Thai Coconut - Ottawa

The only good thing about the place is the fish that listens to its owner and spins around in the fish tank, inside the restaurant......The set up for buffet was very shockingly disappointing for any restaurant of any standard, especially in Canada. There seemed to be no food safety measures in place.....food cold.....and worst part is that we went it at 2pm....if the buffet was closed, then don't serve us....we were offered a special price lower than the regular lunch rate, which was appreciated.....but when we picked up the food, it was not in any way Thai.....it tasted like a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine, with lots of nuts in couple of dishes....bland in all ways....not even close to any Thai cuisine, anywhere tried in all my travels across the globe.

The restaurant is tucked away on the side of the ground level of an apartment building. We came in for lunch at noon on a Monday. Some of the buffet items were low in quantity and rather fatigued. We did not find the food very tasty. There was an off smell to the restaurant itself and the place looked like it needed a new paint job.

The food is always delicious here. Dine in or Take out, the portions are large and fresh made. We've tried other places and keep coming back.

A friend recommended this place, knowing how much I like Thai food and I was not disappointed. He said I had to try the Thai Coconut Chicken and we were NOT disappointed. My husband also loved it. We also got red curry beef with the peanut sauce and it was excellent. Not similar to the red curry we normally get from our normal go to thai place but a very welcome change. I will for sure go back and try more dishes. Great new find plus they deliver and it is hard to find good thai delivery in Ottawa!

Ordered takeout, called ahead and was told would be ready in 15 minutes, when we for there we had to wait another 10 minuyes, 2 people were in the restaurant only, after order 6 items that cost 92.00 she asked us if we wanted rice with the order, we ordered two dishes that cam with rice, although pricey food was very tasty. Service need improvement which I think is why there was only 2 people there on a Saturday night
