Red Papaya Thai & Grill - Guelph, Ontario

I was very sceptical about this place because I had the feeling they didn't know what they want to be: A bar? A Thai restaurant? A Wrap/Sandwich place? A Vietnamese restaurant? I usually avoid such places. However, a friend convinced me to have the Pho there. The staff was very friendly. To my ... surprise: The Pho was very good. One of the better pho places in Guelph! My wife loves the Pad thai as well. So, I can recommend the food. Read more

We went for a live music performance and dinner. A nice experience despite some issues. Staff seemed to have no idea of the music logistics despite it being the 2nd night for the band which resulted in us arriving 2 hours before the band started. Food was very good.

The food is fantastic, but their live entertainment is amazing! Great supporters of local musicians, allowing promoters to put on a wide variety of entertainment, from open mic, metal and punk rock, even wrestling! Always a good time here!

We booked a reservation on Monday for a Friday night meal with my family to celebrate a birthday. Everything seemed fine, we even called to push the reservation back by 30 minutes on the day of, and they were very accommodating. We arrived on time for our meal and noticed ... the restaurant was PACKED full of people, but the tables were stacked on top of each other. As we approached the entrance, a full-sized WWE-style WRESTLING ring came into view. We were turned down at the door because, unbeknownst to us, it was fight night for an amateur wrestling entertainment group. I was disappointed that we didn't get to eat here, and disappointed in the service, but the atmosphere was electric and at least I got a good story out of it! I will try to eat here again soon so I can leave a more accurate review of the food and service. Read more

A bit of a hidden gem to non-Guelphites. Their menu has a lot of variety, yet my food tasted incredible! I recommend any of the curries! I came early evening and the place was very quiet. The staff are very friendly and the place is clean. The lighting is just ... right. Not too bright, and the sunlight from the mall also filters in too. There is live music some nights so I would like to return for that! Read more
