Khao Yum Authentic Thai Cuisine

I am always on the lookout for good Pad Thai. I honestly can’t say that I’ve found any better than Naronge’s Chicken Pad Thai at Khao Yum in Manotick. The presentation is very nice. You almost don’t want to eat it for fear of ruining the look — almost.
The owner Naronge can customize your order for spicyness. Don’t like spicy — no problem.
Now I usually come to Khao Yum for their lunch specials and often don’t look at the menu. I just order the Pad Thai. Recently I asked Naronge to suggest something different. OMG am I glad he did. The light curry chicken is very nice. I had it served with noodles instead of the traditional steamed. rice. Now I have two favourites…
The restaurant is small with perhaps seating for 20 people but that adds to the atmostphere. It is very clean and pleasant. I suggest trying it for lunch but they offer Take-​out as well. Call ahead and pick it up on the way home.

This is a great little asset to the Manotick community. The service is friendly and takeout is very quick. I have ordered curries, noodles and spring rolls and have never been disappointed. This is our «go-​to» Thai restaurant.

Normally a huge fan, but it’s not the same. I typically order Pad Thai and Panang. The former lacks peanuts and bean sprouts. The noodles are soggy.
The chicken in the Panang is dry. The rice is soggy.
Something changed. This restaurant used to serve awesome food. It’s still okay, but something is different.

Great little authentic Thai place. Came on the recommendation of another family from our lacrosse team. And they have lived in Thailand.
Food came quickly, but service slowed as we were eating our meal and then finished. To pay we had to line up at the cash register.

The Real Deal. The food made me think I was back in Thailand, eating.
I was there with family (including a toddler), and we enjoyed each dish that was ordered. Some vegetarian, and a few vegan, options were possible.
We ordered:
–tom yum goong soup;
–satay appetizers;
–eggplant and beef dish;
–mixed vegetables;
and –rice.
If you’re sensitive to heat (spices), you’ll want to ask them to add zero fresh chilies.
They didn’t add much to my dish, but enough to give it a kick. My husband didn’t notice that.
Nice décor.
