“ A 10/10 discovery! The stuffed chicken wings and the fish had my tastebuds singing. We can’t stop raving about the food, service and mostly about just the sweetest couple who’s running this family owned restaurant. Highly recommend. ”

“ Best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to! Pad thai and mango salad was the best! Everything else was delicious and the portion was great. Clean and cozy. ”

“ Been here plenty of times and always leave happy and full. The portions to price is quite fair and a good value compared to other Thai places in the city. There are menu items you cannot find at other Thai places, because I think this restaurant is owned by Thai-Laotian? Anyway, my favourite is the Nam Khao Tod (Lao crispy rice salad with fermented pork), holy crap--if you love textural foods, you HAVE to try it! It is salty, sour, and complex flavours with crunchy rice bits, fresh herbs, chopped fermented pork sausage, pork skin, and wrapped in lettuce. Incredible value at $15.99 that can be enjoyed on its own or shared. For other foods, I like ordering the Laab/Larb, extra spicy. The curries are pretty delicious too, like the Massaman, peanut curry, and red curry (forgetting the names right now). The Lao pho is a must try for pho fans, the portion is huge and can be shared, and there is also a chicken noodle soup made with handmade noodles if that is more of your thing. We also tried the highly acclaimed soft shell crab curry in a yellow curry sauce, which I found to be okay. The curry sauce is tasty, but I found the soft shell crab to be overbattered (it is deep fried), and I can barely taste the crab inside. We found it to be too much and rich in carbs and wished we got more crab. Glad we tried it, but in our opinion, we found other dishes to be much more satisfying. If I had some criticisms about the restaurant and food, it would be that they are a bit heavy handed on the salt and would ask for less next time, especially if you are wanting to watch your sodium. As well, they removed paper menus and transitioned into tablet ordering which we are not a fan of. It doesn't allow for us to ask for customisations and defeats the purpose of just talking to a server. For example, they only have 3 spice levels listed, and the spiciest level on the tablet is basically a mild for us. Otherwise, the food is top notch. Service is attentive and prompt. Restaurant is immaculately clean. St. James is quite lacking in good Asian restaurants, so having Baan Thai in this part of the city is a treat. If we lived further away, it is still worth the drive. Try this place out if you want something different! ”
