Water Lily Cafe

I have been coming here for years. I love it. I don't have a favorite meal but I order the summer rolls every time.

This is some of the best food I've ever had and the best Thai food.

I had a great experience at Water Lilly Cafe. The quaint cafe was medium size and decorated well. There are no paper menus and the menu is on a board and a digital option was provided in the form of a QR code. The ambiance and music gave a calming vibe. The service was great from when I walked in the male server was friendly and attentive. He also has great hearing as I made changes as he was walking away.
The beef pho was delicious. The soup being deeper in color than I was used to. I think that’s because the rare beef was different than other restaurants. It was rich in flavor, easier to chew, and more kid friendly. I cannot wait to bring my daughter here because she loves pho but the rare beef at some places have made her choke in the past. The veggies in the pho was fresh and good just what I like. Sriracha and hoisin sauce provided. The veggies come in the soup so if you don’t want that option best to say it ahead of time. They have big portion sizes, I got a small pho and it was more pho than I was expecting. The pho was really delicious I cannot stress enough I couldn’t put my chopsticks and spoon down till I was finished.
The stir fry I got was Pad Prig Pow- Thai Chili is was good. There were a lot of veggies and I added chicken and shrimp. The ratio of veggies to meat was a little below average. The flavor of the sauce was good, spicy but not too spicy. I would’ve preferred it spicier but I forgot to request that when I ordered. The rice was cooked well to pair with the sauce, what I mean is my rice that was without sauce was a little tougher than I expected but the rice covered in sauce was perfect. So I just mixed it up till my bowl was saucy and it was good. The red peppers in the stir-fry was super flavorful and my favorite.
I had an sweet iced green tea and water to drink. The beverages were good and I was sad I cannot have gluten because I really wanted a Thai iced tea. The server recommended curry to other tables that asked about his favorite thing on the menu. Overall my experience was great, the food delicious, and I hope to come again.

One of the best Thia food in the area, very neat and clean place and the food is really good. We were lucky to be on a non busy day so the service was fast and the owner Kim is very nice person. Definitely we will be back !

We stumbled upon Water Lily while in the area one day, and couldn't have been happier. The atmosphere was chill, the service was friendly, and the food was excellent (and very reasonably priced for the portions).

Outstanding food. Vegetables cooked perfecrly in both of our dishes. Best pad thai around. Highly recommend.

Best Tai food ever. Everything very fresh. Tai Basil, House noodles and spring roll were amazing.

Delicious! Highly recommend every dish we tried - potstickers, chicken pad thai, and spring rolls. Great bang for your buck!

Ordered take out on a business overnight. Cx/Shp Pad Kee Mao was sooo good. Good mix of veg and noodles. Ordered very hot and it definitely was. One level higher would have been uncomfortable for me. I've had my fair share of good and bad Thai food, this is definitely quality. Will be coming back.

Best tofu ever!!! Had the Thai Basil and worth coming back to!!

Water Lily Cafe

A hidden gem off the beaten path

Water Lily Cafe is a small Thai restaurant tucked away in a strip mall off the main road. It's not the most glamorous place, but it was cute inside and the food is delicious.

We were the only customers on the restaurant, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. We ordered some pad thais and the green curry, and both dishes were well done.

The only funny thing about Water Lily Cafe is the menu. It had to be scanned by a QR code and it was rather confusing to read. My order was definitely not when I expected as I wasn't sure how to use the menu. It's a small, intimate space, and because we were alone in the space, it gave the place a somewhat odd vibe, but it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the food.

Overall, we had a great experience at Water Lily Cafe. The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the prices are reasonable. If you're looking for a hidden gem of a Thai restaurant, be sure to check it out.

This place is spotless clean in the dining room very friendly and the food was very good

Very nice owner. Delicious Thai food... Recommended must try place.

Delicious authentic Thai and very affordable too. Definitely up there on quality and we are from Toronto which has some excellent Thai cousine. I also found the layout and soft music created a relaxing environment.

We enjoyed our dinner, with the one caveat that they could use a bit more help with servers for dine in, at least the night we went. The couple who run this unique restaurant are lovely people and we enjoyed chatting with them as the restaurant was closing.

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! Staff is always extremely friendly & the food is OUTSTANDING! I am NOT a vegetarian, but this restaurant made me fall in love with Tofu Pad Thai. Yum. It is hard to keep the consistency & same great taste when getting take-out. This restaurant NAILED IT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I'm very curious if they are still opened or permanently closed. I have not been able to get a hold of them for 3 weeks now (calling, fb messages, and driving over-they were closed on a day/time they are usually open and it did not mention anything on their Facebook about being closed for the day). I LOVE LOVE LOVE their food. But I just need to know if they're even opened anymore 😭

I stopped in for the first time today.. I had their Spring Rolls they were rolled to order; you can taste the freshness. I also had the pineapple cashew fried rice with tofu; meal was packed with plenty of flavor (definitely NOT bland and boring). I will surely be a repeat customer especially since they apparently change their menu constantly to keep things new. I recommend to anyone who likes Thai food to give them a try.

Very very good!! The best Tom yum soup!

Wow! A quiet, beautiful setting. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable. We asked questions to help guide our choices and were very pleased with the results! We loved the spring rolls as an appetizer, followed by the owner's own noodle and peanut sauce recipe. Outstanding! We loved the food and the staff. This was a delightful evening and great value for your money. Highly recommend,,,

Absolutely delicious food, very friendly wait staff and owners, cute decor and interior, and didn't have to wait long to sit or for our food. While the place wasn't very busy while we were there, the owners and staff took the time to say hello and made sure our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I had the pineapple red Curry and it was excellent. Definitely will come back.

Ordered here through GrubHub and GrubHub failed us big time. They couldn't find a driver, and kept delaying the delivery time, and two hours later they ended up cancelling the order. So we were waiting two hours for nothing. Not long later, we received a call from the cafe owner. He asked us if we wanted him to drop the food off for us, free of charge. He didn't want to waste it. It was such a nice and friendly gesture, and he went out of his way for us. The food was great and tasted fresh too. Thanks Water Lily!
