Continuing our BC Interior tour, from our previous research, we found out that the Chef at Family Thai has many many years of culinary experience and also worked in many very popular Thai Restaurants in Vancouver before moving to Cranbrook and opening his very own. Run by the Chef and his family, the restaurant is situated on the busy Cranbrook Street, parking spots are plentiful during our dinner ( 7ish on a Tuesday night ), but I am guessing that it will get busy during weekends! Since we saw the dishes around us are all fairly well sized, we decided to order only 2 dishes: Pad Kee-Mao with Prawns ( Drunken Noodes ): I really like Chef's version here, the noodles are stir-fried with a lot of wok-hei ( the charred flavour you can only get from having high heat & skillful wok techniques ) going on which makes the noodles extra al dente and at the same time soaked up all the seasonings & spices. Drunken Noodles are supposed to be spicy to be authentic, so I am glad to taste all the extra garlic, fresh chilli, Thai Basil in the dish! Warning: If you cannot handle Thai Spiciness make sure you mention it to the server!! Pad Prik King (Thai Red Curry stir-fry Green Beans with Chicken): Outstanding creation from Chef!! This dish will make you eat a lot of rice, and you will still want more! The balance of all the spices in the Thai Red Curry is the soul of this amazing dish. You can choose your protein and as you can see we picked Chicken. The tender slices of Breast Meat was not dry at all, in fact they were extra moist and also flavourful. The opposing texture of the chicken and the crunchy green beans made a perfect match! All in all, this is truly a great addition to the culinary scene for Cranbrook, as one of the Best Thai Chefs has chosen this friendly and amazing town to call home!!

Pad Thai with classic tamarind sauce, 3/5 spice level

We came here hoping to dine-in but unfortunately, they only do take-out. When we pulled in, a server saw us and came out to take our order. The menus are posted just outside on the window so you can pick your items outside. The front door is locked so you can't enter. We got the chicken pad thai with tamarind sauce (traditional style) and Thai ice tea to share. You can pick how spicy you want your food and we selected 3/5 based on the waitress' recommendation, which was just perfect for us (we like spicy food). The food came out fairly quickly. We paid out of the window of our car. Everything was really good! The pad thai was flavourful and had the perfect balance of sour, sweet and salty. The noodles were a little soggy but that can't really be helped since it's take-out. We also really liked the iced tea and maybe should have gotten one each instead of sharing. Honestly, you don't expect the ethnic food to be great in a small town but we were pleasantly surprised! The service was friendly. Parking is outside in the lot.

The "I 9" notes are my ratings out of 10 for the dishes we have tried so far. :-)

See all
