Reviews


Discovering a Thai restaurant through GPS led to mixed experiences for diners. Some felt let down by the limited drink options and confusing menu choices, with slow service leaving them dissatisfied. However, others were pleasantly surprised by the revamped decor and friendly service, only to be disappointed by the unusual taste of the food and subsequent food poisoning. A loyal customer felt that the change in ownership resulted in bland and unauthentic dishes, unlike the authentic Thai cuisine they had previously enjoyed. Despite these negative experiences, there were shining reviews for Ban Thai, praising the delicious and authentic food, exceptional service, and pleasant dining atmosphere. Diners raved about various dishes, from the pa nang chicken to the mango salad, and appreciated the effort made to adhere to COVID-19 health protocols. Overall, while some diners felt let down by recent changes, Ban Thai continues to stand out as a gem in the world of Thai cuisine in Edmonton, generally, Ban Thai Restaurant receives a rating of 3.5 on average.
