Amazing food and decor I felt like I was back visiting Thailand. Kudos
August 15, 2013We come down from Peterborough where we have 4 Thai specific restaurants. It is well worth the drive to Port Hope. I wish they would open one in Peterborough. It could cause some serious concern for the other Thai restaurants in Peterborough and really make peterborough residents salivate.

A Gem in downtown Port Hope
August 09, 2013
We took a party of six without a reservation on a Saturday night and were lucky to get a table. Many others have found out about this little Thai restaurant on the main street in Port Hope.
If you're looking for the average "sweet and sour" served on rice, this is not the place to come. The extensive menu is...

Better than any Thai food in Toronto
August 04, 2013
We make regular trips to Port Hope just to go to this restaurant. The food is always tasty, fresh and very authentic. Sammy, the owner, is a little sweet fireball from Thailand and she knows how to a run a restaurant!
The lunch specials are particularly good value for the money but dinner is also very reasonably priced. The Mussman...

Lovely exotic decor with good food
August 01, 2013
My daughter & I ate lunch here while visiting Port Hope on a theatre package mid June.
We overheard someone mention that they had a $9.99 lunch deal so decided to do that rather than have dinner there.
The restaurant is so exotic & beautiful & our server looked lovely in her long blue gown
which unfortunately I didn't take...

Best in Cobourg area
July 26, 2013Thai food was excellent - large menu with many choices. Our waiter was patient and even brought extra curry chicken spring rolls so each of our party of 6 could try them. Chicken satay was good as an appetizer too. Mani courses were authentic and wonderful mixture of tastes from traditional pad thai to green curry to mango pineapple pork/shrimp.... more

Delicious green mango salad
July 17, 2013We had a fantastic meal here. We shared the mango salad and then soup followed by our entrees. Everything was delicious and the service was very, very good. Highly recommended!

Dinner great,don't go for lunch
May 21, 2013Maybe the chef changes at lunch,but the difference in food is noticeable. My husband and I have frequented this restaurant since it opened a few years ago.

Love this place
May 10, 2013
Absolutely amazing. Been here twice and ordered different things both times and not at all disappointed. Mango salad is amazing, so fresh and flavorful and very large for an appetizer.
Pad Thai is superb as is the veggie stir fry. Spring rolls were a huge hit with my friends.
Service is great, food is served very fast. Servers are nice...

A definite favourite
March 20, 2013Have had dinner here (eat-in) many times and I've never had a bad experience. Sammy, the owner is an excellent hostess. She greets EVERYONE with a warm friendly smile, not just her friends and regulars, like so many other local restaurants. Once she was understaffed so service was very slow, but Sammy acknowledged and apologized for this and gave us... more

Great food - love to take-out thai
March 14, 2013Since we have had kids most of our visits to Bulai have been for take-out. The food is consistent and always outstanding. They are very receptive to special orders (ie. pad thai w/out egg). Amazing and flavourful food!

Gone Downhill
February 11, 2013
I used to really enjoy this restaurant but over the last few months it has gone downhill. The last 3 orders were very disappointing:
1) Ordered take out 30 minutes ahead, had to wait an additional 40 minutes once I arrived because they lost my order. No apologies or discount.
2) Ordered Veggie Pad Thai, went to pick it up...

Food was great however service a tad slow
November 03, 2012Ordered the crispy beef dish extra spicy. It was very good as was my wife's peanut chicken. The only negative comment was of the slow service. It was 20 min before we saw our vegetable spring rolls (app; also great) and then another 20 for the main course. We found this a bit excessive considering we were initially the only... more

Everything about this lunch was good
September 03, 2012The only negative was the flies ( not that many but annoying ). It was a hot day so the door was open. A screen door would solve this problem. Otherwise a very nice lunch. Betty Ellery.

Amazing, Authentic Thai Food
August 07, 2012This is the best Thai food I have ever had (and I have tried a lot of places). The owner is from Thailand and her food proves it. Service is great and staff are very friendly. We are so happy that there is now take-out in Bowmanville, so we can enjoy it more often!

Great food, kind of cheesy decor
July 29, 2012
This was a great little thai place to eat that really loves their guests. The food was interesting and tasty, and had great value. The decor was a little off the wall, and obviously done themselves, but it kind of added to the entire eating experience.
It doesn't look like much from outside, but its worth trying out.

Worst Service Ever
May 14, 2012Delicious food, but the worst service ever. They did not give us menus, and took our drink orders. Waited 30 minutes for drinks, then had to get up and get our own menus. Then we ordered vegetable spring rolls and they brought chicken springrolls 3 times. Worst thing was that our waiter wouldn't even address the problem. We had to... more

So So
May 06, 2012Big family dinner party. Buffet style dishes for all. Food was OK, nothing great. I've had Thai food in quite a few places and thought this place was missing a few key ingredients for the true taste in the dishes I tried. Namely basil and sweet chilies. Portions were good though and the ability to supply some guests with Vegetarian... more

A welcome addition to Bowmanville
April 26, 2012
My family recently tried Bulai and we were all pleasantly surprised.
I look forward to trying it again soon.
Having just moved from Toronto I really miss all the food options that were available, and am delighted that Bowmanville has a Thai restaurant on par with anything the city offers.
The food was very good, reasonably priced, and portions were...

Bowmanville location
January 25, 2012The Bowmanville location (only take out) is an excellent diversion from Bualai's Port Hope location. I love the food, but the service needs more work!!...long waits (even when I've phoned in advance) and they never seem to know if a customer has paid for their food or not, but I think this is lack of experience driven. I hope it... more

not authentic, fresh and over priced
December 29, 2011I ordered from the new 'takeout only' location 9 King St East in Bowmanville. I found the pricing to be quite high compared to other Thai restaurants in Toronto and Oshawa, but decided to give it a try. I ordered: #1 spring roll, #14 mango salad, #43 tamarind fish, #54 peanut chicken, #151 Chicken glass noodle. Myself and family were... more

It is a small dining room with lavish, authentic Thai decorations, so I wouldn't take a large party unless you call ahead and make arrangements.

Truly authentic atmosphere and good food
April 12, 2011
Service - Very efficient and accommodating with a baby.
Food - Good value. Ordered peanut chicken and it came with a side of rice and spring roll and lemon grass soup starter. Good quality food. Soup and chicken both had lots of heat.
Atmosphere - beautiful, colourful - artwork, wood pieces and table linens.

Better than the best toronto has to offer
February 03, 2011Awesome service and the food is fantastic, never dissapointed... one of the most extensive menues I have ever seen. Must try's: coconut soup, clear lemongrass veggie soup, spring rolls, thai baskets, calamari with sweet chillie dipping sauce, crispy chicken, basil chicken and the curry dishes are out of this world. Be back soo Sammy!! Paul, Newcastle
