khao san thai kitchen

khaosanis one of my favorite places to get thai food. it is so busy that you almost always need a reservation! the food is delicious and authentic, the service is amazing, and the restaurant is clean and modern.

i knew i would be a regular at khaosanthe first time i visited this place. there is absolutely nothing that i have to say about this place which is even borderline negative. the ambiance is wonderful, seating is comfortable. staff is friendly and helpful with the menu. the food is phenomenal! we have tried almost 80% of the menu here, and there isn't a single meal that we haven't liked. the curries have the perfect amount of flavor and spice and so do the stir fry vegetables. rice is cooked to perfection. noodle soups are deliciously flavored. we love the golden tofu with the sweet-chili peanut sauce. servings are wholesome! their wine menu, however, is rather limited, but that has never been an issue with us. highly recommended!

khaosanis a thai fusion restaurant located along 17th ave, and one that i've been meaning to try for a while. i've always heard good things about this place, and can certainly see why. i ordered the red curry, satay skewers, and a noodle soup dish. the food came out quite quickly, and the service was incredibly friendly. all of the dishes were flavourful, and i particularly liked the peanut satay sauce that came with the skewers. the noodle soup was incredible as well, with a nice balance of spice and coconut milk to create a memorable taste. definitely coming back!

what differentiates khaosanthai is the outstanding service. the staff are courteous, fun and knowledgeable. we were really impressed - 5/5.

the food was good - 4/5. absolutely must order the scallop starter - was perfect. we also ordered tom yum soups starters, the massaman beef rib curry and the chicken green curry with coconut rice. all were great but not mind blowing.

the wine list is minimal (which is a big negative for me as i love wine!). they do have cocktails and other options available to try but we didn't venture to those. hard to give the beverage list more than 2.5/5.

overall i would be back - 4/5

last sunday lunchtime we were doing some odd jobs near 17th and decided to grab a bite to eat nearby. it was a pretty cold and grim day so we figured a nice warm curry would be perfect. it wasn’t long before we spotted the sign for khaosanthai kitchen. the reviews on zomato were pretty good, so we couldn’t resist giving it a go.

i love thai food. just the different varieties of food you can get.
my gf took me to khaosanone day after work. its gorgeous inside and the service was very good. very friendly too
we ordered their poung chom-poo  which was soo pretty the presentation
and few curry dishes and shared.
the dishes were tasty but i found that the price was alittle high compared to most thai restaurants ive been to.

i would still recommend checking it out :)

i always suggest khaosanthai kitchen to my friends when they're craving some thai food but want a good atmosphere and great service as well. it's convenient location on 17th ave makes it easy to go out for drinks too! i would recommend the pad thai and thai iced tea - it's fantastic!

finally found great thai food in calgary!. this is far and away the best thai food i have had in calgary. moving from victoria b.c. i left behind sabhi thai, that was the best thai restaurant and i would go once at least every 2 weeks. moving here i have been disappointed over and over with the processed tasting thai food that calgary has to offer. some friends invited us to go to khaosanas they had been told that it was great. the food was outstanding. started with the spring rolls that each came sticking out of a shot glass that was filled with a sweet chilli sauce. great presentation and the spring rolls were delicious! we had the yellow curry and it was amazing! the pad thai was great and the fried rice was also full of flavour. everything we ordered was a 10 out of 10. the service was very friendly and attentive, always a nice smile and we were checked on frequently. my only complaint is that i live in the nw so i will take me 20-25 mins to get there every time, and after that meal not going is not an option!

khaosanthai kitchen is not only the best thai restaurant in calgary, it is where we go to be with friends. whether we're celebrating special occasions, showing off to our friends with fine dining, or just plain hungry, it's the first place we consider going. sam, dao, and all the staff treat us like part of the family and we feel valued and respected with every visit.
customer service is high on our list, and if there's great tasting food accompanying that, you have a lifetime, loyal customer. khaosanthai has the best of the best thai chefs from thailand to further romance your palate to ecstasy. wow! can't get any better than that!
see you all there! i'll be the one with the big smile, stuffing my face, and being served like a queen.

best around!. khaosanthai is by far the best authentic thai food you can get anywhere outside of thailand. the owner and staff are amazing and the food follows suit. i've been known to order takeout from here twice a week or more because you just can't beat it. don't miss out on this gem!

you may have noticed but we've been on a bit of a thai kick recently. there is something about the fresh and bright flavours, spicy heat and family style dining that we love. our favourite thai place to date has to be juree's , but after hearing all the buzz about khaosanthai kitchen which has opened up on 17th ave we had to give it a try.

thai gem on 17th. what a lovely experience we had when we dined at khao san. my boyfriend's mom loves thai food and every time she visits, we always slip in a new thai restaurant - and we weren't sorry that we slipped khaosanin this time. the service was impeccable - really, food and ambience aside, it was the service that made this restaurant stand out for me. with true thai hospitality, complete with the slight bow of the head and the lilt in their intonation of questions, their smiles and helpfulness matched their knowledge of each of the dishes. while the prices and the portions are typical of any thai restaurant downtown, go for the service. say sawasdee to khaosanbecause i hope it stays around for a long time! two thumbs up!

always a pleasure.... i've been coming to khaosanthai 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 khaosanhave 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 khaosansalsa scallops pad thai crying tiger salmon panang curry and sweet and sour basa

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. khaosanwas a great surprise. great food, nice decore, attentive service, and reasonably priced. one of my new favourites!
