Yesterday, we had an early dinner at Pad Thai Restaurant. We had never been here before, but we did…read morehave high expectations based on comments we've read. And our expectations were met, and exceeded! Although it's located in a funny little strip plaza, once you enter this lovely restaurant you immediately know it's different and managed by professionals. We were very politely taken to our reserved table, which they had situated in a private nook. Very nice. For a first course (and appetizer), Linda had a Tom Kha Gai soup, small, which is chicken and mushrooms in coconut milk with herbs and Thai ginger. She didn't want to share with me, but told me how absolutely delicious it was. Full of flavours, nuanced and layered. In a soup! I had the Tom Yum Goong, small, which a Thai creamy style hot and sour soup with prawns and mushrooms. The mild, delicious Enoki mushrooms, sometimes called golden needle mushrooms, were an exciting addition to this wonderful soup. Hands down, this was the best Tom Yum Goong I've tasted since my friend Mai's restaurant in Oakville back in 1997. Dinner for Linda was a Green Curry. Of course! She'll order a green curry anywhere we go, anytime! Served with zucchini, broccoli and green beans, she said it was one of the best she's ever had. Strong layered flavours. For those who love curry (like Linda), she said this is the best anywhere. I had the Chu Chi Basa, which is a basa fillet (lots, actually) drizzled with a rich red curry sauce, and served on a bed of exceptional raw young spinach. This was absolutely delicious. All the distinct flavours were present and identifiable. The fish was delicious, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. I can't say enough good about this dinner and this restaurant. It's a bit out of the way, but easy to find. It deserves to be known by all Calgarians who love authentic Thai food. Presentation: 5/5.

This is a fast food place located inside Eau Claire Mall. I wanted to try this place for a long…read moretime. Jackie's Thai has been inside the mall for a long time but it tells you something that it is able to survive here. Eau Claire is a dying mall. More than half the stores are not rented at this mall. I got a steal on Ritual by ordering through the app. I got the yellow chicken curry for $7.50 - $5 off from ritual = $2.50. Can't really get lunch for that price. The yellow curry chicken was very filling. It was in a small container with rice at the bottom. Portion size was really good for that price. It was very flavorful. There was a good amount of chicken in the dish. As well, I really like the unlimited cilantro and peanut that you can add to your take out. It makes it super yummy. If you are feeling hungry, pay an extra $2.50 and you would get double the portion. Everything is made fresh on the spot. You have the option to purchase pre-packaged frozen curry sauce to take home as well. I say it is a better deal to just order to go here. It is not wow but it is pretty legit and good. Good food for a cheap price.

Still open in Eau Claire! Pad Thai is still great! Was worried the pandemic got ya.read more

I ordered their spicy noodle which I assumed to be pad kee mao. It was different than the dishes I have back back in Toronto and I didn't hate it. Flavour was nice but I would not go back in my opinion. My partner thought the food was average and had the same comment about the location. There was a lot of seating, like a lot!

From the outside, this Thai spot looks small and unassuming, but once you step in, it's…read moresurprisingly spacious. The menu is extensive with plenty of options to choose from. We ordered three entrees: the chicken fried rice, the basil beef, and the drunken chicken. Just know that if you want rice, you must pay for it separately that's why we got fried rice. All the dishes were mild by default, but when we asked for heat, they brought out a cute little platter of hot sauces which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, while the service was friendly and attentive, the food itself was just average. Everything could've used a bit more seasoning and flavor punch. If you're looking for solid Thai food in a laid-back setting with good service, it's worth checking out, but don't expect to be blown away.

It took a little bit to get our food but there were many customers. We had the Jackie Chan beef, pad sew ew, fried rice and yellow curry. It was all very good!

The flavor was so tasty and it was the perfect amount of spice. The pad see ew (with tofu) was delicious and very flavorful, but a tad bit too salty. I asked for chili paste (the red one typically served at Thai restaurants), but the waitress brought out a brown chili paste that I didn't end up using. I was surprised to see a 75 cent charge on my bill for this, as I was not informed about that. It was another bummer to know that the entrees/curries are not served with rice and you must purchase side orders of rice (one order serves one person). Finally, soft drink refills are not free. They are gouging every penny at this restaurant! I would not recommend the mango sticky rice. The rice was hard and not soaked in coconut milk, so it was hard and not so much sticky. It was not enjoyable to eat at all. This is in downtown, so parking can be difficult. While visiting Calgary from the USA, I used the website indigoneo.ca to purchase parking online and would recommend it!

As someone currently experiencing mobility difficulties, it was a slightly challenging climb up the stairs. Once I made it to the top, I was met with a charming decor. I was the sole customer during my visit. I arrived around 8pm and was seated near the window. A perfect spot to people watch when it's not raining. My server was efficient and kind. I was told it was last call as I was placing my order (they close at 9pm). From then on, the dinner service felt rushed. Within 10 minutes, I had my appetizer, entree, and drink. Just as I'd started on my entree, I was asked if I wanted my dessert to be brought out. Let's get into the best part of my evening- the food! The Spring roll was perfectly crispy with yummy goodness within. The Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp was delicious. The Mango and Sticky Rice was different than I am accustomed with, but it was edible. Lastly, I found the Mai Tai drink to be sweetly refreshing. I wanted another drink, but I'd missed the last call. From the time I was seated to paying the bill, it was a total of 45 minutes. The prices are affordable. This is a gem in downtown Calgary.
