Where do I start... just wow. The apps were mouth watering delicious. The coconut shrimp blew my mind away along with the spring rolls in cute little bite sized squares. The chicken stick was just right. The calamari with the spicy chili was mmm mmm good. The entrees... the cashew shrimp was our absolute favorite. It was so good if I wasn't full I would've ordered more. Our 2nd favorite was this fried fish dish... omgggg. You must get it! The Eggplant was good and I was so full of couldn't finish it. We ordered the pad kee mow instead of pad thai to try something new. Getting the pad thai next time. The panang beef was tops. The dessert.... the star...mango spicy rice. I'll always order that. read more

Northern Thai - Thai Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

Amazing curry. Very fresh veggies. Would love to come back. Also really loved the basil beef

I have to agree with the other Yelpers - this is currently the best Thai place in KW. You can park in the plaza parking lot on Charles St for free at night and on Sundays. It's also a short walk from the bus terminal. The Thai curries are pretty standard and come in decent portion sizes. What really impresses me is the four flamed fish dish. It's a bit spicier than what I'm used to, but the flavours are wonderful. The Summer platter is a good appetizer dish - I loved the crispy tofu and coconut shrimp. The service has been consistently attentive and quick. The plaza it is located in looks a bit run down and shabby, and I feel like they could use a new storefront, but the indoor ambience and decor is clean and lovely. The food prices are very reasonable, too (in comparison to some other overpriced places in the area.. looking at you, My Thai). Overall, I highly recommend eating here! read more

Thank you Yelp for introducing this restaurant to us. My hubby and I both enjoyed our Green Curry and Pad Thai as well as Coconut Shrimp. Everything we tried tasted great and seemed on par with other highly acclaimed Thai restaurants in Toronto. There are huge painting decorations one showing a golden tree and another one showing some Thai symbol(?). There is also a TV showing the news channel CP 24. The service was quick and efficient. Assuming the new regional light rail trains will be running soon, you will be able to get here by arriving at the Queen LRT station. There is also a parking lot along the Charles Street. Do not park behind the restaurant on the Church Street because that's a private lot for residents in the area. read more

Northern Thai - Coconut Shrimp - more coconut flavour yum than other restaurants - Thai Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

Som Tum is the best ever in KW and so authentic. Love it. But crispy tofu and sticky rice weren't that good.

3.5/5, +.5 for service. I came here on a quiet day for lunch; surprising since I thought this would be a busy place. Either way, it was a rather subtle atmosphere inside and I felt anything higher than my whisper voice would be too loud for the restaurant. The menu could've been organized a little better. It was a little weird how the main course noodle dish stuff was at the last page, and the drinks were somewhere near the first page. I ordered the pad thai, as that's what I usually order in authentic Thai restaurants. There were some reviews around where they say it would be a 15-20 minute wait for my food, but I only waited about 5 minutes, which somewhat surprised me. The portions were huge for $9.50; I wasn't able to finish it all and had to pack it home. Generally I don't pack food home for lunch, but the pad thai tasted so good and saucy I just had to. However, there was a slightest bit of sand in my initial portion, but that was gone as I continued on with my food. Service was excellent. They approached me three times to make sure my food was okay, and when I told them about the slight sand in my food they insisted on giving me another pad thai, but I told them it's okay and that it was tasty regardless. Thai Bistro and Northern Thai are both very good Thai places in Kitchener, and I highly recommend both. read more

Northern Thai - Pad thai. - Thai Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

My husband and I ordered take from here as new customers. They were fast, efficient and friendly taking the order and while picking up. The food was delicious!!! The best we've had so far since moving here from Chicago in October. We'll DEF be ordering again!! We got the chicken fried rice, the pad Thai and the sweet and sour chicken. Really great veggies and chicken used and lots of flavor!!! read more

The interior was absolutely adorable and the dishes were served on cute dishes and seemed totally authentic! I had the green curry with chicken and ordered a side of sticky rice! For all dishes, rice is not included and you need to order it on the side. You can choose between jasmine rice (1$ something) which comes in a regular bowl; or sticky rice (2$ something) that comes in a woven basket. All the other curry dishes my group ordered was good too! Be weary though! The spicy level on dishes where you can add spicy start at a pretty spicy level! read more

Northern Thai - Chicken green curry with sticky rice added on the side - Thai Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

Everything the table ordered was overly sweet and majority of the dishes were not authentic. They use the same type of noodles for pad thai and pad see ew and pad lee mao (drunken noodles), which I have never seen at any Thai restaurant. For dessert, we ordered the mango sticky rice , however the mango used wasn't ripe. I think they repurposed the green mangos that are typically used for mango salads We got 2 appetizers to share, the coconut shrimp and papaya salad, which was probably the highlight of the meal. Overall I wouldn't recommend visiting. read more

Amazing food and we always come back. Good takeout throughout the pandemic too! Drunken noodles are the best. Don't get them spicy if you can't handle the heat though! read more

Reliable and quick for takeaway! Called for my order and as promised, ready to pick up within 10 minutes! This is my first time trying this restaurant and while the service (as far as I can say about takeout) was good, the food is a bit lackluster for me. Not that it's bad but lacked a bit of a tangy kick I like with my Pad Thai. Though the ratio and portion is decent, I found the chicken is kind of dry. Overall, I've had better but it's still average and for anyone who's having a craving for pad Thai, a good option to consider. My friend says their fried calamari is good so I might give that a try! read more

Northern Thai - Chicken pad Thai to go - Thai Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

It was my first time dining at NT and I must say the food is delicious and tastes authentic. My favourite dishes were pad thai, mango salad and crispy four flamed fish. I only gave 4 stars because the icecream we ordered wasnt available so the waiter suggested we order green tea. It came out with freezer burn. Other than that, def a hidden gem in Kitchener read more

I haven't had too much Thai food in the Waterloo region (besides Thai Express) so it was an exciting feeling to discover an authentic Thai place in Kitchener within driving distance from us. It was an interesting experience walking towards Northern Thai because it was dark and dim on the streets, the building looked old and run down from the outside, but once you walk in - it's bright and beautiful decor everywhere. They had a large variety of dishes at decent prices, I myself got the regular Chicken Pad Thai, and it was pretty good, a bit sour for my liking but still not too bad. The Pad Thai was super filling and the portions were larger than normal. I tried my friend's curry and it was superb. It was flavourful, distinctly good and went well with the meats / vegetables in the curry. That's where most of my ratings came from. Everybody seemed to enjoy their dishes! read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend saying that they have the best Pad Thai in KW. Ordered three dishes: Chicken Pad Thai, Sweet Basil Beef, and Pineapple Curry with Chicken. In all three dishes the meat was really dry. There was nothing special about the Sweet Basil Beef, couldn't really taste the basil. The flavour of the curry and pad Thai were good, but once again nothing too special. Service was good, our server filled our waters and got us an extra bowl of rice when we wanted it. This place is a little disappointing and I would recommend eating at My Thai instead (uptown Waterloo) for better quality food and the same price. read more

Awesome Thai resturant in Kitchener. The ambience was great. The resturant is located near to Charles Street Terminal. Although it looks dull from outside, the interior is far more delightful. As usual they will welcome you with hot tea. You can choose any one from the three varieties, jasmine, green or ginger. They had authentic Thai appetizers,lunch and dinner. The Chicken Satay was really delicious. As the skewer was freshly made they took little time serve, but it was worth waiting. We also ordered Green chicken curry and mango chicken which was good too. Next time we would to try pineapple shrimp. I would highly recommend this to my friends. read more

My go-to Thai place in the KW area. I've been to most, if not all the Thai restaurants in the area and would say this is one of the best. I'd recommend the pad thai, green curry, pineapple chicken fried rice, and the beef cashew dish. The service is pretty good, depends on which waitress you get. When I go with a small group, we each order a dish ($9-12) and share. The portions are pretty generous. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to those who are looking for a regular go-to Thai place! Do keep in mind that service can be slow sometimes, and sometimes servers don't come around for refills on waters unless you ask persistently. read more

Northern Thai - Penang curry with beef - Thai Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

Have to quickly show this restaurant some love. This is my favourite Thai restaurant that I have EVER been to. Their food is always fresh, delicious, full of flavour, and loaded with ingredients. They have peanut sauce offered with their salad rolls which include amazing stuffers, including fresh mint which is the ingredient that makes a fresh roll in my opinion. My partner and I always order curry, her: green curry with seafood, and me: red curry with vegetables and tofu. The curries are NEVER lacking and we are always completely happy with our orders and how much veggies and seafood are within it. The prices are very fair, and the staff is very quick! read more

Talk about finding a hidden gem! I wish I had taken pictures of the food before I had eaten it but it looked and smelled so good I couldn't resist! The pad Thai is incredible at this place!

My Thai is ok, but they're no Northern Thai. My opinion, the very best Thai food we have in the region. I always do take out though. The Thai drunken noodle is likely my most favourite dish. btw - you can ask them to make just about any dish spicy. :) I think their heat scale goes from 1-4 (4 being the hottest) - careful, unless you REALLY like heat you might be surprised just how hot their 4 is :) (if you eat Suicide wings at Moose WInooski's, you'll be fine) :) They're always pleasant to deal with - don't think they've EVER gotten one of my orders wrong and it's always ready when they say it is. read more

Pad Thai is where it's it ask for it spicy they will make it truly Thai spicy also the beef salad spicy is great tons of flavour

Amazing food, great experience. Would easily stop again if I'm in the area again. Reasonably priced, we had a party of 9 and the bill was $120 USD. Limited bar, but it was ethnic beer and drinks which was great! read more

Without a doubt the best Thai place in KW. The green curry is the epitome of coconut goodness. I'm not a fan of overwhelming coconut flavours, but their curry had just the right amount for me, with all the other vegetables and seafood mixed in. Really great authentic Thai food. Also the interior is wonderfully decorated and adorn with elephants. It's a complete flip from it's run-down exterior. read more

Food was great - fresh and authentic! The restaurant is small and cozy, you might have to wait for a table but it's worth the wait. Staff were very friendly as well.
