Have been to Coconut Thai several times over the years, but I have recently been disappointed with my last two orders. Portion size has gone down, and the young man at the front counter comes across as tho he does not wish to be there, and the flavor of the pad Thai has significantly changed.
Around father's day I placed a rather large order so did not check the bags upon picking them until I was home (across town) to realize one of the items we ordered was not in the bag, but was on the bill.
My most recent two dinner combination order is when we noticed the difference in portion as well as the re-attempted pad Thai, to which was gummy in texture and hosted a completely different flavor to what we had experienced in the past. We were impressed with how many prawns were included in the pad Thai as we opted for the prawn pad Thai, planning to not be hopeful about how many prawns we would actually recieve. To our surprise there was a hardy helping of prawns amidst the dish.
We also noticed the spring rolls lacked flavour but we're the perfect level of crisp.
The salad served in our to go dishes were wilty and placed under neath the spring rolls, which were hot when placed in the box. (That might explain...

I ordered ThaiHot and was disappointed to only receive meh hot. I should have ordered a fish dish. Dishes were plentiful and rice was included.
Value was also bang on as 6 people ate very well for $150. Gave 25% tip for very welcoming service even tho we were the second last costomers of...
   Read moreWould have given it more stars are the food is really good. We ordered a few dishes for take out. It had been our first time eating here. We asked for the dishes to not be spicy at all as we were feeding it to our son. When we received the dishes they put the wrong seafood in my padtai, which meant I couldnât eat it and our other bowl was very spicy. I called later to get it corrected and it was a long time before they agreed to fix the matter. They informed me that the one dish was already spicy so they didnât add extra. I said when I was ordering on the phone and talking to the person about non spicy options this was when they should have informed me this. We were very disappointed in the way they handled our meal. We hand to convince them to bring us a new pad Thai as it was their mistake , they didnât replace the dish we couldnât eat. They offered us coconut milk which...
