Thai food in Halifax

What is your fave Thai place in Halifax, any suggestions? Craving a good Pad Thai :)

    I'm not a huge fan of Pad Thai, but I find ChaBaa Thai to be the best all around Thai place. I especially like the green curry and Panang Beef.

      Thanks so much for your help! I booked Chabaa. Seemed like the best choice based on reviews!

        Chabaa is excellent, but I think Gingergrass is my favorite Thai restaurant. Their Pad Thai is great! I'm really not a fan of Taly Thai. For some reason it is always listed on the Coast Best of Food, but I've never had a good meal there.

          That's too bad. Talay Thai has always been my fav. I've never been to Gingergrass. I think I wouldn't know whether to eat Vietnamese or Thai... I don't like the idea of combining the two lol

            Seems the cooks at Baan Thai left & went to Talay Thai and then moved on to their own restaurant Cha Baa. That would explain the decline of the former two, especially Talay which suddenly went from very good to not so good.

            Gingergrass does some dishes very well but always thought of them as Vietnamese. They do Thai?

              They do! One of the best Pad Thai's I've had and their curries are delicious. They do both thai and vietnam but I think the menu is more thai.

      Fid makes an excellent Pad Thai during lunch service.

        Decent Pad Thai - but by no means lavish or decadent - at Chabaa and Talay Thai. Haven't been to the latter in quite a while.
