible taste in my mouth and i could not finish. Also, the dish i got was a poor POOR version of the dish i ordered. Ive had it here in the past. This tasted like raw cupboard spices fried on noodles. Also they used the very very thin noodles that all clumped together. There was no sauce that comes with this dish. It was dry dry noodles with raw spice taste. It was awful. There was a decent amount of protein but there was very very little vegetables. no bean sprouts, maybe 5-7 pieces of thin bell pepper and onion. Not as described. I do not recommend you get take out here. They should move pick up to the front like lots of people did during the pandemic. I did not feel safe going to that back door. They need to improve the quality of the food and check on age of the ingredients. It was expensive for the mall-style food i had.

Eaten here a few times while out of town. Some of the food is edible, but nothing outstanding. the cold shrimp rolls each only come with one piece of shrimp cut in half (so half a shrimp per roll) and were so loosely wrapped it was very hard to eat and didnt really taste that fresh. the pad thai was just kinda meh with a smoking hot lemon slice and dry rubbery shrimp indicative of the food being precooked and then microwaved to temp, spring rolls are blah, wonton soup is very bland, and the crab fried rice tastes like fish (not the good way) and was definitely also microwaved, it was so bad it went straight to the trash. The mango salad is ok, and the curries are actually very tasty, but you have to order rice separately. For what it costs to make rice it should definitely come with the dish. Today was officially the last day I order food from here. Theres just more bad than there is good.

Good food, big portions. Many veg options can be made vegan. Picking up food from back door is fine, it s in a well-lit parking lot and well marked, just off Bruce St.

Authentic thai food. The pineapple fried rice is a must try. Excellent service. Very generous portions

Very rude owner. She was yelling at the waiting staff in front of us. We felt very sorry for the poor girl. They served the wrong dish, a chicken dish instead of a vegetarian one. My friend realized this after taking a couple of bites, so we requested them to replace it. Some of my friends in my group didnt want to waste the food, so forced ate it. We were charged for the wrongly served dish, because we finished it. Anyways I wouldnt recommend for the owners rudeness and the way she treated her employee

We had a very delicious lunch at this restaurant. The owner, Carmen, was very attentive and caring. We enjoyed ourselves. Good quantity too.

Had a excellent dinner. Highly recommend. We really loved and recommend trying the spring rolls. Meal was great as well as service.

Amazing food and friendly staff. I have never had an issue with the food and I have been eating here for about 2 years. Food tastes authentic, I recommend the Pad See Ew and crab rangoon.

Pad Thai tasted like it had ketchup sauce on it. Gross.

Had an amazing beef curry. The appetizers were great. Had a mango drink and tasted good. The service from the staff was excellent, they were fast and really nice.

So went here with my friend recently and decided too order something my friend got a veggie dish and i got the noodles but she only got an onion with maybe 3 tiny tiny pieces of baby corn half an mushroom it was very disappointing she said it tasted disgusting the noodles were delicious but very dry and i needed to add my own sauce to make it not dry they did give us much time to order or pick if you like food like this great place to go but if you like good food without it being dry i dont recommend

Everything we ordered was tasty & fresh!

i ordered the tomyum soup with noodle and the deep fried wontons i waited around 45mins. if the food was delicious it is worth but isnt!the noodle didnt Separated with noodle.And also we just stop by motels.they didnt give us any spoon and forks .i wont go anymore.

We ordered a variety of dishes for a take out birthday dinner and all were excellent!

its all about the Lychee, Pumpkin Doodles

Inspirational food it changed my life

I wanna like this. But unfortunately I don t. All my Asian friends know whenever you are on the road especially when you are on interior, having seen an Asian restaurant cheers us up. The Tomyum soup has literally two shrimps inside, no other solid. No mushrooms, no other veggies. I mean the coffee I got has more solids in it! The pad Thai I had doesn t taste good at all. I even tipped 10% for the take out because I wanted to encourage local business. Lychee Thai, you really need to hire some decent chef otherwise you may go bankrupt soon and you can t blame Covid!

Only restaurant in town that sells Thai food, decent tho

Don t waste your time coming here to eat. They only have takeout from the back door.

Happy with the green curry with chicken and the pad see ew with beef - very good

Decent Pad Thai!

Been coming for over a year now and never had a problem ! Good meal, good price, I have accommodations with my order and they ve never gotten it wrong. Ready quick and the lady who meets me for take out is always friendly (:

Just had two inedible Pad Thai dishes delivered to my hotel. One tasted like it was flavored with diluted ketchup while the other tasted like over cooked $.25 Ramen noodles that somebody forgot to put the seasoning packet on. The chicken quality was poor in the tiny few pieces I could find in the dishes. Avoid.

I have eaten here a few years ago and it was very good but now not so much. My friend has Tom yum soup which has 2 shrimp in broth. No other ingredients. Very little flavor. Spring rolls were very unspring like as they were very greasy and tasted as if the grease was quite old. I wont be back and hope I can find a good Thai restaurant somewhere else in the area.

The best wonton soup I ve ever had!

We had the wonton soup, chicken satay, shrimp rolls, and pad Thai. The food was great and the lady was extremely polite. I had takeout and they packaged everything nicely and even included styrofoam plates and a bowl which was greatly appreciated since we were at a hotel.

Outstanding as always. We only order takeout once or twice a year, but always excellent food and service. Can you find better Thai? Maybe, but only if you know exactly where to go in Toronto or Vancouver, or if you want to fly to Bangkok. Lychee Thai ranks right up there with the best of them. Excellent quality, excellent service, and good takeout portions.

Food was great and the portion sizes were enough to actually fill you up. Plus vegan options so thats a bonus.

Food was good but not great. To Go only. Good service out the back door.

worst place ever. they served my dad freezer burned food, and when he simply asked for something else she refused to serve him. disgusting

friendly fairly clean atmosphere stars. Good food.

I had Bangkok street pad Thai, with beef, but beef meat wasnt good!

The food here was mediocre, and the service was sub-par.

The owners rude and the foods expensive.

The foods not good and pricey, the old lady working there is an awful person. Very rude!

A little salty for my taste, but delicious. I recommend you.

Service and meal were great

Great food great price great portion great service Really enjoyed highly recommend

Great service and large amounts of food. Taste great

One of my favourite restaurants in town - never have any issues with service, food is always yummy and take out doesnt take long at all! Also, portion size is perfect!

Definitely in my top 5 favorite restaurants in the Soo! Extremely fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Lots of choices on the menu at great prices and great portion sizes. You just might leave with a doggy bag. The pad thai is perfect. The sesame chicken just cant be replicated (believe me Ive tried!). All the veggies are cooked perfectly and taste very fresh and never frozen tasting. I dont think Ive ever had anything off the menu that I wasnt 110% thrilled with. Very nice staff and comfortable atmosphere/seating.

Ordered here for the first time today and I am very happy I did! Will definitely be a returning customer. Was craving Pad Thai and the pictures sucked me in. Pad Thai was great! Lots of flavour and we also tried the deep fried wontons and Thai spring rolls. They were also very delicious!! The staff was very friendly. Would recommend this place 100%. Can t wait to try other menu items!

Food was just awful !!!! Nothing even close to Thai ...taste like chineese low class fast food !!!! Green curry was a joke !!!! NIGHTMARE!!

My go to for take out. This order however was a bit of a disappoint. Ordered a shrimp dish that was described on the menu as having green and red peppers, it had neither, instead it was carrots and cherry tomatoes. Still good but not what I was expecting.

Food is tasty, price is alright, helpful staff.

Great food. Very friendly.

Absolutely ripped off. The tatse for Pad Thai (lunch meal) and Golden curry were so so, the wonton soup was tasteless (both soup and wonton), felt like water. The spring roll was the best - but nothing outstanding. To be honest the food was not too bad but there was no Thai taste here. Were big fans of Thai food and were so disappointed with both quality and quantity here. The price was too expensive. We believe as this is one of the few Asian restaurants in the area, thats why it can survive. We only had picture of beef Pad Thai ($13.99) and the bill - portion too small, not much meat. Curry was better a bit but we had to pay $3.5 for a small portion of steamed rice to eat with it - never happen in my life. Just to clarify, when the server asked what I chose to eat with curry - I said steamed rice because ALL Thai restaurant I ate before offer free rice with curry. I never thought that I had to pay for that. My fault for not reading the menu carefully but again - ripped off. Stay away from this restaurant. Subway or Tim horton is a muchh better choice. Save your day.

Pad Thai tastes the furthest thing from genuine pad Thai - weird banana taste that I can t even explain. Not to mention very little meat. For $13.99 I expected more protein from what was basically noodles and foul tasting sauce. Wonton soup is tasteless - both broth and wontons. The broth tastes like boiled wonton water, and the wonton filling is no better. If you are passing through Saulte Ste Marie I would not recommend this restaurant for takeout! So disappointing.

Have only tried the pineapple fried rice, a dozen times or more very excellent

One of my favorite restaurants in town!

Portions and service is great. During these times they still offer only take out. I found the green thai vegetable curry to hold a bit of authentic taste but the fried rice and vegetables mix wasnt any great, just a lot of onions.

Incredible warm atmosphere. I had a sublime Pad Thai, but I was expecting spicier dishes like you see in Toronto or Montreal.

Ordered curry pad Thai. Food was so so. Doesnt matter where I go, there is no better Thai food restaurant than those in Toronto.

Always great food !,

Get the jasmine rice!!!

Had the Tom Yum lunch special. Came with a tasty spring roll and adequate wonton soup as sides. Then it was time for the Main dish. I inquired if I could have mine extra spicy, the waitress politely informed me that the soup base was already quite spicy. She wasnt kidding. Im a huge fan of spicy food and this soup delivered. Delicious and I actually got a good sweat on eating it. Food came quickly. Recommend getting the shrimp for a reasonable additional fee in the soup, really adds a nice extra flavor profile. Would recommend this place, and will be returning myself.

This is the most unauthentic Thai food I have ever had . This restaurant is a Chinese restaurant in disguising itself as a Thai restaurant , even all the employees were Chinese . The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because for Chinese food it was good.

Has NOTHING to do with Thai food. Very mediocre Chinese, badly prepared . Tom Yam cant (and shouldnt) have noodles. Geberal Thai (actually, Tso) is a Chinese dish. Food tastes even worse than it looks . Unfortunately, Ive been to Thailand many times, and on top of that Im a trained chef. Never again. This food is an abomination.

Service good . Food less desirable.

The food was ok. Price for the portion was ok. Convenient location. Not an actual Thai restaurant though.

The food is always delicious, and reasonably priced. The owners are very wonderful people. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely one of my top choices when I am downtown Sault Ste Marie.

I have ordered phad thai here twice, twice it was really bad it tasted dry like they scraped the noodles that were stuck to bottom of pan for a week out and then microwaved the hell out of it

Love the food and the service

The eggplant was spicy and delicious. The mixed vegetables nutritious and had tofu for vegetarians but think it needed a curry sauce or something with more flavor. Lots of variety. Booths so a somewhat relaxed atmosphere.

Not great. Not horrible.

great selection, generous portions. great taste...

Their food was pretty good! The only thing that needs improvement would be the service, theyre very under staffed when I went. Their cool shrimp roll was a bit loosely wrapped, but everything else was awesome! We got the Street Style Pad Thai, Pad-Nad-Ew, and Bok Choi with Garlic Sauce The flavours were great, the taste was pretty authentic.

Very quick service.

Dans presque tout les endroits que je visite , j aime aller goûter le thaï du coin. Celui ci, on aurait dû l oublier. J ai pris un pad thaï sur le menu du lunch. Si j avais 6 morceaux de poulets c est beau. Était servi avec une soupe wonton (3) de petit format, 1 rouleau qui débordait d huile à friture et de goût médiocre. Du début à la fin c était plus qu ordinaire.

The fried rice tastes very good, and the beef in the stir-fried beef river is so tender.

Loved it except for the prices, a little pricey for the amount that you get on your plate.

Excellent food. The orange cashew nut chicken and pumpkin curry soup were delicious. Friendly efficient staff. Clean restaurant.

Food and the staff server was good. The owner was very unfriendly and we could hear her saying nasty comments about other customers. We requested for extra lime which was handed over reluctantly.

If it wasn t for the sweet server and the kitchen staff - this place deserves a very bad review. The food was great and our server was very cordial and helpful. Owner - a different ball game! Very rude. Two other tables today evening had issues with the owner and her attitude.

Horrible service , I waited an hour and thirty minutes, they gave me the wrong order and the food was awful! Don t waste your money !!!!

Lovely staff, excellent food, large portions, reasonably priced.

The food was great. Service very good.

Food was great. Basil beef was nice and spicy. Friendly staff and prompt service.

I will NEVER go again and neither will the people who were with me. I was DENIED A MEAL by the owner after politely communicating to the server about my meal being freezer burnt. I told her there was an unpleasant plastic/stale auromatic smell and taste to my food. The red curry sea food dish clearly had freezer burnt items that over powered the texture and taste. I was not angry; and thought by telling the server, I was doing the restaurant a favour. This is what happened... After 5 minutes, the owner had the odasity to walk over to our table with my old dish in hand, and asked what was wrong with it; followed by her telling me SHE IS NOT GOING TO RETAKE ANY ORDERS FROM ME BECAUSE ALL HER FOOD IS FROZEN AND SHE CANT TRUST ME TO LIKE IT AND NOT RETURN IT! Outside of blowing a fuse, I had her verbally confirm her actions of not taking my new order and SHE DID. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS, I SHOULD OF LEFT AND NOT PAYED. All my life I treat people with respect and this was no different. I agreed to NOT re-order any food. I let my friends finish up their meals. I paid for everything except for that dish. I asked the server if she has to split tips. She said yes, so I gave 0% tip and asked her if she had five minutes to talk outside. She did and was very apologetic by the situation. As she apologized there was a $20 dollar bill on the floor; she asked if it was mine. I said no but told her to keep it. Luck has its way of finding good people. As for her boss and restaurant owner, NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO THERE.

Terrible customer service. Our dish tasted freezer burnt and generally off...not appetizing especially when its seafood. The owner denied us a new order and told us that everything is frozen and its impossible to get fresh seafood. I understand that, but it still shouldnt be freezer burnt. A replacement order would have been more than fair, but instead she was angry and rude. Her poor attitude ruined our night out with friends and family and my husband did not have a meal. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Great food

Very disappointing Pad Thai - shrimp were rubbery and flavourless, and the noodles appeared to have just been coloured, not flavoured with any actual seasoning or spice. Also had the cool rice wraps, which immediately fell apart and shared the similar lacklustre taste. No peanut sauce included for these either, and I had to find my own utensils and napkins for takeout. High price, awful food.

Ive never been here. How was it?

Very friendly staff and owners, food was great. Would recommend to anyone to try it.

First time good food

Fantastic food good value.

Good food but was surprised that you need to order rice separately for each dish. In my experience these Thai dishes usually come with a serving of rice.

We ordered take out and the food was so good! I ordered Shanghai noodles and they were so tasty - just the right amount of spice, too. The pineapple fried rice was also super delicious, and the won ton soup was the best Ive had in a while.

Food is fresh and they make most of their own sauces etc. Service is friendly and suggestions offered when you ask. Here are pictures of spring rolls (come with all lunch choices), bubble tea and pad Tai. All were excellent.

Great Pad Thai!

Great selection of menu choices and very tasty food.

Huge portions and very tasty! Had a good meal here tonight (party of five). Service was very prompt and friendly. Recommend this store to anyone looking for a quick Thai food meal!

Great food, amazing service just very small!! Prices are good.

Love the pad Thai!!

Great food and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant. The food is authentic, and very good.

Friendly environment and we were able to find vegan options.

I always get either the Pad Thai or the Sesame Chicken and its always good!!

Pretty good thai food for Ssm. Similar flavors to thailand and the portion size was good. No complaints. Give it a try but the real stuff is in Thailand ;)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. Would highly recommend.

The service here was wonderful, but this is far from authentic Thai food. Having lived in Thailand for years, I was really disappointed by the food, portion sizes and high prices! The tomyum soup had zero Coconut milk, lemongrass, chili or any other ingredients that make tomyum. It was some watery bouillon with 2 sad and tough shrimp floating in it. The same went for The green mango salad. There was no sour green mango, peanuts, fish sauce, beans or anything that represented The REAL deal. Just sweet yellow mango chopped up with onion and pepper. Two of us cost about 80$ and we left hungry.

Great food as always. Mango smoothie was delicious as well as the Pad Thai and the Curry Pad Thai. We left satisfied and with food for tomorrow.

Try the curry pad thai!

Im very dissappointed in this restaurant i had visited here a year ago and the food was fantastic. I took a group here in early june and was absouloutly disgusted. I had ghe chow mein and I could taste the mold in my vegetables, the others in my group stated their noodles had the consistency of worms The only good thing was the wonton soup. It was also very difficult for a member of my group to explain an egg allergy to the waitress. If the food was good the portions would be well worth the price.

Fast friendly service

The food is completely westernized. Does not even resemble Thai food. My friend had the worst golden curry pad Thai and regretted it. The coconut based ingredient was spoilt or at the end of life. I would have given 1 star but my food was edible. If anyone claims the food was authentic, then they have not been to other Thai food places elsewhere, let alone Thailand; or the chef is going through some hard time

Very nice little place..nice decor..very clean. No dust on railing between booths or artificial flower arrangements. Girls were prompt with service and food was good and reasonable priced..no waiting either.

Expensive with very little meat

Excellent food and service!

Good food good service good price

Good food nice location

Very good food and service. Very quick

Delicious!

I love this little place,because they have the good quality food and very nice service,people very friendly,special when you finish a one day trip,that is very easy find and nice Asian restaurant to enjoy an awesome dinner in there,good choice,you should try

We ordered food to go,you know what, it was awesome. It is a small busy restaurant but not noisy and the staffs are super nice and warm welcome. You can dine in or take out or get delivery service.I love the pineapple fried rice very much and my friends finished all the delicious food even though those were big portions.Reasonable price,nice environment,big portion, wonderful staff,quick service, why not choose eating here.Lychee Thai is your best choice if you like Asian food.

Food was not bad and price was in general reasonable except for steamed rice which carried a price tag of $3.50 for a small bowl. Now thats a rip off. You need to have steamed rice to go with all these curry dishes and Ive never seen such ridiculous price in my life.

The veggie soup recommended by the waitress was a real shame!! It was tasty and spicy but I cannot justify paying $6,50 for a few pieces of broccoli and mushrooms. I feel like the chicken would have been better at least for the price. The bangkok pad thai, even though it looked really good tasted really generic and without the flavor of an authentic pad thai. On the good point, the noodles did have a charred taste to it which was good. I was just traveling through, so I dont know if this was a one off. I would still give a try to one of their other dishes.

Cheap good food

Spring rolls yummy

Ok.

Prices are expensive for the quality of the food. I ordered a Tom Yum rice noodle soup that didnt come with the ingredients that the menu descriptions said. I have tried this soup before and it was completely diferent. I complained with the sever and she didnt do anything.

I will never go back to this place ever. Very bad food

Small and cozy dining room with great customer service.

Food was mediocre for the price. We stopped there on a whim to see if this food was any good compared to what we had before. Not very flavorful at all. I would not recommend it.

Excellent food and service at a fair price.

Fantastic lunch spot. Service is great and fast. Great value for the lunch specials.

Delicious Thai food and the staff is very friendly.

Love the thai food at this restaurant !!!

Had lunch special pad Thai take out. Everything was delicious.

Very good restaurant! Delicious food and good service. I can feel the level of cook here.
