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.

I ordered…read morethe ribs lunch special (first I should've known that wasn't a Thai item so what was I thinkin) anyway it came 3 large ribs, coleslaw, rice. The ribs I started to eat and was chewing like it was beef jerky and I kid you not. The waitress came by not long after we received the meals and asked how it was and before I could start talking she was already past our table....so I said the ribs and she turned back "are so tough, so VERY tough" and she thought for a 1/2 minute formulating her response and said we don't eat them like Canadians do all soft and fall off the bone" WTF when I left I took the meal with me to show my daughter who raved of this restaurant (maybe a different location?) Anyway - POS and the server could've totally dealt with this way better. Oh the coleslaw came out of a bag and was so freaking dry - just incredibly awful. The rice - only good thing on the plate. I'm telling all my friends to stay clear of this place.

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.

The food was…read moredelicious and the Spicy Noodles were legit spicy! :) We got the Spicy Noodles with Chicken ($13.50), the Panang Beef ($12.95) and a small steamed rice ($3). We were stuffed silly and everything was amazing. The Spicy Noodles had a lot of lean chicken in it, which I loved. It also had green beans, bell peppers (red and green), egg, bamboo shoots and eggplant. It had a good fiery kick to it and the portion size was great. We really enjoyed this dish. The Panang Beef had a bit of spice to it too, but not as much as the Spicy Noodles. It was full of lean and tender beef, bell peppers, green beans and cabbage. The peanut sauce was so good, although a bit oily. I really enjoyed this dish too. My husband absolutely loved it. My dad loves Panang Beef, I'm seriously considering bringing him to Halifax (from Ottawa) so he can have the Panang Beef here, lol, well and obviously get a vacation out of it too, haha. Yup, it's that good ;) The small steamed rice was the perfect size for the two of us. It was nicely cooked. Service was friendly and efficient. Our food was ready in 15 minutes. They have a small area where you can sit and wait for your takeout orders. The dining room is sizeable. They only have indoor dining though, no patio. Street parking only. If you like Thai food, I would definitely recommend Cha Baa Thai. Delicious food, excellent prices, quick and friendly service, what's not to like?

Dear Manager, I am…read morewriting to express my disappointment regarding the service my party of eight received at your Queen Street restaurant yesterday, July 29, at approximately 4:30 p\.m\. I have been a loyal customer of Chaa Baa for many years, ever since you first opened on Queen Street, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Unfortunately, the service throughout our meal was well below the standard I have come to expect. Our server was inattentive from the beginning. When our meals arrived, there was no cutlery on the table, so we were unable to begin eating until we flagged him down and he brought some. The meals were also served at different times rather than together. As a result, some of our food became cold while we waited for the remaining dishes to arrive. In addition, no one explained that rice had to be ordered separately. Several members of our group received their entrées only to discover they had no rice to accompany them. They then had to order it separately and wait even longer before they could properly enjoy their meals. This should have been explained when our orders were taken. Our water glasses were not refilled, and throughout the meal we repeatedly had to look for or chase down our server whenever we needed assistance. To make matters worse, the server spilled liquid on the table and used my cloth napkin to wipe it up. In doing so, he also took away my cutlery, assuring me that he would return with a clean napkin and fresh utensils. Neither ever arrived. By the time I was able to get anyone's attention again, I ended up eating my meal with a large serving spoon because I had no other utensils available. Additionally, there was an argument and loud voices coming from the kitchen, which made us feel uncomfortable. We were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time, which made the situation even more noticeable and unsettling. Given this, I must ask why the service was so abominable during our visit. I was embarrassed that I had recommended your restaurant to my friends, especially because I have always spoken so highly of Chaa Baa over the years. I hope you will share this feedback with your management team and use it as an opportunity to improve the level of service provided to your guests. While the food itself was enjoyable, the service significantly diminished what should have been a pleasant dining experience.

The chicken was tough and rubbery and the noodles were much darker than normal. I ate the shrimp as it was ok. It also was void of the egg normally in their pad tai. I brought it in the next day and asked. They said it may have too much chili, but it's not burnt. Thinking back their pad tai is just noodles with chilli. They made me a new pad tai and then said try don't want me to come back because my orders are too complicated. My complication is that I can't have onions or tofu (soy). It certainly isn't too complicated. I'll see if I can make noodles and chili at home.
