Reviews Summary
Niagara's Finest Thai receives praise for its authentic flavors, especially the red curry, and its attentive service from staff like Carol and Sue. While many enjoy the culinary experience, some diners find the portion sizes to be small relative to the price, and a few have noted inconsistencies in certain dishes or less vibrant flavors in soups. Despite these criticisms, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking quality Thai cuisine in the area.
"It was to be expected for this place to be a little on the busier side, since it’s Mother’s Day, but the service was still outstanding! The food was great, I got my food within a reasonable amount of time, the service was great. I couldn’t ask for more than that!
Definitely a place to come and check out if you’re in the area. Worth your time, worth the money, worth the experience!"

"I’d recommend making reservations. The main courses were very good. Price point is high for portion size but within reason for being in the heart of Niagara on the lake. The ambiance is nice, and it’s a beautiful, convenient location. When we went in, it wasn’t very busy, but the service was lagging at times. Very polite staff. We ordered “After 8” martinis, and when they were brought to us we were told the garnish and the after 8 chocolates were all out. It was disappointing and we wish we had of been told before they were made and brought to us so we could have had the option of changing our order."

"Had dinner at Niagara Finest Thai. It wasn’t the best dining experience overall. The red wine sangria was a bit too sweet and overpowering for my taste, and the coconut soup tasted more like milk than rich coconut flavor. The ambience was okay, comfortable but nothing standout. Still giving 4 stars as the service was decent and the menu had variety, but there’s definitely room for improvement 🤗"

Where to Eat in NOTL » Food
But if you’re in town for longer and just want some really good food, my actual favourite dinner spot in town is Niagara’s Finest Thai. It seems like a strange place to get thai food but their red curry is the best I’ve ever had. Spicier than most, the sauce accompanies much higher quality beef than you usually find in thai curries and though extra rice is a whole $5, it’ll last you at least two meals if you add it.
