| Chili Club Thai Restaurant |  | Thai | Informal | This is the elegant side of Thai dining with subdued lighting and friendly, informed staff. The non-smoking atmosphere added to the pleasure for us. But the restaurant is quite small, so reservations are a good idea. Good vegetarian selection. | #125 555 - 11 Ave. SW 237-8828 | Su 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. M 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Tu to Th 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.; 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. F 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.; 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. Sa 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. | |||||
| The King and I Thai Cuisine |  | Thai | Informal | The setting is strikingly modern, in a Thai-ish sort of way, but the food meets the highest standards of traditional Thai cuisine with a few fusion twists like banana-filled spring rolls with coconut ice cream. Yes, the prices are higher than at some other places, but the servings are proportionately larger and the quality is excellent. Reservations recommended. Good vegetarian selection. If you are celebrating or just unsure of what to order and have a group of four or more, let us suggest the King's Feast for a broad selection of well-matched dishes. | 820 - 11 Ave. SW 264-7241 www | Su 4:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. M - Th 11:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. F 11:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. Sa 4:30 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. Su 4:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. | |||||
| Rose Garden Restaurant |  | Thai | Informal | The rating must be viewed in the light that the food here was excellent served in the finest Thai style. The problem was the unapologetically slow service. Yes, we will return, and maybe the rating will rise as well. They do have a lunch buffet. | 112 - 8 Ave. SW 264-1988 | ||||||
| Ruan Thai Restaurant |  | Thai | Buffet |
The lunch buffet doesn't reflect the best of the regular menu, and the usually quite extensive vegetarian selection is sadly missing. | 1324 11 Ave. SW 262-7066 | M to F 11:30 a.m. Holidays Closed | |||||
| Ruan Thai Restaurant | | Thai | Informal | With a large menu of excellent dishes, the Ruan Thai has been one of our traditional choices for Thai food in the west end of the Beltline. Dorothy particularly appreciated the menu which showed which dished were ordered most often by customers. However, although the food is still well-prepared, the rating has dropped recently as the service has become slow and far less friendly.Good vegetarian selection. | 1324 11 Ave. SW 262-7066 | M to F 11:30 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sa, Su Summer 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Winter 4:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Su, Holidays Closed | |||||
| Spicy Hut | | Thai | Lunch Special | A good variety of southeast Asian dishes, with good lunch specials. (See the separate review of their regular menu.) | 203b 4 St. NE 237-0830 | Su 4:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. M to Th 11 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. F, Sa 11 a.m. - midnight | |||||

| Thai Boat Restaurant | | Thai | Informal | Good food is presented in a stylishly modern Thai setting with a boat theme throughout. The one shock was the almost total lack of vegetarian selections, usually a standard in any Thai establishment. Reservations recommended. | #108 2323 - 32 Ave. NE 291-9887 | Lunch M to F Lunch Buffet W Dinner Daily | |||||
| Thai Sai-On | | Thai | Informal | This one of Calgary's oldest Thai restaurants, established even before Thai food became trendy. Its continuing popularity is well-deserved with good-sized, well-spiced portions; however, the service has slowed down a bit the last couple of times we have dropped in. Remember too that with Thai food you can use a fork and throw away those chop sticks. Good vegetarian selection. | 351 - 10 Ave. SW 264-3526 | Su Closed M to F Lunch 11:30 a.m.; Dinner 5:00 p.m. Sa Dinner 5:00 p.m. |
