Hello fellow foodies today I bring you an outstanding review for this Thai restaurant. Today during this horrible snow storm I 1/17/2022 I was reminiscing about my travels to Thailand, how nice and warm that country was and how amazing Thai food really is!!  So I had to get me some Pad Thai today! And ladies and gents was I ever glad I stopped into this place to grab some takeout today. After reading great reviews on Freshly Thai I had to drop in and grab some of their authentic Thai cuisine .They sit in a  free standing building almost in the downtown part of Brampton just on the north side of Queen St and the Main Street crossing. They have a huge patio for summer and plenty of seating on the inside. They do dining-in and takeout but under the current COVID restrictions there are some limitations. They claim to be fully authentic, gluten friendly and vegan friendly for those that require those options. There menu is quite authentic loaded will many options, from appetizers, salads, soups, noodles, curries, and some of their specialty dishes. Food 5/5 The "Pad Thai" was just phenomenal, just absolute fire! As authentic as the Pad Thai I had in Thailand! Rice noodles were freshly made not from dried frozen stuff you typically get, I mean this dish tasted fresh made to order, not reheated. It had a slight perfect sweetness to it with a hint of pepper heat, you could taste the sweat onions the green onions, the crispy bean sprouts with hints of basil, it was seasoned to perfection, I opted for the chicken Pad Thai, The chicken was very generously mixed into the rice noodles good thick cut pieces, perfectly tender and seasoned chicken. Just delicious, it was a decent size portion for one person but it was so good I probably would have fished two portions of it. It had a wonderful balance of flavour and textures from some of the crispy veggies and bean sprouts to the soft perfect rice noodles. Great dish! Service 5/5 The food was made fast, the service was very friendly and the price was within reason for this quality of food. Presentation was also very nice. Guys and gals if you're in the area and you want the best Thai food Brampton has to offer this is one of the places you must stop in to try. read more

I LOVE this place!! This is my favourite Thai restaurant literally in the world. Family run and very friendly, helpful service. All of the curries are super delicious that we have tried so far. I love the tom kha soup, which has a coconut milk broth, fresh mushrooms, and cilantro - YUM! The fish lover dish (Pla Rad Prik) was absolutely scrumptious, think fried crispy fish drizzled with a spicy sweet sauce. Another must try is the green curry with shrimps, so so flavourful and tasty! I really like that the restaurant prides itself on being a healthier Thai experience, using less oil, palm sugars, and making everything fresh. Nothing I have eaten here is greasy at all and I dream about their food frequently, its so good! I loved my first visit so much, we actually ended up taking my BF's mom with his family for her 50th birthday party earlier this month. The staff was super accommodating and also even gave us fried banana dessert with a candle in it to celebrate! It was a very sweet touch which was much appreciated! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I hate to break it to you all.... I don't know how this restaurant could even get a score out of 5. If I could score negative values in here, I would. Their PAD THAI was the worst that I've had. Tasted bland, old, and odd. I'm usually reasonable with Thai Food, but this one is just REALLY bad. The chicken tasted OLD as well. For $12????? NO FREAKING WAY. I've had better pad thai. Thai Cuisine at food court could easily outrank them. Whoever rated this higher than 1 must have done it LOOOONG TIME ago, or must've been friends with the owners. That's just how bad it is. Sorry. I give 1 point for THAI ICED TEA ($3.75) Although, that too, must have been taken from a can. read more

I really like this place. I find it super cozy, kind of chilly during the winter, but definitely cozy. I actually like how they have their own little parking spots at the side of the restaurant, very convenient if you find a spot. What my friend and I had ordered: Thai Spring Rolls (Chicken) Freshly Thai Rolls (Shrimp) Shrimp Pad Thai Massaman Curry with Beef I really enjoyed the Fresh Rolls, would definitely order again. As for the Massaman curry, this is a dish I typically order as it's my favourite curry. I found it really light in colour and not much flavour, it was okay. I would probably order another dish from there. My friend did like her Pad Thai, she did ask for extra sauce though. She thought it was not "saucy" enough. Regardless, it's a really good place to grab a bite. read more

Food is still great. The mango salad is a good size portion and even picking mild had a little kick in a good way. Red curry and pineapple rice continue to be favourites. The shrimp spring roll is a tiny salad in a rice wrap, not much flavour there but the sweet and the peanut sauces that come with it are nice, plus it's good to have a little veg with our meal. read more

Food Definitely could be better. Small portions and the food was not hot when it came out. Furthermore, this place was overpriced. Atomsphere Charming restaurant. Simple decorated. Probably 10-12 tables available. A little cold, especially by the door. We saw ppl asking to move. Parking was a little limited. But the city parking was not too far. Overall Probably won't go back. read more

I have been to this spot 2-3 times and have always had the same impression as to taste, atmosphere and service. The food is average but decent. This is nowhere near the best pad Thai or curry I have ever had, but is certainly the best option in the area if you have a craving you'd like to fill. They are cautious about asking you for your spice preference when ordering. There isn't much to be said about the atmosphere of the restaurant. It is a bland, no frills type of establishment. Not fancy. Not special. The service, however, is terrible! I'm not sure if they just don't have enough staff but the wait times are terrible. You can easily find a table to sit at, but will wait quite some time before being approached. We looked up the menu on our phones and when we were finally approached with menus (some 20 minutes later), we ordered our drinks and dishes to avoid any further wait. My friend ordered a coke (and asked for it on multiple occasions), but never received it. read more

I used to love dining in here. Delicious food family owned restaurant. Its been a while but i will definitely think of ordering food from here whenever i feel like having Thai! What I usually have here is their starters platter, thai curry and pad thai. They have a lot other options. read more

Freshly Thai is a really good option for Thai in Brampton. The Pad Thai and Panang Curry are definitely tasty choices. read more

I wish I had read Jannies L's review prior. We went here for lunch today. I ordered the Basil chicken with rice and spring rolls and wife had an order of spring rolls with Mango pinapple iced tea. Spring roll's filling wasn't distinguishable. It seemed like vegetables cooked and mashed together before filling them in the rolls. The rolls were tasteless as was the watered down plum sauce served with it. Basil chicken was supposed to be spicy but it was far from it. There was hardly any sauce with the dish. It was beans, onions and green pepper in just a little bit of water with chilli-flakes sprinkled on top. There was no flavour to the dish at all. The Mango pineapple green tea seemed like the two juices mixed together with equal portion of water served with ice. There was no tea in Mango Pineapple green tea. Our water was refilled a couple of times. But no one came to ask if the food tasted okay. When we were paying we complained about the food being very bland we were asked if we would like some soy sauce :-) Not going there again even with the gun to my head. Horrible! read more

I've driven by this place so many times and today I finally decided to pop in for a solo lunch. I feel very conflicted writing this review so let me start with the good. This place is definitely family owned and run, which gives it a level of charm that most restaurants don't have. I overheard the bubbly waitress shevon (sorry for the spelling) greeting a customer by their first name. They have a variety of options for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. They also state that they use the freshest ingredients possible, make their tamarind sauce in house, no msg and they don't use fish sauce (vegans rejoice). I ordered the chicken wings and the Pineapple red curry. It was delicious and I don't have any complaints there either. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was definitely good and worth a second trip. I also like that they have a wide variety of tea selections because I love tea. Now the bad... Definitely the slowest service I've ever had. I had to put money in my parking meter a second time because I was there for about 2 hours. The restaurant roughly sits about 40 people and i would guess there was always about 12-15 people seated. They couldn't handle it. Almost all the table were filled with dishes, the food wasn't coming out fast enough and the other waitress looked really stress. They were nice don't get me wrong but they were understaffed. I asked shevon if they are always this busy and she said on Fridays they are but 2 waitresses called in sick and some of the kitchen staff are on vacation. So I am definitely going to give them another try. But if the service doesn't improve I probably wouldn't go back. read more

We have been coming here for years and the owners and staff are so much fun. It's a family run place and the food shows. This is Thai curry not to be confused with other styles of curry, it is slightly different. And you can adjust the level of spice you want...their hot is Hot. My fav dish is either the Pineapple rice or Mango surprise. Their Tom Yum soo amd spring rolls are yummy and must-orders when we are there. Husband always gets the Pad Thai with medium spice, he loves it. We have had their curries before and they are good, (not as thick of a sauce like Indian curries ) my fav is the coconut curry ..don't remember the name. Patio is lovely in the summer, bring a scarf or sweater in winter... it can be chilly in here! read more

We were looking for a good Thai restaurant in brampton and this one came up. One way to check for authenticity in a Thai restaurant is to try their Thai iced tea. We tried it at this restaurant and it was ok. The flavour of the tea was very light. We also ordered a Tom kha gai soup which was pretty good but it wasn't served very hot. We also ordered their lunch special red curry and the taste was just ok. The curry was so thin it could almost be a soup. Sorry, but won't be coming back here. read more

One of the best vegan Thai restaurants in Brampton. Best part is that their base is vegan, so vegans and vegetarians would love it. We are coming here back to back in 2 days. Service is great too and is the location. read more

The 3 star rating is definitely for service (4 stars if it was only based on service) When we first walked in the sign reminds me a bit of "poutine dare to be fresh" down the street, same neon green. It is west of main on queen and has its own tiny little parking lot (5-6 cars). Not a big place, maybe 7-8 tables and some were filled when we came in sans reservations (although it was a Thursday night, it did start to fill up by the time we left) One of the waitress greeted us as soon as she saw us, and prompty seated us. the decor was nice, they have gold/black table clothes that felt very authentic. Minimalistic was the way they went with the decor, little touches (little Buddha, smaller pictures, 1 small red flower in a little candle holder that just made the ambiance a bit nicer to dine in) The menu is vast for a thai place, with many sub headings, listed as pad thai, curry, soup, friend rice, all coming with choice of vegetable, chicken., beef, pork, tofu. This for me took away the authenticity of the place, it made me feel like I was ordering the same thing but in a different form, with everything falling under a category it didn't feel like each dish was made individually, just add the meat to a bowl in the back. Kind of like fast food... and I've never seen pork curry before :s We had thai chicken spring rolls $5.95 to start, order came with six small ones, the filling is hard to describe since you can not identify any meat or any substance, it was black and mushy, no taste I can distinguish. The sauce that came with it helped carry it down. I asked for spicy on my hubby's chicken pad thai ($9.95), it was not spicy at all and the portion was a bit smaller than other places we've been. I've had my share of Thai curries and what came out when I ordered the spicy beef green curry ($9.95) was neither spicy nor curry, very watery and the taste was lacking due to the excess water. A friend had the red curry with beef and it came out similar to mine. The other had the thai bbq chicken $10.95 (didn't know this existed) and in the words of my two friends "they know chicken and that wasn't good chicken" came out with a nice presentation but didn't smell like thai herb roasted chicken, couldn't smell it at all actually. We had a bottle of white wine 9they had to check if it was in stock, which makes me think they just run next door to buy one from the lcbo) They had to do the same with each beers my friends ordered, and they ran out of the first one after 1 bottle and recommended a second one. I understand small businesses keep their inventory low to avoid wasting food, but alcohol doesn't expire in a month or two so they shouldn't have their customers drink 3 different types of beers, based on recommendation of which ones they have. Another side note was the server spilled a beer on my friend, apologized and helped to wipe everything but there was about 1/6th of the beer left and she charged him full price for it. Which I didn't think was appropriate. However like I said the service was great otherwise, we were old friends catching up for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours and we never felt any pressure to leave. I would go in if I was in the area and had a strong craving for thai (although bamboo garden is down the street) but won't trek my way west for it. *** Tip They also have lunch buffet, so you can go and try out most of their dishes. Also they have a pretty big patio so for $4.50 beers it wouldn't be a bad place to hang in the summer. read more

I loved the meals I had at Freshly Thai. I had the Pad Sew and the Yellow Curry dish. Both were so tasty and gluten free! I felt very comforted by the clear labeling of the menu of which items that were gf and the staff was helpful when I needed to know how the tofu was cooked. It is pan fried so I did not have to worry about cross contamination from a deep fryer. Highly recommend. read more

Came here with my family. We ordered the freshly Thai platter (the spring rolls were delicious!) as well as the honey garlic beef, chicken pad thai, delicious scallops, fried fish with tamarind sauce (can't remember the name) and a fish curry. We asked that the fish curry and scallops be spicy, but they were quite mild. The honey garlic beef however was really spicy! My brother couldn't handle it. The service was so slow! We had to ask them for cutlery as they didn't provide any for us and that took forever. Overall the food was good, but I probably wouldn't come back here again. read more

My fiance and I are clearly on a mission to test every gluten free offering in the Brampton area. After a quick google search we decided to check out Freshly Thai. We ordered over the phone (take-out) and arrived about 30 minutes later to pick up the food. The location was a little difficult to find and had a tiny parking lot (I think 5 cars max!) Thankfully a space was open so we could quickly run in. The staff was courteous and polite and our food was all ready to go. We had read through other comments that the portions were very small, so we ordered three (to share). We definitely did not need three. The portions were more than enough, but we saved what was left and had a nice lunch the next day. It all reheated quite well. We ordered the spicy thai basil noodles, freshly thai cashew/almond plate and the Pad-see-ew. The cashew/almond plate was by far the best. My only real complaint was that there wasn't much meat in the dishes, and to just pay $10.95 for veggies and noodles/rice seems a bit much. Otherwise, very happy with our experience! read more

Literally the best red Thai curry I have ever had !!!!! I can not believe how much I love this place. I live right around the corner, and I am obsessed. Perfect for date night, a girls lunch, take out, take your mom, take your grandma take everyone !!!!! read more

Looking for authentic Thai food in Brampton is quite a task. Usually when you find a place its usually a mixture of Vietnamese/Pho/Thai or Chinese/Thai. Not to say that this isn't good...its just not the same as a place that specializes in traditional Thai recipes. On recommendations for Yelp GTA Elites..I was directed to Freshly Thai with a guarantee of authentic Thai recipes and preparation. Located in the central core of downtown Brampton, not far from the main intersection of Queen and Hurontario, you will a find a somewhat out of place building in the middle of taller buildings in the core. Freshly Thai is a family owned business and you can feel that welcome family feeling when you arrive. We were greeted warmly and were quickly sat. The dining room is not that large, but large enough for about 20 tables. The menu has all the traditional Thai dishes that I love. Red curry, Green Curry, Yellow Curry, Pad Thai, Khao Sao Kai (curry noodle soup) and other great dishes. I ordered the Pineapple Curry Chicken with white rice with a Thai Chicken roll starter and the wife ordered the traditional Pad thai with Chicken. Service was fast and friendly and when I went to use the restroom I passed by the kitchen and you can see the family working hard to prepare your meal. Our meal arrived with beautiful cut vegetable flowers adorning my wife's Pad Thai and a generous portion of Pineapple Chicken curry in a bowl. The taste was amazing and the flavours were right on target. After our meal I ordered a "Thai" coffee (its served with condensed milk) to finish. All the recommendations and reviews were right...authentic Thai food...family owned...fast and friendly service. 5 Stars!!! read more

It's a nice little Thai place. It is the only place I have tried so far in Brampton and it was completely edible. I would go back again, but I will probably keep seeking out other restaurants until I find one. Admittedly I am spoiled when it comes to Thai food. I've been to Thailand but my local Thai restaurant in Colorado Springs (of all places!) run by Thai's, is the best Thai food I have had. Better than anything we had in Thailand and much better than this place in Brampton, Freshly Thai. I prefer a strong and thick creamy curry. I ordered my curry "Thai Hot" which is the spiciest they give, and when I received it there was no spice to it at all. I had a little small sauce cup of spice, so I put that in which raised it up a little bit, but it still wasn't that spicy. The curry itself had a pretty good flavour but was more soupy than curry-y. The thai chicken eggrolls were very tiny and lacked much flavour. The chicken satay skewers were not tasty in my opinion. The sauce was more creamy than peanuty and the chicken again had little flavour. It is something I would expect from the middle of nowhere. Not from the best food parts of the world like the GTA. If this restaurant was in Kentucky, it would get 4-stars. The food is not bad, it is just sort of meh. read more

I really like the food here. The service less so. Food's priced well. It's flavorful and fresh. When I ask for spicy, they (usually) make it spicy. I really enjoy rice paper rolls/salad rolls, and I like theirs bunches! They make them just how I like them. For an entree I usually get a noodle dish, such as pad seew or basil noodles, but I dig the green curry as well. The service is super friendly, but it's so, so, sloooow. We would go here more often for casual weekday fare if the service were quicker. Recommended, though, overall. read more

If i could give it 0 stars I would. Food was tasteless, watery sauce, small portions and spent $80 for 3 people. Total waste of money!

Very good vegetarian food. I loved the taste of authentic Thai. Excellent service. It's very small place but food was awesome. read more

Excellent service very prompt and attentive, pad thai was great and recommend the fresh chicken spring rolls

It taste like hospital food. No taste or flavour. The worst Thai I have ever tasted. I ordered the spring rolls and they tasted like they were previously frozen. The cashew nut chicken was watery and taste was poor. read more

Love this place! The food is fresh and delicious. I eat here all the time, especially in the summer on the patio. It's owned by three sisters who are always there working hard and making personal connections to their customers. They see me walk in and know my order, how nice is that?! Large portions too, I always have enough for lunch the next day. It's great to support a small, local, family owned and and operated business (that also has great food)! read more

This place use to be good, not anymore. The vegetables in the chicken curry now consist of potatoes and onions :( . Gone are the peppers, broccoli, etc. Soooo disappointing! read more

I work down the road from Freshly Thai and it has become my goto restaurant. The staff are very friendly and the food is always hot, fresh, and most importantly, tasty. Beware of the spicy heat rating though. I love spice but the spicy pad Thai letter ally made me cry while I ate it. My Co - workers laughed at me. The meal was still amazing, don't get me wrong. Just remember that spicy is for those who were born with a chili pepper in their mouth ;) read more

This restaurant is by far the worst that I have ever been to. The owner is extremely rude not only to customers but also to her staff. I ordered take out and when I got home and checked the order there were several menu items missing which I had paid for. Also, there was a dead COCKROACH in one box of food. It was disgusting and when I called and spoke to the owner she was extremely rude. She would not refund my money and actually swore at me calling me a variety of names including things that were racist. I would strongly recommend that you DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Reliable Thai food. Always fresh and tasty. Fair prices.

Even the website offers the option to text in a take out order, DON'T DO IT. I did that today, and when I went in to pick up my food, I was told that they didn't "hear" the text coming in. Like any restaurant, ambient noise is likely to cover many sounds, including text message notifications. This means that the restaurant doesn't actually check the messages, and of course, if they can't hear the notification, your order won't get made. Why offer any conveniences when it winds up wasting everyone's time? I'm sure the food is fine - I wouldn't know. They didn't make my order. read more

I pass by this restaurant many times in the past four years and I never tried it out. So I decided to grab dinner there last night. Not bad. I ordered pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice. The pad Thai is pretty good, I think it's better than Thai express. Pineapple fried rice on the other hand was a bit disappointing. The rice was overcooked and mushy. But I wanted it spicy, and the lady was nice to make it spicy for me. The price is moderate, and the portion was a bit too small for me, but I would come back again and I would recommend this restaurant. They have an outdoor patio which is awesome. read more

Was delighted to find a Thai restaurant and have eaten here a few times. The restaurant is quaint and nicely decorated. There is only one lady ever working, waiting on tables, ringing up take-out orders, running back and forth from the kitchen, etc. She's friendly but frazzled. Aside from taking my order and dropping off my food, I never see her again. Don't expect another shot at asking for salt or water or anything else. Service is pretty non-existent. When it's time to pay, just walk up to the front because the cheque will never come otherwise. I usually order the massaman curry which is my favourite Thai dish. It was a little on the sweet side and not as flavourful or rich. The soup had crisp fresh vegetables in it so that was nice. Dessert, I will say, was amazing. Sticky rice with mango. If they just hired even one person to help out during lunch hour, this place could be excellent. read more

I have just had the worst experience of my life at a restaurant. Last Friday, July 19, 2019 and I order Green Curry Vegan and Pad Se Ew Vegan made with extra Tofu. At the time, I paid for the meal in full and went home to enjoy my dinner. Upon opening my meal, I realized that the Pad Se Ew was made with eggs. I spoke with the individual over the telephone and they were unwilling to drive to my house to replace the meal although acknowledging their own error. Upon my return to the restaurant, I asked so speak to the owner who was clearly frustrated already. She seemed to not be willing to discuss the matter instead, without speaking to me, asked her staff to replace the meal. I made it clear that I do not wish to have the meal and that I prefer a refund. This erupted the owner into interrupting me while I was calm and collective when attempting to discuss the matter with her. At that point, matters became hostile and she called the POLICE saying that I was rude and would not leave her store WHILE we were having a discussion about it. Now, it is not about the money but more about the principal behind the fact that the owner did not want to acknowledge her staffs mistake from the onset. Had she been willing to listen to her customers, this matter would not have escalated to the situation it has now. At that point, she kept continuing on that she doesnt have time and she doesnt give a sh*t nor time to deal with b*llsh*t. At that point she attempted to advise that she has witnesses in her staff that have seen my vulgar language. Her method of dealing with the situation and advising that she does not WANT my business and she wants me to leave by pouncing towards my face made the situation very awkward. At that point she did not care nor did she want to acknowledge her fault here. Clearly she lacks business ethics an owner should. read more

And it is exactly that- FRESH! I always know I am going to have an amazing lunch/dinner when I come here. It can take awhile sometimes to get the food, but it is SO worth the wait!!!

This is my go to spot! read more

Worth a try. Offers authentic thai food, nothing overly spectacular but decent enough to crush that thai cravings.

We ordered take out, and got Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Pad Sew-ee and Peanut chicken. The Pad Thai and Pad Sew were dry and flavourless, and we were quite dissapointed. read more

I always eat here after my dentist appointment across the street. I usually order red curry with bamboo shoots and tofu and the spice level is on point and very filling. Worth saving left overs for. The people here really know their food and will answer any questions. One of the workers spent 5 minutes explained in detail about each of their different curries. The people here seem to happy. And give off a positive atmosphere. Watch out for the fried rice, the spice level caught me off guard (and i lived it since i persinally enjoy having spicy food) Tom yum soups also good to order if your not too hungry and want something spicy and flavourful to go. Im getting. Hungry just from thinking about it... read more
