Every time I have gone to this place it has had a nice warm vibe to it. The staff have been friendly, inviting, and will cater to your food restrictions. To top that off the food has always tasted awesome. It has been convenient for both dining in or out. If you like Thai food and you haven't been here, I think it is worth it to try it out.

Been to this place many times, both dine in and take out. Old house so main floor is bit crowded and dark. Stairs to upper floor very narrow. Upstairs is better but usually slower to be served. Overall food is tasty for people who like Asian cuisine. Not bad for value with the price in DT.

Spicy noodles with tofu and vegetable stir fry both tasted good. The place has great ambience and service 🌸 I’m knocking off one star because all their curries and soups had a shrimp paste (which is not mentioned anywhere on the menu), making it unavailable for us vegetarians. We wouldn’t have chosen this restaurant if we had known this in the first place. Overall, a nice place that doesn’t offer lots of options for vegetarians.

This place is small but mighty! It's a long-standing, iconic restaurant that has been serving the community excellent food for years. If you're going for lunch, you better book a reservation. It fills up fast. Good portions and value for what you get. The service was solid, and my food was delicious. Unfortunately, one of the meals had a hair in it, and another was inaccurate, but both were promptly replaced.

Second time trying Viphalay, except this time it's dining in because I wanted to try and experience eating inside the restaurant and trying the food piping fresh from the kitchen. Parking can be an issue because it's located downtown, and there's only street parking where you have to pay. Food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the pad Thai, green curry with chicken and coconut rice. Everything was super flavorful and delicious! Service was good, and the food came pretty fast. Best Thai restaurant in Edmonton, hands down!

This place is a 10/10 The food is delicious, we’ll flavoured and great quality. We ordered a lot of dishes and everything we ordered was a hit. Their dessert is too good to be true, roti roll and the banana pancakes are heavenly. The service is great too and everyone there is extremely welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend checking this place out as it’s one of the best Thai restaurants around. You will not be disappointed.

Very nice place, good service, with a standard Thai menu. The fish soup was amazing! Just homey, delicious, and perfectly balanced. The rest of our meal was good, but felt a little whitewashed: especially the use of chicken breast rather than more varied and more flavourful cuts of chicken. Not my favourite in Edmonton, but still pretty good!

Very impressed by the flavour of the dishes. I come here often for both lunch and dinner and the quality has never dropped. Such a hidden gem in downtown! I love the coconut soup! The staff welcomes us nicely and seats us quickly! This is such a good place for a date or even a work dinner! You will want to try everything on the menu!

Good food, but the customer service was terrible. The guy said we re closing so start licking your ice cream or else we ll make you do all our work. It wasn t funny like that because we haven t been making jokes with him and he kinda said it out of the blue. Then he left the cheque for us to divide among ourselves.

An Edmonton staple when it comes to Thai food. You know restaurants adapted from homes are always the best. You would call it a hole in the wall if it wasnt so famous. Pad Thai is great, so far all the curries Ive tried are great. Lunch meat deals every day. About $20 for any lunch there. I love the brown curry. Vegetarian options: All curries can be served with tofu or veg.

I ordered Tom yum soup and a bunch of stuff from here. Pad Thai etc. 100+ dollars of food. 1) there was a hair in my soup. Absolutely disgusting. 2) how do you not supply forks, spoons, napkins for a big order like this? Instead of CHEAPING out on supplying cutlery I would practise you give some with your orders and wear hair nets. Will never be back.

As a Thai food lover, I had to find a great place to visit, as an out of towner. We started off with Thai samosas, which is not to be confused with Indian samosas. It s much thinner and packed full of flavours. We ordered a pad Thai, fish curry and coconut rice. Everything was so delicious, so flavourful. Service was excellent. Definitely visit again when I go to Edmonton!!!

December 22, 2023

$25 for a single serving of Pad Thai is excessive especially when it was bland and shy on chicken and prawns. The vegetarian spring rolls (at $15 for an order) were close to inedible. They appear to be bulk ordered and not made in house. The dipping sauce was not classic Thai but instead simply Chili sauce from a bottle. I won t order from here again and I m suggesting you don t either.

I was extremely disappointed with the bad services and foods here. The restaurant owner lied it about being authentic Thai. Then lied and change the ethnic to Loas instead. The mom, female owner was previously stolen the foods, receip from the previous loyal owner that trusted her. She stole the recipe after scamming the previous restaurant owner. The restaurant speaks for itself. The review is correct, not a appeal restaurant exterior condition or inside either. The price is too expensive for a bad tasting, small portion. The food tasted gross too. I believe the previous review that the google reviews (5) is not true and accurate. Parking: As review not a stabilization, dangerous exterior health restrictions

Before the pandemic, this was one of my absolute favorite Thai places. Unfortunately, when I was finally able to return, the dishes seemed like they were much less homemade and more ready-made. Having said that, the flavors were still good, although a little too sweet for my liking. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes ingredients for my dietary needs,and we didnt have any wait when we arrived to be seated. So, overall, it was a pleasant enough experience for a working lunch, but I probably will not be clambering for another reservation. Dietary restrictions: I was able to ask and receive adequate information to ensure I could confidentiality eat here without getting sick. (Gluten, dairy, and egg)

Tuesday, the 20th June 2023 @ 20:45pm as I typed this review. My wife and I just returned from your restaurant. According to the server we re late but we were not late because we came before 7:30pm. The service was terrible on our table. Once the food was delivered there was no follow up on the how the food was or what we need. But the servers were all over other tables because they belong to a particular race/colour. It seemed like entertaining a certain group was their priority. I still tipped them more than 20% because I know what tips meant for a hospitality workers, including myself. My only advice is that please be professional in what you do irrespective of colour and race and keep your ratings high.

2022: Service didnt feel very inviting. Presentation of food could use some refining. They also didnt ask us our preferred spice level, which I thought wouldve been nice, seeing how other Thai restaurants generally inquire about before taking orders. Their glass noodle salad tasted too acidic - Ill go to Boualoung if Im craving this again. Probably wont return. 2023: Since my last review, quality of food and service has not changed sadly. We opted for Viphalay as a favourite restaurant of ours was closed. Their Laos Papaya Salad was hurtful to look at. I know they did not beat it in a mortar + pestle, but rather just took the shreds and drenched it with fish sauce. Portion was also baffling for $15. Come on, dont play with your patrons like that. Some of us are quite aware of how dishes are supposed to be prepared. Also, the servers we had were just monotonous and didnt seem happy to be there...This was later to be expressed in the food. Matsamun had too strong of a cinnamon profile and the potatoes tasted off. Everything was just ok, except for the Pad Thai - this tasted wonderful. Im sure Viphalay had its prime but that fire is slowly dwindling it seems. The inconsistent quality of food and service compared to their earlier years is a tell sign of this. Hope they can bring that experience back.

We placed an order for delivery and the restaurant missed our salad rolls. When I called them the man I spoke to refused to send them, refused to give me a refund and argued with me.

Amazing experience with some very unique Thai foods on their menu. Personal favorite is the drunken noodles if you enjoy spicy, or their coconut soup if you want refreshing non-spicy broth. Servers were very accommodating and kind. There is just a couple of (free) parking spots in front as it is downtown so you may need to find a parking lot close by. Its worth it! Parking: About 2 spots in the front but it can be hard to get them. There is plenty of paid parking downtown.

Too casual for evening dining. Place settings were pitiful to say the least, for evening dining. No cutlery except for a fork. Server did not even offer such. No nicely printed menu. Only a Xerox printout which has been wet many moons ago. Covid virus propagation? There was a QR code pasted to the table to access the menu meaning by phone which is not appropriate for the price of the dishes, which were on the high side. Food was not much different to the Chinese food except for the noodle dishes, which contained coconut milk I presume. The dish did not list that there would be shrimp in it, which my son is allergic to. Tin cups for water is not hygienic. Poor service where there was no welcome and introduction by the server, who took some time to get to us despite the place was not busy. Bottom line: not a place for evening dining although the price of dishes are indicative such. Not much different to Chinese food.

Time for an upgrade. I ve gone past this place for years, always noticing how full it seemed, always wanting to try it, unfortunately never getting around to it. Finally, last week we were able to dine in. We came in around open hoping to beat the crowds, another table sat politely in a corner and us in another across from them. The lights were blaring, though even more invasive now that it gets dark out at 4pm. Not only were the lights blaring but so was a random television playing the sports network. Not the typical Thai aesthetics I m used to. Now with the lights as bright as they were I was able to see absolutely every imperfection. From the thickening dust collecting on the window drapes and lights, to the spattered and paint chipped walls. With all the staff on, I would have assumed some were available for cleaning as there were only two tables of two sat. A faint, very randomized playlist played in the background but was heavily muted by the constant dinging of the online orders coming in and telephone constantly ringing. (I must also mention that the volume was cranked on the online ordering system, which I understand that you don t want your staff to miss, but this was excessive, have one staff member assigned to both the online order system and telephone and lower the volume of each). Now, combine all of these elements together and you get a rather poor, uninviting and confused atmosphere. The service was nice, however it was only average and not exceeding. We ordered multiple dishes, the signature dish being the Red Wine Shrimp which I would recommend, while the other dishes were just average and lacking in excitement. Overall I was disappointed in the experience, as I think this place has the capacity to do so much better.

Great little eatery. Went for the first time today. 1. Cute outdoor patio 2. Cozy interior 3. Not super big for large parties 4. Ordered salmon curry and pad Thai. Noodles were so soft Salmon curry had great blend of sweet, spicy and umami. Coconut rice was nice and fluffy. 5. Quick wait times. 6. Friendly staff 7. Wait time for food was only about 10 mins 8. Wait time at door was about 2 mins. 9. Did not check bathrooms. 10. Good overall atmosphere

This lady kept coming 25 times asking if I need anything. Yes, just vanish. Then I was brought a check right after the last spoon. And if I need anything. Let me digest, the place is half empty, such a silly people just ran me out and did not let me order some deserts by creating this tense environment by asking if I need anything , hers the check but no rush . Idiots

This is a charming and cozy restaurant in downtown Edmonton. Easy to park the car on the street. I more enjoyed the ambiance and the beautiful house turning to this restaurant. They offer vegan food as well. Friendly staff! Vegetarian options: Vegan / plant based

One star is the for the food. Gave me wrong information, said that the curry comes with the spring roll and didn t give it to me. And then change it to your meal does not come with the spring roll, there s nothing we can do about it Attitude is bad, horrible customer service.

Owners of restaurant greeted my family as we entered. This is a spectacular underrated restaurant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a different type of meal with a group of friends or family. Or if you would like to impress someone on a first date, this will hopefully show how cultured you are and hopefully you will get lucky.

Ordered a curry that was not inexpensive but came with carrots and peas that looked like they had been poured right out of the freezer bag and were cut nothing like vegetables served with any other dishes uploaded by recent diners. Tasted fine but for the price the peas and carrots should have been fresh. Theyre not expensive vegetables.

The Thai red curry was some of the tastiest Ive had despite the peas and carrots that felt like they were from a frozen packet. Otherwise the curry was a great pairing with the coconut rice.

Amazing food! I was there with my colleagues. Two of them have been to this restaurant before, so they recommended this place to us. I was torn between the Pad-Thai and the daily special, which was a spicy chicken dish with rice and spring rolls. Ultimately, I decided to go with the daily special, and I was not disappointed. We also had salad rolls and a dessert roti. All food were amazing! The staffs were very friendly and efficient. This is a small place, and can be very busy at times. I would recommend to call them to reserve table before you go there. But, if you like Thai food, you have to go there :-D

Delicious food. Four different dishes shared between 4 adults who are not particularly big eaters (except for me) with not a scrap leftover. Slightly larger portions would have created a 5 star review. Will order more next time.

I love this place. Ive only had the takeout version. Smaller portions and a bit expensive but SO GOOD. Every bite is delicious. The vegetables are always so fresh and crisp, the noodles are coated in spicy deliciousness. The coconut rice is to die for--light yet dense with coconutty flavour. My only complaint, tis small, sometimes the meat is a bit dry. But I still always enjoy my food immensely.

We tried viphalay for the first time last night. Oh wow! We had yellow curry and drunken noodles and they were the best we have ever had. The vegetables were all cooked to perfection, the flavour profile was perfectly spicy, sweet and fragrant. The gentleman who helped us was very enthusiastic and kind. We cant wait to come back and try more dishes. Delicious!
