I have been to this restaurant many times now. I am a Hong Kong Chinese so my taste is 100% pure Chinese yet I found the food here is very very tasty. I always lick
the plate clean so I don't know why Jennifer and Amanda have such bad reviews. Perhaps they have changed cook recently?
I have no complaint over the food or the price and there is NO MSG cause I don't get thirsty like I normally would after dining at a Chinese restaurant.
I am just worry this restaurant will not last long . There are never more than two tables full whenever I go . It closes at 7pm on Saturday. What restaurant would close at 7 on a weekend???
I think their biggest problem is the poorly designed lighting. This place always look 'closed' from the outside. They only hire ONE person to act as the host, the waiter, the bus boy..........as if the owner don't expect more than two tables at a time.
I bet their business will increase if they do something about the lighting. -

I went here on a Friday night. I had always passed it and wanted to stop by, so I did with three friends. I wish I hadn't.
The decor was nice, and we were seated right away. We decided to order the Spring Roll Platter ($10) that was supposed to have four different types of spring rolls on it. When it arrived, we thought they got our order wrong. It was a big pile of mango salad, with about 4 spring rolls cut in half. Not only were there only two kinda (chicken and shrimp curry?) but it was less spring roll platter and more mango salad with a side of spring rolls. We were really disappointed.
When the meals came, it was worse. I ordered a peanut pad thai, and it looked like something someone threw up. It was really gloppy and....gross. I ended up not finishing it. My friends were less than plussed with their food, although the stif fried rice seemed to be the best thing on the table.
The price and service was ok, but the food is terrible. That was the first and last time I would ever eat there again. -

California Thai has a few locations in Canada. This one is inside Markville Mall right next to Walmart.
The deco is nice and trendy with comfortable sofas and private sectional area for 2.
I went there for lunch. They have all day special for $7.99 which includes pop/tea/coffee. There are also a la Carte with Pho priced at $6.95.
I ordered the Tom Yum Noodle Soup with Chicken. The Tom Yum soup I found was too weak, not hot, not sour... a little bland. There were tons of fresh tomato they put in the soup, so I kind of feel like drinking a tomato soup instead. The noodle is the dry thin rice noodles.. of course I prefer the fresh ones!
The portion was quite small... I am still hungry after finishing the noodles...
I guess since California Thai is more geared towards Asian fusion, not the real authentic Thai/Vietnamese cuisine so the kitchen is taking really easy on the spices..
The services was great! My waiter was really attentive.
They do provide free Wi Fi services, just need to ask them for the password.
Accepts all forms of payment.
PS There is also a takeout area beside the restaurant.
