Pad Thai - Calgary

A very good place for Thai food. Service is friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Get here early or make a reservation on the weekend as it gets busy.

Absolutely delicious food, something for everyone in our relatively picky family and great customer service. So glad a friend recommended this place, its the best Thai food I’ve had in Calgary. Special shout out to the mango rice!

Good food and service. We loved the Pandan chicken and drunken prawns, of course the green curry beef.

In Canada, I’ve been on the prowl for good food that has umami that kick like a mule. Some places are either painfully salty or plain tasteless. Here came Pad Thai Restaurant, an amazing eatery that’s extremely faithful to Thai roots without trying too hard. I reviewed Pad Thai Restaurant based on food quality, ambiance, server attentiveness, and value. If I could only give six stars for each, I would!The ambiance is great for big groups and is kid friendly. You’re treated to a relaxing atmosphere with dimmed lights. The servers were helpful. They helped guide us to the menu and even gave us recommendations for the next time we come back. And we will.We started with a Thai crowd favorite: the Chicken Satay. The chicken was well-seasoned and tender (think Kobe/Wagyu Beef quality) but for chicken. The chicken was covered in the signature peanut sauce which combines suave texture and a complex flavor profile which balanced sweetness and nuttiness. It was a great complement to the main course—the Pad Thai. Not wanting to misrepresent the restaurant’s namesake, the dish was the ultimate spirit of a Thai meal. The noodle serving was heaping. It was topped with chicken, huge shrimp, and fried tofu cubes. It’s as if all the animals decided that the afterlife all led to this plate. I ordered it Hot, and even though the spiciness delivered, the flavors were still equally sharing the spotlight. We even had to order additional peanut sauce because it just works. The sauce added to the complexity of it all. Jesus, it was a party in your mouth. We finished with their signature Thai Iced tea which is both a dessert and a drink. It was as sweet as I expected it to be, but you can top it off with more water to balance it out (plus, you’ll get more drink which is nice). Obviously at around $20-$30 per person (depends if you have drinks or a dessert), this was worth every penny. We even had extra food to take home. Quality and quantity was there without hurting your wallet.If you’re around Mount Pleasant and you want an authentic Asian meal, look no further to the Pad Thai Restaurant where the name is a literal advertisement for the food. Hell, go here even if you’re not from the area. It checks all of my preferences as a foodie. More than that, price value was excellent with what you’re getting. It pulls no punches in ingredients, ambiance, and service.Kid-friendliness: They allow kids.Parking: It's a shared lot free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: The area's wheelchair-accessible.Dietary restrictions: Almost everything here has nuts.

We went to Pad Thai over mother's Day weekend. Their food is fantastic, especially their bang bang shrimp, tom yum soup and red curry. But the portions weren't all that great and it was pretty pricy.
