4 solid stars!
We are never this far south but we had some errands to run in the area and a friend who does live around there recommended it to us.
It was not very busy on a Thurs evening - this is the type of place where you just walk in and seat yourself. Very casual but after speaking with the owners it is not so relaxed that you do not feel like a valued customer.
This is a husband and wife team running this restaurant, they are very sweet.
The wife takes your food and drink order. The husband will come out of the kitchen and bring you a set of chopsticks and then later serve you your food with a smile.
We ordered some delicious tea and enjoyed sitting at the only high top at the window. Parking in the lot is a breeze. The washroom was spotless.
The food was made with a lot of love - hubby got the Phanaeng Curry with chicken (mild spice) and I got the hottest dish they make - the Green Curry with shrimp. If you want it even hotter than how it is served, just ask for added chili peppers in the dish. If you adverse to red peppers, this may not be a good dish for you. There was a lot of them, but other veggies as well. I counted my shrimp , there were 10! They were surprisingly lightly breaded and I liked the texture! The shrimp were a good size and the chicken in the other dish was perfectly tender. $10 per dish, not bad at all!
Portions were very good, (loved the white rice too) and we left comfortably satisfied with that warm feeling that homemade curry gives you on a cold winter day.
I recommend this place and if in the area I would like to come back and try the Pad Thai (still on the the hunt for the best in Calgary - so far Thai Bistro wins). It is said to be their most popular dish (of course) and I will say there were a lot of people coming in for take out. It did not take away from our service but I would say that if you are in a rush, this may not be the place for you. Like I mentioned, it is a very relaxed atmosphere!
