I used to love my experiences at Baan Thai. I probably have eaten there 100 or more times in 20 (? or more) years. Matthew has run a great restaurant in the past and whenever something did go wrong, he made good on it right away. Ambiance has stayed consistently great, although turnover of staff and kitchen crew seem more like a revolving door these days. Since covid, the food feels cheaper, mistakes are much more common in terms of ordering, quality and pick ups as well. After about a dozen disappointing experiences, almost all in a row, I have sadly resolved to no longer visit what used to be our favourite "go-to" place. The new more expensive menu prices unfortunately do not reflect improved quality. I don't know how many stars to give. I like to be a positive person, so for the benefit of the doubt, I will give three.

Food was not what i was expecting, too salty. I understand that Thai cuisine is supposed to be bold flavour but it shouldn’t taste saltier than sea water. Got full from drinking my glass of water. Ingredients were very fresh otherwise. Also i felt the prices were a little too expensive (especially 4-5$for a small bowl of rice). Server had BO which made the experience not enjoyable.At least they had mango sticky rice which we got for takeout, jury is still out on that one.Unfortunately i will not be going back.

I ordered C3 based on the reviews, W4 and N4 based on the waiter's recommendation, and ordered A3 myself. The red curry chicken was great, and W4 beef stir-fried with vegetables had a good Chinese flavor. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Ordered take out for 645 on monday night with more then an hours notice. Showed up at 640 and didnt get my food until 705. Might as well of gotten a table at that point. Otherwise food is always good.

I will not be coming back here anymore.. plenty of other decent Thai restaurants in Victoria and this place is not one.This restaurant use to be great for food, atmosphere and the staff. However after my recent visits they either get my order wrong or I wait over an hour longer than quoted. The staff don’t seem to care nor management.Dine in not recommended either, you will be waiting ages for a table (even when it looks empty) and when you finally get one it’s dirty..This place urgently needs some organization.

Do not recommend. Offensive service… no one knows what they’re doing… how to serve or any knowledge of the cuisine. Management are even worse… they are never there to deal with any of the problems or actually train their staff.. Please address this as the food is usually good but not worth the hassle. For the prices you charge this is not acceptable.

The food is decent, but I've noticed inconsistency in their flavors. Sometimes the pad Thai is excellent, while other times it tastes completely different. However, their fried pork and other wok dishes are consistently great. It's definitely one of my go-to spots.

They don't offer our favourite dish, Masaman Gai, anymore... It's now served with lamb, but it's WAAAAY too expensive.
My wife and I walked here for lunch with 2 other friends. We were at a highschool nearby for our daughter's volleyball tournament and had a 2hr break between games. We found this place on Google map. We like Thai food so decided to give it a try since the pho place next door was closed. Food and service was decent. Price may be a bit on the high side for what you are getting. Feels like we were eating a a food court case they were play music that you would listen to on the radio. Food came out within 10min after we ordered since we were the only ones in the restaurant. I like spicy food so the red curry with chicken was tasty.If you are hungry and don't mind spicy food, give this place a try.

Excellent service, nice experience. The food was very good, except my husband's noodles were slightly undercooked. We let the server know and he apologized profusely and offered to have another plate made up, but we didn't feel that was necessary.

Terrible service. Currently writing this sitting at the bar waiting 40 minutes past when I was told the food would be ready for pick up. I get it, if the kitchens busy sure, but give me a realistic wait time here. Incompetent service, everyones running to the back, noone up front. Yeah just avoid the headache.
