    This place expands my knowledge base of Thai dishes. Brian broke out from his parents' famous…read moreVancouver restaurant to branch out with his own tastes of Thai cuisine, making his theme "Thai street food". Don't look for chicken satays here - he's sick and tired of a lifetime of grilling these for customers. Yeah, for him, it's the pork. And ho boy, does he grill it well. Some dishes are 3 styles of pork, and I keep getting his pork jowls: the most buttery, soft pillowy grilled pork I've had in ages. But back to the street food part - it's more the vibe of the place: down-to-earth, 90's pop culture posters and Thai toys, a VHS player showing non-stop clamshell family movies (the other screen shows 90's and noughts' comedies and action movies pointed at the bar end of the kitchen). Sure, Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, along with your Green, Yellow and Massamun curries abound on the menu, and they're all big portions bursting with flavour, but here's what I go for: The specials. Oh, they've showcased lemongrass fried rice, lard na, clam pancakes, ohhhh... most of the time (and we go almost once a week) these are all I order and I skip the regular menu. And the cocktails! Jerry has a lineup of such unique drinks that I just cycle through the menu, trying a different one each visit. She keeps tweaking the recipes until she's got each a perfect concoction before we even see it on the menu - I keep asking her what she's working on each time I'm there and she fills me in on her latest liquid experiment. Service is great - Nancy and team are all so friendly, they know when to leave you to enjoy and when to stop by and chat. It's a cozy, social place where the wok's always fired up and just makes me smile to be there every time I go with friends or family.

    This place has been in Ladner for a while, been in my list to try, and I finally had it! I wish…read morethey had a proper website. I got their Mussamun Curry (Potatoes, seasonal vegetables, onions, fried shallots, peanuts and Jasmine rice) with tofu. Huge portions, this can serve 2 portions! Tons of vegetables that are fresh and not just carrots. They have enoki mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, and what I think is eggplant. I didn't get potatoes or fried shallots, but they could be in the other half. I got it to go and they were all very friendly. This meal was $22 and really well balanced. I can't wait to try more of their dishes!

    A Thai restaurant in Tsawwassen. How legit could it be? I decided to give it a try as I just wanted…read moreAsian spicy food, and I did not want to drive all the way to Vancouver for it as I was already in this area. I got there and it was fairly quiet with just two tables occupied. I was taken aback by the staff though. They were not Asian or Thai. I started to wonder if this was a watered-down version of Thai food to suit the local non-spicy palate? The staff was speaking French to a table of customers. Uh-oh. It took a long while before anyone (there were 2 of them front of house) came over to me. During that time, I was contemplating if I should just walk out. So service was indeed spotty. One staff was more helpful than the other. I wanted the pad krapow gai (basil minced chicken), unfortunately they did not have that. So I had the basil chicken which was in slices instead of minced. There is a difference in the dish even though both are basil chicken. I requested for the spice level to be like in Thailand (hot). The food arrived and it was spicy, but not overly spicy like in Thailand. It was ok. You had to order the rice separately and at $2.75 a bowl, it was quite expensive. It was just rice! Even though the restaurant did not have many dine in customers, there were plenty of people calling in to place orders for take out. So I guessed maybe this was the only decent Thai place for the people living in this area? The food was not bad, but it is just not the best Thai food around.

    I love supporting local family restaurants, but I can't get behind somewhere that has no time…read moremanagement whatsoever. We ordered at 7:05 on the road and told our food would be ready for 8 (which is nearly an hour!). We only ordered 3 entrees and 1 order of spring rolls. We got there at 7:55, waited a few minutes, and went in only to be told it would be another few minutes. No worries! Only when we went back in 10 minutes later, our order still wasn't ready. We ended up leaving the restaurant with our food at 8:35, a full hour and a half after we placed our order! The friends I was with loved their food, but I personally didn't find it worth the wait. I'd much rather go to Thai basil and get my food in 10 minutes, especially since I know the food is ALWAYS bomb there. I also think the prices are pretty steep for entrées that don't even come with a base. My and my friend each had to order a side of rice, and there's no combo pricing. Overall, a tsawwassen staple that just doesn't do it for me.

    Sadly, the experience I had was far from 'impressive'. Overpriced and not filling whatsoever. They…read morehad a bunch of visual tricks and garnishings, but the meal itself was nothing special and the wine pairing did not suit the meal at all. I have had many better Thai experiences throughout the lower mainland at a fraction of the price and with better service. I even asked a question of our waiter and he nervously responded, "I'm sorry, but we are not allowed to converse with the guests." Both myself and my friend who invited me thought this was very odd and it put a dark mood on the evening as we felt like we were being watched by the owners. It was creepy. A couple of other friends of mine also had similar experiences remarking that that staff are always walking on eggshells to the point where it dampened their experience. The experience was an unfortunate waste. Afterwards, we went to a different seafood restaurant in Steveston to get a full meal and we were satisfied by that experience, thank goodness. I have since steered many interested parties away from this restaurant and will continue to do so. **Plus, I don't know why it's stated here on Yelp that they have a Michelin Star, because according to the Michelin Guide, they do not. If Michelin has awarded them one, then Michelin stars mean nothing.

    Ambiance: Stunning and elegant. From the moment you walk in, everything feels intentional and…read morerefined. Food: Elevated Thai cuisine with beautifully crafted presentation. Portions are small, but clearly designed for a fine-dining experience rather than a filling meal. Standouts: The Pad Thai was impressive and well-balanced, especially for someone very familiar with Thai food. But the highlight for me was the Organic Coconut Galangal Soup with Crispy Wild Sockeye Salmon -- deeply flavorful, comforting, and the dish that truly stayed with me. Service: Attentive and thoughtful. I was here for my birthday and received a greeting letter and card, which made the experience feel extra special. Value: Pricey, yes -- but when you factor in the food, service, and overall experience, it's worth it for a special occasion. Highly recommended for celebrations or a meaningful night out.

    Horrible. Ordered…read morevia Uber Eats. It was quick but sometimes that's a red flag in itself. We are at a hotel. They didn't send any cutlery or napkins which is just common sense. Next there was no soya sauce. And worst of all - NO RICE ! My husband had to go to a restaurant close by to get a side of rice and some soya sauce. After paying over 70$ this is unacceptable. All this aside, we were hoping the food would be good. Our order was Beef Thai Salad, Ginger Beef, Green Curry with Chicken & Satay Chicken Skewers. They also had a promo for 4 Free Spring Rolls with a 40$ purchase, they turned out to be the only thing edible. I had asked for no onions (huge allergies) and not too spicy. The beef salad had no onions, but also zero flavour on the beef. The lettuce had some lime but not any flavour. It was a few cucumbers and lots of bland unseasoned beef. Is super hot chili flakes the only option here ? It looked like the beef should of been really good, but it was like they had washed the beef off completely of anything. The chicken skewers were big but they seemed to be really fatty with gristle - the meat wasn't certainly chicken breast. Even the peanut sauce seemed off. I ate a few bites and spit it out. The ginger beef was a large order. They sent the sauce on the side. Again the meat was super low quality. Lots of gristle etc. Couldn't eat it. My husband didnt mind his green curry, but was less than thrilled about it not coming with any rice !! It too was of poor meat quality. It all smelled quite bad . All in all was so very disappointed . Would never order from here nor recommend. Huge waste of money.

    Highly recommend this Thai restaurant. Huge portions and had we known would have shared just one…read more Super flavor too. Very good price on our meals compared to the hotel.
