I really enjoyed my experience here. I have been trying a few various Thai restaurants throughout Calgary, and I feel this place has taken my #1 spot so far. There was a nice variety on the menu. I had the Panang curry with coconut rice. It was delicious! I will be back again to try more options. The staff was very friendly, and the bathrooms were super clean!

I've always enjoyed this restaurant. It has Thai decorations, but not over the top, and lots of humorous sayings on plaques to keep us amused. The owners seem to have a sense of humour and aren't afraid to be unique, which is a nice change in this day and age. The service and food has always been good in the past and was again this time too.
A friend and I met here, ordered the Papaya Salad with medium spice, the Lemon Chicken appetizer and the Swimming Rama (who could resist a name like that!) with coconut rice.
It was lovely to have a gluten-free "breaded" item but it didn't quite live up to my expectations, it was a bit past crunchy and more into just hard. It was fine when I dipped it into the peanut sauce that was part of the Swimming Rama though. And I did quite like the lemon sauce so not all was lost.
The Papaya salad was something I've not had before, I enjoyed it, but can't say if it was the way it was supposed to be or not really.
For dessert we each had the Mango/coconut rice and it was just fine.
We managed a couple of pots of Thai tea as well. It was an herbal tea, naturally sweet, with a subtle flavour of its own. You can buy boxes of it to take home, which I might just do next time I want to add to my tea collection.
It looks like they have a buffet option as well, but I didn't pay attention to it as buffets are generally a mine field for gf folk.
I have to remember to pop in for lunch more often when I am doing business at this end of the city, the parking is free, the prices are reasonable, the food tasty and the service quick. :-)
Thai Boat is an excellent choice. The restaurant is pretty basic and the dishes are fairly standard Thai, but the flavours are excellent. Highly recommended.
Great food and friendly service. Price is reasonable too. Only thing I can think of that would be negative is portion size could be a little better. Other than that...highly recommended!
Best Thai in town! The chef really cares and the place is spotless. Love it. Try the "Terminator Pad Thai" it is the chef's own recipe and it is incredible.
I love this place! It's got tons of character with its nautical-authentic Thai decor complete with neon lights. Above all the food is delicious! It has excellent quality ingredients that are served with great generosity. I ordered a green curry (Thai spicy level) and it was so tasty. The only thing that would make this restaurant better is if they had a greater selection of soups. They only offer very small size Tom-Yum. Hopefully they will add more soup to their menu.
Good food lovers, this is a place that offers you Authentic Thai food. This is very important to note. Because if you're expecting a salty, savoury 'Thai Express' feel, unfortunately, this isn't the best place for you.
Everything here is made as though you were going to someone's home, and if that floats your (Thai) boat, then welcome home. The portions are substantial for what you're paying, and one dish can generally satisfy a pretty big appetite.
Be aware of the sweet concoctions of flavour, and respect the spices that they use. It really does taste like you're eating food made from ingredients you can find nearby.
Enjoy!
Had two recent experiences with thai boat, one being the Wednesday lunch buffet and another was ordering for pickup. I'm glad to say Both were positive delicious experiences. The buffet was 12$ and offered 5 different dishes which were fresh and delicious, the basil beef being the stand out and chicken wings.
Ordering for pickup was very quick, and food was flavourful especially the red curry sauce, but the reg pad thai needed something a little more it was a little on the bland side.
Prices are reasonable, food tastes fresh and delicious, the atmosphere inside is very relaxing and comfortable, and would be nice of portions were a little larger. Check it out!!
Had the red curry with chicken and coconut rice. Very delicious. Menu is a little overwhelming the first time you go, there's a lot of choices.
For Thai food this place is quite authentic. I discovered this place with my co worker and she loves thai food especially the tom yum soup. I love the inside of the place as it has nice character. We never had to wait for a seat and the service is great. I always order the Sarm Sahai - a popular thin noodle dish with chicken, beef and pork and veggies. It also comes with a crispy wonton :) i love that added touch. The sauce is a delicious and flavourful thai boat red sauce. Im always left wanting more after my dish hahaa. must be the spices.
