One of the few places in town I can get Pad See Ew. The atmosphere and decor is pretty bare, but good food and nice folks.
Dining in today—not here for the ambience, but the staff are nice and it’s very clean. The BEST Thai in TBay. My regular takeout order is the red curry. Big portion and tastes awesome!
I've been twice now while in the area for my work and it has hit the spot. Wish I had found it sooner! I've dined in both times but they stay super busy answering the phones and handling the steady stream of carryout and delivery orders. Everything I've ordered has been top-notch but especially the salads. The mango salad and the ginger salad both were superbly fresh and satisfying, and brought to the table in less than five minutes of placing the order.
I loved it! It was delicious! I ordered the Cashew Stirfry and it was perfect, lots of delicious vegetables and the shrimp was so good! I have zero complaints, I had a great experience, the food is great. Big serving sizes too! Made a great dinner.
Located in what appears to be a more outdated part of town but the food is still delicious. A bit on the mild side compared to other Thai restaurants which is fine for those who don't like it spicy. Portion sizes are great with very reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend this to any visitors to Thunder Bay.
A gem in thunder bay! Burmese cuisine is difficult to find and this restaurant had such a great selection of dishes. Had the tea leaf salad and tum carrot salad, both were really delicious. Would definitely return if I pass through TB again!
I love their food! Service is very good as well. Last time I went they didn't have sausage but I totally recommend then from a previous order. I love their pad Thai
Super yummy foods! We were going to Toronto and drove by this place. We ordered all five different items on the menu and they were all so good! I would like to suggest to the white folks, get out of your comfort zone and try different menus other than “Pad Thai”. If you want to try one of these menus, you can just show them the following pictures! I’m definitely returning if I’m ever going to drive by Thunder Bay. Satisfaction level is 100% 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Great food, great service, decent dining room. Soon Simpson St will be repaved and we can dine in again.
I like love this restaurant
I generally just go for takeout. Food is good quality and very consistent.
Best Thai in the city! Since moving back to town, after much searching, this is the only place that serves basil chicken, and its delicious. I regret not being brave enough to get the medium spice option. Otherwise, the food is perfection.
Omg the pad see ew is unreal!!! My new fav meal. Also the spring rolls are amazing. Food is always still hot when it gets delivered. Hidden gem for sure!
The pork belly is amazing and the tom yum soup always
Unbelievable food. My go-to spot for Thai.
Best Thai place in Thunder Bay imo. Came from Toronto and found it hard not having a decent selection of Asian food, Salween definitely delivers!
Absolutely delicious food and fabulous service. A must try if you re in Thunder Bay. It was a five out of five for my family!
Parking: Lots of parking
Amazing food! They were really awesome labelling Gluten Free and Not GF which is hard to find in Thunder Bay. Great food and great service! Dietary restrictions: Good on Gluten Free options.
The food was delicious and there were three dishes and spring rolls ordered! We will be ordering from there again! Absolutely delicious and the portions were great! Food
Very good
Ill be getting the tum yum again.
Have only really ordered takeout specifically their pad thai but I have to say its the best in town and occasionally Ill get a batch that wont taste as good but overall I highly recommend their pad thai! Only downside is its not in the best area or the nicest restaurant but their pad thai is divine lol
Great food and ambiance. The only thing that prevented the 5 star is the amount of meat in their recipes. The best restaurant in TBay until they prove otherwise.
The food was awesome, the service was very friendly however the space was a little dated but everything else made up for that. Vegetarian options: Always options
Have taken take outs from here and the PAD Thai chicken is amazing guys, I m a fan
We had a bit of an order mix up which the staff happily and quickly resolved, and also resulted in the chance to taste their Krapow Moo Krob w/ Egg and it was delicious. We also had the green and yellow curries, which were equally as delicious. Great customer service, fresh veggies, vibrant flavours, and a wait time that was 2 & 1/2 hours quicker than Thai Kitchen
I ordered Padthai and spring rolls here. Padthai looks like a picture. The noodles were mushy and soggy, I can t eat at all. Very disappointed.
Ok this place is literally a saviour!! Everything they make is amazing, the Pad see ew, the Tom yum soup, fried rice, shrimp tempura, curry noodles. The chef is amazing and alwaysss listens to every special instruction I mention. Thank you team!
Not bad but misses the mark for Thai flavour. Spring roll was an egg roll really. Dish that was supposed to have lemongrass didnt. Tom kha gai was best but it was oddly sweet and thick so maybe used coconut cream?
Some of the best pad thai Ive ever had! They followed my special instructions perfectly. The spring rolls were also amazing, I highly recommend.
Great food , fast service.
We ordered a dinner for two on skipthedishes the food arrived pipping hot and was extremely delicious. Would highly recommend
Best Thai in Thunder Bay!
The mango salad and yellow/red curry are my go to, ride or die!
Delicious food, friendly staff and generous portions. I recommend it to anyone who visits Thunder Bay! Favourite dishes include #24 and #41, extra hot of course!
The food is always wonderful and the staff is amazing. Q
Excellent food
Delicious food, big portions. Perfect place to visit if youre hungry.
Looks like a hole in the wall in what feels like a sketchy area of town as you are driving through, but the food was well worth the stop! Fresh, clean, excellent spices! We ate in (quite casual) and there was a lot of take out activity going on.
As someone who loves asian cuisine, is a chef and have eaten in most major and small cities in Canada, this was a pleasant surprise. Everything had lots of flavour and tasted delicious. As Im only passing through Im saddened I wont get to try more of the menu. Id recommend this place to both locals and not. Id also recommend actually going into the restaurant as the food quality is not the same for delivery especially with fried noodle and vegetable dishes. Portion size was large per dish which is perfect for sharing so you can order more dishes.
I love this restaurant It s so good I love #20 #33 #6 #35 they are so good! Best Thai food I ve ever had Keep up the good work
I asked Salween Restaurant to cater for a work meeting I was chairing at the hospital. They did a fantastic job! Food was well packaged and they delivered complimentarily! It was also reasonably priced unlike other restaurants I had approached for this event. The attendees loved the food. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thanks Prezena and your team!
Unfortunately our experience wasn t great with this restaurant. We ordered through skip the dishes, and they were great to refund us the portion that was mistaken- our basil beef came as basil chicken, spicy when it was ordered mild and our cashew chicken dish was missing altogether. My fiancé found a bone in his pad Thai... (really glad it was him and not our toddler who was eating some of the noodles) also the flavour just wasn t all that great, watery green curry. The basil chicken that was wrong wasn t what I expected either it didn t have a taste of basil at all. I wish I had better things to say but unfortunately this was a major miss for us for lots of reasons and all I seemed to find was amazing reviews so I was surprised. I d order from Thai kitchen next time.
Amazing delicious food. Staff were awesome too. Best takeout in a long time. Highly recommend.
The food is always amazing
Loved it ! Never tried bamboo until the yellow curry stir fry .. was so good ! Deff a new favorite. Also feel so good and healthy after eating it .
Yummy!
i love it. very different taste but very delicious.
Great food, kinda dark... they never have their lights on when you pickup the food
I enjoyed their tasty fried rice and samosa. I will definately be ordering again
I ordered the pad thai (shrimp&chicken - my fav) and vegetable spring rolls. I was not disappointed. Spring rolls were perfect! Very generous and not over fried. The pad thai looked like it might be bland from the colour, but was pretty flavourful. Almost perfect... I added one teaspoon of kikkoman soy sauce and squeezed one lemon wedge and one lime wedge on and it was absolutely perfect just to my tastes. Two thumbs up
The mango salad was amazing the rest was alright. Would definitely eat again
Never disappointed. Always unreal.
Awesome food
basil rice sooo yummy and pepper beef ooooou
Best Pad Thai. Never disappointed. Greatest peanut sauce.
I called 6 different places for chicken soup, but as Im allergic to egg, I dont get much option. Most of the places were either sold out or hung up saying they couldnt accommodate. So shout out to @Salween Restaurant at Simpson st for accommodating and making the chicken soup without egg. I was feeling under the weather but the soup made me feel better! Thanks to the amazing lady who made efforts to check the ingredients, suggest an alternative and took my order- everything over phonecall!!
Really good food, for me the best thai in town
Mango salad.
Great food. Had the sweet and sour chicken! Yum.
Amazing pad thai and peanut sauce, I will definitely order again
We had their super tasty sausages this week at the market. Wow... The mix of pork, noodle and sticky rice was delicious. Ill definitely be looking for them again. Thanks for treat!
The food was great as always. Busy. SKIP must have been in and out three times while I picked up my order.
Delicious Thai food. I wish was more spicy.
Surprisingly good!
Amazing food, ready very quickly. Good price, friendly service. They cater to vegetarian/vegan/gluten free etc. customers. A hidden gem in Thunder Bay! Cant recommend enough.
Have been a number of times now and the staff is always very polite and the food very good. Love that they have gluten free items on the menu. Would definitely recommend
I am so happy the service and food from The Salween. It s very clean inside. And staff is always friendly and gracious for your business. The portion sizes are very generous and the prices are completely reasonable. I highly recommend!
One of the best places in town! Pad Tai number 23 and 27 are the best! Soup number 20 is just so gooood, too! Big thumps up!
best pad thai in thunder bay
Really good food but too pricey!
Maybe the most bland Pad Thai I have had. Definitely the most disgusting bathroom I have ever seen. Will never try again.
Ordered to go. Had the stir fry. It was tasty - ready to order again on the next trip. Tip for visitors staying at airport hotels: from the bus stops on Arthur street, #4 bus takes you right to Salween ($2.75).
