Located in uptown Waterloo, My Thai has a fairly unassuming and small front to the restaurant. However as soon as you step inside, you realize it is quite a large establishment. The interior is nicely decorated, nothing over the top. Dim lighting and light music.
The service at My Thai was in one word great. The server was quick, had lots of tips about the dishes and easily accommodated for different dietary needs.
The best part of the dining experience however was the food. The food simply delicious. The green curry had tons of flavor, and a good amount of ingredients. The portion size were more than satisfying. Overall My Thai delivers great food, service for a very reasonable price.
I would definitely visit again. -

I eat at my thai a lot so i know the good and the bad about this place however, there is very little in the bad column.
The food is great. I love the Pad Thai here and get that a lot but i have tried most of the menu and have not found anything that i do not like yet. It is all great. If you are getting take out this is the place to go.
The eat in experience is a little different. I would recommend sitting in the front room off of kind because the atmosphere is better in this room. The back room just doesn't have the same feel. My biggest issue is that sometimes when i go here the service is slow. Getting drinks, taking orders, getting the bill all takes longer then expected. I don't like to be rushed by the server but this is different. It just takes long but with good company and lots of time it shouldn't matter to much because the food is great. -

After hunting high and low for a parking space (where do people find places to park near this area of Uptown Waterloo?!) - I walked into My-Thai just 40 minutes before closing.
I had set my heart on Thai food, and chose this place after reading the Yelp reviews. However, if I wasn't so determined to try this place, and also wasn't starving after a long work day, I may have been turned off by the 'we're closing soon' comment from the waitress (and disdained look I got when I said I knew, and would be quick since I was dining solo).
However, from there out, the food was so great I overlooked the rushed service. And the waitress' attitude did get a bit better...
I ordered the Thai rolls to start - it's not often that places go wrong with fried spring rolls, and My Thai certainly didn't. They were excellent, and I really liked the chicken filling. I also got the My-Thai cocktail, which was vodka, mango and cranberry juice. Yummy! For my entree, I debated about being more adventurous, but couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that I needed to order the Emerald Chicken Curry - and holy smokes, I'm glad I listened to my instincts! The coconut curry sauce was magnificent, and had just the right amount of spice. There were a plethora of delicious, perfectly cooked vegetables (snow peas, green beans, baby corn, carrots, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower...phew!) alongside lovely tender pieces of chicken. Best green curry I've ever had. Hands down.
And best of all, it is affordable too.
I will be back on a future visit to Waterloo. Definitely. -

Whenever I visit Waterloo, I get their green curry rice dish with a coconut shrimp appetizer. omgggg their coconut shrimps are soooooooooo to DIE FOR. Service has never been disappointing. It's clean. The decor is Thai themed. I've been here 10+ times. Price is reasonable too. You could have lunch for under $12.

Everytime I go to this restaurant, it is rarely full or busy and I always wonder why. The food is great and the servers are quick, nice and helpful. Then I realized why ... there are no Yelp reviews for this place!
I'll be the first (and hopefully many will follow) to say that I love this place! Hands down, this is the best restaurant to get Thai food in Waterloo.
Decor: The front of the store has many Thai-influenced decorations such as statues of elephants and there is faint music playing in the background to complete the 'Thai' ambiance. There are a few (7/8?) tables in the front which fill up first, and there is a back section to the restaurant which opens up a lot more tables during those busy hours. This restaurant is a great place to bring a date (get a 2-person table by the window and watch locals stroll down King street), host a birthday party (tables accommodating large crowds in the back), or just have casual lunch or dinner with some friends!
Food: AMAZING! My favourite dishes are the Pad Thai and the Emerald Curry with Shrimp. The Pad Thai is made perfectly. It is not too dry, not too spicy and has the right amount of meat and veggies to perfectly complement the dish. The Emerald Curry is their most popular curry dish, I believe, and for good reason -- it is incredibly tasty! For appetizers, I like the calamari. If you're not sure what to get, they have an appetizers sampler dish! Also, they have vegetarian and gluten-free options for those with stricter diets.
Price: For the quality of the food, I'd say everything is fair-priced. They have some great lunch specials that include rice (normal entree dishes do not come with rice!) for about $10. Overall, you can get a delicious and filling meal for around $15 per person for dinner, and $10 per person for lunch. Students: if you have that coupon booklet for students, they have a 13% off coupon in there! Awesome value.
Overall, I have no complaints about this place! It is a great little restaurant with amazing service and equally amazing food. -

I am definitely a fan of My Thai. Taken many friends here before.
The food is great, the price is affordable, and it's never been busy when I went so the service was superb. I haven't been let down by any of the dishes here, and I've been back a good 5 - 6 times.
Getting a small table by the window and watching the locals stroll by is indeed a nice passtime, as someone already mentioned.
My Thai is a great place to go for a non-expensive dinner in uptown Waterloo. Its a must-try if you haven't already.
