Six of use went to the Noi restaurant on Sat. April 7th 2018. We ordered a wide variety of dishes which we all shared. The food was delicious! We had always gone to Viphalay before our symphony concerts and now will continue but to Noi. The Uncle is lovely and the food is still amazing. I highly recommend Noi Thai. read more

I went to lunch with a large group work friends from work-to wish a staff who was leaving her job a good fair ye well, and all the best. The lunch time parking is difficult to handle here, there are parking stalls- in the back alley of the building. The interior is to say the least quite a contrast to the exterior, a pleasant surprise awaits you inside think of 70's style Miami scar face movie set, and maybe a Yan Can Cook television cooking show. It was a distraction from the poor quality food-and slow service. The gang all ordered food at the same time and the waitress was efficient in taking it down and getting it almost all right. We didn't order any special drinks and the water was at least WET. But we all had difficulty getting more water-until I went to the bar table at the back then did the watering of guests myself all were grateful but NO tip for ME!!. After 20 minutes the food starts to come out a few appetizers at a time and after 30 minutes the main lunches begin to arrive. After our meal we parted ways and upon arriving back at work was told by my lunch companion seated beside me was not feeling well, later I understood what she felt as I fell ill with cramps etc -it was no fun. Is there a doctor in the house? read more

I was at this restaurant on opening day and have eaten here about 100 times over the last many years. This restaurant is also a favourite of my poker buddies as they have catered my high stakes poker game many times. The food is amazing. My favourite dishes are the orange cashew chicken, penang beef and coconut rice. For a delicious appetizer I recommend the red wine shrimp. I have some friends that I introduced to this restaurant that go here just for the drinks and shrimp. They are that good. For a great beverage I recommend the iced coffee. It's amazing. The owners and staff are all family. It really shows in how they care for their guests. As you can see from the other reviews we are all on the same page with this Edmonton restaurant success. read more

I think Kieth f's review is a little unfair to say the least.It motivated me to join yelp. In fact i I used to work 6 blocks from here and have eaten at this resturant for lunch at least a dozen times. Would have got five stars, but the quality went down just a little when they opened the second location. This is my #1 and only choice for thai food in the north side of the city. And Kieth, I find it really hard to believe that you and your coworker got food poisoning 4 hrs apart from each other. read more

Stopped in at 8:30 the other night and. Had my food in just a few minutes. The tastes were amazing and portions generous. Definitely will be returning for more soon!! read more

Simple Thai food, super tasty and reasonable price. Don't let the exterior fool you. Would recommend 100%

As I was leaving I overheard someone saying "The Rice is so good!" In my head I was agreeing. I just had a very pleasant experience along with the best coconut rice I've had anywhere else. I was impressed with the strong but not overwhelming flavour of the rice. It went well with my BBQ steak strips in a chili sauce that most people would find really spicy (Seehn Gnua Peang,) I started off with Tom Yum Gai soup which is always my starter at Thai restaurants. I would have to say this was the best I've had to date anywhere. The bowl was small for the price but big enough for two to share as a appetizer. It was filled with chicken, tomato chunks, onions and the other ingredients usually in a bowl. It was bursting with flavour and was just the right spicyness without being over the top. The Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp was as good as I've had anyhere else. It had a strong peanut taste and the noodles were not overcooked or soggy like some other Thai restaurants in the city. This nice little restaurant serves food to your table fast and is well organized. The quality of the food and pleasant staff will entice me to come back again for seconds. read more

This place made my life. It was everything to me. I ate as much curry and coconut rice as I could. The red wine shrimp had so much going on. I could eat the roti rolls until the end of days. read more

Once again we visited our favorite family spot and left feeling well fed full of spices and happy. This evening we chose the crab and cheese appetizers, the Thai salad with it's delightful creamy dressing and two curries. the green curry chicken and the Penang. The coconut rice was perfect. Delicious. We ended the meal with a delightful rolled crepe filled with a warm custard. Our family chooses this place for our celebration meals. Service is always great, and if Nicholas is around,then very entertaining. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE their green curry, penang curry and drunken noodles! My mouth waters every time I think of it. Viphalay's clean, cozy and welcoming atmosphere is a breath of fresh for an asian restaurant! It's hard to come by mouthwatering, delicious food that has the ambiance to match! It's always a pleasure to visit with the staff and owners- always so friendly and hospitable! read more

I've gone twice within the past 3 days :) It's not thaaat good but not bad. The best thing has to be the Drunken Noodles. I looked up the recipe online after trying it and noticed that this restaurant doesn't really use the real noodles in most recipes. They use instant noodles. Tastes great to me though! Also not bad is their shrimp & pineapple triangles appetizer. Other than the noodles, the rest of the dishes are actually quite small (~$11-12 each) so a little pricey. Don't have the sweet and sour fish because it was fishy-tasting. The curry was good. Tamarind chicken was meh. I didn't have any desserts but they looked interesting. Decor was good. Place was really clean. I think they just recently opened up. Service was good and food came out pretty quickly. Oh yeah, try the pineapple-coconut juice. It's really good! Apparently, they juice it fresh in the restaurant. read more

Really solid thai menu. Great flavors! A little overpriced, even by Edmonton standards

Great little spot! Very small and intimate with delicious food. If you love spicy food, try it out.

Wow. I was expecting good. And what i got was great. I had the red curry and it was superb with a rich coconut sauce and a sweet and spicy flavourful finish. Great meal and service was excellent even on a very busy night. Hihgly recommend. read more

Excellent thai food. I eat thai food looking for robust flavour hitting every possible centre of taste in a delectable and unique way. That is exactly what I got here. Much more of an authentic feel than some more main stream thai food places here. I mean authentic in a very well done and professional manner too. I ordered the green curry which had a wonderful spice to it with enough sweetness to make a great balance of the two flavours. Vegetables in the curry were very well cooked right in between crunchy and softer. The chicken was very fresh and light tasting and not so much the savoury side of chicken. Which went very well with the nice uplifting flavours of the curry. Also went well with the fresh tasting soup I got gaeng ka.. Can't recall the rest. It was a coconut based soup however. To top that off was a delicious pineapple coconut drink! Good going, this is another bright light making the somewhat dark area of china town look much more inviting! My one problem: Silly me should have brought more money and given a better tip :P read more

I eat regularly at Viphalay. The food is exquisite, the atmosphere is good, and the service is fast and friendly. My favourite dishes are the coconut soup, house salad, and basil stir-fry. The restaurant is clean, well-decorated, and features low-volume background music. My orders are often prepared within ten minutes with no impact to food quality, served by happy employees, and my water glass is kept full. End your meal with the sweet purple rice and ice cream. A fine place to dine! read more

The service was excellent and the food was even better. Ginger lemon chicken and coconut rice are recommended after tonight but I'll be back to try more again soon. read more

I thought the drinks and appetizers were a little pricey but the meal was fantastic and great service. I asked for very spicy Thai papaya salad ,brown curry ,and green curry...and they were all spicy. I broke a sweat. Finally, someone understands what "very spicy" means. Cream cheese wonton and samosa were very tasty but not huge servings. The papaya salad and curries were delicious. Though I thought it was weird to not have sticky rice at a Thai restautant, I was pleasantly surprised with the coconut rice...a must buy. About 30$ per person including drink. Highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion. read more

Coconut rice is a must have here!!! So flavorful and delicious, I could eat it alone all day!

I went to this place the other day, was greeted by a lovely couple, I was seated immediatly and offered drinks. The food menu cannot explain how good this food is, after ordering 2 plates we requested for the menu and continued ordering. Every dish has a distinct flavor and is plated on different unique plates that will make the dish stand out. I highly recommend this place and if you go there, my recommendation is to try their pad thai and one of their specialty is their authentic green curry. read more

My Wife and I have dined at Viphalay many many times over the last six years. I guess one could say we are regulars there. In that time, we have gotten to know Lily and her staff there fairly well. Well, a couple months ago, My Wife Diane was in a pretty bad car accident. She came through it ok but has had to spend the last couple months recovering at home. When Lily heard about Diane's situation, she had a very nice Thai meal prepared and sent to our home for Diane and I to enjoy. Lily knew all of our favourite dishes and made sure those dishes were in the delivery. On top of that, Lily has from time to time texted or called Diane just to see how her recovery is coming along. We find this so very special as we know how busy Lily is. I want to thank Lily for this special gesture as it really did help lift Diane's spirits. Oh, and the food at this restaurant is second to none. You can't go wrong here if you like Thal or Laos food. Thanks Again Lily!! Dale B Edmonton read more

one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. the rich aroma of lemongrass, curry and garlic greets you at the door (in a good way) . service is great, dinning room is nice and menu is amazing. my only complaint is the long wait to reopen 95th and 107th location. look forward to see the renovations read more

Yummy food and pleasant service. Lacks decor, but who cares when the food is so good. Only dish I didn't care for was the BBQ beef otherwise everything is full of wonderful flavour. read more

I have been eating at Viphalay at the old location in Chinatown,but since its moved into downtown,the food is stale & does not taste good.The service at lunchtime is haphazard.they are very busy & unorganised.My husband ate a week ago & was very unimpressed with the food & service & when I went yesterday,it was no better.I told the owners & they just said they would try to make it better next time.well guess what I am not going back!! read more

Love love love everything I've ever eaten here. My personal favourites are the pad thai, the brown curry and the red curry. & the coconut rice is to die for, I always order extra. Staff is always very friendly & polite, and they got to know me when I used to live around the corner. The new location is ok, but I prefer the original restaurant on 95 Street. read more

Have only have taken food out from this location, never a bad meal. Great food and friendly service!

I rememebr coming here awhile back but this is seriously some of the most tastiest Thai food I've ever tasted. While I don't rememebr what I ordered, it was 15$ of pure happiness. The only bad thing I can say is the rather long wait time but it's worth it anyway!!! Buildsa appetite. read more

Our FAVORITE place for Thai Food. Quality is amazing, so is the flavor! Yellow Curry w/ Coconut Rice is amazing, Samosas, Crab & Cream Cheese Filled Pockets so yummmy! I wish there was a location closer to my house, if you think about expanding Namao would be a great spot, but for now I have no problem making my way to you! read more
