Eat Thai restaurant — Restaurant in Guelph

Update 20240503:

I am beginning to fear for the state of restaurants in Guelph. A few of our regulars are now turning into no go or on the edge.

This time the coconut rice came in a plastic bag that is an almost inedible chewy blob. I have never before needed a knife to cut my rice! Even then it is just going into the garbage because it is so bad.

The eggplant delight wasn't very delightful. Before had a beautiful mix of textures and flavors. This time an oily mushy mix.

Not much better can be said for the drunken noodles.

The only thing keeping me from dropping the rating to 1 stars was the fresh rolls. They were still tasty but small.

It will be a long time before I return.

Previous Edit:

I have changed my review from 2 stars to 5. I am accustomed to having to lower my expectations but in this case I have high praise. The owner read my review and apologized for the problem of not delivering food in a proper time. He asked for a chance to prove himself and I accepted. I am very happy that I did.

We arranged a pickup so as to avoid the constant problems with delivery. I arrived and announced I was there for my pickup and the owner came out to talk to me and apologized again. I drove home with the marvelous smells in my car.

When I opened the package there were 4 spring rolls, red curry with vegetables and tofu, Singapore noodles, and eggplant delight. There was also some white rice for the curry.

The red curry was fragrant, rich, and nicely spicy. The vegetables were cooked just right and kept their own character and contributed to the complicated flavors in the sauce. The tofu was nicely fried and had a nice texture. This was one of the best red curries I have had.

The Singapore noodles were a surprise. I expected some neutral flavored mix with veggies. Nope! These had a unique flavor like one can expect from good Thai food. Even the tofu had a different character than what was in the red curry. I will get this again without a doubt.

The eggplant delight was exactly that, a delight. The eggplant was beautifully sauteed and the whole dish had a completely different character and flavor profile. I did not expect this to be so good.

The spring rolls were good but were far out-classed by the rest of the meal.

I can give my highest recommendations for Eat Thai and I highly respect the owner for stepping up and correcting the problem I had before.

I will be back, many times.

Original review, now here only for continuity: I can't leave a 1 star because I didn't get a chance to taste the food. I ordered for delivery at 6:19 pm and had a confirmed delivery for 7pm. I received a message at 6:50pm that the food was ready. Around 7:10 I saw that the food was on it's way. Ok, not a big deal because it is Valentine's day and they are probably busy.

At 7:45 I gave up after trying to call them 2 times and getting nothing but an answering machine. My wife and I put a couple frozen pizzas in the oven because we figured they forgot us. Well, at 8:15pm the door bell rang.....

I am sorry to say that I refused the order and didn't pay. The delivery guy looked surprised and told me that the food was hot and fresh, 1 hour and 25 minutes after I was messaged it was ready. I want to feel bad but I really can't because waiting for 1 hour and 15 minutes after the food to arrive was too much and someone was lying about the times the food was ready or when it was dispatched.

Maybe in the future I will try this place again but my experiences with delivery in Guelph have not...

I ordered from Eat Thai on Oct 14, 2024, as my usual place was closed. I ordered the Tom Kha soup in the picture the broth is white. I like coconut broth soups. What came was red in color and had an orange taste to it. The description stated lenongrass there was no lemongrass. The vegetables were chunks of vegetables none were cut uniform in size. They looked as those they had been cut by a dull knife or ripped by hand. The taste was weird. A disappointment. I also ordered the Thai Red Curry with pork. Each piece of park and grissel on it and it was tough. I get the same dish at my usual place Thai Villa and the pork is tender sliced to the perfect thickness and I have never had fat or grissel. The Bok Choy was wilted before it was added to the dish, it looked like wet tissue paper. The vegetables in it were chunks once again and looked ripped by hand. This curry was different in flavor to the one I get at Thai Villa both descriptions are the same. Eat Thai's version lacks in presentation, taste and quality of ingredients. The curry had oil running through it i have never had that with Thai Villa which I have delivered. Had this been my first experience to Thai food I wouldn't try Thai again. Fortunately for me I have my usual place. Eat Thai you didn't even come close to the quality, presentation and taste of Thai Villa. This was a complete disappointment. The number of good reviews leads me to believe that the place is hit or miss or those that have an experience that isn't great dont take the time to...

I went to My Thai for the first time today and I had the Tom Yum soup which was exceptional. Every spoonful lifted the spirit and put a smile on my face. Im looking forward to go back and try some other dishes. Here I am writing again February 2, 2019 because I need to share my experiences with everyone who might be interested to eat here at My Thai Guelph..well, let me start by saying that since the first time I went to this quaint restaurant in Guelph, my wife and I are hooked. We have been going back at least once a week ever since. The food is simply amazing and every time we eat here, the craving sets in to go back only days later. It's really amazing because no other restaurant either of us has ever went to has had this affect on either of us. The freshness and the flavor that comes through with every bite to the amazing service I get, leaves me with a level of satisfaction and an impression in my mind that keeps me craving for more days after. I know that I can't get better value for flavor my money elsewhere in Guelph or surrounding area. So many times we have been out somewhere getting hungry and poder where to go and My Thai we always end up going to My Thai because the anticipation of getting that first bite is exciting....it really never gets old because every dish is great. The food simply speaks for itself and I know most that go here will be repeat customers it's just that...
