Simply wonderful and authentic. I love Thai food and had it all over the world, but this was a unique experience: Great ambience, excellent decor, friendly, courteous, and speedy staff; tasteful, delectable food. As a healthy vegetarian, I greatly appreciate the separate page in the menu. We had the green curry and rama curry. The tofu was great, and surprisingly NOT fried. thanks read more

Wow I think i just had some of the best Thai food I have ever had in Calgary! A friend and I recently had the opportunity to drop in for lunch at this litte gem of a restaurant and i can't wait to go back again. We were both intent on catching up and did not have time to pour over the extensive menu - since we are both pretty adventurous we put our faith in the waiter and the chef and so we asked for spring rolls and whatever beef and chicken dish they reccommended that wasn't too spicy. We took our chances and boy did it pay off! The dishes came out promptly and we enjoyed a wonderful chicken peanut curry dish and a very fragrant beef dish that was loaded with fragrant tasty thai basil and really wonderful! For dessert we indulged in fried bananas and mangos and ice cream the perfect end to a great lunch! The food was fresh, tastely and piping hot and the service was spot on, my only regret is that I could not have spent more time exploring the menu next time will definitely be for a more leisurely dinner. read more

Good food, small proportions, too many Buddha's, no chop sticks or spice tray. Ran out of fish on a Wednesday.

I don't know what was worse... The food or service. Didn't even get water and our drinks came at the end of our meal which we waited over 30 Mins to come. The guy even said to me halfway through I'm bringing your drink but I don't like makimg Thai iced tea. Ordered veg entrees... Basically noddles with frozen mixed vegetables thrown in. Restaurant was empty... Not surprised. read more

Worst pad thai I have ever tasted in my life, small portion and over priced. The pad thai was dry, super dry with no flavor. Yellow curry was bland and again small portion. Coconut rice was dry, made from the cheapeast rice you can find in TnT. I really don't understand how people gives this place 5 stars. An appie, pad thai, curry and rice for $54 that doesn't even fill 2 people. I've had much more expensive Thai's food and let just say it's not about money. The food was grossed. For the quality and quantity you get, this deserve 0 star at all. read more

Ordered Pad Thai green curry with chicken, the Drunken Noodles with beef, and a pork basil stir-fry. Had stuffed chicken wings and papaya salad to start. And of course, coconut rice all around. This place had great Ambiance and service was fairly good, although the drink orders took a little while. The green curry was one of the best I've had in the city, which means it had the right consistency. The pad thai my friend ordered was also excellent. The noodles were thin the way I like them and cooked just right. Definitely a bit pricier than most other Thai places in the city but overall worth it. I'd say the Drunken Noodles are a must try. read more

Amazing! We had dinner here on Saturday night around 7pm. The place was not too full and we got a table right away near the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and quiet enough for a good date night. Our server was very friendly and helpful and brought us drinks quickly. We ordered Pad Thai and Panang Curry. After a not too long wait the food arrived and it was PERFECT. The Pad Thai had the most amazing sauce and it was somehow rich and thick and light all at the same time. The Panang curry was incredible as well and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. I will be going back as soon as I can! read more

Had a business related dinner with a customer here last night.... we literally walked in, sat down, and said "we'd like some nice red wine to go with your best chicken, beef, and shrimp dish". Left it up to the owner Sam to pick for us and wow was it amazing!! Great hidden gem! :) read more

Second meal here and fantastic food again. Best Thai food I have ever had and it is one of my favourite things. One of Calgary's beat restaurants. The service isn't overly attentive so make sure you have everything you need when they come to you. read more

Great Food, Great Ambiance & Great People! The food was unbelievably awesome! We didn't want to stop eating. My son has some allergies and they were friendly, thoughtful and careful for us. We had 3 different dishes (including a vegetable/vegan) and all were so great that I wish I had recipes!!! read more

This is definitely the best Thai place in the city. Search no further. The food here is spectacular. We love spicy food and it never disappoints. There are a few dishes that we never pass up - the drunken beef and the cashew chicken (cashew chicken not so spicy, but still great and evens everything out) and the coconut rice - don't get me started, I could eat and eat and eat. Any Thai Sa-On virgins that we have brought out for dinner has fallen in love and has gone back for more. read more

the most authentic Thai food in Calgary with great service and a phenomenal wine list. Swimming Rama Shrimp, Deep Fried Tofu, Masaman Beef. Make sure you try this place. It's better than King and I or Chili Thai House. Just ate at Thai Sa On tonight and it was as excellent as always. read more

Best Thai food I have had since Thailand! Brings back great memories

This is my wife and my favorite Thai restaurant in calgary. We've tried other Thai restaurants in the city and always come back to Thai Sa-on. They have great food, great wine and great service. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Love love love. Lived in Thailand for a few years and it's nice to get authentic Thai food here in Calgary. Takes me back to SE Asia. Wonderful place read more

This is a great Thai restaurant that I have enjoyed many a meal. This time favorite dish was the cashew chicken with chili paste, yum, so good. Read whole review on Where Pam Ate: http://wherepamate.wordpress.com/category/dining-out/ Enjoy! Janet read more

I remember going to Thai Sa-On back in 2006 and the food was great. So I went back again last week and was disappointed. Ordered some coconut rice, a chicken dish with peanut sauce, Pad Thai, a grilled beef dish and a bowl of tom yum soup. One of the first things that stuck out to me was how quick the chicken, rice and padthai came out to our table. I would say it took less than 10 minutes. I'm not saying it's bad but it's a bit weird, especially when the food that came out was lukewarm. Even the rice wasn't hot enough. I would highly suggest for them to serve their food on warm plates/dishes to keep the temperatures. The food didn't feel as if it came off a hot pan or pot. It didn't have the same consistency as when you cook something on the stove. Second. It's a shame to see such a good place go downhill because they have a really crappy menu design. Wrong spellings, and scratched out prices to put the new ones in etc. Really cheap feel when you notice the menus were printed from Microsoft Word and an inkjet printer with cheesy clip art headings. Especially when you're paying 50/60/70 dollars for a meal for 2. Each dish we ordered was about $14.95 plus the rice and the soup. It was also a bit confusing because some items were not labelled properly. Third. This is just my opinion on a personal level now. I feel that Thai Sa-On should trim down their menu items and really concentrate on making really good food. They don't need 100+ items on the menu. I feel you can get rid of over half that menu, cook some really delicious traditional and FRESH Thai dishes and people would definitely come back for more. My bill came to about 66 dollars that night for 2 of us. I would say the value is not there anymore. The food was not up to par and I think other Thai places in Calgary would be better choices. read more

Flavourful, fresh and delicious! #2 appy was beautiful and delicious. I do have high Thai standards and every dish was wonderful- not greasy either. Kudos! read more

What is the hype of this place? I don't get it. Stopped in here for lunch and their pad Thai had over cooked noodles, sauce in desperate need of salt and highly overpriced (18.00) for the 1/2 cup of noodles and ends of greens. I will say the prawns were nice but could not get over the price and taste. Service was poor as well. Won't be returning read more

Delicious Thai food that tastes fairly authentic, but not quite the same as in Thailand (not quite their fault)! 5 stars to the coconut rice - could eat it without any accompanying curry, it is so creamy and fluffy at the same time! Some dishes are better than others, but the tom kha gai and larb are not to be missed. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more dishes soon! read more

My wife and I were vacationing in Calgary and found this place on yelp. We visited on a Thursday evening and it was nearly empty, but we ended up really enjoying our experience. Our waitress was very friendly and engaging. I was interested in trying one of their curry dishes, but was hesitant to order it as my main dish. Our waitress proactively offered to bring me a sample of the dish to try and I ended up ordering it. I ended up really enjoying my dish and my wife enjoyed her pad see ew as well. My wife and I still reference this place when visiting thai restaurants at home. Definitely would recommend to others! read more

We had a large group for lunch. It took over 30 minutes for a server to even come by. One of the guests didn't even get to eat as it took too long to even get a drink. Once we finally got service my dish never came. The server did not care at all or try to fix the problem. Just handed me the menu and said sorry. This place has gone waaaaaay down. What was once a place I loved to frequent has now become a place I will never come to again. At least there was some rice to eat. It's sad to see a great establishment lose its way. read more

wonderful service. beautiful atmosphere. fantastic food, worth the price! A perfect balance of flavours. Enjoy!

This was a delicious spot for a quick, relaxing dinner. The service was fast and attentive and the menu is extensive. The food was really great, especially since it arrived at the table so quickly. The interior has lots of interesting decor to look at and it is fairly welcoming. I look forward to going back to try out some other menu items. read more

I've been to this restaurant a couple times and unfortunately both of my experiences were very disappointing. First off, the restaurant only has 2-3 people working on a Saturday night ( pretty sure my waitress was also washing the dishes in the kitchen). Expect to sit for at least 15 mins before you are even acknowledged. Half the items my friends and I ordered from their menu were "sold out". It takes approximately 35-60 mins to get your food - I wish I was joking, but make sure you eat before you go because you will most certainly be waiting for a LONG time!! Food is bland, diluted, and portion sizes are TINY!!!!!! This place is WAY too expensive - not sure how they are getting away with it! Stick to Thai Express.. im serious! read more

This place is terrible ordered for 2 ended up getting curry had no chicken and smallest portion. Also ordered pad Thai was bland with no taste and very dry. The rice had no coco it flavour and was cheap rice can tell by the taste. Also ordered these bird shrimp rolls so tiny and dry. Overall the food was terrible small portions and no care put into the food. People in Calgary do not know what quality food is. This place is a disappointment go try white elephant or khao san if you want quality Thai food. Steer clear of this place tonight was a disappointment. read more

The most authentic Thai food I've found in Calgary. Excellent service from genuinely friendly ownership. Love the drunken beef!

Ridiculously overpriced for the portion size. Embarrassingly mediocre food to boot. Never again!!

I love this place. Works for lunch, take-out or a nice little dinner date spot. Food is absolutely perfect every time, the service is friendly and I love asking for their recommendations to try something new. They've never let me down. Lots of unique artwork inside makes for an authentic atmosphere. LOVE IT HERE read more

Food was fantastic - service was poor. The restaurant was not busy and it still took an hour for the food to arrive. The food was brought out for one person at a time. By the time the last person recieved their meal, the first two were done. read more

The service is terrible. A lady with a child asked for alternate seating, because of the kid (to the side) and the guy there (owner) says to her if you don't like it, you can leave and she did. I thought it was awful to treat a mother and child like that. Never again! read more

Thai Sa-On has an amazing wine selection and the Jackie Chan beef is fantastic. Well worth the visit.
