This is Thai food that is very authentic and very good, I was really surprised at how generous the serving sizes are, which makes it all the better. I have been waiting to find a Thai place as good as Nit's Thai food in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and finally we have one. The place is small but very comfortable. Pen the owner is so friendly and really makes you feel good about stopping by, I found her to be very genuine and a real pleasure to chat with. This place has it all, Great food, Great atmosphere and a great Host (Pen). I can't wait to go back and try many more of there dishes.

It was around 8 pm when the boy got hungry and really wanted Thai food so we started searching for what was open. On a Tuesday lateish dinner night, unfortunately most options were closed until we luckily found this spot! Ended up trying the Tom Kha Soup - which was delicious, creamy with the coconut milk & plentiful with the veggies. Overall, the soup was great & came in a good portion. We also tried the Basil Fried rice with vegetables, and this was delicious as well. There were lots of veggies here but what I really liked was that the flavor of the rice was light but very tasty. Would recommend one to check this place out!

It came with red and green peppers, carrots with fancy edges, pineapple pieces and another mystery veritable cut in long thin rectangles. The sauce was very creamy and tasty. You can choose the level of spice you want from no spice to 3 hot pepper spice, which was nice to see. I chose 2.5 and it was just right as I like my curry with some kick. I really enjoyed it, too much to finish all the rice. I would definitely go back or recommend it to others looking for great Thai food.

However, I ordered Rice rolls with Chicken with Peanut sauce to take with me. There was NO sign of Chicken in my Rice Rolls. There was an incredible amount of cilantro though. It was easy enough to pick out of the Rolls. VERY disappointing indeed. pretty expensive, seeing as I paid the extra amount to have the CHICKEN added and they were so plain. My company wasn't impressed either. Maybe there should be a checklist to confirm the customer gets what they order? Hard for me to confirm as I didn't reheat my rice rolls till the next day. Note to self -- Don't order Rice Rolls as a TAKE OUT item, as you likely will be disappointed.

My friend and I have been on the search for a great Laos Thai restaurant ever since our previous…read morefavourite and beloved restaurant, Laos Thai, had closed its business here in Winnipeg. After much research, we decided to give Vanxai's a try. We ordered the following dishes: * Spring Rolls * Papaya Salad (spice level 3) * Shrimp Pad Thai * Green Curry w/ Chicken We enjoyed the papaya salad, which had the perfect amount of heat at level 3 (their spice scale ranges from 1-5 with level 3 being hot and level 5 is inferno). The green curry was also quite good with an abundance of fresh vegetables in it, including onions, green beans, red bell peppers, broccoli, and bamboo shoots. The shrimp pad thai was delicious, though it could have used a squeeze of fresh lime juice to help brighten and enhance the flavour of the dish. The spring rolls were filled with vegetables and vermicelli noodles and was served with sweet chili sauce. We both thought it could have used a bit more seasoning if eaten on its own without the sweet chili sauce. Overall, we enjoyed the food here and will be making this our go-to Laos Thai restaurant.

Fancying…read moremostly restaurants off the Yonge Street area, I was under the impression that I was going to be served ingredients consisting of fresh mango, lemon grass, lettuce wraps, etc. Having visited the Peg and craving some authentic Thai food, my fellow Fudie suggested we try the Lao Thai Restaurant. Located in a neighborhood in the St. Anne's area, it was clear that the outside of the restaurant was a bit antiquated. However, when I walked in I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was clean and bright. The ambiance was fair and comfortable. Water glasses were large and the liquid was cold on fresh ice. The server was quite knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He asked me what my level of spicey/heat tolerance was and I bragged that in College (down in the U.S.) I was known as the "Spice King". The Spice King he questioned? Yes, I responded noting that while I was attending a four-year college, I was able to withstand some of the hottest habanero salsas at a local eatery off the University campus. He commented that I would then enjoy the '3' level of spicey. Here is what we ordered: Souk-Gai - a deliciously fragrant soup with great flavors of cilantro and ginger and sliced chicken. A very spicy soup, charged with a very able helping of chili flakes and special seasoning. Kua-Som-Yum - A mix of shrimp, cauliflower, red peppers and onion in a thin red sauce. The shrimps were cooked perfectly but the veggies probably needed to be cook more thoroughly. I really enjoyed this dish and felt it was nicely peppered. I should let you know that this was a '3' level of spice. Gang-Keo - a chicken in green curry and coconut milk with onions, green beans, broccoli and red peppers. This was way too hot for me. It overwhelmed the underlying flavors of the dish and wasn't as enjoyable. Again, we had the '3', but I would recommend a '1' or '2' level. Bottom Line: This Spice King gives Lao Thai the Royal Assent.

The pad Thai uses very thin noodles and is extremely thick. It tastes very much peanut like and homogeneous in flavor without a ton of balance. Their spice levels run from 1-10, but even a 5 is spicy for most people. If you REALLY like spice then opt for a 6 and add spice from the side. Parking is free and on the side street.

Traveler here. I am not sure if there's a certain way they make Thai food on this restaurant but…read moreeven i have travelled across the globe Pad Thai has one taste or atleast eatable regardless of the color and consistency. Let me tell you... This is one of the most INEDIBLE ive had in my lifetime. I chose this place because of the recent good review that someone had put in there. We ordered food close to $130 worth and all most of their food tasted like soy sauce. At least they did not mess up the fresh veg rolls with shrimp and Panang is 6/10. The rest is just not worth to make your tummy spend the day having bad stomach ache which we all did. And please do check the bathroom its really unsanitary. They are very nice people eventhough they didnt care what we had to say when we have told them about the food and it tasted too salty and not good. We barely touched it and we just payed the bill and left. All i can say if you have good experiences with real authentic and savoury Thai food this is not the place to go. 2/10

Another great find on our last trip to Winnipeg. We had only been to one Asian restaurant on our…read moreWinnipeg trips and decided to try something new. Quick Yelp search brought up the Golden Elephant - and not far from our hotel - so we decided to give it a shot. A little hard to find as it is attached to a Quality Inn on Pembina highway. Not disappointed. The owner was super friendly and chatty and very helpful with navigating the menu. I opted for the weekend special combo, while the missus opted for the Deluxe Vietnamese Vermicelli. This was a lot of food for the two of us. The Chicken Satay - served on weekends as a part of the combo - was truly the best that I've had outside of Malaysia and Indonesia. Taste was authentic and just flavorful. I really hope they add this as a option to the regular menu. The curry Laksa seemed a bit on the oily/rich side, but it was flavorful. The Vermicelli was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Staff even gave us a complimentary mango pudding.. :) No complaints, and we'll certainly return to try a few more of the tasty menu items...

I ordered the salad rolls with pork and shrimp...structurally very substantial in size and full of stuff. One could just order a few of these and have a nice filling meal. That said, the peanut sauce wasn't particularly creamy or pea-nutty. The pho is served in a moderately size bowl, but they didn't offer a lot of sprouts or basil. The salad roll had basil as a garnish and I put them into the pho. Also, there wasn't a lot of depth of flavor in the soup base itself...it wasn't watery just bland. Lastly I order the crepe sweet potato and shrimp. To describe this as a "crepe" has never had a crepe (made in the French tradition). It's not at all pancake like and more like a hash brown with shrimp. It was good and crispy but not at all what I expect. The restaurant has amazing ambience, kudos to the decor...with a wall length mural of a peacock and hanging paper lanterns...the restaurant looks exotic. Lastly, service was also just ok, not special or fast. Also, I got my entire order all at once, which I hate especially since I like having Pho hot. When one gets everything at once stuff gets cold! The cooks have no sense of timing (seemingly) and are more concerned about getting the order out. Overall, it's a beautiful restaurant full of charm with ok food and care for the customer. If you're not as exacting as I am about Pho and dining out in general...you may like it...the food is certainly filling.

They have very friendly & helpful waitresses/waiters which are quick to come by and help with the menu if needed. It can get quite busy around lunch time or friday/saturday for dinner so parking may be a bit of an issue. The restuarant shares a parking lot with other busy restuarants. The menu has alot of great options & you can request the spice level you prefer on a scale system from 1 to 10. The prices are very affordable for truly quality thai/viet food. I have a usual order of green curry with tofu, med spice & an order of small rice. It has always been very fresh, full of flavor, perfect portion size, good amount of tofu and veggies (carrots, sprouts, celery, peppers) & the right amount of not overwhelming spice for me. It has always been served reasonbly quick as well. I havent ever in the 10 years I have been going had any negative experiences. I will continue to go for the next 10 and beyond!

3.5/5 I've been…read moretrying some different restaurants via delivery thanks to DoorDash and COVID-19. I've been dedicating 1 day a week or every two weeks for delivery, and I chose this place due to some high reviews about their pad thai. Overall it was good, but not the best I've had in the city (that award still goes to Sabai on Corydon). I'd definitely be careful in requesting spicy level here, as level 3 was already quite spicy for someone with medium spice tolerance. The noodles were good, however the sauce was quite diluted. Not sure if it was related to the delay in realizing the food was sitting outside for a long time, as my dasher never confirmed to me it arrived and their GPS went off before approaching my house. I'm willing to give this place another try...once things settle down.

We thought the spice level would be a bit on the higher end with their scale but that isn't the case. They use a spice level score from 1-10 and we opted for 6, but next time we will go for 8 as it was actually kind of mild and we can tolerate pretty spicy foods.
