Thai Sun

The food was very mediocre at best, I ended up eating only a few bites. Maybe I'm not used to this specific type of Thai, but I didn't enjoy it at all. The service and ambiance were great, so that was definitely good to see.

My brother and I were waltzing through uptown Waterloo and we noticed this establishment. With nowhere else to go and the indecisiveness on my part, we decided to eat here. We came on a Monday where the special is a Chicken/Veggie Pad Thai for $10, which is not bad. The service was quick, but that was soon to be the highlight of the experience. The "Pad Thai" sauce was runny, didn't balance the sweet, salty, spicy, and sour components that make up Thai food. It lacked a deep depth in flavour and had an odd undertone of butter. The saving grace of the dish was their homemade hot sauce that added some needed kick and extra zest.

Overall, if you are looking for cheap, quick, and unauthentic Thai food, stop by here. There are better places down the street if you are looking for a more authentic taste and experience.

Thai Sun is probably my favourite Thai food place in Waterloo. My dad came to visit me at uni and said that he was craving Thai food so I suggested Thai Sun. I had been there once before with my friends and really enjoyed it. I have gotten the green curry both times and it is great. They offer a house made hot sauce which I like because personally I don't find the base spice hot enough (my dad found it quite spicy so).

You gotta know what you're getting here: a somewhat inauthentic, slightly overpriced take on Thai food. If you can make your peace with that, your experience will probably be fine.

We were looking for a place with a patio, which is what drew us to this restaurant, and it does have a nice one! Service was good despite the restaurant being understaffed at the time.

My Thai iced tea was a nice option for a hot day but the balance on this version was a bit off -- I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I think it was more caffeinated? People who enjoy less sweet versions of this drink will like this more than me with my sweet tooth!

I asked for my chicken pad kee mao to be made extra spicy, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they didn't disappoint! It was a refreshing and well-flavoured dish. Lots of vegetables, light on the saucing but well-seasoned and I loved the addition of cut up chillies to sate my need for spice!

Overall this wouldn't be my first pick for Thai in Waterloo but it will do in a pinch.

My friend and I came here for lunch a few days ago, hoping to delight ourselves in a Thai favourite - pad thai!!! We both ordered a vegetarian version of the chicken pad thai lunch special (tofu pad thai with a vegetarian spring roll instead of coconut shrimp). Unfortunately we were both left disappointed as the flavours were not very prominent and the meal altogether tasted quite bland. I did enjoy the tofu pieces a lot, however, which is why I still thought a three-star rating was fair. I also thought it was nice of the chef to be willing to make a few swaps to change the pre-set lunch meal (some restaurants really aren't that flexible). Perhaps we ordered the wrong things from the menu! But if it's pad thai that you're after, I'd recommend you come to Toronto and try Khao San Road or Sukho Thai instead :)

Not a lot of food selection if I remember correctly. It has more of a western feel restaurant since all of the waiters are non-asian, and the lighting is very dim inside. It's an interesting atmosphere, and obviously catered towards Westerners.

I remember our food took a LONG time despite there not being a lot of people when we went since it was late at night. They also put some of their dishes on these rectangular plates that don't stay flat on the table, and you can't even eat on them properly. Don't think I'd go here again.

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.

I've only been here a few times but usually avoid it because it's overpriced.
I got their pad Thai recently. The flavour was pretty good BUT it was very watery. It wasn't saucey at all. I just don't expect pad Thai to be soup like. Is this normal at Thai Sun?

This is my go-to dinner place with my boyfriend and friends. We make every excuse to go here, and probably average going 3-5 times a month. I have tried the Beef Jerky appetizer, and the Red, and Green curries. I haven't tried anything else on the menu because the curries are so good! The vegetables are always fresh, and the food is always steaming when it comes out. I would also reccomend their ginger tea.

The service here is great, and the food comes out extremely fast (you never have to wait more than 10 minutes). Often the owner is there, and he will greet you as you come in.

I reccomend this restaurant to anyone looking for some great Thai food at a reasonable price.

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.
