Thai Nongkhai - Calgary

This is a tough review to write. Thai Nongkai WAS one of our favorite restaurants. Given that it’s a bit out of our way, we hadn’t been there for quite sometime. Last night we decided to revisit the restaurant. Our first clue that things have changed is the fact that there were only two other tables occupied. In the old days the place was always busy. We ordered Nongkai wings, Pad Thai, Red Curry Chicken, Drunken Chicken and coconut rice. The food was very disappointing. Chicken was rubbery and chewy. Other dishes were very salty. Our favorite dish used to be the Drunken Chicken, last night it was the worst dish. We didn’t even bother taking home the ample leftovers because the food was so bad. We used to recommend Thai Nongkai to anyone looking for good Thai food. Now I’m embarrassed if anyone went there based on our recommendation. With so many other good Thai restaurants in Calgary, sadly we won’t be back. Bill was $110 including tip.

Best thai in town! Very good authentic taste. Good portion size I highly recommend the Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles.

Food took a lot of time to arrive, but the chef accommodated our Jain dietary preferences. Taste was Ok.

This is HANDS down my favorite restaurant in Calgary. Unfortunately I have to give them 3 stars because their own personal delivery service is unreasonably expensive and the only delivery service they are on is skip the dishes, which is BY FAR the most expensive and unreliable service. As someone who has easily spent over $1000 at this restaurant in the last 5 years its just disappointing.

Great Thai food in Calgary. We heard a few items were tasty but everything we tried we all really liked. Some, of course, more so than others.I enjoyed the basil fried rice and the green curry most especially.Our waiter, John, was extremely friendly and gave great recommendations to try when we were on the fence.I might not be back because I was only visiting Calgary, but all my local friends and family will certainly be back for more!
