Chaopaya Thai Restaurant - Barrie, Ontario

Khob khun ka ขอบคุณค่ะ A local, family-ran Thai eatery with under the radar solid tasting grub. I'd expect more tofu and broccoli from the Pad See Ew ผัดซีอิ๊ว, but what lacked there definitely made up in the authenticity through yummy flavor. The really lovely lady gave us a heads up their ... rice noodles (not the authentic fat wide rice noodles) were standard pad Thai noodles which I respect. The actual grub itself had a solid consistency and decent Thai cooking, don't be fooled by the aesthetics, the chow is groovy. Support local businesses! Read more

Barrie's best kept secret. Food is amazing, staff was amazing, location is great.

I've been coming here for decades, and every time I come here I wonder the same thing... How is this place not packed with people!? This is easily my favourite hidden gem in Barrie. As I write this, by belly is stuffed with one of the best pad Thai dishes I've ever ... had, combined with an emerald curry that was absolutely delicious. We ate way too much. And it wasn't busy! Friday night, and we were seated immediately and the food came quick. The owners are super nice, too. Highly recommend! Read more

The whole restaurant is well decorated with Thai art pieces giving a warm vibe. Food is authentic. Tom yum soap tastes especially good and golden curry is rich with coconut milk and not spicy at all.
