Came to Sweet Basil with a group and it was great!…read more We were greeted promptly at the door! The waiter asked us to wait while they prepared a place for us. Once seated, we ordered appetizers (fried dumplings & pad tofu) and our main course. The waiter was really good, because he waited 15 minutes after entering our appetizer before he entered our dinner. For my dinner, I ordered Pad Kee Maow (mild) with shrimp and chicken with a glass of wine. DISCLAIMER: If you're not a fan of spicy food, order MILD. MEDIUM is STILL really SPICY! The decor is really nice and I'm here for 3 more weeks and I'm definitely going back, if time permits!

My friend and I had lunch at Siam Bistro. It was cool that we found an eatery that she hadn't…read morevisited, so we could both experience a new place together. She has a review, so if you're bored reading mine, go read hers instead. I frankly wanted to simply say in this review to read hers and skip writing one... haha! We walked in. The lobby was beautiful and cozy, showcasing the Thai culture with dragons and more. We were seated pretty quickly. This restaurant had a lunch menu. Yay, deals! I got the gang garee gai. It was yellow curry with chicken and potatoes, in coconut milk, with steamed jasmine rice. My friend got the beef kao soi, which was a curry soup with noodles. We got a constant stream of iced water. Thank goodness! We were both in dire need of cooling down being out and about on a hot summer day. It also came in handy while we were dining. Our food didn't take long to prepare. I was excited to chow down. The gang garee gai was yummy. I liked the curry flavour. The chicken was tender. There were a few potatoes that lightly thickened the curry. I loved the subtle coconut milk in the sauce. The jasmine rice was perfectly done. The downside was that the curry was salty. My friend agreed with my assessment, as her soup was also salty. At least the sodium levels were consistent here. She also made the comment that her dish was lacking vegetables, except for a thin slice of red pepper. I could tell that this meal threw my thirst level off the rails for the rest of my day. I had six drinks after this meal, without counting the iced water refills here. I downed two consecutive bubble teas that night, which I rarely do. The positive from the salt increase in my system: I was not bloated afterwards. The washrooms are downstairs. It is an older building, so it's not built for accessibility. The washroom was clean. It's street parking here. You can probably find a side street to park for free. The service was excellent. If the salt is toned down, I'd return to try more dishes off the menu. Otherwise, expect to be thirsty all day after eating here. (287)

On the hunt to find good Thai food in Ottawa, I stumbled upon Sala Thai & based on the reviews I…read morefigured it was worth the try.

Starting with Chicken Satey skewers 4/5 peanut sauce was great Tom Yum Soup 1/5 this was our least favourite, it tasted like miso soup, & incredibly salty.

Pad Thai 3/5 it was ok (47) Gai Pad Med Mamuang 2/5 the sauce itself was a bit salty and watery which made the chicken taste as though it had been boiled and mixed with vegetables.

We also learned that ownership has changed which explains it. The ambience is nice and the service, when we went was great, but we got there early and there was nobody else eating, so there's that. I still recommend Sala Thai and if you like this cuisine and haven't yet tried this restaurant, you're missing out. Parking is easy [I'm from New York City so all Ottawa parking is easy] and you need to try it. You don't need a reservation, especially if you go early.

I found the noodles a bit over cooked (too soft) but the pork was very flavourful and the spring roll was crunchy and piping hot. Their broth is served hot, I'm used to it being cold. But no difference to me. Maybe prefer it cold because the dish is almost like a refreshing salad but very filling.

Willie's is a bit of distance from my neighbourhood but I tried it several years ago after I found other places too expensive and/or inconsistent and a family member recommended them. The food is always great -- good portions, fresh and flavourful. And I haven't done a precise comparison but I believe they are between 15-35% cheaper than any of the other Asian restaurants I've tried in the east end. I know it's a bit unfair to compare different types of take-out. But when some places charge over $100 for a two-person dinner order and you barely get fed (most of the Indian, Thai and pho take-out places and many of the Chinese restaurants), and I still can get at least FOUR full meals out of a $75 Willie's order (and usually a bit more), I know where I'M gonna put my hard-earned take-out dollars.
