User Rating: 3 out of 5 starsFood is tasty, to go is good, gracious service. Sadly an "americanized" version of this beautiful cuisine but noteworthy.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAfter driving by this obscure little place on our way to St. Albans Bay on many occasions, a friday "date night" found my fiance and I eating at the Thai House restaurant. What a find!!!
We stopped in at about 7pm on a Friday evening and there were about 15 other diners in a nice, quiet dining area that could easily accommodate 3 times that number. The mixture of fresh flowers, real plants, fake plants, and "never been used" candles confused us. *Had the lights been a little dimmer, a lit candle would have definitely upped the ambience. Eh, what can you do- it was clean, but not immaculate.
To start, my fiance, Todd, was a little disappointed at the "no alcoholic drinks"- apparently you can bring your own- but the bargain priced appetizers helped us to forget it. We ordered both the spring rolls and a chicken appetizer, both for about 3.50 each. The spring rolls were excellent- obviously freshly made and an explosion of spicy, interesting flavor and the chicken (though made an odd greenish color) came on skewers with a delightful peanut sauce. Very yummy and set our hopes high for the meal to come.
The Thai waitress/owner was very nice and patiently (though with a little difficulty) explained to me how the curry dishes were prepared and I settled on a chicken curry with coconut sauce, carrots, etc over white rice while Todd ordered the walnut chicken dish(both were less than $14 each). Mine was listed as a one on the pepper scale of spicy (most others were two). Our meals came out, first a cup-shaped mound of rice on a plate (rather small serving- and white rice is cheap, right?Hmmm) and then two plates with very generous servings of our entrees.
I had to forgo my usual "reach for the pepper" as there was none on any of the tables (common in asian restaurants) and I was glad- the chef had seasoned both meals perfectly. My curry was delightful and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and chopped in aesthetically pleasing ways. The sauce was so good, perhaps the coconut milk cut the spice as it was good- but not what I expected for spicy at all. Todd's walnut chicken however, was actually quite spicy and also quite good.
We were so happy with the delicious meal we HAD to try dessert. He went with the fried bananas, meh, and I with the deep fried ice cream- yummy (both priced under $5 ea). We will definitely return to this restaurant and can only hope that our next visit is as satisfying as our first!
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsPrices are more than fair and the staff are friendly and extremely helpful in helping find a suitable spice level.
The restaurant is a little farther from the city, towards the lake. Thai music plays in the background creating a nice, relaxing atmosphere.
Best dishes - the Garlic Salmon, Drunken Noodles or the Pad Thai. There is a small children's menu and a nice selection of non-alcoholic beverages. If you want beer or wine, it is a BYOB establishment, but the owner provides you with openers and chilled glasses.
Thai House is a hidden gem that's definitely worth the trip.

I've discovered that it is generally standard for Thai in this area to have you BYOB. If you do bring some beer or wine, the owners happily provide chilled glasses and bottle openers. As for the chicken, it's marinated in Thai curry. That's why it is that unusual color. I agree on the rice comment, but then they use Jasmine rice, not the standard and Jasmine rice is more expensive, so that's why they don't provide as large a service.
