Quick and fresh Thai food. We enjoyed the drunken noodles, pad siew, and red curry chicken. Heat levels 1-5

Very good good. The noodles and curry was excellent . Small kitchen but worth the wait .

WOW!! Super unexpected on our drive from Montana to Banff, but nonetheless it was excellent. Staff was super kind and food was delish!

Continuing our BC Interior tour, from our previous research, we found out that the Chef at Family Thai has many many years of culinary experience and also worked in many very popular Thai Restaurants in Vancouver before moving to Cranbrook and opening his very own. Run by the Chef and his family, the restaurant is situated on the busy Cranbrook Street, parking spots are plentiful during our dinner ( 7ish on a Tuesday night ), but I am guessing that it will get busy during weekends! Since we saw the dishes around us are all fairly well sized, we decided to order only 2 dishes: Pad Kee-Mao with Prawns ( Drunken Noodes ): I really like Chef's version here, the noodles are stir-fried with a lot of wok-hei ( the charred flavour you can only get from having high heat & skillful wok techniques ) going on which makes the noodles extra al dente and at the same time soaked up all the seasonings & spices. Drunken Noodles are supposed to be spicy to be authentic, so I am glad to taste all the extra garlic, fresh chilli, Thai Basil in the dish! Warning: If you cannot handle Thai Spiciness make sure you mention it to the server!! Pad Prik King (Thai Red Curry stir-fry Green Beans with Chicken): Outstanding creation from Chef!! This dish will make you eat a lot of rice, and you will still want more! The balance of all the spices in the Thai Red Curry is the soul of this amazing dish. You can choose your protein and as you can see we picked Chicken. The tender slices of Breast Meat was not dry at all, in fact they were extra moist and also flavourful. The opposing texture of the chicken and the crunchy green beans made a perfect match! All in all, this is truly a great addition to the culinary scene for Cranbrook, as one of the Best Thai Chefs has chosen this friendly and amazing town to call home!! read more

We came here hoping to dine-in but unfortunately, they only do take-out. When we pulled in, a server saw us and came out to take our order. The menus are posted just outside on the window so you can pick your items outside. The front door is locked so you can't enter. We got the chicken pad thai with tamarind sauce (traditional style) and Thai ice tea to share. You can pick how spicy you want your food and we selected 3/5 based on the waitress' recommendation, which was just perfect for us (we like spicy food). The food came out fairly quickly. We paid out of the window of our car. Everything was really good! The pad thai was flavourful and had the perfect balance of sour, sweet and salty. The noodles were a little soggy but that can't really be helped since it's take-out. We also really liked the iced tea and maybe should have gotten one each instead of sharing. Honestly, you don't expect the ethnic food to be great in a small town but we were pleasantly surprised! The service was friendly. Parking is outside in the lot. read more

Our first visit was very good. We are fairly experienced with Thai food and found Family Thai to be very good. Excellent taste, quality and presentation. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. We highly recommend going and trying a few different dishes to share :-). We had the following,Tom Kha soup, Drunken noodles (rice noodles with a black pepper type sauce) and a Prawn and spinach dish called Thai of North Curry Pastes. We finished with amazing deep fried bananas! All were great. Go and enjoy, you won't be disappointed. :-) read more

It has been a while since we had Thai, and ordered from Family Thai, for the first time for my parents, while visiting from another community. Absolutely delicious. The food is made to order, and as such there is a bit of a wait when ordering for a crowd, but it was VERY worth it. The Tom Kha Gai was outstanding...so flavourful and smooth. The Pad Cashew and Pad See Iew were a huge hit with my family that can be very picky. An outstanding meal and we will absolutely be back! read more

Only been a couple time's but the food here is amazing! Always fresh, obviously made to order and sooo flavourful! Friendly staff. Worth it for sure! read more

The food is great. Best Thai food in the Kootneys area The owners are great and always happy and very welcoming. Great service with a calm ambiance. But be warned, the spice levels are legit. I like spicy food but these Thai spices are hotter than our Canadian spices . read more

The most consistent food in Cranbrook. It's always fresh, full of flavour, and if you want burn your ass off heat, they can deliver. Our usual go to, and never disappoints. Pad ginger is my favourite along with the spring rolls. read more

Awesome deliciously made authentic Thai food, a gem in cranbrook. Reasonable sized portions and decent price.

Authentic Thai food cooked by nice people from Thailand. Does not get any better. Have eaten here numerous times now and have always found the service great and the food tasty. Hard to pick a favourite as there are a number of great dishes. What is really great is that the portion size per dish ordered is large. Many times I have taken home leftovers. I am 6"3' and 230 pounds. Highly Recommend. read more

This place is the best in town. The food is always good and consistent. Very good prices and very friendly staff.

Best food in Cranbrook? Yes and definitely within the top 3. I had the PAD Garlic and it was spiced to the right amount and had a delicious aroma of flavours. Pad Thai Ginger was what my spouse had. Great too! The food was very fresh! Highly recommended. This place is just 3 months in Cranbrook but the family has numerous years in the business. Keep it up, we will definitely be back and will do takeout too! read more

I went there with my daughter for the first time a few weeks ago and I have to say it was pretty good. BUT the second time I wanted to treat my Hubby and we ordered food to go. We love thai food BUT tonight was very disappointing. We both like spicy food but we thought out of caution, we would only order 2 spice out of 5....and OH MY...it was so spicy both our eyes were watering and lips were burning. Plus be aware unlike other thai restaurant their soups do not come with noodles. Was quite disappointed. But their spring rolls are really good. read more
