Talay Thai - Halifax

I ate here twice while in Halifax. I had Pad Thai one night and Spicy Noodles the next. The Pad Thai was a lot sweeter than any I have ever had before and would have benefited from a squeeze of lime but it was hot, tasty and the portion size was very generous. Service was quick and friendly. When I arrived the second night and the server asked how I was, I mentioned I was cold and she offered hot water to drink instead of iced. I would not have thought to ask for that and it was greatly appreciated!

Overall food and experience was good…Highlight was soup delicious and masaman curry and Thai fried rice tasted good as well…. Spring Roll is MINUS so oily and had a weird smell of oil Looks like they reused oil so many times and fried spring rolls in the same oil

If you like Thai food, get the Cashew chicken and the green curry chicken. The cashew chicken with snow peas needs more cashews and snow peas and veg like thin carrot flowers but the sauce is amazing! Pineapple pork was a pass… too sweet for me and sauce tasted like ketchup for lack of a better description. Chicken satay was just meh… no flavour and would be better as a yellow curry marinaded skewer. Did not get a cucumber sauce with it as it says on the menu and the peanut sauce was not very peanutty and was watery, it should be thicker and richer tasting.

I visited there on Sunday lunchtime, parking wasn't that bad. The environment and setting in Talay Thai was very nice, not so crowded. The service was good. We ordered from the lunch menu, Pad Thai noodles, red curry, fresh rolls. We enjoyed the food, but the portion seems a bit small. On our way out we saw the pineapple fried rice from the other table, which looks very good. For sure we will go back to try more different dishes next time.

My favourite Thai dish in the city Pat Chaa Kai Great lunch specials, too.
