Review from Arsalan M.
Ottawa, ON
Thai Sun is located in uptown Waterloo on King street, technically. Its located on the back part of the uptown Waterloo mall, at the intersection of Caroline st and Willis Way. So this makes this a lesser known Thai restaurant in uptown.
Our group of 8 people got there fairly later (45 minutes before closing) and the owner still decided to serve us, which is great. The overall service was great, the owner helped us pick dishes. The waitress checked up on us a few times and also helped us pick food. They waitress knew the menu very well, and was really helpful with picking vegan choices and looking out for nut allergies.
I ordered Thai iced tea with milk and Green Curry ( Thai long green beans, egg plant, basil leaves, baby onion and bamboo shoot). The food and drink was delicious. I mean it was tasty, had tons of different flavors and so many ingredients that i enjoyed.
The restaurant is a little bit pricier then the other Thai restaurant in Waterloo, but I would still recommend that people try it. -

If you want authentic Thai i wouldn't come here but the reviews that other people have posted do not do this place justice.
The 4 stars I posted might be a bit high but I need to help even out all the low reviews this place has received. A perfect example of not being authentic would be their pad thai. It is just too sweet. I like it still but its not the same. As a starter i always get the beef jerky (not very thai) but i love it.
The atmosphere is nice inside and i have always had good service when i am here. They do have a nice patio to eat on which is a big bonus if you want to be outdoors.
This isn't the best thai food around but its still good food. It just seems like they took a lot of thai dishes and made them more suitable for people who are less adventurous.
I would say try it. -

The food is pretty good, but I don't understand why their lunch specials are so expensive. I once ordered a pad thai to take home to my husband, after I dined with a friend at lunch, and ended up like $40 in the hole. Brutal!

Tastefully decorated, it feels a bit pricey for what you get but I find it's competent. I've been here a few times and most recently today for lunch (I've only ever come here for lunch). It's not that large of a restaurant though it has a nice deck during the summer.
They haven't changed their menu in the last 2-3 years since I've eaten here - and the specials have stayed the same though I think the prices have risen. There are 4 specials at $13.99 - and I typically have the Spinning Noodles (their version of Pad Thai) with Chicken and a Mango Salad (note that it's not a Green Mango salad) on the side. Both my client and I had the specials + a side of two fresh rolls (rice noodle wrap of white rice noodles + vegetables and shrimp with a vinegar dip) and it came to $48 pre-tip which is on the expensive side for lunch for the area not to mention they were lunch specials.
The spinning noodles (as pictured) were decent. I thought the noodles might have been just a tad hard but that's pretty subjective and it really was a light tamarind sauce - not too heavy.
Unfortunately Waterloo doesn't have very many or very good Thai restaurants. There's limited 1 hour free parking on the side street and a larger parking lot with paid parking. -

Not a lot of food selection if I remember correctly. The food is authentic Tha, but it has more of a western feel restaurant since all of the waiters are non-asian, and the lighting is very dim in there.
The wait-time is terrible though. I remember our food took a LONG time and there weren't a lot of people at the time since we went there very late at night. They also put some of their dishes on these rectangular plates that constantly move around and you can't even eat properly. Don't think I'd go there again. -

me and my friend ate here. The place looks like a shack. Anyways, the food is pricey, but it tasted ok. The tasty tofu is as expected, nothing mind blowing. The pad thai was way too sweet. Service is ok.

Decent thai fusion place. Atmosphere is OK, service is pretty good. Price is a bit high for the area, especially considering that there are quite a few other thai places which are just as good (or better) with a 10 minute walking radius. I go here when i'm in the mood for thai and am with people who don't necessarily like it. There are quite a few items on the menu that aren't super authentic. So, I get the curries and my friends get stuff like pad thai (the one they make is as authentic as sweet and sour chicken balls at a mall chain) or steak. So, although I don't come here super often, the place isn't bad and it definitely has a niche carved out for itself. As a caveat, stay away from the mango salad. I've sent it back twice because the mango's weren't ripe enough.

Had this review sitting in my drafts for over almost a year. I still remember my disappointment with this restaurant even after all this time. Besides the atmosphere and spacious outdoor seating, I was rather disappointed. The food is overpriced yet manages to under-deliver. I also found the service to be perfunctory.
If you must eat Thai food in the sun, then this will suffice. That said, if you want good Thai, go elsewhere. -

Pricey and a bland menu. I had their mango salad and it was very, very bad.
