This restaurant has a super cute patio I waited at while they prepped our food and someone brought us waters very quickly (before we even could have asked!) the curry puff app is incredible, as was my tom kha and my husband's green curry.

I got an order to go and service while I waited was nice they offered water and a beverage while I waited. Noodle dish was good and flavorful! The lunch portion was reasonable. Atmosphere was okay but I could not get the full experience as I took my meal to go. If I am in the area again I would go back!

This place is a solid Alberta institution. Consistently good Thai food and unique offerings like Pad Phret catfish and crispy duck. Their staff is chill and they have tons of space inside and outside - great for big groups.
