Absolutely love this Thai restaurant. The flavors are amazing and the restaurant offers a beautiful dining experience. Can't say enough. My fave in Calgary
It's tucked into the Airport Traveller's Inn Hotel. I had some of the best authentic thai dishes here. I went with my family. You need to go early to get a spot because it fills up quickly on the weekends. But it's worth the wait if you have to wait in line. We got the pineapple fried rice with chicken ( you can choose your own meat), a noodle dish that came with crispy fried noodles that you add into this coconut sauce that had vegetables and your choice of meat accompanied by a plate of thinly sliced red onion, bean sprouts, lime and a chili oil. We also tried this dish that was called garlic chicken or something like that because it had tons of fried garlic with your choice of meat we got garlic and it was amazing. All the food was very flavorful and filling. Each dish can be shared by atleast three people because they have good sized portions. I highly recommend this place.
Very flavourful! Even the westernized pad Thai is decent, though the green curry (with chicken) is the winner. Excellent quality & quantity. (4.5/5)
This hidden gem (and I do mean hidden) has some of the best Thai in the city. I was first discouraged by the fact that the entrance is a hole in the wall of a seedy looking hotel. The line-up just inside that door, and a small trophy case of local foody awards was encouraging, but it’s still a hallway in this seedy looking hotel. Then you get inside... it’s like being transported to another destination (probably Thailand) entirely. They had me the moment I smelled what was being cooked. We had the green curry, pad thai, and stir fry with soup and spring rolls. It was all excellent, from the service to the decor. Wow. Highly recommend. 😋
Best Thai food in the city. Flavors so Rich and food so fresh and food comes out nice and hot. Great portions too! Friendly staff, feels like family. I can’t will my next visit!
This was our first visit here & we were taken by a friend. It would of been hard to find (hidden entrance) if our friend didn’t take us, but it was definitely worth it!!!
It is a small restaurant with beautiful decor and when you walk in — it smells amazing! Luckily, they did not disappoint! The service was very good btw. We liked that they didn’t bug us too frequently, or usher us out either, because we stayed for a few hours.
The food is perfect, and I don’t say this lightly. We ordered the Pad Thai w/ chicken, the Curry Pineapple Rice w/ chicken, and the Pad Se Ew w/ chicken. The food takes a bit to cook since they actually prepare it fresh, but we didn’t mind as they were busy and it tasted delicious!!! The curry in particular was a surprise that I liked it because I normally am not a curry-lover, but this had a lot of flavour without being overwhelming. The portions are definitely excellent too. We could of easily ordered only 2 dishes for the 3 of us (but that’s okay cause we love leftovers).
We are 100% going to go back. We’re actually going to take my parents in about 2wks when they visit from out of town. We highly recommend this restaurant.
PS for us, it was about $60/3ppl including 1 drink each.
Their portion sizes are fantastic. We love thai food, and some of the other places are pretty expensive for what they give you. We actually had leftovers after ordering for a party of 5. The food could use a bit more salt (for my liking) but it was delicious, the curry especially! I appreciate their wide range of gluten-free options too :)
I’ve never had Thai food with such authentic flavours out of this world. The space inside the hotel makes you feel like your in a little piece of Thailand and the staff are amazing people🌶🌶
Decided to try White Elephant Thai Cuisine for my birthday dinner the other night after reading all of the great reviews. It did not disappoint! The food came out quickly after we ordered and everything was delicious! The yellow curry, coconut rice, and pad Thai were my favourites. The green curry, red curry, and fried rice were also really yummy. The portion sizes were huge! All 6 of our party left incredibly full, but we still had lots of left overs. Don’t let the location fool you, this place is an absolute gem!
I cannot recommend this place enough! So delicious and spicy. The servings are huge and the atmosphere is quaint. I have never recieved bad or even mediocre service the multiple times I have eaten here. I have had both red and green curry, the pad Thai, Satay skewers, spring rolls, and the basil stir fry with shrimp and everything is fantastic. Don't be scared away by the restaurant being in a hotel that is... Rundown.
Some of the best food I have ever had. This little hole in the wall in NE Calgary is just outstanding. The new renovations on the inside look great, the staff is friendly and their food is the best Thai food in YYC. It is family shared style plates and it will blow you away time and time again.
Great flavours and portions. I love the masaman curry and the chicken pad Thai. You will have enough food for next day leftovers. The service is fast and the waiters are amazing!
First time visiting here from Edmonton
Tom yum was incredible, best I've had in my life!
Chilly fish was also excellent!
Last meal we had was pad thai, was pretty good, maybe a bit too sweet for my taste
Overall amazing food and service as well, can't wait to come back again!
Great food all round. Had the famous Thai milk tea, green curry with sticky rice and pad sew. Everything tasted as good as I ever had. I love Thai food and this definitely meets my expectation. They need to move to a better place for sure. The entrance is like a back of a shady motel. The food is great but the location and atmosphere should be a lot better.
After hearing several people tell about this place, we finally made it! It was GREAT! Besides it not being hot and no sweating, it felt like we were in Thailand! We had the Pad Thai, Green Curry and Papaya Salad. All were delicious! Great place! Totally recommended!
Top three for Thai food in Calgary, for me! Quality is consistent and great value. Pictured are the Thai Golden Tofu, Thai Chicken Satay, Thai Veggie Spring Rolls and Spicy Noodle.
Fantastic food. Very flavorful, not sweetened excessively like other places. When you walk in, you wonder if you're in the right place, they lead you to the dining room which is very nice.
I had the Pad Thai, another party at the table had a noodle dish I can't remember.
So flavorful, very authentic, and hot in temperature, and spice (as requested)
