I was invited to try this restaurant while visiting the town. It didn't disappoint me at all. The decoration and vibe of this restaurant were very authentic and cozy. There are a lot of options on the menu. We ended up ordering mango salad, pad thai, curry, and pineapple fried rice. The mango salad was recommended, and it was good and refreshing. I found the curry was a little overseasoned, but it came well with the rice. Once I ate it, I could taste a great combination of curry flavor, spiciness, and the soup's creaminess. The customer service was very attentive and friendly read more

I got pad Thai takeout. It was ready in 10 minutes and very fresh. The dining area is spacious and the staff were very welcoming.

This restaurant was recommended to me and I decided to have takeout. Ordered the chicken fried rice and it had a great flavor that was different from traditional fried rice. Would highly recommend. The host was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and organized. read more

Was very disappointed with the food as other reviews mentioned authentic! There was a stale oil taste to both dishes(mine a vegetarian curry and kid's leftover pad see ew) - wonder if they are cooking with oil used for frying! Ambiance is nice with carved wood decor. Service was very good. Food was prepared fast! read more

Lots of tasty options, with good portions and beautiful decor Definitely my go to Thai restaurant read more

Food was excellent especially the Penang chicken, basil fried rice, mango salad and fresh spring rolls. Unfortunately the size of the takeout dishes were not very large compared to the price for each portion. Wish I had more leftovers for the next day. Still my favourite Tai restaurant in Burlington. read more

Owned by real Thai folks. Has to be my favourite Thai food restaurants in Canada, and they are actually from Thailand. They are probably the most authentic Thai food place I know of in the area. Prices are a bit high, but the food and the service is consistently great. We go there quite often, never had a bad meal yet. The favourite for our family is the cashew chicken, the eggplant, vegetable curry, the pad Thai and the tamarind fish. read more

Love this place! It's fast, friendly and the food is fantastic! We usually order take out but the table service looks to be popular as well.

Food delicious, quick efficient service for take out. Good portion. Nice ambiance for diners and waiting clients. Quaint and lovely traditional decor. read more

We stopped in for a weekday dinner. There seemed to be a bit of a language barrier when we were ordering. Our server struggled with English. We asked about one dish, then ordered another, and in the end, we were served an entirely different dish that we hadn't ordered. Still, they were not far off --- we ordered vegetables with shrimp and were served shrimp with vegetables over noodles instead --- so we didn't say anything. We were also served a bowl of plain rice that we didn't order. Overall, our dinner wasn't bad (I've had better; I've had worse), although parts were over-salted, and in the end it certainly didn't seem worth the more-than-$80 bill for the two of us. Pros: the spring rolls were delish Cons: paying too much for a so-so meal read more

Bahn Thai Restaurant - Vegetables with shrimp over noodles (not what we ordered but it was okay) - Thai Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

I came to Bahn Thai for lunch takeout. Read some pretty good feedback so decided to try it. The lunch specials are $13 on average and comes with a spring roll and hot and sour soup. I ordered the red beef curry with white jasmine rice. The spring roll was tiny but quite tasty. Hot and sour soup however was pretty bland. It tasted like watered down vinegar soup. The beef curry I didn't like the fact that since it's a take out they put the rice into the beef curry. By the time I got home my rice was soggy since it soaked up all the curry. They're was barely any sauce left. The portion of the curry is very little so I can see why they put the rice into the curry to make the portion bigger. When you take out the rice there's barely any curry. The curry itself didn't taste bad that's why I gave them a 3 star. Not impressed for the price. Probably won't come back. read more

Bahn Thai has been a consistently delicious option for many years. The service is friendly and attentive and we are so glad to be back in person post-pandemic. read more

Great food, great service, great ambience. We've been to Thailand and this is definitely authentic food!

Lots of tasty food options, that accommodate for most types of diets. Service is quite great and fast, and the experience was great. Not too loud and not too quiet. Music was rather relaxing and you could very well have a conversation without having to yell. read more

I can't be entirely sure but I think this might just be one of my (if not THE) first review(s) I've written in Burlington (the other B-town). Bahn Thai I believe is part of a larger chain of restaurants baring the same name, but from what I could tell about the place, it didn't have a cookie cutter look or feel, in fact I would go as far as to say this place was down right authentic; from the staff, decor, music and just overall vibe. We were meeting here on Sunday for a family birthday celebration, and upon initial arrival we weren't sure if they were open as the Open sign out-front was off and there was no other signs of life that this place was even open. The hours said they were open so we walked up and tried the door and presto - open! Hooray! Walking in the restaurant was fairly empty, with our party of 10-12 being the main customers there for quite some time. As I mentioned, the decor and vibe of this place was very authentic, statues and pictures of Buddah and highly decorative golden elephants filled the space with simplistic fixtures, furnitures and decor accents filling in the rest of the gaps here. Being one of 2-3 groups here, the two staff on hand were incredibly efficient and took great care of our large group from beginning to end, they even found time to roll out some happy birthday songs and some dessert when the time came in out groups service. The real winner here was the food, others have given them a more average mark in this category, but from my vast Thai experience, I'd say everyones meals were very well done, maybe not the very best I've had, but definitely among some of the better Thai meals I've had. My go to when not having Pad Thai is always Cashew Chicken made extra spicy. These guys totally delivered on flavour, freshness of ingredients and spice for this dish and my plans to only eat half my order quickly went down the tubes - it just tasted so damn good! Burlington isn't exactly a close trip for Thai, but knowing this place is here is great for whenever I'm in town in future and/or passing by Burlington and in need of some eats. For locals, I'd tell you that you're definitely lucky to have a good thai spot in town! I approve. Eatcrest out read more

We go to Bahn Thai maybe once every few months. This place has been around for a while and they can get pretty busy at times. The decor is pretty nice and it makes for an upscale feel sort of. The furniture is not your typical restaurant furniture at all. The chairs and tables make you feel like you're at a dining room table but everything matches. Upon being seated you are pretty much immediately given water and upon ordering you will receive a small spring roll and a bowl of hot and sour type soup. The soup has mushrooms and sprouts and is tasty. The lunch menu is pretty much in line with single serving type dishes. We've never ordered plates that were intended on sharing because everything is pretty much a single plate order. I've had the cashew chicken before as well as other meat dishes with rice different ways. Most of the time I will get the chicken pad thai because it is a tasty dish. The only knock I have on them is that their portion sizes could be larger. I am not usually full after I have one of their plates but overall their food is pretty good at a decent price. read more

The decor was authentic and quaint. The server was super sweet and nice. So cute! We had the Golden bowl appetizer, crispy and simple. Then we had the Spicy Vegetable Soup, great broth and the veggies were okay. I had the Thai shrimp curry, which was a delicious green curry. Simply, sweet, with a kick. Boyfriend had the Forest Chicken Curry which had great flavour and heat! We enjoyed the meal, definitely will come back. read more

Bahn Thai definitely does not survive off of Yelp reviews. Coming at 12PM to pick up my lunch and people were running in (and it was obviously very cold). Tables were already half full and I walked in with 5 other people (some wanting to eat in, others ordering out). My order took less than the estimated time (10 minutes) I was there within 8. There is definitely a lot of quantity for your money. Yet, the quality isn't great. The hot & sour soup was tasty and filled with your usual ingredients of bamboo shoots, tofu, and fungus. This was a huge plus. The spring roll was actually amazing. It was still crispy after being in it's little baggy for approximately 15 minutes. Yum. Veggies and noodles with great sauce :) However, the main event - my chicken pad thai was a disappointment. The noodles were all stuck together and very hard to pull apart. There was very minimal sauce and it had an odd aftertaste. There was also very little chicken. But there were tofu, bean sprouts, and peanuts. I'd be back to try their other items on the menu but a huge pass on their pad thai from now on. read more

Delicious food, and reasonable prices. This is one of our family favorites. Service is always welcoming and prompt. It's not a fancy restaurant, and it's not supposed to be. Highly recommend. read more

We wanted to support a local restaurant during this difficult time, but we were very disappointed by our experience here after not eating out for so long. The food is not great (not fresh, overly sweet & spicy but otherwise flavourless). The service is unfortunately worse than the food m. We were the only table, but still couldn't get any service! We asked for napkins and cutlery 6 times (so we essentially didn't have cutlery through the meal). We will not be eating here again. read more

A family favourite for decades. Curries are delicious and pad thai is top notch. The staff are exceptIonal.

The best Thai restaurant in Burlington. Everything I've had on the menu has been great. If you order something extra spicy it comes that way! You can't beat the pricing of the lunch specials! My favourite dish would be Basil Chicken. read more

We have come here a number of times over many years and find the food consistently excellent, one of the best in the Hamilton-Burlington area. The Cashew Chicken dish is outstanding, with chunks of orange in it, not just orange juice. The Pad Thai is also one of the best. Our only criticism today would be the service. The restaurant was unusually full for a Sunday noon and there were only 2 servers. The young lady who served us was very pleasant but very busy. That is probably why she forgot to give us serviettes and it took some waving to get her attention. That's not that big a deal and we will definitely return. read more

Not bad. I had the green curry with shrimp and rice lunch special. The hot and sour soup was, yes sour, but not really rich in any other flavours. The spring roll was stuffed with veggies, which was good, but it tasted kind of bland as well. The curry had a lot of coconut milk, so it was a creamy and smooth curry. It went well with the rice and shrimp. The only issue is that there wasn't enough shrimp or vegetables. It's a good place for a more homestyle Thai food I think. read more

This is the best Thai restaurant in Burlington. The food is fresh, and fast, and tasty. The lunch special is a great value for a number of dishes - soup, a spring roll and a main course. Their only failure - they don't deliver. read more

I LOVE their Pad Thai. I always order it and I am a picky eater and they always remove the things I don't want. The staff is always nice and friendly too! read more

Nothing too special, if you are in the area and looking for good Thai, this is the best place.

Who knew you could get great tasting, affordable Thai food in the Suburbs?! Well apparently my girlfriend did. On Friday we ordered take out from here for her family and I. Cashew Chicken, Sesame Beef, Chicken Fried Rice and some fantastic Pad Thai. All of this for under 75 dollars and ready in under 25 minutes; now I know most of the restaurants in the suburbs fail in comparison to those downtown but this one really does make its case. The staff are extremely polite and provide a lovely environment in the restaurant even if you're only going for take out. So if you live in Burlington or are just passing through and needing a bite to eat check this place out! read more

Bahn Thai was great! I entered thinking no one would be inside because there weren't any windows but it was 3/4 filled. The interior design was rustic and gave it a really authentic feeling. Personally, I did feel like it was a bit too dark. We ordered take-out and it was a quick 10 min wait time for 3 dishes. We ordered the Spicy Mixed Seafood, Garlic Beef, and Spicy Noodle with Shrimp. The Spicy Mixed Seafood wasn't spicy at all but a lot more sweet. I feel like there was too much coconut milk but the flavour was really rich and reminded me of green curry. The Garlic Beef was actually quite salty and didn't have that deep garlic taste that I was hoping for. The Spicy Noodle with Shrimp was the best out of the 3. It had very good flavour, plenty of seafood and vegetables. The noodles were packaged separately and it was done very well. Overall it was a great place to eat but I do find it to be quite expensive. The take out portions were quite small especially the beef even though they said each dish can feed up to 2 people. I definitely recommend eating in but overall I would say it was pretty authentic Thai food! read more

I came here with some colleagues for lunch today. I had the green curry lunch special, which comes with a hot and sour soup and a small spring roll. Their food is not the best Thai I've ever had (probably on par with middle of the road Thai places in Toronto), but the service is extremely fast, efficient, and friendly. Their hot and sour soup is probably the best hot and sour soup I've ever tried. It may not be the most authentic, but that's probably why I like it so much. It's not cloudy or overly fishy or overly acidic as some "authentic" hot and sour soups can be. It's more hot than sour (yay, I like the heat) and it's nice and clear with a kick of chili heat. The green curry is good, but a tad mediocre. They have a location in Oakville on Lakeshore near Trafalgar which is a tad more upscale in decor and ambiance than the Burlington location. It's also usually not as busy as the Burlington location so it's good for business lunches. read more

I'm going to preface this review by saying, 'I know this is going to sound really snooty', but this restaurant parallels the best North America / non-North American restaurants I have tried in anywhere. Sometimes restaurants like these become caricatures. They become frozen-insert-into-oven-and-eat-with-bottled-sauce type of restaurant. Not this place. None of it felt manufactured for North American tastes. The flavours were strong (in a good way), even the rice. We had very sweet staff who helped us in choosing the best combination of 3 items. Ordered the chicken green curry and dry red curry beef along with vegetable rice. The rice was so tasty that I would have been happy to eat it alone. The green curry was fresh and bright with Thai basil. The red curry had a thicker sauce (but still thinner than most cream soups). It had green beans (read arch nemesis). To say I do not eat green beans would be an understatement. Yes, as a nearly 30-year old I still pick them out of my food. Once I ate through the other vegetables in the curry I was forced to try them. My oh my. So tasty. We were so happy with our meal that we chanced to have dessert, even though we almost never do. Crispy battered banana fritters with a deep honey sauce. The batter was so good we dipped it in the extra honey. Over all this meal surprised and then exceeded all expectations. Best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. So glad to have a goody bag of leftovers. Tip: try their ginger tea. Even if you aren't in love with tea or ginger. Yeah. It's that tasty. read more

Went for lunch. The food was excellent. I had a spicy beef dish, which was perfect and a generous serving. The hot and sour soup was incredible. I loved the decor. And the service was fantastic. read more

Quite possibly the best Thai food I've ever had! We had the lunch specials which came with hot and sour soup and spring rolls. The soup was very tasty and the rolls were unbelievable. We ordered green curry with chicken, and vegetable pad thai. The flavours in the curry were distinct, rich, and delicious. The pad thai had so much more than noodles - there were plenty of vegetables etc. Absolutely amazing meal, the restaurant is clean and well decorated, and the service was friendly and attentive. A solid 5 stars across the board! read more

Great Thai place! My server seemed very cheerful, open and friendly- adding to the quality of the service. She was genuinely nice and everybody seemed so attentive. I liked the decor- it gave off a home like vibe. Had the curry and spring rolls on the side. Loved every bite of the meal. Small and simple menu selection made ordering very easy. read more

I love this place to death! They make excellent Thai food, the portions are huge, the prices are very fair and the service is extremely friendly. I am always happy to go to this restaurant, for a regular night out or for a special celebration! read more

The food is quite pricey and does not deliver the quality expected from the price. At least their food used to be fresh and somewhat tasty a few years ago but the quality has been on steady decline recently. I usually order the tarmarind chicken curry and fried rice. Did take out last week and the food reeked of stale oil. It was quite unbearable had an unpleasant smell. Also, i am not a fan of sugary tatste in my food and usually live with some sweetness in the taste of their food. My recent takeout order was quite sweet overall and i had to throw most of it out. There are other great places for thai food. I will not be going to this place ever again. read more

I'm giving this a 3 because my friend's dish was a 4 (basil beef), customer service was a 4, but my dish was a 2. I had the yellow curry. Any time I've had it at other restaurants it has come with some combination of carrot, potato, pepper, eggplant or other vegetables. The sauce was good (spicier than most yellow curries, which I liked), but it only had a couple of potato pieces and lots of undercooked yellow onion. The proportion of onion to chicken and potato was way off, meaning that all you tasted was onion. The flavor of the hot and sour soup was okay, but mine only had one piece of mushroom and my friend's had none. read more

Came here for lunch and we ordered 3 lunch specials. Prices were fair as it comes with a soup and spring roll. We got the chicken pad thai, spicy chicken, and green curry chicken. The spicy chicken was probably the best of the 3. The green curry was a bit bland and as a pad thai lover I had trouble finishing my dish. The sauce was way too sweet, similar to the flavor of the soup. The spring roll was very good and freshly fried! Portions were just enough, no leftovers. Service was prompt and friendly which got them an extra .5 stars. I don't think I'll be back. read more

I love Bahn Thai, been coming here for years. Dinner lunch in eat or take out the food is always fantastic, the people are super nice. Substitutions usually not an issue. I love their lunch deal with the best hot and sour soup anywhere and a yummy spring roll. Don't forget to ask for chili paste on the side to add ur own hot read more

Definitely not authentic. The decor inside may look Thai however the food is mediocre to say the least. Everything is sweetened to the point where all you can taste is sugar and sauce. Definitely not going back there. The food at their sister store in Oakville is just as bad. read more
