Great tasting food; however, the chef appears to know little about allergies. Most restaurants are very careful to err on the side of caution...not this place.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming little Thai restaurant that truly captured the essence of cozy dining. The atmosphere was simple yet inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal.

The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, showcasing the rich flavors of Thai cuisine. I decided to start with the classic beef pad Thai, which is always a must-try at any new Thai place. It did not disappoint! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the balance of flavors was spot on.

I also indulged in the green curry, which was nothing short of delightful. The creamy coconut milk paired beautifully with the fresh vegetables and tender meat, creating a comforting dish that I couldn't get enough of.

As an appetizer, I couldn't resist the egg rolls, and they were fantastic! Crispy on the outside and filled with a savory mixture, they made for a perfect start to the meal.

To top off the experience, I treated myself to the sticky mango rice for dessert, and it was heavenly. The sweet mango paired with the warm, sticky rice was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

Overall, my experience at this cozy Thai restaurant was exceptional. With so many enticing dishes on the menu, I can't wait to return and try something new next time! Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Thai flavors in a warm and welcoming setting.

The food was very hot and delicious but the only complaint I had was the portion sizes were very small. Many of the one star reviews claim the same, yet the management doesn't do anything about it. These are the smallest portions I've ever seen from any Thai restaurant I've been to in Calgary. Typically two dishes should feed two people, but not here. The green curry chicken was very small as you can see in the picture as well as the Pad Thai. In my opinion, if they increased their portion sizes this would be a five-star restaurant. I should also mention that the service was great.

Came on a recommendation, so I was excited. In summary spend your money elsewhere. Small portions for the prices and food was mediocre. The first and only time there, the vibe is that they aren't locked into the food or business. Should have known what I was in for when I saw they try to make money off their carry out bags 😆 Bags probably $.05 and they charge you $.50!

Edit: I think the service you provide lacks respect for my hard earned money. Do better and maybe you won't get reviews like this.

My 2nd time dining here. The 1st time was good so we came again. We ordered the same dishes but the taste was completely different- very inconsistent. The Pad See Ewe was salty and for the Samchan Kua Prik (crispy pork belly stirfry with chili), the cook forgot to add chili. So the taste is different- not spice at all. When I asked about the lack of chili, they just gave some raw cut chili and said that it would be extra charge (50c each). Totally disappointed. Would not recommend to anyone.

My Thailand friend told me this is the best Thai restaurant in Calgary so I went there with my housemates and we all LOVE it! We ordered six dishes plus two desserts. Everything was so delicious especially the fried rice and Pad Thai. Also don’t miss the Ice cream tempura. Excellent food
