  Always my first pick for authentic Thai food in Edmonton.
  
  Owner is always away traveling back home in Thailand.
  
  Highly recommend their curries and pistachio chicken dish. Both are very delightful.

  When you first walk in, you kinda notice that it is not your typical restaurant. On the wall on the left is the menu ( great choices of dishes and you can select your spice level from 1-5 )..
  There is no waitress or hostess per se.. it's kinda like fast food service but with freshly high quality food.
  Once you placed your order , find a table and have a seat . It does not take long to get your food.. it's fast and hot.
  
  We had a starter of calamari ( lightly breaded and perfectly cooked ) and chicken satay ( kinda dry but it was tasty ).
  
  My friend ordered the soup ( Tom Kha ) and I ordered the Pad Thai.
  
  We were just finishing our appetizers when the entrees arrived.. it was piping hot. We had to let it sit for a few minutes to cool down.
  
  The serving size for the soup was perfect.. my pad thai dish could have been a bit more loaded.
  
  Dont get me wrong.. the food was absolutely delicious. This was our second visit . so they are definitely doing something right. It is kinda odd though that each time we have gone, we were the only ones in there.. but we did see a few  SKIP THE DISHES drivers come in for orders.
  
  The place is super clean and the owners are always smiling and greeting you with a smile.

  When you open the door to this cosy mom and pop Thai place, you're greeted by the inviting aroma of sweet nutty rice cooking.  Order and pay at the counter, then find your own table.  Staff are pleasant, attentive, and generous with the smiles.  
  
  I tried the Pad Sweet Basil for a main, and veggie spring rolls for an appetizer.  The spring rolls were tasty--crispy, cabbagey, and served piping hot.  The stir fry was also on point--strong on the basil with fresh veggies.  Note that rice is conveniently included with the main (as opposed to an extra charge).  A fellow diner's pad thai was also fantastic, not the overly sweet ketchup-heavy version of the dish that can sometimes pop up in other restaurants.
  
  I appreciated the no fuss, no muss nature of the dining experience.  Tasty food served in a clean, unpretentious environment.

  The green curry here was probably the best I've ever had!! The place is small and nothing fancy but the Thai food is fantastic!

  I had the pad num prik chow with beef and jasmine rice level 1 spice this time just for something different than my usual chicken pad Thai. The dish was sweet but not coconut flavoured as so many are here.
  The place has a casual but clean vibe and service is good aside from the counter ordering system. Friendly staff have been there to help when needed. I think I'll ask go for level2 or3 spice next time. I'll definitely go back. The prices are reasonable and the food is reliable.
