Absolutely amazing place! The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was simply amazing. I ordered the black pepper beef and it was not too spicy but had just the right amount of peppery flavor. The beef was tender and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly as they were not rubbery but still had a little bit to them.
Vegetarian review:
The ambience is really calm and peaceful. And the greeter was cheerful.
I had lunch there and ordered
- Green curry with fried spring roll - it was great, a must try
- Hot and sour soup with noodles(Tom yum) - it was okayish, but quantity was very good
- Fresh spring rolls - it was the start of the meal, sooo amazing and refreshing.
- Thai Iced coffee - perfect, delicious to pair up with the meal. Highly recommend
- Deep fried banana with ice cream - didn’t liked it much, not as per my taste panel maybe
All an all it has great options for vegetarians and you can definitely give it a try.
I ate here twice while in Halifax. I had Pad Thai one night and Spicy Noodles the next. The Pad Thai was a lot sweeter than any I have ever had before and would have benefited from a squeeze of lime but it was hot, tasty and the portion size was very generous.
Service was quick and friendly. When I arrived the second night and the server asked how I was, I mentioned I was cold and she offered hot water to drink instead of iced. I would not have thought to ask for that and it was greatly appreciated!
Overall food and experience was good…Highlight was soup - delicious and masaman curry and Thai fried rice tasted good as well….
Spring Roll is MINUS - so oily and had a weird smell of oil - Looks like they reused oil so many times and fried spring rolls in the same oil
Fast service and delicious food. The chicken red curry was incredibly rich and decadent. The pad thai was sweet and savoury. Great vegetarian and vegan options!
If you like Thai food, get the Cashew chicken and the green curry chicken. The cashew chicken with snow peas needs more cashews and snow peas and veg like thin carrot flowers but the sauce is amazing!
Pineapple pork was a pass… too sweet for me and sauce tasted like ketchup for lack of a better description. Chicken satay was just meh… no flavour and would be better as a yellow curry marinaded skewer. Did not get a cucumber sauce with it as it says on the menu and the peanut sauce was not very peanutty and was watery, it should be thicker and richer tasting.
I visited there on Sunday lunchtime, parking wasn't that bad. The environment and setting in Talay Thai was very nice, not so crowded. The service was good. We ordered from the lunch menu, Pad Thai noodles, red curry, fresh rolls. We enjoyed the food, but the portion seems a bit small. On our way out we saw the pineapple fried rice from the other table, which looks very good. For sure we will go back to try more different dishes next time.
My favourite Thai dish in the city - Pat Chaa Kai
Great lunch specials, too.
It’s not an authentic Thai restaurant since the cook is not from Thai. But so far it’s a the good Thai restaurant that I’ve tried in Halifax.
At ice cream for $2 extra to my mango sticky rice dessert. The mango here is not that good since it doesn’t come from the tropical country (would not recommend). Finally don’t know why they have Thai tea but don’t serve Thai milk tea which is the most popular drink.
Still worth a try.
I love when they give extra cream and sugar when i order a pot of tea.

This place is just wow!
Amazing kind staff, can do wonderful gluten free options and the portions, let's just say wear your fat pants cause they are huge! And worse you are so full but still want to keep eating!
We had pad Thai, papaya salad and mango sticky rice.
If we lived close to this place we'd be here weekly. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
