Being a Thai person must definitely be impressed. Get the authentic Isaan Thai taste. The papaya salad has a delicious aroma. I'm impressed. The shop owner is very friendly and the shop is clean.

Cute family run Thai restaurant. They were very friendly and the food was excellent. The Thai spicy was actually spicy. My favourite dishes was the tamarind fish, pineapple rice and the pork skewers. There are a lot of items I will be going back to try.

Food is authentic and delicious. We ordered the panang curry, stuffed chicken wings, papaya salad, and coconut rice. Flavours are there, unfortunately portions are small.I cannot justify $5 for a single bowl of RICE! I'm Asian, I eat rice every day. I make coconut rice myself. But I CANNOT justify $5 for a small bowl of rice. Rice is a cheap ingredient, even when you consider the extra ingredients for coconut rice. Other Thai restaurants in Calgary charge $2.50 for a bowl or $6-7 for a whole bucket of rice. I understand with shrinkflation, it is normal to charge a bit more for things and I totally am okay with other dishes being more expensive. Just not rice.

I had the red curry with coconut rice and my boyfriend had drunken noodles. Both were amazing. The parking lot is a bit small though.Edit: I came back to try the panang curry, which was also delicious.

First time dining here with family. We ordered 3 different dishes all of which had rich, delicious flavours. Really did feel like an authentic home cooked meal, highly recommend. The family that runs this place is very respectful of its customers- we will definitely be back!

Ordered papaya salad, fish cakes, red curry with pork, fried whole tilapia, and pineapple fried rice for $115 after delivery and tip. As someone who grew up in Thailand, the food was disappointing. The papaya salad had a bitter taste due to the type of papaya they had selected. The fried fish was fried in old oil and had a brown look and off smell rather than crispy golden. The fish cakes were good but they were very small and only 4 in the order ($4 for each piece). The red curry was fine. Pineapple fried rice had clumpy moist rice. Overall about as good as most other Thai restaurants in Alberta but certainly not up to the standards of authentic Thai food.

My Thailand friend recommended me this restaurant. It was my first time to know Panaeng Curry: thick red curry with chicken, coconut milk, peanut sauce, redpeppers, greenpeas and lime leaf. Very coconut milky but not greasy, and was a good pair with coconut rice. The two others were my friends’ and she loved too.

My bf and I have been actively looking for a go-to place for Thai food, specifically Pad Thai, and I think we found it here!This place is such a sweet and homey family owned restaurant! Such a sweet family that works here and the food is delicious.— Thai Milk Tea —Very sweet and perfect if you have a sweet tooth or love condensed milk!— Thai Spring Rolls —Yummy with a light crispy shell. Dip tied it all together nicely.— Chicken Satay —Pretty good, the peanut sauce was delicious!— Tum Yum Soup —Tasty and good sour kick. Rich in flavour!— Chicken Pad Thai —Perfect balance between sauciness, sweet, and savory! Just right in my opinion!

Very disappointed. Was really looking forward to visit as it was a recommendation. This isn’t really a restaurant, it’s a takeaway that serves tables. The service was terrible, but she was on her own so couldn’t be held accountable. Appetizers were acceptable but only one of the 5 main courses were enjoyed. Two were completely inedible. I did bring it to their attention, but they insisted it was all great. Not really sure what to say about that. The quality of the meat is really poor and even now when I think back to my meal it makes me feel ill. Not what I was going for or expecting. They did finally agree to remove one of the uneaten meals but clearly didn’t understand why I didn’t want to pay for a meal that couldn’t be eaten. Sad experience.

It’s a nice, authentic place. I loved the dumplings and the pad Thai with chicken. My partner got pad Thai with beef and it was delicious. But Tom yum was quite disappointing. I didn’t like big pieces of vegetables (mushrooms and tomato) and I got only 3 shrimps as the seafood ingredient.
