“We just discovered this lovely place. Got a Pad Thai and a Thai Basil Eggplant. The dishes were clearly fresh and tasted fantastic. Didn’t realize they were in the neighborhood, but highly recommend them. Going to be back for a dine in experience and looking forward for their desserts too. Check them out the price and food are definitely worth it.“
“This restaurant was an instant hit with me the moment I walked through the door! The place is very charming with lots of live plants everywhere, cute ethnic decor and freshly painted walls. The food was SO GOOD!! Delicious!! Some of the best food I've tried in Canada or Thailand. We had crispy tofu, papaya salad, chicken stirfy thing and I asked for a vegetarian version of red pineapple curry. The menu doesn't list many vegetarian dishes, but I know that Thai food can be just as delicious with tofu subbed for meat, so I asked and was kindly accommodated. I enjoyed my curry very much! Thank you! We will definitely be back soon. :)“
“Don't let your first impression make you miss this experience. The building is run down, and painted purple. That's on the landlord. The family has created a wonderful space inside. It has been discovered by local schoolteachers so you can expect a nice restful lunch.The family has built an interesting menu of 43 items. If this were a chain you know you would be eating out of the freezer and microwave. Instead it's a small list of vegetables, protein, and broths and they ring the changes on them. Most dishes come with a choice of shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, or tofu, and heat from 1-5. At 4 they're getting serious.They charge for doggy boxes, but where can you get tomorrow's lunch for 50 cents?I marked it down for 'ambience' because it's a clean, spacious, simple space with booths and tables, not some hipster 'location '.The building is signed For Sale, so you might have to find them in a new location. Go now and keep yourself in the loop, they're with following.“
“Went to the Coconut Island Thai Cuisine for the first time last month. What a gem of a find! The food is bright, colorful, and delicious. The staff were very friendly and gave great service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!“
“I've been looking for a great Thai place since moving back to Winnipeg, and now I doubt that I will ever want to go somewhere else. The flavors were fantastic, and I love that even though I had picked a lower spice level today (a 4), the tofu pad thai I had was still very flavorful. I also had the Iced Coffee, and I highly recommend it.Vegetarian options: Most main dishes can be made vegetarian or vegan.“
“Best new restaurant in town! We had the Crab Wontons, Chicken Satay, Pad Thai and the Masaman Curry. All was delicious but the flavours of the Masaman curry were out of this world! My mouth is watering thinking of it now! Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes!“
“First but not last time at Shaba Thai! Everything we had was so delicious! Started with the crab Rangoon and rice rolls (shrimp) followed by pad Thai (pork) and green curry (chicken) both level 7 spiced. It was so good we left full and happy with enough left over for lunch tomorrow! The service was so kind and attentive even though they were very busy! It’s a small restaurant with only 4 tables - however lots of orders going out the door for delivery. We will definitely be back!“
“Takeout portions are fair. The price and service is good. I have gone there for the last many years.The owners bought furniture from me and in return I went to get food from there.Remember where you buy and who will invest in your business.Good . Great and great.“
“We randomly stumbled upon this place and thank god, we did! The food was wholesome and delicious. We really enjoyed it the dishes we ordered: mango salad, pad peanut sauce (veg) and red curry (chicken).This might become our regular spot.Dietary restrictions: GFO“
“It can get pretty packed during the weekends, so having a reservation is ideal. We ordered:Mango salad - 4/5Tom Yum soup (veg) - 5/5 (so good!)Green curry (chicken) - 3.8/5Pineapple yellow curry (veg) - 4/5Rice must be ordered separately.Will surely visit again for the soup.“
“We have been there three times since the beginning of January, and each time we enjoyed it at an affordable price, the dishes are good and seem homemade to me, a weakness for the spicy green curry at 8 out of 10.It is now my wife's favorite restaurant and we will return there regularly“
“My husband and I enjoyed a great meal here last night! I had the fried spring rolls which were the best I’d had in a long time and my hubby gobbled up the shrimp steamed buns that were apparently amazing!He had a red chicken curry that was hot and so wonderful he ate the remaining sauce like soup. I had the noodles and veggies with a thin peanut sauce that was scrumptious!We are taking 4 friends their in a few days.“
“Hidden gem on Logan near Arlington, blink and you'll miss it but that would be shame as the food is great and the service is fabulous. We both had red curry soup, one with chicken and one with tofu, both with medium spice and we loved it. The restaurant is clean and bright and we were impressed with the quality of the glasses, serving ware and cutlery. Definitely check this place out !“
“Always order Tom Yum and it’s always delicious. Tonight we ordered chow mein with beef and I got yellow curry with tofu and veggies. Unfortunately they forgot my rice entirely and my tofu was over cooked. Still good, just disappointed that I had to waste tike making rice at home when I paid for it to come with me meal. Will be returning of course, just probably will never get delivery again which is a shame because they will be seeing a lot less of us.“
“This place was very clean, the food was very good. I would definitely recommend. The owner was extremely friendly and always willing to explain or suggest what to try as it had been the first time for us going, we really did not know what to order. Food came out pretty fast. Will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.Kid-friendliness: This place was also very kid friendly, we have an 8 month old, and they had a nice high chair for her and were very eager to accommodate around her.“
“I've eaten at Thai Express in other countries, and it's consistently quite good Thai fast food. Tasty, large portions, decent prices, fresh ingredients, and not over spiced (I've traveled in Thailand). Excellent service at the Portage Place restaurant, as Skip the Dishes screwed up and didn't deliver my order (they even texted saying my order was 5 mins away), so TE cooked me a fresh meal and I ran over and picked it up myself. When I arrived, the incredibly calm, lovely employees/owners called STD and sorted it out for me. They were super accommodating, so kind and helpful - I'd order from there again any time! Service you don't often get! Highly recommend.“
“The pad Thai and Tom yum soup was unbelievably good, the drunken noodles were good as well only complaint is the bell peppers took over a lot of the flavour. Chicken satay was dry but I really enjoyed it how it was. Otherwise best Thai place I’ve ever had and I consider myself a foodie! Atmosphere was quiet as we were the only ones dining in today. 10/10Vegetarian options: Tofu dishesParking: Shared small parking lot for 3 businesses“
“My favourite Thai! Shrimp salad rolls and the peanut sauce! My favourite with a little soya sauce! Red curry soup chicken beef pork or shrimp. I get two meat in mine! So flavourful. 0-10 on heat level be careful if you can’t handle heat stick to one or two for first timers! Staff is always fast and friendly!“
“Came in and got a #10 "Golden Bag" for $10.99, a #35 Pad Thai (I chose pork as my meat of choice, but there are vegetarian options including tofu, as well as chicken, beef, and seafood options, too) for $12.95, along with a Thai Green Tea for $3.99. They also were quite nice and provided three sweet banana spring rolls as a nice little dessert to top everything off.When asked for spice on the Pad Thai, I told them a 7-8, and they went with a 7, and when I dug in, it was absolutely delicious, at just the right heat for my tastes but not a lingering heat, either. My only complaint is that the noodles were all stuck together and the toppings were either below or to the side of the noodles, instead of pre-mixed, which meant that transporting them for any length of time other than immediately opening them up, you're going to get a big mass of noodles that doesn't break apart very easily, and have to fish the toppings out, or you're just going to get a mouthful of noodles in sauce, which is why I docked a point from the food score. Now, that said? The noodles, even just on their own with the sauce and the peanut topping was absolutely DELICIOUS, and all the other toppings were great, too. I thought they might do just some ground pork or something, but no, they did full-on slices of pork that had obviously been marinated in the same kind of sauce, and the veggies were still crisp and chewy, not soft and soggy, 15 minutes later.The "Golden Bag" appetizer, taken at the suggestion of the staff, was delicious stuffed wonton dumplings filled with shrimp, pork, and veggies, paired alongside a delicious sweet Thai chili sauce, and they went down easy; a nice satisfying crunch on the pure wonton ridges that remained crispy and stiff, while the dumpling pocket was much softer and juicier even without the sauce, providing for a wonderful texture variance in a single dish.The Thai Green Tea was absolutely not what I expected it to be, but it was a pleasant experience nonetheless; it was a sweet chilled tea, almost like a green tea iced capp without all the cream; plenty of ice to chew on or to fill your cup up with water or another drink afterwards, if you wanted.All in all, absolutely delicious food, and it'll fill even a ravenously hungry belly no problem. The reason I docked points for the service is that even with the sign open I was standing at the front for a bit waiting for someone to come out, having to call out for staff a couple times before someone came out from the back; once a staff member actually came out and we began talking, she came across as friendly and helpful, and service otherwise was fine. I docked two points for atmosphere for two main reasons: the first is that there's a bunch of TVs and a commercial drink cooler sitting turned off while their 'Open' sign is active, which combined with the workers sitting in the back outside of customer view gives a fairly desolate feeling. The second reason is that they've transitioned to only doing take-out, a reasonable proposition with Covid still a latent threat, but here's the kicker: they just immediately bar the way once you get inside with a chair and table, which makes the place look even more closed and abandoned-feeling than it did otherwise, and really doesn't give room for more than one or two customers before feeling really cramped by the doorway. If all you were doing is coming in to pick up a previously-placed order, a la Skip The Dishes, then it makes sense, but for a customer walking in off the street, I felt pretty weirded out by this, so fair warning to anyone else that visits; it looks rough, but tastes amazing!“
