| - I'd like to review this as better, but the food - for the price - was not fresh and not very flavourful.
I need gluten-free foods, so I called and they said they could accommodate. I was so pleased, and they said they could prepare salad rolls, pad thai, and two different types of curry and even some gluten-free calamari.
So I picked up the food - it was really pricey for what I got - but I was very excited as I haven't had gf Thai for a long time.
When I opened up the first package of pad thai I couldn't have been more disappointed - basic overcooked rice noodles with bean sprouts, and some egg and chicken and two freezer burnt prawns on top. No garnish no love in this dish... It was a sad looking state. Mind you, they said they couldn't use the regular tamarind sauce, so I moved on.
- next was the calamari - I was actually sort of impressed; the calamari was tender, and flavourful - not a lot of spices but you don't need a heap when the food is fresh.
- green curry chicken: the sauces wasn't very thick, the veggies weren't bad but it just lacked flavour, and spice
- red curry prawns: this was the worst - the prawns, again, where the overcooked freezer burnt prawns that you can get on sale at superstore for 2 for $10 - and they didn't even take the darned tails off so that was a whole mess. I'm not expecting fresh fish or seafood in Calgary, but really - if you are charging these prices, there should be an attempt at using fresh ingredients.
Overall, I was very "meh" about this place. The ambiance was great, but as I was taking my order out, I really just got the food, and that wasn't worth the price. Recommendation: go here if someone else is buying, and don't set the bar too high.
