Shrimp tails black, food had very little taste. Food just didn’t seem fresh. Really, not even a 3 star. Won’t be going back Went into the washroom just after they opened at noon and the washroom had a pile of poop in the toilet and a pad, and the washroom wasn’t even closed off. This had to be from the day before because we were the first customers of the day. Disgusting! This place used to be good but definitely has gone downhill. So sad to see.
I very often give out 1 star reviews. However all the food we were given was cold and tastless. We ordered a fried rice, massaman curry and a chicken pad see ew. All dishes lacked any type of flavour. The massaman curry was insanely watery and the meat was very tough. The fried rice was incredibly plain. I've had a better fried rice from a 24 hour take out shop. There was again a lack of flavour and all ingredients was tough and overcooked. The pad see ew tasted like it was cooked in a light soy sauce and the chicken was dry. Won't order again from this place and will look for Thai food in Calgary.
The dinners here are fantastic. If you can handle spice, the green curry has the best sauce I've ever had in a curry. We also ordered the Chicken drunken noodles and it was so good. Also, their coconut rice has the perfect amount of coconut flavour. This place is one of Cochrane's hidden gems for sure and we will always come back for the food and friendly service.
This restaurant has consistently been one of the best restaurants in town. Great in-restaurant and equally great take out. Get the Tom Yum soup and the green curry!
This is a five star food experience. I am a vegan and found a few dishes to enjoy. I've lived coast to coast tasted awesome Thai food in Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Toronto. Not very many great places to eat Thai food in Cochrane. The best place for most authentic Thai cuisine, Chiang Rai. I've been twice and second time order the Pad Thai. Noodles were soggy no peanut taste. Other than that I'd definitely recommend 👌
I had higher expectations due to reading other reviews. My rolls were ok, nothing outstanding but my entree was better (big portion so even when I had the leftovers warmed up the next day it was yummy! Service wasn't great...no welcome, no smile, harried, no "thank you for coming".
Lots of flavour and very friendly staff. We ordered lunch special 1 and 2 and could not be happier. I one was Green Curry and it had a great kick to it. We will definitely come back very soon! Update, we went there many more times and I tried so many more of their dishes. All great! But honestly I’m in love with their Red Curry dish. It’s perfect specially with a side of coconut rice! 💯😋
The green curry and steamed rice were delicious! A real delicate flavour to the curry, and the veggies had perfect texture. I wish they offered lunch combos so that I could get a smaller portion with rice for under $13. The server was not very happy not attentive despite only 2 tables occupied. I will be back later, hopefully with a friend so we can share the cost.
The rice alone is fire!
Food is delicious and friendly service
I love their chicken tom yum soup . I am scared to try anything else for fear of missing out. The menu has some really good stuff on it.
Excellent tasty Thai food. The owners are great .
Sorry but the food here was inedible. Coconut curry were more like water curries. Server got the Order wrong, and was rude to one of us for asking for more chilli. Food
Food is alway fantastic!!
Great food!
The chicken skewers were completely raw - like not cooked at all. And the main course was sub-par. Overall it was not great
Great place! Food is great! Tomyam all the way!
We were served instant noodles for our Drunken Noodles dish. Red curry was watery and Rice dish was just barely Thai. So disappointed. Wondering how they got 4 stars. Customer service was non existent. Food : 1/5
So friendly, always remember us when we call in our order and ask how we are doing. Love this place! Vegetarian options: Love the curry dishes with tofu! Dietary restrictions: I m celiac and it s never an issue! Kid-friendliness: Great family environment
Was quite surprised how delicious our meal was - cashew chicken
I love this place with a passion I didn t know I could have. Business has definitely died down after Covid and I can t understand why. I dream of the coconut rice and curry every night before bed. If you want to eat like a king, eat here. The one server they have is so sweet and she s amazing with kids on top of everything else.
Best restaurant in town and prices are great too.
Excellent food. Chiang Rai has become my family s annual Christmas Eve take out place. Their prices are very reasonable and are accommodating for food substitutes. Highly recommended.
Massaman curry was extremely bland and split. The coconut rice had more flavour.
I love this place. The food is excellent, really well balanced and fresh tasting and flavourful. The waitress is efficient and friendly and has a weirdly good memory for customers and their favorite orders. Favorites are the green curry, basil fried rice, and cashew chicken.
Tasty lunch specials with great prices. The basil stri fry was enjoyable. A gem of a small business.
Never Ever Trust Takeout order, No one pick your phone or available when to go for pre paid pick up
Excellent food! Friendly owner. Lovely atmosphere!!
The dinners here are fantastic. If you can handle spice, the green curry has the best sauce I ve ever had in a curry. Their sweet and sour fish will put your typical sweet and sour chicken to shame. Also, their coconut rice has the perfect amount of coconut flavour. This place is one of Cochrane s hidden gems for sure.
Waiters service is pleasant and friendly Parking: Vehicles can park in front of the restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible and the toilet is quite large!
High hopes as I love eating Thai food, but the only dish I liked was the mango sticky rice dessert. We ordered the drunken noodles, Tom yum soup, and spicy mussels. The flavours were underwhelming and the drunken noodles were made with what looks like instant noodles . It should ve been made with wide rice noodles. Spicy mussels wasn t spicy and had an unpleasant aftertaste.
The food was okay. Very little options for vegitarian. Placebwas clean. It wont survive in the bigger city. Parking: Parking wont be an issue.
This is not even close to Thai food. Only giving a 2 star because I like to support local, but this is not Thai food on any level. Pad see ew was made with skinny instant noodles and the flavour was no where to be found. Sad to say i would not recommend.
We order take out. The service and food are great.
We ordered a curry and coconut rice and both were fine. The curry had too much star anise for a single dish and the curry was very thin. The roti dessert and mango sticky rice desserts were worth going back for though!
Ordered takeout and it was ready pretty quickly (15 minutes). Service was efficient and not unfriendly. The pineapple stir fried rice with chicken and shrimp was ok for flavor, but no pineapple to be found so not really the pineapple fried rice I ordered. I prefer fresh veggies in my stirfry, but I don t hold it against businesses who cut costs and time by using a frozen blend. The pad thai was fairly bland, so just ok. It s not somewhere I would avoid, but I also won t be rushing back.
Wonderful food, fantastic flavors!! Thoroughly enjoyed everything!
Delicious Thai food in a cozy setting. One of the best spots to eat in Cochrane.
Excellent as always.
Great Thai food!
You can experience real Thai food!
Outstanding food! Absolutely delicious. We ordered rice chicken wraps, deep fried shrimps, beef and veggies, chicken and spring onions. Outstanding!
My go to place for Thai when passing through Cochrane Alberta
Theres a few options for Thai in Cochrane. I picked the wrong one. Frozen reheated soggy water logged tofu (even though it was fried at one point) very little flavour, the meal was a let down.
Horribly bland and certainly not Thai! Ordered three items, each competing to be the worst. The drunken noodles was essentially stir fried instant noodles, the massaman curry was something thawed from the freezer (the potatoes were spoilt, the gravy was watery), and the spicy grilled basa was essentially pan-fried breaded frozen fish. Absolutely disappointed!!
Bland. The pad tai tasted like plastic.
My wife and I come here often, best Pad Thai I ve ever had. Ask for the spicy with shrimp and tofu. Affordable, quiet and friendly. Thank you Chiang Rai!
Just moved to Cochrane, and love Thai food so I NEED a favourite local Thai restaurant! This is not it! have lived in Thailand for a total of four years, and will have to make my own food more often. This food was not bad, it just didnt make me think I was eating in Thailand. The reviews were so good, I expected more authentic Thai tastes. As a farang, I know that you dont have to be Thai to make good Thai food, but when I cant order in Thai, the food is often disappointing like this. Thai recipes and ingredients are so available now compared to forty years ago, we should all expect better Thai food than this.
Delicious
Very good Thai food. I too have been to many Thai restaurants around the world, and this particular one serves VG food with just the right amount of spice. I had spring rolls, served hot and crispy though with too little side sauces (sweet & sour as well as peanut) and spicy noodles with chicken. The latter was a large portion of very tasty noodles, veggies and chicken and at only $12.99 a great deal. The ambiance was clean but nondescript. the service was perfunctory, quick though not particularly friendly. Decent enough, however. I will definitely return and try the $10 lunch special.
Ordered Spicey noodles and pad Thai and the noodles were linguine!! So awful.
This restaurant has a 4.6 rating and a number of high reviews, so I was expecting better. Three of us arrived for lunch around 1:30 on a Friday. Two tables were already seated when we arrived, but the place was otherwise empty. Our server sat us promptly and was sufficiently attentive throughout the meal, but appeared to be unenthusiastic about her job. The walls had strips of paint missing and the decor was uninspired. Unfortunately, the food was uninspired as well. I had the beef salad. The dressing was good, but the beef was on the dry side and there was not enough vegetable to technically classify this dish as a salad. My companions did not particularly enjoy their orders (chicken coconut soup, lunch special with penang curry) either. Sorry to say, we wont be returning.
Always amazing food. Its literally one of my favourite places to eat. The family who run it are excellent buisness owners, super kind, and do an excellent job of getting their customers taken care of.
I don t know where Karen, I mean Sandra below is from but this place is great. I love the curry they make all flavours are great and when I don t have it for a while I go into withdrawal.
The green curry was really good, and service is quick. The pad thai left a bit more to be desired, it was bad per se but Ive had better.
Great food ... Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed, and we will be back. The food was enjoyable, lots of variety on the menu and tasty sounding dishes to try. Portion size was good (We shared two entrées, and a rice dish and took most of it home - $40 for 3 plates) Atmosphere was decent. Location was clean. Staff member was friendly, happy, smiley, and well-versed in the menu. We ended up sitting near a friend and her sister who said this was their place to go.
Excellent service, food was amazing!
Friendly staff, excellent service and food
Great curry with a large portion for a very reasonable price. It was delicious and I will definitely go back again.
Amazing food and very courteous staff, well be back!!
The best Thai food in Cochrane! The food is always fresh and delicious! Love the drunken noodles and beef skewers. Its a great option for takeout, or to dine in. The staff are very friendly, the restaurant is very clean and the ambiance is really nice.
Every time I get Chiang Rai, I am 100% satisfied. Try the panang curry and pad thai. Everything else is great, but I cant not get those each time. The restaurant itself is a cozy little affair for about 30 seats with some very cool art pieces. The staff are always very friendly, respectful, and attentive, and tonight were very gracious with our group, even though we came with only 50 minutes before close. We had our food within 10 minutes and were out of there with minutes to spare, but they never made us feel rushed or anything, even refilling our waters 10 minutes before they were set to close.
Excellent food, good service, relaxed atmosphere.
Best Thai food Ive ever had! Ate in and service was very fast. Anni our waitress was very cute with our baby and overall was a wonderful experience
Best soup ever
Always amazing.
Absolutely delicious, fresh and great service. Love the Red Curry very tasty, the pineapple gives it a nice contrast in flavor.
Me and my buddy got the pad thai and we were both not happy with the quality. They didnt even have the proper chilli sauce. The waitress was not too friendly either. I have had much better thai in Cochrane..
Just alright. Definately not very authentic. Very much westernized with very little flavor. Honestly probably wont be back
Superb Thai food!
Amazing! Best Thai Food I have ever had!
Amazing Thai food!
Great food. Small place but very reasonable pricing and excellent quality. Love the ginger lemon chicken. Nice staff.
Yummy food...always enough to have left overs for the next day.
Best Thai food I have ever had in my entire life. Friendly service, extremely quick and delicious. Love it there and will go back again asap
Best Thai food ever
I really like the food here. Yellow curry and coconut rice are amazing here. Pad Thai super good too. One of my favorite restaurants in Cochrane!
Canmore is a young and growing town a short distance from Calgary on the lovely route 1A which is a pleasant alternative to the Trans-Canada when heading to and from the Rockies The Chang Rai is in a little mall and has some of the best Thau food I have eaten. The mango salad is a standout and the curries most acceptable. The Pad Thai was a little too sweet for my taste but an incredible find. Well worth a detour.
OMG we read the reviews on line and said that can t be true But it is !!!! Wow what great food Fast pleasant and great value Highly recommend anybody to take the leap of faith you won t be disappointed What a great meal !
Excellent food at very good prices. The menu isnt huge but everything Ive had had been delicious. Great lunch special that gets you in and out in about 30 minutes.
The chicken satay and deep fried banana are amazing, the pricing is very reasonable and the staff are friendly. I dont often try new things, but every person Ive taken here to eat has really liked everything.
3.5- lukewarm service, just okay food.
Almost everything can be made vegan and/or GF and every dish is made fresh to order. The staff are friendly and prices are reasonable. My favourite Cochrane restaurant!
Green curry was excellent and the coconut rice was a nice touch. Portion size was very good. The server was very nice and polite. Would definitely go back.
Love this place, I get food here often. Coconut milk red thai curry seafood soup is killer and so is pad Thai
Nice and cozy, great food.
I went there on Tue night, not so many people. I ordered a garlic shrimp and the sauce is little sweet for me. The food is okay and the ambience is nice.
Great restaurant for lunch, we do it often. Lunch special with chicken cashew and coconut rice FTW!
Super disappointed. Read the reviews on line and expected it to be so much better. The Papaya salad was sad & sickly. Ive had this dish many times over the years and it has never tasted or looked so dismal and unappealing. The other 2 dishes werent any better. I will never go back.
Little hole in the wall restaurant with Fantastic authentic Thai food! Friendly service.
Awesome curry, love the salad rolls and peanut sauce...service is always great, never disappointed...coconut rice is a amazing as well
Good food. Good portion size. Price is very good.
Great food, friendly servers, lovely artwork.
The food is great here and so is the service
A favourite! Weve been many times. Consistent food quality, with solid service. Lunch Specials are a great deal.
Great!
Excellent food. Had the pad thai and a green curry with chicken. Service was pleasant and the restaurant had ample seating.
Love Annie & the rest of the team. We go here on a regular basis for delicious, safe, gluten free food. Highly recommend to everyone.
Awesome service. Great food.
Friendly environment for family of 4.
Had the drunken noodles with shrimp and the green curry with chicken. It was very tasty! Not to mention the great service and reasonable prices
So good
One of our favorite places to eat in Cochrane! The coconut rice is fantastic and we love the curries there too!
Amazing Thai! Love the mango salad & red curry :)
Tasty food and good service, had the lemon ginger chicken and a curry. Spiced just right with lots of flavour. Try the Thai Iced Tea, its different and pretty good!
I recently moved here and was so happy to find a Thai place that I love just as much as my favorite back in Vancouver. The Pad Thai is delightful!
The food was perfectly made. Veggies were crisp and chicken was tender. Food was prepared quickly. Wait staff was friendly and approachable. Decor was minimal but tasteful. Would definitely recommend!!
Very nice couple making great food!
The food is much better than the vegetarian place, and you can get almost any order you want vegetarian (or made to order). The staff are very polite and cheerful, and the prices are reasonable. The lunch specials are definitely worthwhile.
Good food. Lunch specials for $10 are delicious.
