First Time I Ever Had Indian Food–AWESOME!!! I’ve been seeing the ads for Monsoon for a few years, and the pictures made my mouth water! Finally found an adventurous friend who wanted to try this restaurant with me. I am an american-fast-food, meat and potatoes kind of person, and I dislike the taste of curry. Thankfully, we ordered lots of stuff, and I couldn’t taste the curry in anything! And I was delighted with the flavor of the Navratan Korma, which I felt was a 10/10 for delicious, yummy flavor! It was not spicy at all, (a 0 for heat) and I guess Navratan means vegetables, as in no meat in it, and it comes with a side of rice, but man, this stuff is like ChickFilA sauce, as in, LEMME AT IT!! I don’t care how it gets into my mouth, on a carrot stick, a piece of bread, a piece of meat, WHATEVER, just get it in there! Man that was good eating, the seasonings were unlike anything I’ve ever had before, and the BEST!!

Boun’s Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 4-208 Marion St, Winnipeg

The menu here is a bit confusing as this restaurant calls itself an “Asian” restaurant. So which country in Asia? Well, I’d say foremost it’s Laotian but Laos and Thailand share similar cuisine, so there is definitely the flavours and the heat of Thai food here. Then there’s a few Vietnamese dishes and then the random Chinese dishes. Prices are very moderate and fair as most starters are $3-9 and most shareable entrees are $10-$13. I tried 3 curry dishes and they were all delicious! Definitely come here and order a bunch of dishes and share family style as they will bring you a big bowl of rice. You can order dishes here ranging from a heat quotient from 1-10. I have a high tolerance to spicy foods and eat spicy foods often so a “7” is perfect for a good hit of heat as I could still taste the food and not down water like crazy. I would order an 8 or 9 next time to see what that’s like but I think 3 would be good for most palates if you don’t eat spicy food that often and don’t bother adding any heat if you can’t eat spicy at all. The “panang curry” ($10.95) with chicken has coconut milk curry with green peas and lime leaf had a great creamy texture but not a lot of complexity in the curry. Although I really enjoyed this dish, I preferred the other two curries more. The “basa curry” ($11.95) was recommended by the server and with good reason – it was so yummy! You can select red, green or yellow curry and I opted for yellow curry with a fillet of basa (a white fish) with vegetables. Amazing sauce – definitely try this one! The matsaman “potato curry” ($10.95) can be made with chicken, beef, pork or shrimp and is cooked in coconut milk curry with potatoes, nuts and basil. The beef in this dish was tender and flavourful – I really liked the crunch of the peanuts in this dish too. The restaurant is located near Lovey’s in the strip mall on Marion Street – there’s very limited parking here so you might have to park on the street but there’s plenty of free 1-2 hour parking on the street. The interior space here is bright, modestly decorated and clean. Food was prepared fairly fast and the service was very friendly and warm. A lovely place for lunch or dinner (plus some to take home if you order a few dishes to share).

Mayflower Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 414 S Military Ave, Green Bay

We ordered a quart of chicken and vegetables and a pint of beef with curry sauce and an extra order of rice. The chicken and vegetables had a red sauce that wasnâ??t too bad but was different than what we thought. The quart container was all chicken and vegetables, the rice was in a separate container.. . However, the pint of curry beef had the rice filling most of the pint container so there was not much beef or vegetables. It did have curry that was difficult to taste but most of the flavor or heat came from red pepper flakes. Way too many pepper flakes!. .

Siam Thai Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 915 Hillcrest Rd Suite C, Mobile

Food was alright, however, I asked my server which of their curries was the hottest (red curry, could’ve fooled me) and requested “five star” spice level on said item which is supposed to be as spicy as they offer. I received the mildest curry I have ever eaten in my life; my grandmother would probably have loved it but I went to a Thai restaurant specifically for something very spicy. It did not taste right to have such a pathetically mild curry. I informed my waitress and she provided me with a particularly mild crock of red pepper flakes to add my meal which I very clearly desired to be very hot before hand. I got somewhat close to the desired level of heat I ordered but the texture of my curry was ruined by the 6 spoonfulls of red pepper flakes I had to add. Regardless of the friendly service and atmosphere, I highly doubt I’ll return. If you are someone who like spicy Thai food, look elsewhere; I was sorely disappointed.

Hong Thai Express – Menu with Prices – 4155 Rickey St SE #134, Salem

I’ve been looking for a decent massaman curry in Oregon for years. This place makes a great one, by far the best in Salem. The second I had the food placed in front of me I knew it would be a winner, just based on the rich orange/brown color and aroma. I had mine with tofu (I don’t bother ordering meat until a restaurant has shown they can cook) and the tofu was excellent as well – so good I’ll probably order it with tofu again. I went medium heat awas perfectly spicy for a medium. I will try the Panang curry next but I’m probably going to order the massaman curry 3-4 more times just to make sure they know there is demand for it. Honestly, I’m almost in shock to see excellent Thai curry in Salem after trying so many mediocre places. Now we just need an Indian restaurant that is this good. Update: I’ve been back three or four times. Extremely tasty every time. We’ve ordered the Pad See Ew, the Orange Chicken, and the Chow Mein. All of these dishes were excellent. My kids in particular loved the orange chicken and the Chow Mein. My one nit pick is the heat level on the Massaman curry is a little inconsistent. I’ve gotten medium every time but it has been less than medium to quite spicy. I have a wide tolerance for heat so it’s fine but it’s something they could work on. Update 2: orange chicken wasn’t good the second time we ordered it. Everything else was still yum Update 3: A few months have gone by and I’m sitting here eating my massaman curry with tofu (plus asparagus added) and maybe I’m just in the mood for it but I can honestly say this is the best meal I’ve had in years. The flavor and texture of everything in this dish is spot on. I would give the dish I’m eating right now six stars if I could.

Magic Thailand Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 842 Logan Ave, Winnipeg

Yum, yum, yum! Don’t let the location and the exterior fool you – the inside is packed with diners and the food is great! I’ve been looking for another Thai place to go to since Vanxai’s on St. Mary’s has been disappointing me in the last few visits. I haven’t been back to Magic Thailand in years because the location isn’t the most convenient. It is located in an industrial area and the exterior is not much to be desired but inside, the restaurant has been recently renovated. Nothing amazing, but it’s warm, bright and inviting with lots of tables inside to seat couples to large groups. As with most Thai places you can order your food from a heat scale from 1-10. I have a high heat tolerance for spicy foods so here a 5 is true mid-range for someone who eats spicy food. I tried everything at a 5 as the other people eating with me didn’t eat that spicy. Personally, I would order about a 7 for a real nice kick. For others who don’t eat spicy, I would suggest a 2 or 3. The Thai Chicken Skewers ($8.50 for 3) and it comes with a spicy peanut sauce. Not my fave appy as it’s just grilled chicken breast that didn’t have much flavour on it’s own so you have to rely on the peanut sauce which was very yum. For this price, I wouldn’t order it again as I’d rather get another entree dish to share instead. I really liked their “pad thai” with shrimp which was $10.50 and it comes with a side of bean sprouts. At a level 5, the spiciness definitely came through so I’d keep this as a 5. Great flavour in the pad thai mix. The green coconut curry stir fry with chicken ($9.50) had lots of vegetables in the creamy coconut sauce. Not the best green curry I’ve had but it was good. At a level 5 spice, it was okay, I’d definitely up it to a 7 or 8 as the heat gets a bit lost in the sauce. The Matsaman – potato, onions, red peppers, basil, peanuts with chicken ($10.50) is a great dish if you like more peanut flavour and heartiness of potatoes. Food service is fast but table side service is okay as you kind of have to flag down people to get more things. Overall, great place for Thai food!

Curry In A Hurry Foods – Menu with Prices – 6541 Stadium Dr, Kalamazoo

Tried and loved the spicy curry fries from the food truck so husband and I decided to head to their brick and mortar restaurant today. And I was blown away. I got the spicy curry, which comes with rice, a delightfully cool yogurt-cucumber sauce and picked carrots. I requested my curry be extra spicy and the owner/chef/mastermind Willy definitely delivered. This is the best Indian chicken curry in town. Hands down. Highly recommend local yelpers to give this place a try. Just go easy on spice level if you can’t handle the heat. The spices are spot on and the pickled carrots and yogurt really complement the chicken. Husband tried the spicy meatball wrap which was also very tasty. Definitive five stars. Be forewarned that this has taken over the unit where Jambo African cuisine used to be – and they haven’t quite renovated the place. Ambience isn’t the best – but the food steals the show.

Tom Yum Thai Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 859 Sherbrook St, Winnipeg

There aren’t a lot of restaurants near HSC hospital but this at the corner of William and Sherbrook is pretty decent for Thai food. Their spice level is serious so if you choose 7 or higher it is spicy! I had 8 once and it was pretty spicy – the kind that’s still good but you’re getting a runny nose and drinking lots of water and I have a decent heat tolerance. I’ll go with 6 and it’s just right. There’s a lunch time buffet but it doesn’t appeal to me so I usually share a few dishes with friends. The green curry, red curry, panang curry and pad thai are all decent. They all average about $10 per dish when you select chicken or beef. Service is fast and efficient.

Royal Nepal Restaurant Menu with Prices 3807 Mt Vernon Ave, Alexandria

I really liked this place. My hubby and I have had it on our list for a while now, and I’m glad we stopped in. The menu is really unique, and not like anything I’ve tried before. We had the yak momo, which was really yummy. We love dumplings, so this was a no brainer. The meat was a mild flavor too. I expected to it to taste gamier than it did…it was dope. We also tried the Tikka Masala….because I am sometimes in need of a basic dish, and we got the wild boar curry because we we’ve never had wild boar curry. It did not disappoint. Everything was really tasty, really unique, and we had great service too. Everyone was really friendly, and gave us great recommendations. It is not a fancy spot, but the prices are a bit higher than I anticipated. It is in an unassuming shopping center, and the interior of the restaurant is cute. I would totally come back here.

LemonShark Poke- Springwood Village – Menu with Prices – 2120 Spring Stuebner Rd Suite #610, Spring

This is a new place in town so me and my husband were pretty excited about it, sadly we were completely let down. First I would like to address that the staff was nice – everything else just sucked. The food had no flavor, and it gets worse. We should’ve walked out when we noticed the first red flag: the raw fish was just sitting out uncovered in the heat, no ice. All the toppings looked unwelcoming. The “spicy” flavors lacked any spice. The sauces we tried including the “spicy mayo” had no flavor. I actually requested sriracha to add some sort of flavor to the food, but even the sriracha flavor was absorbed by the mushy warm raw fish (it felt like a blob of goo in my mouth) so it did no good. Even the rice was undercooked, it was hard and I had to spit out a bunch because it was gross. My husband who normally gives new places the benefit of the doubt couldn’t even say anything good about it. After we left we thought the horrible experience was behind us, but sadly we both had a upset stomach and ended up vomiting. In summary: the overall quality, texture, and flavor of the food was horrible. Note to people who like Poke: the raw fish is left in the heat and is not kept cool! Message to management: (1.) don’t leave the fish in the heat. (2.) revamp your ingredients to add flavor to the bland quality of your food.

Raj Palace Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 15425 Bannister Rd SE, Calgary

I just ordered the malabar chicken curry and the prawn chettinadu. It was soooo good. The chicken curry is just the right amount of savoury, spicy, and sweet. I thought I’d be getting just a few chunks of chicken in a bowl of sauce, but I’m very pleased to say this was not the case. There was plenty of chicken and just enough sauce to mix into my rice, and enjoy a mouthful of chicken with every spoonful. Although, I think I’ll ask to have it more mild next time. But for people that like spicy chicken curry, I would recommend the malabar chicken curry. Not too spicy, and it’s just great overall. Personally, I prefer this one over the prawn dish. The prawn chettinadu was just as good (I asked for this one to be mild). I have never experienced the flavours, but I still find it excellent! It’s an interesting combination of spices, and the flavour overall was very new and exciting. Definitely not what I was expecting. What I expected was a typical curry with just prawns stuck in, but it really surpassed my expectations. It’s not as sweet as the malabar chicken curry, but if you’re up to try prawn curry, this isn’t a bad start. Just be ready to taste something new. …And if it matters I ordered through skip the dishes.

Thai Diamond Bar.B.Q. – Menu with Prices – 9581 Foothill Blvd, Rancho Cucamonga

Ordered some thai food via grub hub from here. Food came in a timely fashion. I ordered the following: 1. Thai bbq pork spare ribs- these were good. Large pieces. Tender. Flavoring though was so so, wish it was bolder or spicier. But it fell more on the bland side. But I do appreciate the tenderness of it. 2. Garlic and pepper beef- thinly sliced beef. On the tender side as well. But flavors were really lacking. Couldn’t taste the garlic at all. A good amount of beef though compared to peppers. 3. Fillet of fish in mint leaves- not spicy at all. Ok size fish pieces. Fish was cooked well. 4. Coconut soup- this soup made my review go from a solid 3 star to a 4 star review. You get some thai places, where there coconut soup is just so spicy, it’ll burn your mouth. Some places are just so spicy it actually detracts from the flavor. Yes this one was about a 4/10 on my spicy level, but it really allowed me to taste all the flavors. The coconut, the lemon grass, the depths of flavors. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth!! I had it with chicken, which was tender and delicious. I can see myself ordering this soup on a cold night or if I’m under the weather. It was truly one of the best thai coconut soup I’ve ever had!!! Overall I didnt actually go in so there’s an aspect of this place I didn’t experience, but I definitely wouldn’t mind coming in to try other traditional thai dishes such as their pad thai, fried rice, and definitely their coconut soup again!!

Ala Thai East – Menu with Prices – 6663 Atlanta Hwy, Montgomery

I ordered the panang curry and it blew my mind. I love panang and order it at every Thai place I go to. I also love Thai and ate it everyday for lunch last summer. This place had some of the best I have had. The only weird thing is it’s served on a bunch of crispy won tons. I was disappointed when I saw it but they ended up being really good. They soaked up the curry well and therefore tasted fantastic. Also they didn’t get immediately soggy so you still got some crunch. Also the curry was mostly all meat. I hate when you pay $10 for curry sauce over potatoes with a piece of meat or two. This was all chicken with the occasional bell pepper mixed in. Finally, the staff was super friendly. They made sure we knew they delivered pretty much anywhere within half an hour and kept inviting us back. I would have gone back even if the curry was mediocre just because of how cool they were. I would knock a star because I paid $11+ for a relatively small portion of curry, but that’s the going rate for Thai food unfortunately. I was a little begrudging initially, but I’ll be forking over a lot more money the next time we go.
