Bangkok Cuisine is a Kitchener Thai restaurant whose strongest case is practical and menu-led: tamarind Pad Thai, coconut Peanut Curry Noodles, a serious spice scale, take-home curry sauces, and enough vegan/gluten-free flexibility to make the meal easier to plan.

Northern Thai is a family-run Queen Street Thai restaurant in Kitchener, operating since 1997 with Seng in the kitchen and Ti at the front. Pad Thai, Green Curry, Khao Soy, Chiang Mai Curry and Four-Flamed Fish give the menu real range beyond a simple takeout board.

Pho Dau Bo is a long-running King Street East Vietnamese-and-Thai standby built around pho, Bun Bo Hue, vermicelli, rice plates, weekend soups, and generous everyday value.
