| - This may be the most beautiful restaurant I've ever entered. Gorgeously painted, full of lush (fake) plants, this is definitely a great escape from the cold winter weather!
The food too, is good and filling. It's not amazing, but it counts as a 'decent' Thai restaurant in my opinion. My table ordered the Pad Thai, the Sweet and Sour stir fry, a Musluman (peanut) beef curry, and a spicy seafood stirfry, coconut rice and shrimp salad rolls.
The portions were decent, although I found my curry a bit on the skimpy side ingredients wise, with a pretty thin sauce. Definitely the first time I've EVER finished my entire meal at a Thai place, versus getting to take home yummy leftovers.
General consensus on most of the food was that, although we enjoyed what we ordered, it wasn't the best version of it that we'd ever had. The exception was the sweet and sour stirfry, which my friend finished but said she definitely wouldn't order again.
Prices seem a bit steep here vs. other Thai restaurant experiences I've had in Calgary, and the drink costs seem excessive: although you get a pretty decent sized glass, a cocktail here will cost you $10. My (virgin) mango juice was $4.50, but I'm not going to complain - it was the best mango juice I've ever had, and definitely the highlight of my meal!
All in all it was a 'okay' experience, and I'll probably visit again to try something different (and revel in the décor).
