Dead cockroach on my Thai iced tea. They noticed my disgust and brought me a new one however nothing could make me go back. The workers were snickering watching me struggle to read their menu when they sat us at a table with no overhead lighting and a tiny candle. Food was a 2/5 - there's better places to go for Thai food. read more

We ordered some lunch time specials on a weekday, which were a great deal. You get a main with hot and sour soup and a spring roll. The pad Thai wasn't anything special. It tasted like I've had it before. Not that it was bad, it was just very basic, like I wouldn't go out of my way to eat this again but wouldn't mind eating it if it was there. My bfs basil chicken was actually delicious. The basil flavour was so strong. Which is exactly what I expected. It's a great portion as well. But the star of the meal was the hot and sour soup. Maaaaan, I'm so glad it was too spicy for my bf cuz I got to have two of those to myself lol. It was SOOO good. The consistency is great, not too runny or thin. Flavour on point. Not pinch on the tofu. I will order this again and again. Even their spring roll was amazing! I don't expect much from lunch time special spring rolls lol but I was so surprised at how these didn't get soggy in the bag. I consumed it probably 10-15 mins after getting our order and it was STILL crunchy! The filling seems pretty primo too and not just a bunch of cabbage and carrots. Defs coming back this summer to try new things! read more

This place is very spacious and has a great ambience. Come here for dinner with some friends, we ordered the chicken satay, spicy noodle chicken and pad Thai chicken. Loved the satay chicken with the peanut sauce. I had the spicy noodle chicken, it was a good portion with lots of chicken and vegetables. I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce so I would recommend sticking with the pad thais to be safe. Overall, the staff were attentive and friendly. Would recommend this place for lunch and dinner! read more

It's a large Thai restaurant in which the door is interesting to open. Upon entering, I felt it was quite dark for a Thai place, especially for lunch. Wait - the washroom is even darker than the dining area!! Geesh, let there be light!! There's a limit of how far one can go to be romantic, but when you have to find light to see the menu (which is in tiny font), that's not cool. Due the pandemic, we got to choose our tables only to be told in five minutes to move over to another table in case other customers came. What??? There were over 12 tables and not social distancing for sure. At the end, no other customers entered during the lunch period. Sadly. We went for their lunch menu only to be told it's online only. Bummer. (We ate lunch there years ago.) My noodle dish came in a cool fish plate which I really liked and admired. I want one!! The food was decent, but portion size is smaller. My hubby had their pad Thai. Nothing special he said. Verdict - will only go back for a special occasion. I'll like to admire my surroundings in better lighting. read more

Trying authentic Thai place located downtown Oakville. It's a popular place. There is a small wait for tables. Seated on the outdoor patio, tables are spaced apart for social distancing. I ordered Phad Thai with chicken. The noodles had the right chewiness and was flavourful. Good portions. My friend ordered the Curry Chicken & side of Jasmine rice. Nice sized portions with generous thinly sliced chicken. I would go back to try more on the menu. read more

Reading reviews for Soontorn Banh Thai in downtown Oakville, Ontario, suggests a possible change of ownership or chef somewhere in the distant past. Regardless, our experience there on a recent weekday evening left the impression that the kitchen had lost its touch and service/management hadn't figured out what to do about it. Once we realized that they had no parking lot despite affirming it did on their Yelp page, we walked into a dark, yet well appointed dining room. Service was provided by nicely dressed seater and server, so we hoped for auspicious moments to come. Unfortunately, they really didn't arrive. By the time we sampled our order of Tom Yum Soup, Coconut Chicken Soup, Pad Thai (shrimp) and Spicy Noodles (chicken, described as "Pad Kee Mao"), we realized that the kitchen lacked appropriate spices for each dish, and was heavy handed with sugar and pepper, not nearly in proper proportion, nor as called for by recipe. To explain: The Tom Yum Soup was sweet, when it should have been sour and hot with the influence of lemongrass. There was none to be found. The same sugariness was present in the Pad Thai, where a subtle sweetness mixed with other spices would be acceptable. Those other wonderful Thai tones were missing as were the ground peanuts. The Spicy Noodles (Pad Kee Mao by their own admission) also lacked the key ingredient, lemongrass, and small red hot chili pepper or flakes to bring the expected flavor and heat. Rather, it was loaded primarily with white pepper, salt and another unidentified spice, which although not seen, packed a strong punch of the wrong taste. Further, rather than broad noodles usually present in this dish, much smaller gauge noods were found at the bottom of the fish bowl platter. So disappointing. And, what about the over abundance of broccoli and onion and the absence of carrot, celery or other greens? The final insult was that our request for chopsticks was met with distain as if we were bad children for even asking. I am not Thai, but having been there twice on business and dined in both fine restaurants and indulged in their great street food. I never had to ask for sticks, because they were ever present. We were just trying for a more Asian feel to the meal. That attitude killed whatever hope we had for redemption from the house. So, cool the dismissiveness, and work on warming your costumer service, not to mention securing proper provisions. read more

Came back a few months later with other friends, ordered a few dishes to try, taste was consistent but slightly on the salty side in general. The eggplant delight still is my favourite dish, the pha Thai was a bit soggy, overly sweeten, off the balance between sweet and salty. beef and pineapple chicken curry both were excellent. read more

Located in downtown Oakville, which is important to note because when I searched for the place on my GPS, it took me to a completely different area in Oakville. After realising this mishap, jumped back onto the highway and needed another ten minutes from where it originally misled me to find the actual restaurant. With road repairs, know you'll be surrounded by heavy construction and if you aren't familiar with Oakville, the walking path leading to the restaurant is quite the journey.. Met girlfriends for lunch during a work day. Restaurant was fairly empty, minus four tables, including ours. Has the feel of a fine dining restaurant and is dimly lit. Good for romantic evenings, I guess. We each ordered from their lunch menu. I had the shrimp green curry. If it weren't for the soup, salad and spring roll that accompanied my meal, would have left feeling hungry. There were four pieces of shrimp in my dish, with the majority being rice and vegetables. The sauce was also fiery hot in spite of enquiring about since the dish was labelled as mild. Had my friends not requested this place for convenience, I'd not have gone out of my way to dine in. Food was average. Nothing about it screams authentic really. Service was fair. Didn't take any pictures 'cause couldn't be bothered and it was too dark. Overall experience 3/5. read more

I will start with yelp lead me a stray... not on the food but the parking... they do not have a private parking...street parking and I can't parallel part plus you have to pay to park. But since it was after 6 it was free. Now to the food omg so good. I asked for spicy and they delivered without going over. The flavors were so good. The potion sizes wasn't too small or big ... just right. Now they would had gotta four stars but I had to lower it for service . They forgot about me after I finished dinner. I finished they took my plate and I never saw my waitress again, but she passed right by me and never said anything. I had to ask a random person to order dessert. And that is after I sat for 5 mins of no one. read more

I was very excited to find a Thai restaurant while roaming around since I have lived in Thailand pretty much half my life and LOVE Thai food. I was very happy to see their menu full of Thai food that I don't usually see in other Thai restaurants. First off, I ordered the Thai iced coffee and it tasted just like an instant coffee you'd get from the grocery store (I asked to make sure its actually thr Thai coffee and they confirmed) but NOPE this is not it. Then I got their Basil chicken, coconut chicken soup, green curry soup and noodle soup. Let's begin.. - Basil chicken or should I say, onion and broccoli chicken?? The dish was FULL of broccoli and chicken and barely any basil. If you've been to Thailand then you might know this would have been a crime there! You aren't supposed to add any vegetables and only protein, chilies, garlic and the basil. Was it good? Yes but this is not the dish!!!! You cant make up a dish and slap a name of another dish to it. - coconut chicken soup. Why so sweet? This is supposed to be sour and salty bit it was SWEET! I don't know if thr chef accidentally used the coconut milk for the desserts for this soup? Its not supposed to be sweet but omg we had to add the lemon from our drink to make it less sweet . - green curry. Why would you add broccoli to green curry????????? They added the bamboo shoots which I wouldn't have been so mad since you can find that in Thailand but you aren't supposed yo add broccoli! Broccoli doesn't go with everything and its not even a common vegetable in Thailand! - noodle soup. Wrong choice of noodles, the soup was too thin. Its supposed to be a lot thicker but overall, this was probably the best dish of all I tried. I mean,the taste of the food wasn't too bad but itd nowhere near Thai food. Its an American washed Thai-ish food. Dont recommend if you are looking for Thai food (not very cheap either!!!!!!!) read more

A bit pricey, but worth it. Pad thai was great. Vegetable red curry goes absolutely nuts. fried rice was just bomb. Sweet restaurant vibe too read more

I love their food here it is one of the best in the area. They're very accommodating for those with dietary restrictions which isn't always as easy as you may think at Thai restaurants. Some of them make their sauces ahead of time, but not these guys! They make everything fresh. My one complaint is the lack of light inside. It is very dark! Beautiful decor but a bit depressing at times. Especially during the day! Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. The food deserves 5 stars for sure! read more

The best Thai food in Oakville. Beautiful ambience as well. Definitely recommend going here.

The ambience is very cool but the food could be better. Compared to Sabai Sabai or Khao San, they aren't as up on the seasoning, freshness or quality. The staff is very nice and the location is in the centre of downtown Oakville. We ordered beef with scallions and peppers and a basil shrimp. Chicken satay skewers were our appetizer. The food just didn't have the kick I was craving when I eat Thai food and the flavours didn't indulge my senses. A so-so Thai food experience. read more

Ordered the chicken satay for appetizers which was quite good, soft and flavorful I actually enjoyed this the most. We also ordered prawns and a beef dish which were good but lacking in flavor and spice and had far too many broccolis to accompany both dishes. Service was good but I've been to better Thai restaurants. read more

I was craving Thai food (it's seriously becoming my fav), and my boyfriend and I were in town so we found this place and decided to go based on the positive reviews. Amazing experience, so glad we went! We ordered the green currie, spicy beef stir fry and 2 servings of white rice. The food was delicious (ate every last bit haha), the serving sizes were prefect - we were full and could not have eaten a 3rd dish even though we contemplated also ordering the pad thai when initially ordering... so 2 main dishes for 2 people is more than plenty. I'm someone who doesn't eat a lot of spicy food at all, and I found the green curry had a kick to it, but was really good! The ambiance was wonderful, lighting dim, nice suitable decor, very spacious and open. Last thing I wanted to mention... the service was outstanding!!! Everyone was really on top of things and extremely friendly. Our water was always full (I drink a lot of water haha), and each dish was cleared within like 30 seconds of finishing it. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The place was kind hard to find at night. The sign is not visible. It's located in the corner on the inner sides of the street. The decor and ambiance of the place looks really good. The place is really nicely designed. It has a lot of beautiful decor that gives it a Thai feel to it. They have authentic Thai style food but the taste might have been altered for others. The waitresses are Thai ethnicity. Came here with a group of 8. The wait was way too long and a big turn off. Opinions on the food: Pineapple chicken curry - pineapples is extreme sour. Not too spicy. The chickens good. The red curry is thick and creamy. $16.95 Yellow chicken curry - creamy and slightly spicy but not too spicy. The yellow curry is not thick enough more watery than the other ones. $16.95 Thai shrimp curry - the green curry was not spicy enough. More of a mild curry. Not a spicy curry. It wasn't really flavourful. It was ok. $19.95 Rice has to be ordered separate. $2.95 Crab fried shrimp - it was ok. Not flavourful enough. Needs more spices. There was little crab meat, it was not really distinct. $15.95 Tom yum soup - too sour. Not a lot of tom yum flavour just overpowering citrus flavour and not spicy. $7.95 Basil shrimp - it was good, loved it but there was only 6 pieces of shrimp for $18.95 felt like it was overpriced for that portion. It was mostly vegetables. Garlic beef - the flavour of the garlic beef is really good but the beef is a little tough. It's also a little too salty. $19.95 Thai ice tea - the Thai ice tea is really good but a little on the sweeter side. Creamy and rich. Taste better than most places. $5 Piña colada - pretty good if you like coconut. It's not too sweet. Mange sticky rice - the mango was hard and really sour. The sticky rice was warm and soft. It was coated with coconut and sesame seeds. $8.95 not worth it. Washrooms 5/5 - lovely design really unique. It's very spacious. It was really clean and the soap smelt nice. They even have lotion. I give a 3/5 for the food. 4/5 for the design and cleanliness. Overall I give this restaurant a 4/5. A little pricey as the curries don't include rice. read more

Trendy Thai spot in Oakville's Town Square. You can't miss the huge fortress-like door, that looks straight out of all the dungeon porn I watch. A bold first impression. We were greeted immediately, but cautioned that closing was an hour away. Was that necessary? Anyway, we grabbed a table when I noticed these spacepod-looking booths along the far wall. "Can we sit there?" I asked the way an eight-year-old might. If my mother was there she would have told me to sit quietly and behave. But she wasn't, so it was spacepod time! Truth be told, the booth is a little weird. The seats are pretty low to the floor and the booth is backless. It's almost like the area is a pimped out version of sitting on the floor. I liked the moody lighting and the plush triangular shaped pillows, but honestly I wouldn't cram more than four people here or things would get weird. So the first time I'm in a Thai restaurant, I usually order the pad thai. I decided to branch out and get a spicy Pad Kee Mao (big step, I know). My DC ordered a spicy pineapple chicken curry with a side of rice and we starte with an appetizer sampler (for one) to share. It really is meant for one person: three pieces of fried taro, one chicken satay skewer, one spring roll, one shrimp rolls. It wasn't amazing. The mains however were pretty good. I enjoyed the taste of the pineapple chicken curry more than my own chicken noodle dish, but both flavourful and spicy! It was a little pricy for Thai (Over $50 for two including tip), so in that regard the food falls a little short of my expectations. But with a great atmosphere and a solid menu, I'm sure to be back. Obligatory Title Pun: I will come back SOON. Menu Readability: Very elegant. Need to mention: Check out their bar made from a tree-slab. What this place teaches me about myself: I will never not choose to sit in something resembling a spacepod. (Whatever that is.) read more

If you are really hungry, go elsewhere. I had the Chicken Noodle dish and it was literally a hand full of noodles plus veggies and maybe five pieces of very thinly cut meat. It was very tasty and definitely fresh. Ambiente there is nice, too, and really clean...but I don't think I ever left a restaurant that hungry before and I don't want to have to rummage in my backpack outside for that muesli bar somewhere in there. PS: I'm weighing around 100 lb...I'm usually full after the appetizer. So not getting me fed is merely impossible read more

I came here on a Saturday night with my boyfriend for the first time. We both enjoyed the decor and the atmosphere with the low lights. It's great for dates. The food itself was good. We ordered a hot and sour soup and spring rolls to share. Nothing special but i felt that the soup was sweeter than what I am used to. We then proceeded to order the green curry with chicken and pad Thai with shrimp. I really enjoyed the green curry but we thought it was weird you had to order rice on the side since most restaurants would have it with it. The pad Thai was good but nothing spectacular. My only complaint was the service. We felt that it wasn't very attentive where several times we had to flag someonw down to get out waters refilled. Overall I liked the restaurant but it isn't worth the drive from Brampton to go there. read more

What a terrible experience.We decided to celebrate our Anniversary at SoonTron Bahn Thai restaurant so we reserved a table at 7:00 pm.We had to wait for our table for 10 minutes. Then it took the waitress 15 minutes to take our order. At 8:40 we left without having our dinner as the waitress kept apologizing.Very bad and slow service , they ruined the special night out we planned. Left angry and frustrated , we paid for the 2 appetizers and 2 non alcoholic drinks ($40 which was not cheap by the way). GO THERE ONLY IF YOU WANT SLOW SERVICE AND UNORGANIZED STAFF WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I would give this restaurant ZERO STARS but one is the least I can give. read more

Excellent, slightly upscale Thai restaurant in downtown Oakville. It's in a little square next to L'Atelier Grigorian, through the massive wooden doors. The place is dark and atmospheric with cushy pillows and ornate furniture. Definitely has a lounge-y vibe and would be a nice place to go even just for drinks. Lots of cozy nooks and round tables which are great for groups. Thankfully, it's not just style over substance. The kitchen delivers with hearty, authentic Thai dishes with fresh, quality ingredients. My friend and I shared: fresh vegetarian rolls, chicken pad thai, and red curry tofu. Portions were generous (we both ate a lot and still had leftovers). Service was courteous. The prices are slightly more expensive than your average Thai restaurant, but still pretty reasonable. Definitely one of the best Thai places I have found in the west GTA. read more

Pro: AMAZING atmosphere and interior decor Food tastes pretty good especially the Thai spring rolls literally amazing Good location Cons: We felt very rushed and they took our plates when I wasn't even finished and had to hold the spring roll in my hand as they took all my plates away and I don't know if this is good customer service but it was a bit much for me. When it came one to pay the waitress immediately brought the machine over as I was literally taking my last bite and there was still 1 hour before closing. Other than that the other male waiter was very nice. I got the chicken pad Thai and to be honest for the price, I've gotten a lot of much better pad Thai for cheaper but in Toronto so maybe this is good for Oakville standards. read more

While I am hesitant to hand out 5 star reviews, this experience was close to perfect and gave me no reason to offer less. My go to dish for testing a Thai restaurant, and perhaps my favorite dish on the planet when done well, is a simple Thai basil with chicken and vegetables. This was easily one of the best offerings I've ever had in this regard. The spice level was fairly low and gave room for the subtle flavors of the seasonings and the fresh basil. The vegetables were cooked to perfection and the chicken was very tender. The classy atmosphere would make a great setting for a date or for a large gathering. This was a quick lunch visit on my lonesome so I didn't go deep into the menus offerings but I left extremely happy. *side note. It was highly recommended to me to try the tofu and taro appetizer but I didn't have the appetite. read more

This was my first visit to this place. First we were out on lakeshore road in middle of snow storm yesterday couldn't find the Resturant called them twice they failed to guide properly. Went in cold as hell. Ordered a bottle of wine and they only had normal glasses no wine glasses. They offered to give us champagne glasses instead. Although it was -12C outside. White wine was warm. After 8 mins of my order they brought all the food out and didn't even give us 10 mins to enjoy our first glass of wine. Food was just ok and for the prices they charged we expected much better. Had to return Pad Thai Shrimp because it had a foul smell. Terrible experience. read more

Tonight the six of us went for the first time. If you are rating just the food itself then the scores would be 4.5 out of 5. Ambiance would be a 4.0 out of 5.0. The reason for the less than perfect score would be the less than perfect round tables. They look nice but the seats on the end aren't comfortable; there is nothing to lean back on. We tried it out and then opted for a table. The dishes we tried were the Chicken Pad Thai, the Shrimp Pad Thai, the Spicy Thai Noodle, the Cashew Chicken and the Chicken Fried Rice. The Pad Thai was awesome. The Cashew chicken had "kick" so avoid that if you don't like a little fire. The best parts of the evening were the food, the friends and the ambiance. The worst part of the evening was the service. It took a very long time to get out "mains" served after the appetizers. Would we go back? 1/2 our group said yes, while the other 1/2 said no read more
