i am a avid enthusiast for extremely spicy food, a colleague of mine and i dropped in here for dinner after a business venture, i must say of all the thai food restaurants i have been too the kitchen and waitress were very accommodating to my spice needs, i ordered a green curry with triple the amount of chilis added compared to the regular "extra hot" spice level and it was extremely excellent. i would highly reccomend ordering this is you love very very hot food. looking forward to visiting the next time me and my business colleague are in the area. 5 stars.

Love their $9 pad thai after 9 pm option. A good variety of late evening "happy hour" food options. Always fresh, "heat" is customizable, and generous portions. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

The food is incredible! The kitchen definitely has it perfected. Top faves besides the awesome happy hour and late night menu are the beef brisket noodle soup or the lamb massoman. The classic green curry and Tom yum soup are also on my regular rotation. The staff are all friendly. Tonight our server, Francesca, was such a delight! She had a full house and managed it all with grace.

"one of the best", as my dad calls this fabulous restaurant. The food is phenomenal, just as customer service and hospitality.The drunken noodles are perfect, paired with spring rolls and wok-fried side veggies, and a delectable mango sticky rice for dessert (probably seasonal for summer). Choose the spice level at your own risk, since spicy is really hot with raw Thai red chili peppers added in.

Our host was very patient , fun and friendly. They are able to accommodate our party that came on Friday Jan 16th of about 8-9 people. S55 was a flavourful clear beef broth with rice noodles and brisket - refreshing! Bathroom is clean. No issues with service or food and everyone got their order/ drinks around the same time.

Oak Bay Baan Thai is my dad’s favourite restaurant so we come here every Sunday. The food is always delicious and the portions are large. At lunch, don’t forget to ask for the complimentary soup and a $2 spring roll. Lei is often our server, and she is always welcoming, charismatic and knowledgeable of Thai food and culture.
