Meeting up with some friends for lunch and they suggested Chada Thai. It is located in a strip mall across from the Coquitlam Center and there is plenty of free parking. Great that they have a lunch special and (not surprisingly) I opted for the chicken and cashew nut minus onions. The presentation was nice with the rice, salad and something called a crispy wrap. The taste was okay...I did find the stir sauce to be too sweet. There was no issue with service and it was a positive food experience. read more

I love coming here for lunch with my mom because it is in the neighbourhood and something that I am always craving! They have a great lunch special where you also get coleslaw and little fried wonton with your main dish. If you are looking for a bigger portion, you can also get the regular size and get the rest to take home. The staff are so kind and the seating is intimate. I always get their Thai iced tea so make sure you get that a good mix before enjoying! read more

Conveniently located close to Coquitlam Mall, I came here for dinner out of curiosity and it didn't disappoint. Portions were generous and very satisfying. I ordered the pad thai, chada fried rice, mango sticky rice (just in time while mango was still in season), and coconut ice cream. Everything was delicious, but the standout for me was the chili flakes--made in-house using hand-picked, authentic Thai chilies. The coconut ice cream was also amazing and freshly made. The atmosphere was quiet and casual, making it easy to talk and enjoy the meal. Service was fast and the staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Food is great. Service is just ok. I hate that when we say we want Medium spice, it comes out mild. We were all very disappointed there was zero spice to our food. He probably judged us because we're white. read more

The server was rude and gave a lot of attitude when we asked for extra napkins. (we each only had 1) The summer rolls were filled with sooo much lettuce, and were extremely messy. The peanut sauce was good though. Wouldn't order this appy again. The green curry was fantastic. The Tom Kha made everyone rush to the washroom. read more

Chada Thai Fine Cuisine - Tasted just like shredded lettuce. Do not recommend - Thai Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

I was craving Thai and this spot was great! My fave dish was the red curry (chicken) - I loved the flavor! And it was mild and enjoyable for me. The spice level is determined by you! Also ordered the pad Thai and it was great. We got it with tofu and tofu was crispy. Last dish we ordered was garlic pepper sauce tofu. You get to choose what you want for protein, but I just wanted tofu. The dish was okay, sauce was good but I think better to get shrimp or another protein. Service was fast and they checked up on us a few times. Food was on the table within 15 minutes. The space has Asian/Thai decor and I think it's a great spot for big groups too. Overall, enjoyed the curry and pad Thai. Can't wait to come back for them! read more

Stopped by Chada Thai over the weekend. It was my first time there. Generally I love Thai food and this place did good. The food was spot on and very delicious! The service was wonderful. Can't really complain. I found the portion to be pretty decent. We had a bunch of left over to take home which was great. It isn't a super big place and I don't think they take reservations so id say the sooner you get there, the better! read more

Amazing food. Friendly service. Decent portions. We were in the neighbourhood for a soccer game and decided to stay around after the game. It's Mother's Day. And one of my wife's favourite dish is Pad Thai. There's not a lot of options for Thai food in the area then I found this little gem. Good thing we came soon after they opened. This place is small and a lot of the tables were marked reserved and they only had one table for 4 that's not. They're also pretty busy for takeouts. The Pad Thai and Pa-Nang Curry were really good. The spice level we picked for both dishes is medium. Flavourful, tasty, satisfying. Had a good kick. We highly recommend these dishes. The Pad See Iew is quite tasty as well. A good level of soy sauce flavour, not too strong. We have not found a Pad See Iew that our kids liked until tonight. Our kids really liked this dish. We will definitely come back to Chada Thai if we're ever around the area. read more

Chada Thai is my favourite Thai place in Coquitlam to go to eat .The staff is very friendly and helpful in this cozy place. This authentic Thai restaurant has many food options which will not disappoint you.I would recommend the lunch menu which is a great value and delicious.

Delicious food and really nice service. This was a random find and we will definitely go back.

I've been here 5 times and loved it every single time.. Good authentic THAI favours! Great Service!! Lunch has great specials. Dinner is a little more pricey compared to other Thai restaurants I've been to, but you can taste the difference (= The location is small so I recommend making reservations any day of the week. MUST TRY: Pad Thai, any of the curry TOM YUM SOUP read more

I've had food court, mediocre and authentic thai food. This is better than food court, but not as good as authentic thai food! Although this place is given 4 stars on yelp and has won an award in 2014, i give this place 3 stars. Menu is not as extensive but has your staple foods such as pad thai, skewers and curry. However, its a bit overrated and in comparison to Vancouver thai food, (especially when its rates the best in Poco), it deserves a 4. All your curry/main dishes come with rice, an is entree style. Convenient but i wanted family style servings. Ie: order a bucket of rice and get a full size curry dish. Therefore, portions are small for the price they charge. Ie, curry chicken $18 Service was good, the main man tried really hard but ended up dipping his finger in my sauce to taste it? Nice guy, i wont hold it against him but was a bit weird. Overall, i'll keep looking for a better thai reataurant in poco. This is not my "go to" thai restaurant in poco read more

Came here after doing the Coquitlam Crunch and walk around Glen Park, I decided to go have a quick lunch. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be so was able to get a seat pretty quickly. The food was okay, I've had better thai food. Had the beef curry. It lacked some flavor and the beef was a little tougher than expected. Not sure if it was a new batch and it hasn't simmered enough to blend in the flavor more. Maybe next time, I'll try a different dish. The service is a little slow and not as friendly. It took a little while to get my food and my water wasn't topped up as quickly, I had to ask a couple of times to top up the water. It could be that I had another drink but I like to have water too so it would be nice to have the glass of water topped up every so often. The people next to me, they didn't get a menu when they sat down so had to ask for it. *** read more

it's so good and according to Thai food, good taste, confirmed by Thai people. Khao Soi Is so good I love it I want to go back for more

I'm not usually excited when my car needs some fixing up--but when I can try out a restaurant I've been meaning to get to for over a year--little car, you can keep on squeaking! Showed up solo during the business lunch rush (read: full house!) and was served cucumber infused water (nice touch!) and a clear broth with spinach right away. Great service! The lunch menu is simple - one page - all $10 and all served with the soup, rice and crispy wraps (delish!) My chicken basil was fabulous. I devoured the entire bamboo-basily thing! They don't offer take-out at dinnertime, but it's fair game at lunch. It's a surprisingly good find in a plaza overrun with chains (2 Starbucks, a KFC, Mr Mikes, Bread Garden) and I wish it existed back when I lived in this 'hood. read more

Food was fine. It's in a strip mall but trying to be upscale. Service was okay. We were mostly bothered by the floor manager who seemed stressed and kept checking in with us on whether 2 people in our party were coming. They arrived within 5 minutes of our being seated but we were asked three times about their whereabouts and the restaurant was only half occupied. They have a good set lunch menu but no appetizers which we thought was strange. Also the soup that comes with the lunch set tastes like sweetened bland warm water and and was brought out after we had finished our meals. As mentioned earlier, the main food was fine but some things need to be sorted with the floor staff. read more

The atmosphere, service and food presentation was great! Although the foods was ok. They used high quality products such as big size prawns and scallops. But the foods flavour was ok I find. Pad Tai was a bit to salty. The prize was a bit higher then most Thai place I think. read more

Definitely not the best in the tricities. Ordered a large take out order and it was all well packed and labelled which was appreciated. The pad Thai was just not up to par for me. Too dry and too much fish sauce. Said it has a tamarind base but I could not taste any. Prawns were good. Container though was 1/3 shredded cabbage so although it looked like a large portion it was not. The pad Thai also did not seem to excite those in the group who had never had pad thaI before so that was a fail. Curries were fine as was the rice. We ordered coconut rice and got regular. Cashew chicken had just way too much green pepper and few other veg. all in all it's basically mall food court level so if you are hungry and have to go there it will be fine. If you have a choice try Ma Now or Tip Thai read more

Friendly staff and fast service. I am vegetarian, I do not eat fish, eat or meat. The staff were accommodating and very informative about their menu items, highlighting everything they were able to make vegan for me. Ordered the tofu pad Thai and had it made spicy! Loved the side of coleslaw salad. The Thai iced tea is AMAZING, although next time I would ask they can make it half sweet as it was quite sweet. Great experience overall, I will definitely be back! read more

It's really a 3.5. I rounded up to 4 as it's better than most Thai places in coquitlam/port moody area. Chicken satay was good. Curries were over pretty tasty and comes with rice. Enjoyed the green Thai curry the most. The beef massassu Ok, so we ordered again recently and now I'm going to have to scale it back to 3. The prawn pad Thai was bad bad bad. Super fishy, couldn't eat it. It had a bad small, the moment we opened the container. We still tried it but couldn't get pass the smell. The curry and the chicken satay were still good. But waste of $15 on the pad Thai that ended up in the garbage. read more

Chada Thai Fine Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

The best Thai food I've ever had. This place will seem a little strange at first because of its location. Across from a Taco Bell? Huh? But let me assure you... It is amazing, authentic Thai food. Creamy and Rich sauce unlike most Thai restaurants I've been to where the sauce is watery. Their summer rolls are incredible as well! The pad thai is good which is what my wife orders and she loves it but I usually get the green curry or the red. Both have so much flavor it's incredible! Although the restaurant has changed over several owners, they seem to consistently keep the food and atmosphere fantastic! Customer service is also very good. I've been to at least 10 Thai restaurants and this one tops them all. read more

The most authentic Thai food in the TriCities maybe even the Lower Mainland. So delicious! We now come here once a week just to satisfy our Tom Kha Kai which we are seriously addicted. Their Panang Chicken is also amazing. The peppers and onions in the sauce are roasted and caramelized and the Panang sauce is creamy and full of of flavour without being heavy. Prices are very, very reasonable for the quality of food. This is a small, family run restaurant with friendly service. The restaurant was taken over by new owners and chefs in April 2016 and it is hands down our favor restaurant! read more

Chada Thai Fine Cuisine - Most authentic Thai! - Thai Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Amazing food and staff. Lots of parking space but the sittings are very limited so I do suggest going early. Beautiful settings and interior with great atmosphere. Good for small groups, alone, or a date. Not so great with little children. One of my absolute favourite Thai restaurant so I really do recommend for anyone who have not had a chance to go because I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Arrived as a walk in. We had to wait 10 minutes before we got a seat. After we were seated and given water, we did not even get a menu. A menu is a basic part of any dining experience - It should be a given. After 5 minutes waiting at the table with no menu we walked out. Terrible attention in service. Side note for another party that arrived right after we did: They asked the server/host that they called in earlier for a table for 5, but apparently when they arrived, the restaurant had told them they only heard 4 and will not be able to make room for 5. That other party promptly also left. read more

I am insanely picky about Thai food. I've traveled around Thailand and even taken traditional cooking lessons there! That being said, I really love the food at Chada Thai. I used to find any excuse to share the restaurant with friends- it's the kind of food that begs you to have more dinner-as your desert! yum yum yum..... The happy story took a turn, however, after a visit with my fiance. The service was great, and he absolutely loved the food as much as I did. We each wished we could stay there, enjoying the flavors all night although as soon as we got to the car, he started to itch and broke out in hives over the blood vessels on the inside of his wrists. We both know this is how he reacts to exposure to MSG because his parents cook with it sometimes and will admit to it after he has a reaction. :( We were both very disappointed because we want so badly to keep eating there but don't want to have to ask about MSG or wonder if he's going to leave with hives again. Even writing about it makes me feel sad...I'm so in love with the food! :( read more

The green curry was excellent! I probably won't order the stuffed chicken wings again. Same with the fish cakes. They were good but I prefer the bold flavours of Thai food and these starters are more subtle. The restaurant was clean. We went on a week day for dinner and didn't have to wait for a seat. We'll be back. read more

My Pad Kee-Mow was fantastic but my biggest problem with this place is that they charge the same price for tofu as they do prawn. That is crazy!! Everywhere else, tofu and veggie dishes are always cheaper. A lot of people choose veg options for ethical, environmental and health reasons. Charging them extra is like punishing them for that choice when it's the most sustainable choice of all. When you give it the same price as prawn (the worst of all meats), you are sending the wrong message. Until they change this pricing policy, I can't go back or even recommend this to anyone. read more

Great thai food, In fact I would rate this as one of the best thai restaurants in the lower mainland. The dishes are well thought out, tasty and the ingredients are always fresh. The service is good and they pay attention to the little details (cucumber water for example). The restaurant itself is small and cozy so it can be busy at times but it's a nice atmosphere. Why 4 stars instead of 5? It's a tad on the pricey side but don't that deter you, just know that going in. On a sad note, the genius behind this place, Brian Marchesi, passed away last year. I only can hope that his vision remains in tact and they are able to honour his legacy by continuing to serve fresh quality products. read more

Oh so good! The best, best Thai restaurant in the metro Vancouver area. I fell in love with this place the first time I tried it and have not ventured to another Thai restaurant since. This one has won my heart. When I crave Thai, I'm off to Chada Thai. Note that this restaurant does get busy on the weekends as it is small and highly recommend making a reservation. During the week you will have no problems with getting a table as it is much slower. read more

I've been here numerous times before and was so happy . The food was great best pad Thai around. This time around I was so disappointed . It was actually almost not edible. To much fish sauce , that's all I could taste. Plus the service wasn't great. Didn't even clear our table before serving our dinner. Is the restaurant under new owners. To bad use to be good . Will not return . read more

Took my parents out to Chada Thai in Pinetree Village in Coquitlam. We went because of its reputation and good reviews. They have proven us right. The food was a decent portion unlike many other Thai restaurants in the area and it was very tasty and spicy as expected. We felt we got the value. We ordered 3 dishes for 3 people and had too much left over. The decor is nice and upscale-ish. It is cozy and small. The servers were very attentive. The cost was reasonable. I would go back again and take others. read more

We hadn't been there for a couple of years and were expecting a repeat of the great food and service. For my drink I ordered Perrier on ice, which turned out to be the best tasting thing on the menu! There were eight of us, including two kids and the consensus was unanimous - the food SUCKED...big time. Turns out the prices on the menu includes tip, so that customers can't take it out on the server. I would have hated to do that anyway but we all agreed - never again ! read more

Great Thai place to go to in Coquitlam! Quality and taste is top notch. I usually just come here for the lunch specials, cause it's affordable. Been here for dinner as well, but is hella expensive. My go to dish would probably be the Pad Thai, and I prefer it more on the spicy side. Definitely check this place out for lunch, it's a hidden gem. read more

Thai food in Vancouver pretty much matches the infamous temperamental weather. I have yet to find a consistently good quality Thai place in the GVRD. This place was packed when we arrived and I believe the culprit may have been the G-word. Dear Groupon. I think the 1500 sold may be stressing this place out a bit. The staff sure showed it. Service was a little spotty as she forgot to enter an order and was not very attentive. Turns out the Summer Rolls aren't fried but are just salad rolls which I never like. Flavour only came from the satay sauce. Pad Thai was OK. Chicken with black pepper sauce and veggies was OK as well. Prices are the highest I've seen for Thai food, so value isn't great. However, the three of us were pretty full sharing the three dishes. Not that I didn't top up with chicken nuggets after dinner at The One. Would I drive 1hr to get here again. Me say no. read more

Who knew Coquitlam would have such a GEM!!! I came here for dinner one night with the Mr a couple months ago and I couldn't believe at how great this little place is! I was super impressed by the service and food...hard to have both nowadays don't you think?! LOL Anyways, I don't know if we were lucky..but we managed to get the last 2 seater in the resto on a Friday night. From the outside I knew it looked small..but until you walk in there...small is turned into SUPER small. I think the resto can only seat about..20~ people so if you're planning on coming here with a group..MAKE RESERVATIONS! HOwever, I liked the coziness and the decor made me feel...really calm if that makes any sense. Maybe it was the yellow walls..or the perfect amount of lighting..I don't know. For food: we ordered a green chicken curry, fish cakes, and pad thai. I noticed someone mentioned about the price being a little steep---that I can agree to, very comparable to restos I frequently eat at in YT. I don't mind paying a bit more if the quality/taste is there + the portions are VERY generous. Worth it. I've been to Thailand before, as well as dined at authentic thai places over the world so I feel I have a good background on what thai food should taste like..and this was spot on!! The green chicken curry (my must have at any thai resto) was delish and had the right amount of spice. Pad thai, now some places I find can make it OVERLY sweet...but Chada Thai has a nice balance between sweet/salty. The 2 tastes never overbear one another which is great. Fishcakes were good...but I think this was the only thing I was a little meh on. Didn't super excite me but they weren't terrible either. Service. Grade A. Waiters/Hosts were constantly checking up on us to refill waters and get whatever we needed. And by constantly, I don't mean every second but enough to never have us be the first to request something and they aren't overly pushy. The manager is always walking around to make sure the resto is running smoothly and will ask for feedback at the end of each meal. I really enjoyed Chada Thai and would recommend it as a must try. read more
