Good little St. James Thai place. Service is quick and food is always hot. Anything with the sweet creamy peanut sauce is amazing as are the curry dishes, especially the Matsoman (29a) which has cashews, pineapple and potato. There is a salmon red curry dish (17b) which is a sweet n sour flavour sensation. The signature pad Thai is delicious, our favourite is with the vermicelli instead of egg noodles. There are also a lot of vegetarian options and if you don't mind fish in the sauce, most items can be substituted with tofu, which is fried nice and crispy. The ambiance is quaint with authentic decorations and to top it off, the sounds of martial arts classes going on upstairs. Some may think it's loud, we think it adds the the charm of the whole experience.
We came here as a shot in the dark, we need to choose a place quick sort of decision and boy were we surprised.
The first look at the menu had us all excited as there were numerous items that sounded amazing. We ended up getting an order of Yor Tod, Yor Khao as well as Som Tam Thai for appetizers and they were delicious. When it came time for the main course I chose the Shrimp Matsaman and I could not have been happier. The dish was amazing on top of the delicious coconut rice. My only dissapointment is that it was so good that everyone at the table had to have their own taste and there was even less for me to enjoy.
The atmosphere was nice. Decorations were what you expect walking into a place like that and everyone there seemed to be having a good time.
The service was amazing. Our waitress was extremely friendly and very helpful with the menu and with giving recommendations on the individual dishes. Another overlooked fact was that the food delivery was smooth and fast.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be going back again.
One of my favourite Thai places. SO GOOD. The staff are super friendly as well. Great atmosphere. Worth the trip from the East to the West End!
Recommend!
I cannot rave enough about this restaurant. The quality of food is always amazing, fresh picked and served that day. I love the feel of the restaurant and the owners are very polite and welcoming. I have my favourites and then try a new dish every time we go, and trust me we live on the other end of the city, yet venture to this little gem in the wall!
I have had some dishes that have not been to my liking but I have leant that doesn't make a restaurant bad, dishes have different flavours for different people. It is important for a restaurant to offer these choices to please everyone, it's just learning what your favourites are!
Yum!. I like Thai more than most other cuisines, so I can only say that I like this place and would go back any time. The food has always been tasty. Better food than at a burger place, for sure.
I ordered take out and wasn't too impressed with their pad Thai which was surprising. The rice paper rolls were good, wasn't a lot of chicken (barely any) they definitely made up for it with the Kaeng Khlaw Warn. It was amazing but extremely spicy! I enjoy spicy food and I found it a quite powerful! They definitely need a warn-ing for that dish!!
Good Experience!!. Last time we were here was the summer of 2007.......7 years ago.
Have been overseas to Bangkok on vacation a few times in that span, and thought a return trip to this local restaurant was long overdue to remind of us that vibe.
Started off with an Appetizer. #7) Som Tam Thai.
Our Main's were:
#19) Shrimp Kai Pad Med Manuang Himapham
#29a) Beef Matsaman
#30a) Chicken Pad Thai Wun Sen
All excellent choices, and very well prepared.
The restaurant is clean, the food is good, and the service is prompt and friendly.
We're definitely coming back. Now, all they need is to bring in some Leo beer!

Delicious. A regular favorite. A family owned business that is proud to serve the food they do, and so they should. They never bite off more than they can chew, or take on more business than they can handle so the product always stays high quality. I'm a little disappointed that they feel the need to dump so much toxic MSG into their food. Its so delicious and doesn't require this horrible chemical to make it taste good. Unfortunately they are making it harder to get no MSG by pre making some of their food with it. That's too bad because aside from this fact, it is one of my favorite restaurants in Winnipeg. Wish they would deliver. Would highly recommend but ask for no MSG.
Love this place!. The food is always so tasty! And very authentic and cozy interior. Just not too happy that they have been tinkering with their recipes to accommodate gluten free in more top sellers. It has changed the flavours and now some of my faves can't be ordered MSG free either. I've been coming here a long time and will continue to do so. Staff is very friendly.
My Lunch Go to spot. I go here very often at lunch because I work close by. I figure for an entire meal that I can hardly finish and it being real food and under $15 I'm happy. The staff are so nice and friendly, a real family style restaurant. I highly recommend this place.
Beautifully kind staff and talented chef. This food always seems to be great. Never a disappointing choice to come here. Would even take my grandmother!
We went there for my birthday in July and had a great meal. The food was great and the decor spectacular. The waitress showed me an origami flower which I didn't know how to fold. I took it home and figured it out.
RICE WRAPS. This is my favourite place to take my girlfriend. The owners are such hard workers and he a fantastic menu. I've been here so many times and never left unhappy. Fabulous place.
Absolutely Delicious. I ordered cold rolls, shrimp pad thai and panang chicken curry with rice and a lychee juice to drink. Others have said the portions were small, and im not going to say they are large but they are about perfect for what we *should* be eating for a meal, not our american-size portions that are rubbing off on our country. Im a big guy and i would have been happy with the cold rolls and one entree dish. (I just had to try them both!) The curry was the best I've had and the pad thai was pretty good too. Service was meh but the guy seemed new, and the food came out very fast, although I came in after their lunch rush. I would highly reccomend this place. Too bad im just passing through town, or I'd be back!
Excellent quality. But like another reviewer said, the quantity was a bit lacking...
will go back again for sure, though!

I chose to stop here on a whim as I was not familiar with this restaurant and was in the mood for thai food. I ordered the Thai Green Curry with Beef and my guest ordered a standard Pad Thai. I was very impressed with Thai Green Curry which is my favorite dish. The Pad Thai was not stellar but was very good. I enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant and was quite comfortabel. The pricing was excellent for the food and I will certainly be going back to try more of their dishes.
One of my Fav's. I love this place. The quantity is small but food is very tasty. I love the Panang Curry and Pad Thai noodles.
Pretty Good. We live in the neighborhood and this is place is in our rotation of Friday night takeout places. I have eaten inside a few times as well. The food is not the best Thai I've had, but not bad at all. The peanut sauce is awesome. Just to clarify, as another reviewer said this restuarant is outside the city, it isn't - it's on Portage just west of Moray.
Red Curry = amazing!!. Great food at a great price! We love Thai food and this place is one of the best we've been to.
Best Thai in the city, hands down.. If you're going out for any asian food whatsoever, I completely recommend Pad Thai. Their food isn't greasy or gross, like most other food places that offer asian food, but they do have awesome curries. If you go, make sure to try the Pad Thai (obviously), and the rice rolls with veggies and pork. If you're in the mood for a fruity drink, make sure to get the Lycee, it's delecious! This is definitely one of my family's favourite restaurants!
The food is fresh and the dishes are true to traditional Thai cooking. Arguably the best Thai curries in the city.
Overall Pad Thai was excellent. I cannot state enough how important it is to use authentic ingredients and cooking styles and Pad Thai does it in spades! For anyone in the St. James region it is an automatic recommendation for good Thai cuisine. I daresay it might rank highly as one of the best Thai restaurants in all of Winnipeg.
I've been in Winnipeg for a year and this is my favorite restaurant!! I ordered food from here every week and I literally almost tried all combinations. I am a huge fan of Thai food and I gotta say they have very authentic Thai food!! The service is also very very nice, making me enjoy their food much more! I followed their Ins account and I found that they helped local hospitals and police stations a lot during Covid, such a warm restaurant. Please try their food and service you won't be disappointed!!
This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the city. Even though I’m not close, I’ll still go here over any others Thai restaurant. Excellent food and wonderful owners!
Their green and red curry soups are probably my favorite.
We had a crunchy noodle dish and a curry dish. Both were excellent! Staff was very helpful suggesting what we would like and they were right! The price I thought was very good for the quantity and quality of the food. Restaurant also has super cute decor, although I think they are closed now temporarily for in person dining. We will definitely try their take out soon.
Pad Thai is my favourite Thai food restaurant in town! The service is always excellent and food super tasty. Their signature Pad Thai is amazing, it’s even better with sriracha sauce. Pad Seuw is another dish that I really like, it’s flavourful and filling. My grandpa is a peanut lover, so his favourite dish is the “Peanut Lover”. There are so many different foods that you can choose from, there’s something here for everyone :).
Absolutely delicious Thai food! Some of the best curry I've had in the city! Large portions too. Highly recommend the deep fried spring rolls, pad Thai, and panang.
