Came to Viphalay during Downtown Chinatown week 2018 with a coworker last month for lunch. This was our 3rd stop for Downtown Chinatown week. Unfortunately upon arrival we were told there had been a misprint in the advertising and that they were only participating for dinner time and not offering the $15 2 course special at lunch. It was literally -35 C with windchill and we weren't about to change restaurants so we decided to still give Viphalay a try. We opted for the green and red curried chicken with coconut rice (also still from the same $15 menu except we had to pay more for a lunch portion, hmm...) Don't get me wrong, the curries were FABULOUS but the whole experience was a little off putting customer service wise. We each ordered an appy to share in order to still have the 2 course meal we had been craving. My friend ordered the spring rolls - good but I'm not sure $10 good. I ordered the salad rolls - also $10 and smaller than most. The flavour however in the salad rolls here was outstanding - big basil leaf, two dipping sauces, absolutely delish. Total ended up being just shy of $30 each which was a far cry from the $15 we would have paid had it been dinner time (and no, they were not busy on this frigid cold snowy day - I think there were 3 other tables in the hour we dined). I'd definitely be open to coming back to Viphalay but for a Thai lunch special, I'd recommend Num Chok Wilai on 124th street at about 1/2 the cost and also excellent quality. Viphalay, I'll visit you again - but I think for a longer sit down dinner date.

This is my new fav. Thai/ Laos restaurant in Edmonton! First we tried their drinks, we ordered Laos ice tea and Thai ice coffee. The Laos ice tea was very good! has a coconut flavour to it and it is very unique. The Thai ice coffee tasted exactly like Vietnamese coffee, nothing special, but I did need something to pick me up! We had a hard time deciding what to start with so we ordered the platter. There were 5 items, three of them were shrimp which I really enjoyed them. One was Samosa and the last one was with cream cheese, these two were kinda confusing for a Thai/ Laos restaurant... For soup we got Tom Yum and it was very different from the standard Tom Yum. This one has more of a tomato flavour and i really enjoyed it. Our main were green curry, pad thai noodles, and large bowl of coconut rice. the green curry has the perfect spice and sweetness to it. Love eating the broccoli, it soaks up all the curry. Pad Thai was very good! the noodle was cooked perfectly and again like the Tom Yum soup it has more of a tomato flavour compared to other locations. We also ordered papaya salad and glass noodle but they ran out of both :( I will come back and try them!

The banana desert covered in cinnamon. My fav

This was a spectacular dining experience. We came here for the Chinatown Dining week and could not be more impressed. The place was full of people and the servers were scurrying around helping everyone and anyone. The staff are knowledgeable and aware of what is happening in the room. I ordered the coconut red curry chicken and coconut rice. I absolutely loved the food. They popped with flavour and the spicy curry was just enough for me to enjoy. The desert was a banana desert. Little pockets of what I am calling heaven. Slightly creamy with a light banana flavor. It was simply delicious. Thank you Viphalay family, simply amazing!

We came for the Chinatown dining week option and were lucky to grab the last parking spot in the lot. Walking in, the place was understandably packed at 7ish on a Wednesday night ($15 for a two course dinner is a good deal!). For how busy it was, our servers were very quick and friendly. Our orders were promptly taken, our waters were consistently filled and our food came out quickly. We ordered the orange cashew chicken and the red curry with beef, both with coconut rice. The chicken and rice came on one plate with a decent portion of the stir fry. Plenty of chicken breast (not at all dry) and vegetables. There was a lot of onion though, and it was bordering on raw, so we left most of it. The curry and rice came in two separate bowls which I appreciated. A decent portion of beef, bamboo, green peas and carrots in a sweet, coconutty and slightly spicy sauce. I really enjoyed the flavors but my rice was really cold when it reached our table. For dessert, we chose the roti and banana envelopes. Both were dry, as though they were pre-fried/plated, which I wouldn't be surprised by how busy they were. Both were just ok. Glad to see that the first Chinatown dining week was successful for them.

Viphalay's website indicates the Stadium location was closed but when we drove by the area, we saw the open sign with the name of Noi Thai restaurant. We decided to give it a try. We were greeted by this lovely couple and was seated right away. We ordered Pai Thai, Spicy Noodle, and Tom Yum soup. The food tasted exactly the same as Viphalay downtown so we asked if there's any connection. We found out they are from the same family. The restaurant was busy when we got there but they still provided an excellent service. Our tea and water were constantly filled. One of my friends is gluten free and luckily they have gluten free Pai Thai. The food portions are quite big. My friend can't finished her dinner so she had it to go. The owner was so polite and he never rushed us out the door. My friends and I enjoyed the food and will definitely return to this restaurant. Please do not get fooled by the restaurant name. If you are craving for Thai Food, do give this restaurant under new management a try. You will get good customer service and great food.

Saw that it was Chinatown dining week and decided to try out Viphalay for dinner. It was $15 for a curry/stir-fry with an order of coconut rice and a dessert. For that price, it was definitely a good portion and we actually ended up not finishing and packing the rest to go. We ordered the brown curry with chicken and the green curry with beef, both with coconut rice. I can't really eat spicy, so it's nice that they have a couple curries for me to choose from. The brown curry is a bit on the sweeter side and contains peanuts and potatoes. The green curry had a bit of spice to it, but it wasn't too overpowering, but then again, I only had a few bites of it. There were 3 desserts on the menu to choose from: roti, banana envelope and coconut ice cream. We ordered the roti and banana envelope. The portions for the dessert are fairly small, but I think that was because it was part of the dining week promotion. The banana envelope was ok, a bit messy to eat. I really enjoyed the roti though and would definitely eat it again. Who doesn't love roti with condensed milk? We got to the restaurant right at 5pm and it was a good thing we did because they had a lot of tables reserved and a steady stream of people coming after that. I would recommend calling ahead for a reservation on weekends.

We decided to try this Laos and Thai restaurant in Chinatown after hearing great reviews and wanting something a little different. As a group of 5 (and one baby), we got to try a variety of dishes which were all delicious! Atmosphere: 4/5 When we got there, it wasn't very busy and we had a long table by ourselves. It was a nice, cozy and quiet atmosphere. Parking was a bit sparse but it wasn't a huge problem. Food: 4/5 We ended up ordering the thai salad, pad thai with chicken, penang curry beef, orange cashew chicken with bell peppers, and oven roasted chicken. All the dishes were great - not too spicy or saucy and went well with the coconut rice. Service: 4/5 Servers were very attentive and told us how long some of the dishes would take to cook - the oven roasted chicken did take a little longer than expected. Price: 3.5/5 Fair for the amount and quality of food Overall: 4/5 I really liked the dishes here and it has a nice quiet atmosphere; I would definitely come back to try some of the other curries!

This is probably one of the best Thai restaurants in the city. I was impressed with the service from the start. Even though we walked in just 20 minutes before closing, they graciously seated us and did not rush us at all. The green curry had well-layered flavour with a bit of heat, and the coconut rice was soft and fragrant. I will definitely be going back here to try some of the other dishes! Sometimes the most unassuming places have the most amazing food.

Best thai food in town along with Viphalay. Own by the same family their thai and Lao dishes never disappoint me. Tonight I tried the simple yet refined Tom yum soup with chicken, mushroom, onion, basil, lemon grass, fish sauce and other secret ingredients. We also had their chicken Massanum which is a cinnamony brown curry with potatoes. Taste amazing with the coconut rice.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Wait staff were slow to greet me so I sat myself and grabbed my own menus. The menu Is vast. A huge range of thai and vietnamese foods. From soups, sandwiches, grilled meats and stews. Looking through the menu was overwhelming but at least there is something for everyone. We decided on trying the chicken satays with peanut sauce. These were a famous item popular during the taste of edmonton. They did not disappoint. They charred them so nicely I could hear the fire crackling in the dead of winter. But the best part was the peanut sauce. They don't provide this during the taste of edmonton. But it brings the dish to new heights. I would say...stick to the grilled meats here. They don't disappoint. I throughly enjoyed my bun bo hue. It was authentic and tasty. It made my list for top 5 in edmonton for sure. Portion was perfect and the ratio of meats and noodles were just right. Another great dish. My only vice was that it was happy hour...advertised from 3-7pm. But the staff would not allow discounted prices despite it only being 6pm. They had decent options like wine, beer or a customized cocktail for $4. The server states happy hour is over despite it clearly stating it is until 7pm on the menu. I point to the board and he says it's full price. Whatever. I don't like misrepresentation on menus. And discrepancys are misleading. For this I minused a star. Service was haphazard. I seated myself. Got my own condiments and even got my own drinks. I had to go to the counter to order my food and pay at the register. All the server did was put the food on my table and clean it up afterwards. The whole process downgraded the whole modern vibe to more of a cafeteria style establishment. I felt jipped tipping bc i basically served myself. So minus another star. Overall. The food was great. Slightly overpriced. But the atmosphere reflects the price in the heart of downtown. Service was okay but the whole happy hour misrepresentation was a huge turnoff. I won't ever be buying drinks here in the future. Bc hey...they don't follow the advertised prices on the menu. It's decent. I would revisit if I am in the area. But it definetly won't be a go to place that I would drive to if I was hungry.

I was walking by and didn't have lunch but saw the sign for half price combos from 2-4PM. It was a…read morelittle after 2 so I went in to check it out. Inside there was just one table occupied but there is a decent amount of seating for the lunch time crowd. It seemed cleaned. The combos they offer are a rice or noodle (pad thai that didn't look very appetizing) and then up to 3 or 4 items. The food was under heat lamps so I could see what the options were. I decided to get the fried rice and a few items. I choose a chicken first and looked at the other items before deciding on the vegetables with cashews. The woman serving me had the rectangle take out container about 2/3 full and she kept suggesting food such as the green beans and then the sweet and sour pork. Both didn't look very appetizing. I think she was hoping I would pay for as much food to get rid of since the lunch time crowd had passed but she wasn't generous with the quantity. I decided on the beef skewer and then was done. At half price I paid $7.35. I brought the food home and heated it up. I liked the beef skewer but the rest of the food wasn't very good. The food tasted greasy and I had to use my fingers to eat the chicken was it had lots of bones. I'm not sure if it's from this food, but I didn't feel well after. Definitely would not pay $14 for the food I had as lots of other great restaurants around. It would probably be better to go during the lunch hour when the food is hot and fresh but I'll pass next time I'm in the area.

I've eaten a lot of Thai curries in my life and the ones I've had here are some of the best I've…read morehad. I've tried both the green and the yellow curries and they are so flavorful and everything is cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend getting the coconut rice to pair with the curry. I rarely go out to eat, but in the month since I've found this place, I've been twice. It's so nice to find a Thai place that lives up to my admittedly high expectations.

I had been driving along 100 ave to commute more often these days, and began to notice that there…read moreis a thai restaurant just quietly blending into a plain looking mini strip mall (You can only really see it driving eastbound). Something in me has been craving some authentic thai and also something undiscovered, nice and close to home. I also like home style family run spots which are few and far it seems these days. But it came to my awareness so elusively and in such a subtle manner, I might have missed it if were not for my cravings for decent/good/great eats. With my family of two adults + 1 visiting adult child and three under five year olds coming home from a day at the park, I wanted to treat them to a rare meal out. It took a while, but I recalled Bangkok Kitchen and convinced them it would be good to try. I was taking the chance feeding the family would destroy my budget for the rest of the long weekend... I definitely was right about it being a rewarding adventure, and despite my second thoughts about posting this and potentially letting masses crowd over this little gem of a spot, I feel the need to compliment Bangkok Kitchen and express my joy of having such a great establishment in my community (Jasper Place). Besides, I am certain few read my reviews. About Bangkok Kitchen already! Thai cuisine is fresh, sweet and spicy. Very spicy. While there are non spicy options, it is general knowledge that the real Thai flavours embrace heat. Thankfully, the service was top standard and obviously well trained in spotting potential bad experiences. Our server always gave full disclosure of the spice/heat levels and gave options for us to have less heat (no spice, medium, regular-spicy... I'm sure there is grades above but did not go there). Additionally, with a dairy allergy and nut allergy in our group, there was some specifics which the server dutifully made accommodations for and conferred with the kitchen about before finalizing. Still, with two preschool aged kids, we found some terrific no heat options (mango salad, coconut shrimp, green curry, rice, calamari) and some amazing fragrant more spicy ones (tom yum fried rice, papaya salad) for the adult adventurers. The food was terrific and everyone was happy with the choices made. (I will disclose that I had been dragged to several well regarded if not top thai spots in my time, and so I know the standards fairly well) This is homestyle authentic cooking with soul. If you are looking for or are expecting high end hotel/Michelin star stuff, you might not be elated. But once seated in the lovely yet tiny restaurant, you will experience a humble and gracious Thai kitchen gastronomic masterpiece. I really love the menu layout and reading the story of the restauranteur on the front page was an added touch which added to my confidence in the choice we made to patron this really amazing restaurant. It was reinstated, when, as we were leaving, I saw the lovely face of the founder/chef who came out to greet us with the nicest smile I have seen in a very long while in the food business. I wish her and the restaurant as a whole the best in continuing their venture. I still have funds left for the rest of the long weekend btw. Thank you. Great.

This might look like a hole in a wall but dont ever judge a book by its cover. This might hands down be be the best Thai/Laos food I have ever eaten in Edmonton. Make sure to check it out! Highly recommend the green curry. read more
