After reviewing most of our Thai restaurants in town, I've sadly concluded we're lacking a little in this department. Hopefully my list will help those looking navigate through the not so good spots and find something they think is oh so good. (And I know I'm missing a couple, but I'll get to those guys yet).

It is truly fantastic that we have a Thai restaurant in Victoria (ok Sidney, but still) worthy of 5 gleaming, glorious stars.

Sometimes I have to eat here just because of the enticing aromas that waft out of their kitchen. Baan Thai is my neighbour. My dozens upon dozens of visits have concluded that Baan Thai is the best Thai restaurant in Victoria. This hasn't always been…More »

Sookjai Thai used to be sooo dreamy delicious. That was a couple years ago. Their old chef Thai Mike made panang like no other. He is now gone. I shed a small tear when this happened as their food quality flew south, and not just for the winter.…More »

To be honest I've only ever had the phad Thai here. I almost want to give them 4 stars, but my experience with them is too limited to go that far.
