Don't judge this book by its cover. It is in a non descript shopping center. You walk in and say wow. It doesn't end there. We were on vacation from Florida and happened on this place by a Yelp ad. Good reviews, looked sincere. We were a group of 11 vegetarians and called ahead. Owner picked and said she could accommodate us. We started the spring rolls which were good, then came the Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups, both were balanced with spice perfectly. Tom Yum was made with coconut milk which was surprisingly awesome. Then came the dinner plates, Panang Curry, Green Curry and Red curry, along with veg pad thai and vegetable fried rice. Our favorite was the Panang curry, the kids loved the pineapple curry fried rice (a little less heat was perfect for them). This place a definitely a gem, we left jealous of the locals not having a place like this in Tampa. read more

The food came out really fast and was really delicious! The staff were really nice and also recommended the Pad Thai with Shrimp/Chicken and Crispy Wontons with an Apple Salsa on the side. The food was very flavourful and perfect spice level for me (not spicy at all). Very convenient location, with plenty of parking. Will come back to try other dishes. read more

Thank to Yelp, we gave this place a try and it was amazing! We showed up around 6pm on a Friday and snagged the last remaining table that was available since the rest were either occupied or being held for reservations. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation! We shared the the Money Bag app which was good and then we shared orders of the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. Both entrees were delicious! We practically scraped our plates clean. The Drunken Noodles were pretty spicy, so be prepared or ask for less heat. If we lived in Calgary, we would be eating here every week. Enjoy! read more

Was excited about trying this place but only found it so so. I'm surprised by the other 4 and 5 star reviews... Location is good with parking in front and the restaurant is nice. Portions are on the smaller side and pricier. Lemongrass chicken wings were a bit bland, panang curry was watery and didn't taste authentic (needed more kaffir lime leaves?), chu chi basa was not bad and the pad thai was actually good but lacking a bit of spice. The service was unusual and a bit slow. Overall was disappointed and likely won't return... There are other thai restaurants in Calgary at better value. read more

When you can hear the sound of the mortar and pestle, you know that they are doing things the traditional way. I must say that I have not tasted a lot of the menu as I've only gone there by myself twice and as much as I like food there is a limit to how much I can eat. I've tried the Pad Thai and the Papaya Salad, the flavours are fresh and intense. This is my favourite Pad Thai of all the ones I've tried in this city, it doesn't have any tomatoey taste and uses all of the proteins: tofu, chicken, shrimp unlike many places that offer a choice of one. The papaya salad was fresh and flavourful and could have been just a pinch spicier but I wasn't sure of the spice levels and so will know for next time. The service is excellent. I think they were smart to offer a selection of items that are different from the ones you find at all Thai restaurants such as their Signature Shrimp Rolls which are fried ground shrimp, water chestnut wrapped with seaweed paper served with sweet chili cucumber sauce. Lunch specials are a few select items for $12 each. I've also tried the Tom Yum Goong with noodles which is their regular Tom Yum soup but served with noodles. The menu is not as extensive as other Thai restaurants but I prefer that a place do a limited number of things well. read more

See all

We just ordered takeout dinner from this new pad Thai place on 4th Street and enjoyed our meal enough to post a review! We ordered the pad Thai,  green curry, moneybags, and spring rolls and the spring rolls were some of the best I've ever had. Great quality Thai food and very nice staff. Would highly recommend trying it out. read more

The restaurant is decorated really nicely and the food was amazing!! The pad see hew was good as well as the pad Thai and the curry chicken

Pad Thai that is just like the way they make it in Thailand!! Truly authentic and the best spring rolls that I've had in the city.

Extremely friendly and helpful service staff, with decent tasting dishes. Be prepared for small portions, though!

Staying at the Sheraton by the airport and very pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this restaurant. Don't let the outside fool you, the restaurant was nicely decorated. The food was excellent and the waitress was beyond friendly. Highly recommended. read more

If you want to spend $15 plus for a tiny curry dish that's very watery, no rice and have the lid not be sealed on the take out order properly so half of it spills in the bag, order from here. Wasn't even that good. I'd take Tuk Tuk over this place any day. read more

Pad Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I live a few blocks from Pad Thai...LUCKY ME! My first visit, I was fortunate to place the last take-out order of the night to pick up just before closing. As I entered, the open sign turned off, and I felt as I was transported to Thailand!! The energy was so warm, peaceful and loving. Chef Patcharin even came out to introduce herself to me, and share that she had a powerful dream one night and woke up knowing what she is meant to do. So Pad Thai was born. She is such a beautiful spirit. At home, as I ate I could actually feel the rare, power ingredient of love she generously sprinkled into my food. Now I even find myself craving the delectable dishes I can only get at Pad Thai. Since my first visit I've proudly taken many friends and family to share this wonderful experience with me, however must admit I don't really want the best-kept secret of this gem to get out. I still want to be the local that can get in whenever I want. :) Thank you so much Pad Thai - and, Chef Patcharin, I love the new chandeliers! See you soon. read more

Delicious, affordable, very friendly staff, very cozy atmosphere. Quick service too! We split the pad thai and tom kha soup. Both were great. read more

Have had lunch at Pad Thai twice now and the food is outstanding! The Pad Thai is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat, the drunken Prawns have a complex flavour that is delightful and the red curry was deliciously spicy and creamy, just as it should be. The Thai bruschetta starter is a combination of flavours that is reminiscent of Italian bruschetta but with a Thai twist, delicious! A wine list with a wide range of really good wines is the icing on the cake. Closed Mondays, this place should not be missed! read more

In my opinion the best Thai restaurant in Calgary. My wife and I dropped in one Tuesday evening a few weeks ago and had a great evening. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and give a nice feel of being in Thailand. Patcharin and her family infuse the traditional flavours in Thailand and modern cuisine. We love Thai food but have never tasted such unique menu items that Patcharin recommended that we eat. If you go you need to try the "drunken prawns", what a unique blend of flavours! The service that her and her sister provided us was very personal and appropriate. Prices were much more reasonable than other good Calgary Thai Restaurants and the quality was superior. The overall experience was excellent and we will now make this our go to restaurant for Thai Cuisine. Greg and Anne read more

This was on February supper club adventure. We can not go any further without mentioning our server Wasanna - who was one of the most delightful and helpful servers we have ever had. She made the place as special as the ambience and the food. We ate a real mix and everything was absolutely excellent (especially the fish) - however the Pad Thai itself wasn't the most special item - and we wished it was. Our table of 8 rated the entire experience an average of 8.75/10. I have already sent 3 people to check out Pad Thai in Calgary. read more

Pad Thai opened recently and my wife and I thoroughly enjoy their food. Fresh and tasty, and their staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Love this place! read more

Terrific service and the best Thai I have had in Calgary!! We had the money bag, Thai bruschetta, pad Thai, chicken cashews, and beef curry. All of it was fantastic!! read more

So good and the waitress was hilarious. Had the pad thai and it was so yummy and fresh. Loved it! Will def go back

The best Thai in Calgary. A simple menu with plenty of choices and every dish is done well.

We had never been there before but thought we would order takeout first. It was a good idea because when I went to pickup the place was packed and people were waiting, which is exactly what I did. I waited 10+ minutes as employees went back and forth while staring at a takeout package. When they had time to see me, yes it was mine, so I paid and went the 3min home. Unfortunately it sat so long it was dead cold and the portions were tiny. There are better options in the neighborhood for us. read more

We came here on our last day of vacation and boy did it not disappoint! Our food was excellent but the service cannot be beat. Our waitress was super friendly and took care of us very well. We talked a little bit with the owner after our food and this is just a very sweet family restaurant with love in every plate of food. Definitely a good find! read more

We drove through from Chicago- and are Into Thai food!! This place had fantastic food, service, and atmosphere!

Great food and great service every time! Best chicken wings I've ever had. Will be back for sure!

Had dinner with friends here. The staff was extremely friendly. I had a vegetarian pad Thai and tried some of the papaya salad. The papaya salad was very nice. The pad Thai was good as well. The portion sizes were big. Would be visiting again. read more

We paid $100 for our meal via Skip The Dishes. I wish I could post pictures here but the food portions were outrageously small for the price charged. It looked like someone maybe had eaten some out of each container; most were less than half full. First time we've ever sent food back. Further frustrating was that refund would not be granted until the driver picked up the food and the restaurant had it back - like they weren't going to believe us. Poor customer service. There was no effort made from the restaurant to apologize or problem solve. The food quality also appeared really unimpressive - especially for the high prices charged. read more

We tried this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. Thanks Yelpers you were right. This is a great restaurant tucked away in a neighborhood. Don't let the plaza influence your first impression as the restaurant has great Thai decor and immediately took us back to Thailand and yes its very authentic. It wasn't too busy the night we went so the chef Pat came out and talked to us about many of the dishes. She makes everything from scratch and uses the mortar and pestle to make all of her curries and sauces which really brings out the flavors. My to die for dish was the Pandan chicken. The chicken is marinated for 5 days and then cooked to perfection and drizzed with light sauce that was so delicious I couldn't stop commenting on it. We also had a red curry, pinwheel dumplings and the shrimp rolls which were delicious. The ambience and friendiness of the staff just add to the overall experience with great food. We will be back and bring friends. It's a great place for couples of families. p.s. try the lemongrass mojito, delicious. read more
