Still great flavors and kind staff, but recent changes to the portions (shrinkflation) while maintaining higher prices make the experience less satisfying. We'll be looking elsewhere going forward. read more

Ordered chicken red curry with but there was less than approximately 1/4 chicken breast in it. It was tasty but pretty much vegetarian. They don't get the grease to a high enough temperature so the spring rolls were super oil laden. I had to squeeze out the grease or it would pour out while being eaten. Not good food today. Expensive and disappointing. Yikes read more

I used to love my experiences at Baan Thai. I probably have eaten there 100 or more times in 20 (? or more) years. Matthew has run a great restaurant in the past and whenever something did go wrong, he made good on it right away. Ambiance has stayed consistently great, although turnover of staff and kitchen crew seem more like a revolving door these days. Since covid, the food feels cheaper, mistakes are much more common in terms of ordering, quality and pick ups as well. After about a dozen disappointing experiences, almost all in a row, I have sadly resolved to no longer visit what used to be our favourite "go-to" place. The new more expensive menu prices unfortunately do not reflect improved quality. I don't know how many stars to give. I like to be a positive person, so for the benefit of the doubt, I will give three. read more

Baan thai is a great authentic Thai restaurant. If you take the time to ask, they employ lots of thai immigrants. It is great food. The panang curry is my personal favorite. It makes for some scrumptious leftovers. Great people here. Take out can be crazy, so it's important to keep that in mind here and to be patient. I would definitely come again for this great food read more

tasty place for thai food and good portion sizes! loved the thai tea as well read more

Baan Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Oak Bay, British Columbia

Some friends took us here a couple of months ago. It's become our go to place for lunch or dinner with friends or just the two of us. Super healthy choices with vegetarian, seafood or meat choices. Wonderful and helpful staff that I noticed are treated with great respect by the owners. A real plus to have happy and content serving staff. Every new person I've gone here with has been super satisfied. Give it a try! This is on the corner of Fort and Foul Bay. I haven't tried the other two In town. read more

Chelsey and Paige were fantastic: I very much appreciated the work and service that they provided for me. read more

Excellent thai food, my go-to in town. I have eaten from here over the years and though it has evolved, the food is still always delicious (that green curry!). I appreciate the little things like recently how they transported my take out order: They purposely left the box top open so that my spring rolls stayed extra crispy! Thoughtful and effective. Thank-you BT! read more

Great price, great portions, great location! My boyfriend and I were visiting Victoria and this place was on a restaurant recommendation list our Airbnb host left for us. We ate here on a Friday night, no wait! We were greeted immediately. Staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was wonderful. We got our food mild and it was delicious. We will definitely come back the next time we visit. read more

Baan Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Oak Bay, British Columbia

This is probably Top 2 Thai restaurant from my point of view! The taste is good and the servers are very friendly. The atmosphere is good as well. And one thing I want to highlight is that the price is lower comparing to other Thai restaurant! No.19 and No. 26 are my favorite! read more

We arrived the restaurant by 5:30, placed our order by 5:45, and ordered nothing special but papaya salad, curry, and staff picked noodle soup. Waited an hour. All other tables after us got their food, we kept waiting and waiting and didn't even get our papaya salad which doesn't even need to cook!!! We asked friendly whether the waitress missed our order since it's been an hour. She said "of course not" and said it was very busy in the kitchen and we should "check the kitchen." We understand it was rush hour and kitchen has been busy, but the response from the waitress was very disrespectful. If you don't want to sit here and wait until you arenhypoglycemic, do not come!!! The Baan Thai in dt is way better than here. We left angrily without eating anything...will never come to this place again. read more

Tasty Thai food with great service and a nice environment! Good place to dine-in for your traditional phad thai or a stir-fry style dish if you're feeling like something healthier. Great price point as well, especially when you go during their lunch-time special hours! Food always comes out fast, hot, and fresh. Can't ask for any more! (well actually, I would gladly ask for more hehe!) read more

We literally stumbled into this restaurant as we came from Vancouver as a side trip and not being familiar with the area we just tried our luck with this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We noticed that the albeit small restaurant was half full with a number of take-outs ready for pickup which were good signs. Service was quick and attentive for our party of seven including one 3 year old. To keep things easy for some of the people in our group who don't eat spicy we went with the minimum spice level. And generally the flavor gets lost when you do that but we liked every dish served up tonight. We ordered the papaya salad, chicken coconut milk soup, pad Thai, pad see ew, green curry, red curry, eggplant and tofu and rice. Every dish was on point and delicious and we eat Thai quite frequently. Would like this restaurant to be in our neighborhood...in Los Angeles that is. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

banging thai! Food is always good for both take out and dine in! there is a great selection of authentic dishes. Servers are so friendly and always going the extra mile. Love the small thai restaurant vibes. I recommend the drunken fried rice, veggy spring rolls and the Tom kah soup ! read more

This if definitely the best Thai food I've had in victoria. The staff is really friendly and the food is awesome. However they have a very small selection of lighter cold foods (one salad so if you are looking for that go somewhere else) but their noddle dishes and citrus soups really make up for it and I would recommend it to anyone who's local. read more

Baan Thai Restaurant - Awesome Thai iced tea!! - Thai Near Me - Oak Bay, British Columbia

The food is good. The one thing about this location is that time and time again they ignore the phone. I called twice tonight and got an answering machine, so I drove over and placed my order in the restaurant. The restaurant was not full so I was confused as to why they didn't answer the call. As the server was taking my order their phone was ringing and she ignored it. I then sat and waited for my order, servers continued to ignore the phone. I looked around to see how many servers were on and counted about 4 or 5. Please fix this issue. Why not have a hostess seating and taking take out orders on busy nights? This issue has been going on for years, I just want to be able to order over the phone as the downtown location seems to be able to do this. read more

Waited half an hour for 4 spring rolls that cost $8 but atleast the spring rolls were good. Always order in advance because the waiting is too long for a simple thing. The service is not out standing since after waiting the two girls standing around just handed us the spring roll and said thanks, no "sorry for taking so long". nothing. Won't go back again. read more

Fell in love with this restaurant's downtown location early on after they opened. I was excited when this location opened up, as it is closer to my house, but over the years, the quality has slipped. It's hard to put my finger on, but maybe it is the quality of the ingredients/spices? I hope they bring back the awesome! read more

Enjoyable dinner. Good food and service. Three different meals. Each prepared well, and served hot. I was more impressed than I expected to be. read more

The ambience is not bad. The service was good. The food was very salty. The Tom Kah Gai (a lime lemongrass tangy soup with chicken) was not bad. The battered squid is so so...the dipping hot sauce is nice. Everything else was over salted...some strange salty ground beef or pork dish that came by itself (maybe with lettuce as a wrap would balance the extreme salt). Green curry was ok. Fried noodles too salty and the vegetables (gai lan) in that dish was not blanched through (this might be a one off). The deep fried banana with ice cream was probably the highlight. Pricing with tip n tax would be approximately $20-$25. I had over 8 glasses of water from dinner and hours after. But the restaurant got really busy after 6 on a Friday. read more

Oak Bay location. Good food, but don't try to get takeout, they will put you on hold and never pick up again. Every time I try to order food at this location I never end up getting it. read more

Our go to place for vegetarian take out. Food is consistently tasty and well prepared. Veggies taste fresh and tofu is cooked well. Love the ginger flavour of Phad King, and the eggplant dish, Macua Phad Tofu. Sometimes their mild is closer to medium. Best cooks seem to work on Friday and Saturdays. Been going there for several years. read more

As tourists we stumbled upon this tasty Thai restaurant and it was a delightful surprise. The service was exceptionally friendly and warm. The portions generous and well seasoned with authentic Thai flavors. Probably the best Tom Kha soup I've had and the Vegetable stir fry with Their delicious peanut sauce was perfectly cooked and loaded with variety. This will be the Thai food I compare others to and come back to! I hear they have three locations. read more

Food is good. Typical thai food. When we first come and visit 2 months ago..the service was good and accomodating. 2nd time today as we are catching up before they close..the server instructed me to go out the restaurant and have my order outside were there is a seperate door for take out. Then told my friend that actually she can take our order inside the restaurant. Took my friend's order first then she slammed the receipt on the counter and turned her back away without even asking me if I need to order items too or not. Turned herself away and was about to order when she told me it is the last time the kitchen will take the order. (No smile at all and a flat affect) What was that all about?! I am sorry but you are rude. I know you are tired but please you are making a bad impression of the services. Understandably you guys are close at 9pm so we can still order if it is 15 mins before closing? No? I am sorry if we are deaperately hungry and late to order. My apologies will come next time early but we are hoping you will accomodate us next time. I commend those people working in the kitchen and for other workers who work so hard to earn a living and to offer great service and hospitality. However to the server who have a tattoo on her back...please kindly treat your customer fairly..I know you had a long tiring day but please stay kind and smile. Don't get too rude with your customers. Treat us nice and will come back for sure. Thank you and have a nice day. Hope you are well rested today. read more

The Baan Thai Restaurant is definitely a must! The portions are quite large, but very very delicious. We were greeted, and checked for temperature as we walked in. The servers were friendly and welcoming! They were so nice! The food is absolutely fantastic! They are served fresh, hot, and quite fast. They also gave us a heads up about the chicken wings as they take longer to make than most of the appetizers, which I thought was very helpful. Overall a great place to eat. Recommended!! read more

Not a fan of this place. I ordered the chicken pad thai and also a vegetable dish. Both were very oily and salty. The food was much heavier than Thai food usually is in my experience. It tasted like they are adding extra oil, salt, and sugar to make up for lack of fresh flavour. My friend's spring rolls were decent, but those are meant to be oily. Also, it seemed like there was tension between the people working there. Overall not the best atmosphere and I have had much better Thai food at other restaurants. Avoid read more

Pretty damn authentic for Canada! Penang and Larb are my favs, but really it's all good. It gets pretty slammed on the weekends so if you are taking out an order, be there a little later than they estimate read more

I work close by and order often. Gets a little pricey at times but totally worth it as a treat. Eggplant tofu dish is my go to and spring rolls are to die for. read more

Best Thai food we have found so far in Victoria. Was here a few years ago and it is just as good if not better. Food is fresh and tasty and service is great and friendly. read more

Really good tai food. The little problem is they are really slow if they have to go order. Waited about 25mins until my appetizer came. It is very tasty. read more

Fantastic! Food was just perfect. Their coconut milk citrous mushroom soup is to die for! Friendly service, good prices, good ambience, clean...nothing to complain about. 5 stars! read more

Declisions take out and delivery service. Can't go wrong ordering from here. A few times i have asked them for a recommendation and been open minded - both times i really enjoyed their recommendation. They do all the standard thai food very well - phad thai, spring rolls, panang curry, green curry and the delivery is quick! read more

Just as great as the downtown location, and closer to my house - the best of both worlds :) I love the food at both locations, have the golden cup, you will love it - and my favourite Phad Thai I've ever had! read more

Husband and I had lunch with our little ones. Luckily the baby is still on milk and the three year old ate only boiled rice. 15min after we left this place we had to race home, luckily we have several washrooms. Not sure what it was that triggered it. Might have been the chicken satay. We also had the Pad Seeuw, Green curry and a pad Thai. We will not return here. (We are very much used to Thai food exotic dishes etc) read more

Everything we had was good. Order the papaya salad at "hot" spicy level, it tastes better. The pork appetizer was delicious. When they mean spicy they mean spicy. If your looking for a hot sauce that is liquid fire come here, amazing flavor read more

Ordered take out while on vacay here. Got #21 tofu pad khing (nothing special at all and wouldn't order again), #23 Pham Seeuw with chicken (decent), #16 Kow Phad (fried rice was "sticky" and they said they could make it a pineapple fried rice but it seemed they just added canned pineapple and charged extra $2) and #10 green curry was just ok. I guess I'm used to way better Thai food from States. I was a bit disappointed. read more

I haven't eaten much at other Thai places in town, so it might be unfair for me to claim that this is the best Thai food in Victoria. At the same time, I haven't sampled other places so much precisely because Baan Thai never fails to please. Everything I've tried off of their seemingly endless menu has been great. If you want a tasty, filling meal and friendly service to boot, Baan Thai is a good choice. read more
