    Satay sticks. Tender and juicy, perfect sauce.
    Tim B.

    I've been a regular here for just about a year and it never disappoints. Even on a cold winter's afternoon it can get quite busy and there seems to be a regular take-out trade. I've had a good look through the menu and there are some absolute gems. Pad kee mow is my favourite main course, and the fried chicken balls are a superb starter. I recently tried the lunchtime only beef noodle soup and I will be back for more. Kind of a Thai version of a ramen dish, like all their fare it's very filling. As far as the space goes, around 40 covers, pleasant, comfortable without being fancy. Service is very good and they are happy to give advice if asked. When very busy, things can slow down a little, but nothing excessive. Value wise, can't complain. A starter and main with tip will come in around $30+ and you won't leave hungry. If you can go with a group, all order something different and share, you will have quite the experience. Can't recommend enough!

I ordered $97 worth of food, which was only that high because I gave them a 15% tip, because I'm not a jerk. When I picked up my food, everything seemed fine. I got in my truck, and as I set my food on the seat next to me, everything fell out of the bag. The paper bag was wet, and ripped through the white plastic bag. I don't know if this is on purpose or if they're really that inadequate at packing!! Now, as I am about to post pictures of the mayhem that ensued, it's actually heartless that they wouldn't even give me a RAG to clean it up. I asked for a pail of water and a rag, and they lied to me, and said they didn't have any rags in the back!!! They could only give me paper towels. They tried to hand me one small, balled-up piece of paper towel!! Obviously, knowing I have to go home to my husband, I asked for my money back, and they wouldn't give it to me. Then I called them and told them they need to pay me back or I'm taking them to court. The owner told me that if I had a problem, I could call 911 in as snotty tone as she could muster!!! I am good to people, and everybody who knows me knows I would never treat somebody like this. We are absolutely disgusted, not just at the poor customer service but their lack and UTTER absence of humanity!!! Especially since the waitress herself had even witnessed how bad it was and told me that, that does happen sometimes because it's very hot. I would like to add that the waitress was SO nice and this is not her fault, but the owner is a hateful person who clearly doesn't care about other people, and cannot take accountability for her own mistake, as apparently she was the brain scientist who packed the food. What a hateful, snotty FOUL PUTRID DEMONIC TROLL of a woman. Her karma is coming for her, and similar to my food I paid her for that went on the floor, her karma is something that she will not be able to swallow.

    My favourite Asian-styled cuisine!…read more I will shamelessly admit that my boyfriend and I have come here at least once a month over the past 5 years - whether it's for a light lunch or a date night - we adore this place. Firstly, I'd like to address the decor: it is gorgeous! Unlike many other Thai restaurants in Halifax (many of which have plain, blank walls, and minimal decor), this entire restaurant is filled with beautiful figurines, mini waterfalls, and flowers. The place is decked out in gorgeous Thai-themed objects, prints, and designs. For some who may not have a taste for culturally unfamiliar interior decor, this may come across as "tacky" - but for me, the decor is everything! Second, the food: The menu is ENDLESS. There is something for everyone. If you think Thai food isn't for you, or don't necessarily have a taste for Asian cruisine, don't worry! For their "Americanized" dishes, they have familiar dishes such as deep-fried chicken wings (and BBQ chicken), french fries, nuggets, calamari, stirfry, spring rolls, and a variation of soups and salads. If this is your first time, I strongly recommend you try the pad thai. It has certainly been the Thai dish that has stolen the hearts of many first-timers - including myself! Recently, the curry dishes have been top notch! Definitely would recommend. Also: portion sizes are plentiful so you never leave with a dissatisfied stomach! Last but not least, the staff: It appears to me that this is a family-run establishment. The staff are always enthusiastic, polite, and most certainly generous. Ordering a wine that they are almost out of? Don't worry! They'll run to the store to buy more within seconds (even if you insist on accepting a different wine!!!). If you ever have questions regarding the menu - or anything at all - they do not hesitate to answer with full honesty and interest! Needless to say, dining at Thai Ivory is without doubt an experience. The only negative I must say is that I was heartbroken after the closing of the Quinpool location (though I believe driving to the Bedford highway for a bowl of curry is well worth it). They do not get enough business for what they deserve! This may partly be because of the location - or that Thai cuisine may not be the most current food trend on everyone's minds. Regardless, I believe this establishment deserves a successful future.

    Best Thai food ever, every dish is excellent. If you are a soup lover try the Hot and Sour Soup,…read moreit's the best, with an excellent balance of hot and sour.

I'm systematically eating my way through the menu, and so far everything has been consistently good--not mind-blowing, but definitely better than average. The soup situation: You've got two choices--Tom Yum or Tom Kha. Go with the Tom Yum (also listed as Tom Yam). Their Tom Kha is way too sweet. The Tom Yum though? Nice spice level, great flavor. Is $8-9 for a small bowl a little steep? Sure. Do I order it every single time anyway? Absolutely. The mains: I've tried a bunch of options, including the ginger chicken, basil chicken, sea bass with mango chili sauce, pad kee mow, glass noodles--all winners. Veggies stay crunchy, meat is tender, and the spice levels are approachable (spice enthusiasts can request chili oil on the side). The menu is fairly limited--basically the same six stir-fry options with different proteins--but honestly, I respect the "do fewer things well" approach. Portions are generous and meant for sharing. My only gripe? The side of jasmine rice never seems proportionate to the number of people, so I always end up asking for more. Pro tip: Their wine pours are generous. Excellent value compared to most Halifax spots. Bottom line: This isn't going to revolutionize your Thai food experience, but it does exactly what good Thai food should--be a little sweet, a little spicy, and deeply comforting.
