Thai Sun - Waterloo

Hidden gem for wholesome, comfort thai food. Do yourself a favour and visit on a day when the rain is drip dripping on the outside window. You’ll bite into your coconut shrimp and smile, as serenely as the buddha himself. Or visit on a warm sunny day and enjoy the patio. Either way you wont be disappointed as long as what you’re hoping for is a tasty, relatively simple dish.

We came here on a weekend for lunch and I’m not sure why this restaurant is so highly rated. I ordered a Pad See Ew with a Thai iced tea and my friends ordered the fried rice and another noodle dish and none of the dishes impressed us. The Thai iced tea was filled with ice and it completed watered down the drink which was very sad. I had chosen the spicy level and they just added chilli flakes on top of our dish which was absurd. My pad see ew lacked flavour and it was my first time having this dish served with gravy. We also struggled to get any servers attention and the service overall was subpar. This place does not serve authentic Thai food and was the most disappointing Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to in Canada.

Ordered Pad Thai, green curry, and the chicken wings. The flavours are pretty good.Pad Thai was a bit watery but still tastes good.Pretty disappointed by the fried wings portion size because the description said 1lb and in the box there was only 6 small wings (half a pound) for $16. Beware when ordering takeout.

Ordered the red curry. The curry was very creamy and flavour was full. However, the green beans in the curry were undercooked. Other vegetables were delicious. The waitress was friendly, but seemed very busy.

The spring roll was freshly prepared. It was crispy outside and steaming hot inside. The pad thai had too much sauce. The Cashew Chicken and Shrimp was tasty but it was just luke warm. Again, the yellow curry was not temperature hot enough. Service was good.
