Stratford Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Stratford

A lovely eatery smack in the middle of the beautiful town of Stratford. The patio is spacious and perfect on a sunny day. The indoor ambience is also cosy, although a bit dated. On our way back home from Grand Bend, we decided to stop here for lunch as this seemed to have great reviews and ratings and we were certainly craving Thai flavours. Overall, we enjoyed the lunch. The snow coconut and pumpkin soups were delectable. Good portion size for 1 person. My husband ordered the butterfly pea iced tea and I ordered myself some OG green tea. My husband eloquently described the iced tea, "this tea is like a peacock, a visual treat to the eyes but really does nothing otherwise". It was rather tasteless or extremely faint flavours, if there were any. Now, on to the main course, we ordered curry pad thai with chicken and green curry with tofu. The pad thai was tasty, good flavours and sufficient portion for 1 person. The green curry did not live up to its mark. It was a watered down version of what could have been an excellent curry. The creaminess of a quintessential green curry was completely missing and the flavours tasted quite diluted.

Apart from the disappointing green curry, we had a good lunch. Service was friendly and prompt. If I'm in the area again, may skip this one. I would recommend the restaurant, just not...

My fiancé booked a reservation here for this evening because we got engaged today, which the staff knew about. We showed up to our reservation 10 minutes early and as we walked in they told us they gave our seat by the window to someone else who walked in a few minutes prior without a reservation, and that we'd have to wait a few minutes for them to set us up a table. We were sat in the very back at a table meant for four. We then ordered calamari as a starter which was $12, and said it came with 13 pieces (an oddly specific number, but I digress). It came with 10 pieces, half of which were small, so we literally paid over a dollar a piece. After ordering our food, we were never checked on and no one came by to refill our waters. This whole time, we didn't get a single congratulations or anything, even though my fiancé stressed that he wanted this evening to be special for us. Overall, it was an extremely disappointing experience considering how much we paid. The reservation was booked a week in advance, so it's odd they gave away our table a few minutes BEFORE our reservation time.

This used to be my favourite restaurant in Stratford and my family had gone for years- now it seems they're more interested in making money than providing good service. I will...

I regret coming here for my special day. The food was just barely edible.

The salad was extremely sour, and the rice crackers were soggy. The rice ball was okay, but I had no interest in the second one. The chicken wings were lacking in flavor and texture. The puff was undercooked and tasteless on the inside. As for my curry, oh my curry. The flavor was lackluster and seemed to be stuck in the middle of something and went nowhere. To make more matters, my curry contained nothing but six pieces of shrimp swimming in a sea of curry, without a single vegetable.is it new way??

+the beef dish wasn't mine, but the feedback from others wasnt good.

++We felt so off that we didn't want to give up on the experience and asked the chef for a special dish, whatever he wanted to cook for us…. This is where we realized that coming here was a mistake after last dish.

Regarding the service, serving at the table was fine, but it seemed like the people who came to pick up food were having a hard time. Everyone had to repeat their name and order to all three girls at the front. They didn't seem to communicate or coordinate, and it felt like they were all over the place. Better...
