The food was really good and they have a good price for the lunch specials. I got the chop Suey and rice for only $12.95! I also got the tea for $3 and it comes in a teapot and is more than just a cup. It's a good restaurant with good food!

Amazing! The people, the service, the atmosphere…a true gem in this town. When the owner heard I ordered a spicy Caesar drink, she added slices of her freshly grown peppers for an added kick. Wow! We ordered the wontons, Firecracker shrimp, and I had the Everything Bun Thit Nuong. It was a perfect balance of light noodles, perfectly sated meats, and fresh lettuce and vegetables. The spring roll cuts were just a crazy add on. Everyone loved their meals! I will definitely be bringing my family here for our next celebration!

Nice outside and warming interior, good number of choices on the menu. Traveling through Thunder Bay just happened to try Coco Bay but would return. The food was really flavourful and filling, got the ramen and would go back for it, highly recommend. The service was friendly and easy to talk to. (also tried the pork pad Thai and would also recommend) They also serve a selection of craft beer

I am down visiting my mom and uncle from the Toronto area. My mom recommended Coco Bay. From the minute we walked in we were pleasantly greeted by a server at the front and brought to our seats. We were than introduced to Julie. She gave us great advice with the menu and was very friendly. When the food arrived the presentation was great and the taste was even better. We all loved our meals. Julie heard I was visiting and offered to take a photo of us. We finished off with a mango 🥭 ice cream for desert. This was one of the best experiences I have had in a restaurant in a long time. I would recommend Coco Bay to anyone looking for a great restaurant with an amazing food and even better service this is the place.

Ordered take out. Recieved no plumb sauce for the egg rolls. Recieved no soya sauce. Food was all right, definitely have had better. From the rave reviews, I was disappointed.

★★
October 23, 2024

Serving quantity is big but the taste and quality is not so good. Pho is okay but not enough vegetable toppings like bean sprouts. I ordered their lunch special that says sweet and sour shrimp but I was served breaded shrimp instead and it s so thick I can hardly taste the shrimp. If you come here make sure you know what you are getting. Their menu is pricey too, lunch specials are $12+ but the regular meal costs around $25. Will not recommend. I would have enjoyed Manchuk in the Mall more cause its way cheaper but food aside from the pho and ramen I guess are pretty much the same.

Cocobay is a fantastic Vietnamese restaurant that brings authentic flavors to life. The pho was rich and aromatic, while the banh mi had a perfect crunch with fresh ingredients.

Was really hoping to have found a good Pad Thai in Thunder Bay finally but alas it was as poorly flavoured as everywhere else and around 7 dollars more than any other place. At 25 dollars I more or less got a small amount of chicken, 2 sprigs of cilantro, a dusting of peanuts and bell peppers. The noodles were actually not mushy and were cooked perfect, they were however more or less flavorless. The staff was very nice and atmosphere was good which was redeeming and suggested more potential perhaps with other dishes. Im not saying I would never eat here again. The fact is Thunder Bay has really bad pad thai and I need to accept this. I would try something different next time happily but never the pad thai.. Please add more fish sauce and tamarind. Consider prawn paste. Where is the pungent flavour!?!?

First time trying Coco Bay and we were impressed. All the food was excellent. Until now, I could not find a place in Thunder Bay that makes a true Ramen that compares to Ramen restaurants in other cities. Coco Bay has finally changed that, from the broth, to the pork and the egg was wonderfully marinated.

I don t even know where to begin as to why I love this place. The food is incredibly tasty, the price is below what you could expect to pay for the quality and the portions are huge. They even gave us a desert and iced coffee for FREE. Who does that in 2024? We were tired when we stopped by and they instantly uplifted our mood by talking to us and asking us questions. I honestly have never had such a satisfying customer experience. I hope this business keeps flourishing and attracting more customers because they deserve to thrive. If you are crossing Canada, this is a MUST.

We went there to try their pho and ramen; first of all, the place is not giant but not small, with good music and illuminated. Secondly, the service was outstanding, always looking out for us and having a great time; finally, the food was aromatic, full of flavours and significant portions; it is a good option in Thunder Bay, and I genuinely recommend trying the ramen and their bowls Kid-friendliness: They have kids chairs and plane food for our children in their first years

Ramen was top shelf. The pork and the egg each had their own unique and flavourful taste while sitting in an excellent soup. Noodle were exactly what you want. Only take back was the atmosphere. Nothing appears changed from the previous restaurant that was there. It wasnt bad, everything was very clean so bravo, but doesnt really have a noodle house feel. 100% added to my list of Thunder Bay restaurants to return to.

A friend and I attended this restaurant today and ordered some food. I ordered pho and egg rolls and my friend ordered a vermicelli with a wonton soup. New people got there after we did and were served before us. After 45 minutes we received our appetizers and after waiting another half hour our main dish had not been received. We are natives who work in union construction and believe we were discriminated against. She was more worried about us running on the bill than she was about getting our food. I am and will be pursuing this under consumer law and yes welcome to
