ThaiPas - Ottawa

The Second Cup at this location offers a unique experience compared to its downtown and suburban counterparts.

I typically don't write reviews for chain restaurants, but I really enjoyed the charming atmosphere of this location.

As a lover of Thai food, I cannot believe that I had never heard of this place. Great small venue with an urban but relaxed vibe. Got together with a group of friends here and all I can say is WOW! The Salmon curry served in a coconut shell with jasmine rice on the side - my perfect heaven. Tastes of what my friends had - Thai omelette, ribs, shrimp - absolutely everything was delicious. I couldn't have alcohol, so was accommodated with a virgin mojito that was incredible. Love the range of choices from smaller plates to larger dishes, and was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the prices are for this quality of food.

I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for a long time and I wish I had done so earlier! I went with a few friends for a birthday celebration and our server went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after and had a great time. He did not disappoint. The food was superb, with a great variety of drinks and wine. The ambiance was really trendy and modern. I will definitely be returning!

I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem. I walk by the restaurant daily, and passed it by as the name didn't intrigue me. A few weeks ago, a friend told me she loved the food, and my next lunch opportunity, I decided to check it out.The decor made me smile, as it reminded me of little lounge spots from my Shanghai days. It has more of a drinks, and night out place than lunch....yet it's fun for the neighbourhood. The menu selection are small plates, and main plates. I smiled again when the complimentary shrimp chips were brought to the table. I ate these often as a little girl, and it's the first time I've seen it served in a restaurant. I had coincidentally made some at home the week before. I began with the chicken satay and peanut sauce, and it was very tasty. Just enough to whet the appetite. My tastebuds rocked with the red curry shrimp. So flavourful, spicy, delectable! The portion size was just right accompanied with steamed rice. The flavour punch was a very pleasant surprise. I ate every little bite.I will most definitely return, and even check out the late night offerings as of 11pm, with a drink or two.
