This place is a 10/10 The food is delicious, we’ll flavoured and great quality. We ordered a lot of dishes and everything we ordered was a hit. Their dessert is too good to be true, roti roll and the banana pancakes are heavenly. The service is great too and everyone there is extremely welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend checking this place out as it’s one of the best Thai restaurants around. You will not be disappointed.

Whenever I am craving Thai food this is the only place we should consider. We always go with our friends, we’ve tried some others that are closer to where we live but always end up back here. I don’t know her name, tall slender Asian lady who is always there. She is usually our waitress and she takes very good care of us. Tonight she bought us a beautiful little treat at the end. Kind people - there seems to be a shortage of them in this world and she is genuinely kind, great server. And the food … oh my gosh, the best. I won’t need to eat u til tomorrow night, the best!! Thank you, see you again!!

Very nice place, good service, with a standard Thai menu. The fish soup was amazing! Just homey, delicious, and perfectly balanced. The rest of our meal was good, but felt a little whitewashed: especially the use of chicken breast rather than more varied and more flavourful cuts of chicken. Not my favourite in Edmonton, but still pretty good!

Spicy noodles with tofu and vegetable stir fry both tasted good. The place has great ambience and service I’m knocking off one star because all their curries and soups had a shrimp paste (which is not mentioned anywhere on the menu), making it unavailable for us vegetarians. We wouldn’t have chosen this restaurant if we had known this in the first place. Overall, a nice place that doesn’t offer lots of options for vegetarians.

The service and atmosphere were very good. Lots of verges and meats, exactly same as pictures. The taste was good. However, I prefer it to be a little less sweet. In all the dishes, the sweetness overpowered the spiciness and Thai herbs, slightly interfering with the Thai flavor. So I recommend here for people who can’t eat too spicy.

This place is small but mighty! It's a long-standing, iconic restaurant that has been serving the community excellent food for years. If you're going for lunch, you better book a reservation. It fills up fast. Good portions and value for what you get. The service was solid, and my food was delicious. Unfortunately, one of the meals had a hair in it, and another was inaccurate, but both were promptly replaced.

I tried the drunken noodles with beef. It's really tasty although it's oily. The noodles is savory. It's my favorite. And I also tried the friday special which is spicy basil chicken with coconut rice. It's really good as well.

The atmosphere was sooo nice! We ordered a coconut soup and spicy noodles however the noodles wasnt as spicy as we thought it would be and the soup was really good. But the good thing is when we let the staff know about our concern, they really listened and didn’t went like “ oh this is how we make it”. Rather they understood us and talked about improving the quality which was really nice! Most places would have just said that this is how we make it! Really love the ambience too.
