Really tasty food and incredibly generous portion size for the price. Edit: just realized they were recently bought out and renamed Bangkok Bistro! That explains why our experience is far far better than the ones from 2-3 years ago.

We had a soup craving, the picture would never do justice to what we experienced, this was absolutely delicious! I took the half way through the dish, because I reminded myself to write a review. So yeah recommend!

I'll start with the ambience. The restaurant is relatively small and has nothing unusual in terms of design. What is noticeable is a somewhat unpleasant smell when you walk in. The menu offers a reasonable number of dishes. However, the prices are a little too high, which is due to the very small portions. The service is friendly, but the dishes are not served at the same time but several minutes apart. And you have to wait a long time for your order.

We had a great time at Thida Thai and we're very well taken care of. We brought our 18 month old and they were great with him. It was not super busy on a Monday night so we had lots of space. I did have to remind them to bring us one drink. But overall great experience.

Cheap and cheerful neighbourhood gem. I usually come for the $16 lunch special which includes salad and a spring roll. My favourite is the seasonal vegetables in a garlic sauce, or the pad Thai. Friendly staff, typically ornate decor. Spotless bathrooms. Simple, healthy food beautifully presented. They do a large take out business with the hospital staff. Update: Feb 23, 2024- Came for lunch with two colleagues. I had the ginger lunch special with vegetables and tofu, one had the green curry beef, the other the soy sauce noodles. All delicious, beautifully presented and fresh. Two Singha beers made it a vacation day! The staff is friendly and patient, and the lavatory clean and well stocked.

First time visiting, once I walked into the store I knew it was gonna be authentic. The place was clean, I love the color of table, and the washroom was very clean too. Their environment was calm, and the lady was kind and friendly. They opened on Canada day and still offering lunch special which was nice. Therefore I got Pad Thai lunch special (with a super huge platelove it) spring roll was so crispy that I would order a full dish next time. Talk about our main character, Pad Thai was delicious for sure, tasted authentic from the sauce, good enough portion as well. I also got their Thai tea (aka Thai milk tea) which was yummy without questions. The weather outside was hot today, however, the temperature indoor is cool and comfortable. The price was worthy for the meal, this spot has been saved on my favorite list.

First time coming here and the food was good. Service is fast,server made sure to always check on us,liked how comfortable and cultural the place is :) ORDERS : - Pad Thai (Good but a bit funny because they use ketchup as the main sauce but we can still tastes a bit of the Pad Thai flavour) - Thida Thai Fried Rice (Good,my favourite out of all) - Sweet and Sour Fish (Good) - Som Tum (Good,tastes similar with the one in Thailand)
