khao san thai kitchen

food was only satisfactory, should allow variation in spicy levels. waaaayyy too expensive for what you get. will not go back because of price.

great meal.. brought my dad here for his birthday. the service was great, the staff were very attentive and friendly. we ordered the vegetarian papaya salad (delicious, though very spicy), spring rolls, chicken green curry and pad thai. i like that the spring rolls each have an individual dipping sauce, great idea. everything tasted wonderful, and my dad is still talking about how much he enjoyed his birthday meal. will definitely be coming back!

the pricing is on the higher end, but i think the quality of the food is worth it. nothing was bland, everything had its own distinct flavour profile, and it just tasted damn good. we got very friendly and efficient service throughout the evening, so it was a pleasant experience overall.

amazing :). one of the best dining experiences i have had in calgary so far! amazing, friendly staff and service! we had the thai style beef jerky, basil & prawn stir-fried, and the green curry and for desert we had the creme brulee (thai tea flavour) and the taro pearls in coconut milk! everything was amazing! definitely will be back :) thank you

best thai ive had. great for those who like spice and those that don't. my 2 year old loves it.

it just might be calgary's best thai!. since discovering this restaurant on a whim, i might have been to it 4 times in a week and a half. the food and the service are exceptionally reliable, and whether i went there for a date with my husband, dinner with friends, a girls night, or a lunch, everyone in my party was always exceptionally pleased. the atmosphere is great, it is just unfortunate that this restaurant is rather small and usually full, so reservations are highly recommended. the service is friendly and relatively quick (no waiting around for food for too long). the food is spectacular-there is something for everyone. i tend to like very spicy food and they bring you chilli four-ways to spice your food to the level that you like. this is what i love about this place is that the food is generally well seasoned but not particularly spicy, so that it can be enjoyed by those who perhaps do not like so much spice. the appetizers are fantastic and my favourites have to be the chicken satay (scruptious!) and poung chom poo (possibly the prettiest and the most delicious thing you will ever eat!). the spring rolls and the corn fritters are delicious too, i have had several of the main dishes including the braised short ribs in massaman curry (the curry is so good that it deserves a spoon), green curry (i'm not usually a fan, but i love this one), red curry (mild and delicious), chicken cashew nuts, sweet and sour basa (the fry on the fish and the sauce are incredible), and my absolute favourite pad thai koong sod (the best pad thai i've ever had). also the coconut rice is incredible as is the coconut green tea! the great thing about the mains is that the portions are very generous and are lovely to share so that you can try a bunch of the different dishes. this has become a favourite of mine since my first meal: a true gem for calgary!

best phad thai ever. we just tried out this place tonight and we loved it! will definitely be back. they have the best phad thai we have ever tasted. fantastic. service was great, prices were good, nice atmosphere. a new favourite!

alright. this place has a nice atmosphere and very friendly service. we enjoyed our meal but weren't amazed by it. like it was pretttty good, but compared to both the flavors and price of white elephant thai, it fell a notch below.

always a pleasure.... i've been coming to khao san thai kitchen for awhile now, and i have never been disappointment. firstly, the staff is amazing and make an effort to remember their regulars. they are friendly, polite and provide an amazing service. secondly, the food is amazing. i have never had a disappointing meal or experience. the portions sizes are great--large for a single serving, and great for sharing. great flavours, and you have the choice for additional spice/heat. thirdly, every single person i've brought to khao san have gone back numerous times and have nothing but positive things to say. all in all, great food, great staff, and great restaurant.

looking in from the outside, this restaurant looks like an inviting oasis from the calgary cold. the decor is tasteful, and the house is packed. we started with the golden tofu and scallops. the tofu was crisp and the sauce packed a flavor punch. the scallops remind me of something you might see in a fine dining restaurant. moving along to the pad thai. one of my friends commented that it was the first time the noodles were done al dente. the panang salmon was an interesting dish. the battered fish in the sweet and sour basa stayed crisp as the sauce pooled nicely on the bottom of the plate. it’s really popular, and there seems to be an endless number of regulars, as the waitstaff greet the customers with friendly recognition. the service was spot on, even when it got really busy. golden tofu khao san salsa scallops pad thai crying tiger salmon panang curry and sweet and sour basa

lightly battered and fried basa drizzed with a sweet chili sauce… this was so good to eat!

a taste of thailand! i coul.... a taste of thailand!
i couldn't have asked for a better place to escape this canadian winter. authentic thai food, actual thai people, and a never ending flow of beer chang. i had ordered take out previously and was impressed by the massive portions and spicy sauces (i love spicy food) but sitting in this quaint restaurant with nice decor, soft tunes and friendly "thai smile" service, i think i've found my hideaway for the rest of the winter.

best thai in calgary. i've tried a number of thai restaurants in calgary and have generally found them to be mediocre at best, compared to thai food i'd had elsewhere. khao san was a great surprise. great food, nice decore, attentive service, and reasonably priced. one of my new favourites!

the food was delicious ! the only downfalls were that the restaurant is very small ... we had a group of 7 for. birthday party and it's not an ideal place for a group. not anything against the restaurant just good to know for next time. also it looked like they double booked some reservations ... i called in and booked and it seems like people who emailed in for a reservation had some trouble,probably just best to call if you want to be sure. everyone enjoyed their meal ... the best dishes were the curries for sure. i will definitely be back!

highly recommended. i went to this place back in november and i was very impressed with the food and service. the owner himself was our waiter and he made great recommendations and attended to all of our needs. this is the best thai food i have ever had and i have lived in toronto!
