Reviews
The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The curry and noodle dishes were especially flavourful, savoury, and authentic — everyone at our table loved what they ordered. The coconut cake dessert was okay, but we appreciated the honesty when we asked for mango sticky rice and they let us know the mangoes were still sour and didn’t want to serve something subpar.
The interior is gorgeous, the wait staff were friendly, and overall the experience felt very authentic. Prices are a little higher for the portion sizes, but the quality makes it worth it. Definitely one of the better Thai spots in Ottawa!
The 2 mains were the Har Mok and the Pad Thai. The Har Mok was amazing! Its one of my favorite curries and this was was sooo good. We had it with salmon and the fish was cooked to perfection, flakey and moist. The Pad Thai was sweet and delicious. The noodles had the perfect bounce and the chicken was moist and cooked to perfection.
Definitly cant wait to come again.
We had the fried pork belly and chicken satay as appetizers.
The pork belly was both crispy and juicy. The satay chicken was beautifully spiced (not pictured) and the peanut sauce was rich and flavourful.
For the entrée we had Pad Thai and Salmon Har Mok Baithong. The Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Har Mok was tasty and had just a hint of spiciness. We ordered it with a level 1 spiciness as we weren’t sure what to expect.
Overall this was a definite win. The atmosphere was quiet. The couches were very comfortable.
The staff did remake the dish and removed the charge, which I appreciate. However, when I ate the second dish, I felt significant anxiety and stress, constantly worried that I might accidentally bite into something unsafe again. This made it very difficult to enjoy the meal at all.
Even though the issue was addressed, the experience was already compromised. Food safety incidents like this can have a lasting impact on a customer’s sense of trust and comfort.
I’m not blaming any servers or services, servers were very nice and helpful, the back kitchen and food prep should be really improved and this really scared me and my friends.
We had a 7 PM reservation for three on a packed Saturday night. While I understand the challenges of a full dining room, the service delivery was unacceptable and made for a stressful two hours.
The issues began immediately with our drinks. We ordered cocktails shortly after being seated, but 40 minutes and three separate follow-ups later, they finally arrived. Waiting nearly an hour just to get a sip of water or a cocktail is a huge failure on a Saturday night.
The chaos continued with the food. We had to follow up twice for our meals. When they finally started coming out, only three of our four dishes arrived. After finishing the three plates, we had to initiate a third follow-up for the missing beef noodles. It seemed the order, likely forgotten by our blonde-haired server, was never correctly put in. Frustrated, we asked to cancel the final dish, and, ironically, it arrived about five minutes later.
While the majority of the food tasted genuinely good, the pork belly was served cold and hard, suggesting it had been sitting waiting for the rest of the order.
The restaurant must address its table management. By failing to deliver even drinks in under 30 minutes, they tie up tables unnecessarily. Getting guests served and turned over efficiently is crucial on a packed night.
The service was so consistently slow and disorganized that it overshadowed the kitchen’s efforts. Due to this experience, we will unfortunately never return to Khao.
Overall it was a great experience. What would really elevate this place is if there was sound insulation, the heat was turned on a little higher during winter/cold temperatures outside, and appetizer prices matched the portion.
Recommend getting their fried rice, pad Thai, and all the appetizer soups!
Thank you for the food and service!
