I’ve been going to this restaurant for over 10 years now, when I moved out of the region I would actually take the hour drive to eat here it’s that good! I have never been disappointed. Some of my favourite dishes are the Spicy Beef ( I sup the mushrooms for broccoli as I don’t like mushrooms) Rama chicken and also the lemon chicken! Every time I go I have a hard time choosing which dish I wanna get so I almost always and up getting them all 😅

Although the service was very good but cannot say the same for food. We ordered Chocken Satay and brown calamari in starter and calamari was nice. Portion size was less but taste good. Unfortunately the chicken satay was bitter in taste and we complained about it and the server said it could be because of the charcoal and she reported that in the kitchen. In main-course, we ordered drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, crispy duck and green curry. Green curry was very nice (similar to any other Thai restaurant) and drunken noodles was too good. Unfortunately crispy duck smelled bad and pineapple fried rice was burnt. On reporting about the rice, server changed the dish and cooked fresh. The newly brought rice was okay but the turmeric was little too heavy. Anyways that’s all about the restaurant. There were many vagabonds roaming outside the restaurant and they will ask for money. Did not feel safe outside. So my overall feeling about the place is mixed. Cannot provide higher ratings.

Actually we had the Garlic Galore and the Darling Duck, with peanut chips and a few drinks. I have been there before and also recommend the crab Rangoon and crispy tofu. Great service!

Spicy Thai is a St.Catharine’s staple! This authentic Thai restaurent offers rich and delicious food at a reasonable price! We came for their lunch special which includes a house salad or soup, a vegetable spring roll and an entrée! They also have an amazing deal on Tuesdays. It’s a 2 can dine for $36 meal special which includes an appetizer to share and 2 entrées. The food was fantastic and their deals just can’t be beat anywhere else! We will definitely be going back to try other dishes!

First time here, after we visit the tulips farm. The decor of the restaurant is very Thai, but a bit dark. The free prawn cracker with cold curry sauce is great. We ordered tom yam soup, Penang curry, pad Thai, and khao Soi. The soup is ok, the prawns are big and crispy, but not sour enough. Khao soi is good, the thick noodle with curry sauce just good match. The pad thai is quite disappointing. This is one of the signature Thai dishes, but it taste like a plate of Chinese noddle in oyster sauce, too much sauce, terrible. Otherwise overall okay.

Spicy Thai is a hidden gem in this neighborhood! Despite the area, the food here is spectacular. We ordered the chicken pad thai, green curry, and chicken with cashew nuts—all were delicious! The service was great too. Definitely worth a visit!

This is a great hidden gem in St Catharines. Haven't been in year's and it was just as delicious as I remember. I had the Crispy Duck and it was perfectly done. Skin was dark and crispy the meat was juicy and full of flavour. My wife had the Siam fish and it to was very good. We were with a large group and everyone loved their meals, no complaints from anyone about anything. Our server was quick and friendly. Overall great dinner and experience.

The sauces and curries taste too sweet. The food doesnt seem authentic. Not as flavorful as I was expecting.

The food was tasty but for the price you pay the portions are not worth it. We paid $20 for Bangkok pad Thai and got 3 shrimp and small portion, light chicken as well. Not worth it.

If youre on the hunt for an authentic Thai dining experience, look no further than Spicy Thai Restaurant! I recently had the pleasure of enjoying an exquisite meal here, and I couldnt be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and inviting decor set the perfect tone for what was to come. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and a level of hospitality that made us feel right at home. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they were more than happy to make recommendations based on our preferences. Now, let s talk about the food! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor. The Pad Thai had just the right balance of sweetness and spice, and the fresh ingredients made all the difference. The Green Curry was a standout rich, creamy, and full of vibrant veggies. And for those who enjoy a bit of heat, the spicy basil stir-fry was simply fantastic. The presentation of each dish was a feast for the eyes as well, showcasing the restaurants attention to detail. Plus, the portion sizes were generous, making it great value for money. For dessert, we couldn t resist trying the mango sticky rice, and it was the perfect sweet ending to our meal delectably sweet and satisfying! Overall, Spicy Thai Restaurant exceeded all my expectations. The combination of fantastic food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone craving Thai cuisine. I cant wait to return and explore more of their tempting menu. Highly recommend!

The taste is quite Nanping. In terms of environment, Ma Bianchu has seen the Bendi people who eat Thai food. Its a barrier. The curry is very sweet, and if you season it with Thai spices, it will still be magically fragrant, with a smooth, salty, spicy and sweet texture.

The food is amazing and authentic. Ordered the appetizer Spicy Thai Sampler for 2 which had a bit of everything. My favourite was the Summer Salad Roll. Would definitely get this appetizer the next time I visit. I had ordered the Bangkok Style Pad Thai for my main. It was delicious, the amount of food was generous. I ended up having leftovers to take home. To finish off the I had ordered the Mango with Coconut Sticky Rice. Which is amazing!!! The mango sweetness complements the coconut sticky rice! They have an amazing lunch specials during the week.

One of the best Thai food options around. Spicy Thai never disappoints.

April 23, 2024

Finally decided to try this Thai restaurant as it s gotten some great reviews. Although the location is not so good the inside of the restaurant was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The service and the meal started out fairly well. The salad rolls were nicely presented with fresh ingredients but very basic. The sauce served with it was simply Sugar water. No chilli or peanut sauce served. The mains, both pad Thai were sub par. No flavour, barely any sauce, chicken was very bland, no seasoning. We ve ate at countless Thai restaurants and this pad Thai by far rated as the worst I ve had. The most disappointing part is no one bothered to ask us how the meal was after it was served. They waited approximately 20 minutes before asking if there was an issue. By that point I just wanted the bill. I asked the server for the bill and another 10 mins went by as we watched the server walk past numerous times. I had to take the bill up to the bar area and ask to pay. Disappointed and wouldn t return or recommend.

Lovely little hidden gem in St. Catharines! I was in the area for work and found this place. Parking wasn t the easiest but depending when you go, there may be (free) street parking available. Food was great! I got the Tom Yum Noodle lunch special and it was spicy. It also came with a spring roll and salad! Complimentary shrimp chips too. Definitely worth the $15 for everything! Some fast food will cost you about the same or more. Service was also very attentive. The only critic is the lighting could be a bit brighter throughout (including washroom). But I get it if they re trying to go for the dim, moody ambiance. Overall, very good first dining experience at Spicy Thai!

Stopped here after some wine tasting. Excellent service and the food was delicious. Staff is very knowledgeable and were able to accommodate vegan diet. We ordered the veg spring rolls, drunken noodles and green curry . All of these were spicy (we love spicy) and extremely well seasoned. We finished off with purple rice pudding for dessert. I am still dreaming about that dessert and will likely have to come back just for that! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Just ask for no fish sauce and they are easily able to Make any dish vegan.

Wonderful little place in the downtown area. We got there right before the dinner rush, and were pleased to experience the cozy atmosphere the restaurant offered. The crab Rangoons were delicious and crispy. We both ordered the drunken noodles and they were phenomenal. Beware that they do pack in the spice, and I made the mistake of asking for my plate hot, but that was just my mistake. The portion size was huge as well, so I had plenty for lunch the next day!

It was pathetic experience one can ever have. When we were asked to sit on a table; we asked if we could sit on another table saying that table was reserved. We were 4 and that table was for 4 people. She kept the reserved sign on that table and left after replying arrogantly. When we were almost done, two ladies came in and the same lady made them sit on that table. It was obvious that; that table was not reserved. When we were done, we wanted to speak about this incident with the manager who was not available. When I spoke about this to the staff, she called the other girl who misbehaved with us. The girl did not apologize and instead made faces. Food was OK. But the service was slow. The overall experience was totally unwelcoming. I will never go to this place where people do not know how to treat their guests.

On the way from US, we tried this restaurant. The waiters are very kind and lot of vegan/vegetarian options. Red curry and Fried rice were loaded with vegetables and portions were great. Prices arent that high & on par with other Thai restaurants in Toronto/GTA area. Must thank the waiters there for being patient to explain the dishes and customizing it (sorry forgot to ask name of the waiter, he served us on Jan 2, 2023 around 8.00PM, is so kind and friendly, Thanks to him), we only had trouble finding the restaurant as Google maps showed a wall written as Spice Thai which is back side of this place.

Amazing, authentic food every single time. I believe the owner is from Thailand, and it shows. Quaint, quiet, romantic atmosphere. Definitely a great place to go for birthdays, anniversaries, dates, etc. Ive been many times over the years, usually stuck to the Bangkok Pad Thai as a staple, but began venturing out to other plates. And trust me, try the Koh Soi (?) dish. Its huge, its very coconuty (more so than the dish called Coconut Noodles oddly), and has a nice kick without being too much. It is now my staple dish. Its dumb how good it is! Other people in my party would taste a bite and be jealous, lol. Not to say theirs wasnt good, just different! Highly suggest trying a new dish each time you go and discovering your staples! It wont disappoint. Prices are absolutely fair too (around $15-20/dish).

The worst Thai house rice I have ever had! Ordered the spicy Thai rice. No salt no flavour at all and it s so spicy that we couldn t even eat had to throw the entire rice, we could see million pieces of green chilies just cut and added! Worst $20 spent on Thai food!

I got the tofu/veggie pad Thai and honestly it was horrible. There was no sauce and the tofu was burnt and in general the taste was awful. My partner got the chicken pad Thai and it was ok at best

Authentic Thai food. Phenomenal flavor to everything they make. The food is very good, probably the best Thai in the Niagara/Welland/st. Catherines region. Highly recommend getting medium spice at the very least for that needed Thai kick. Would order again if I happen to be nearby.

My partner and I were visiting from out of town and wanted to try this place because it had high reviews. The decor was nice, service was okay. We waited at the sign that said Please wait to be seated.. and we waited... finally one of the four or five servers behind the desk finally noticed us and sat us at a table. Our server was nice but had to call her over a couple times because she only checked on us once during our whole dinner. The food looked good but the taste was mediocre and tasted very bland. Our panang curry came out cold and was not spicy at all. We also ordered the fish dish which was overly sweet and not spicy at all either. I found this weird because curry is supposed to be spicy and the fish dish has spicy in the description. This restaurant definitely caters to Western people as the dishes we ordered did not taste authentic at all. Really disappointed with the food. If youre looking for real authentic Thai food, I would suggest looking elsewhere. On the bright side, the Panang curry did have crushed peanuts in it, which was the highlight of the dinner.

Sorry but the food was terrible. WAY TOO SWEET. PLEASE, stop adding sugar/sweetener to your food. There was very little flavour and everything just had bunch of sugar. As someone who doesn t add sugar to anything, it was overload. I didn t enjoy it. The Pad thai was ok and the dumplings were ok. The seafood medley and green curry was lacking flavour and just too sweet. The mango salad had chicken, even though i didn t ask for chicken, just a plain mango salad. The chicken that was added to the mango salad, the pad thai and the green curry was so bland. No spices or flavour, just plain boiled white chicken breast pieces.

I thought Pai had the best Khao Soi and this place took my number one! Can t wait to go back and try everything. Service was friendly and quick we did take out because they were closing but waited less than 10 min for 2 entrees and apps. Portions are large so pricing is relative. No complaints at all and was so happy to have leftovers next day. My mouth is watering as I type this so I m making plans to go back this week will update when I do.

We visited during our tour in Ontario. We were staying in Niagara Falls, and we went on a trip to visit a vineyard and to escape from the hectic ambience in Niagara Falls. We found this lovely spot in St. Catharines. We ordered among Spicy Thai Specialties two Lemon Chicken and two Crying Tiger beef, to share 50/50 among the four of us. Tasty and lovely food. It was a pity the portions were so large that we were filled up and we could not try the desserts ;-)

Ordered 2 orders of crab Rangoons and they said 30 mins .. went at 20 mins and they were cold .. called to complain they told me to bring em back and they will give me 2 new orders. Went back gave them my crab Rangoons and they were back out with new ones in minutes. Turns out they put my old ones back in the fryer. They were burnt. I said something about them re-frying them and she said I dont know. If they didnt re-fry them they would of said oh no we dont do that here. Disgusting will never order from here again or recommend.

Been here quite a few times,mostly for takeout. Ate in house only a few times. Pad thai is ok... very sweet sauce. Not the best or worst I have had. Drunken noodles are delicious.. Soft shelled crab is always a hit. Unfortunately, this nice restaurant is situated in one of the worst areas in the city, the black hole of Queeston Street. Barely any parking... be warned!! DO NOT park your car opposite in parking lot remnants of the old bingo hall, extremely sketchy area. Even the convenience store beside restaurant constantly has crackheads and vagrants surrounding lot and near entrance to here. Last few times I ordered takeout here I was approached trying just to get back to my vehicle. The location has been my decision making point on not returning for a while... Even eating in house, im constantly wondering if my vehicle is getting broken into (and this happens very often in this area)

After running some out of town errands, my cousin (who has celiac disease) and I were looking for a bite to eat before heading home. We made a quick google search and found Spicy Thai, and I m so thankful for that! As someone who considers myself a foodie, believe me when I say that the food here is amazing! Not only was the food really good, my cousin who has a hard time finding good, fresh food that s safe for her to eat was able to go wild on the menu here

We were pretty hungry and waited for this place to open on our way back from Niagara. Saw the red door in a photo and the extremely high ratings including that this is the best Thai place. ordered a variety of dishes and spent over $100. This was easier to do than would have liked as the prices were on the higher side. However we tried it out and were craving thai. Had trouble finding parking. Wanted to love it and excited we found a place to grab food on route but each dish we tried did not taste as good as it looked, almost bland. Maybe this was just our experience but would not go back. This place has stopped me from picking a restaurant based on reviews.

Going back tonight Vegetarian options: Allmost all the food is able to be made withoit meat or with tofu the only dishes that dont have the option to be made vegetarian are dishes made out of mostly meat Dietary restrictions: A lot of the food is made with coconut milk so lactose intolerant people can eat here

We got Spicy Thai for take out and it was fabulous. The food is so fresh and the flavour is perfect. We crave it again just a week later! They did not skimp out on the chicken and shrimp in our dishes. Despite being quite busy in the restaurant when I picked up my order, the staff were super friendly and made sure I was taken care of. The only downside is that take out is pickup only! But I still wouldnt change that 5 star rating because it is worth the drive. Thanks for a great meal Spicy Thai!
