    chicken vermicelli bowl ($12)
    Jordan N.

    A sweet spot downtown Kelowna that has extremely quick service and super affordable menu. We were just stopping by so I don't know the relative prices of the city, but gosh it's cheaper than Vancouver and BCs tourist traps. I ordered a chicken vermicelli bowl ($12) which came with a small spring roll and assortment of vegetables. The dish was filling and satisfying but nothing out of this world. My friends got the curry spicy dishes which looked a lot tastier for a small increase in price. However at some point the servers did switch and they were a bit uninterested with us. I would definitely recommend this place to someone stopping by Kelowna. Super quick service and affordable filling menu! Would try their mad mango smoothie next time too haha.

    Has a breakfast menu

    This is a cute and cozy malaysian eatery. They specialty is soup. I tried their beef noodle pho with meatballs for a late takeout lunch. It was super busy but organized and quick. The prices are cheap and the food is tasty. They add a lot of veggies and you could get your noodles on the side if you wish. The popular items are laksa soup and the curries. I would come back and try other items. The interesting fact is that there is breakfast and some smoothie items in this Asian diner.

    Mad mango has been open for about 13 years and has quite the customer base. If you go at peak times or on the weekend there is usually a lineup. Very casual atmosphere. Both my parents are from Singapore and I grew up eating authentic Singaporean/Malaysian dishes. I've been back to Singapore as well as a young adult and ate at many of the popular restaurants and hawker food courts. I've had many bowls of laksa in my lifetime. I think Pat's (the owner) motto of wanting to offer good and affordable food that everyone can enjoy is very sweet. "Everyone should have the privilege to have a decent meal that doesn't cost them much". She makes a point to remember people's names and what they like to order. She works extremely long hours and is such a hard worker with a really big heart. I really admire and commend that. We ordered: Sticky rice, Laksa soup & Veggie curry rice. All the broth for the dishes in the category "Curry Soups" are the same. So if you're feeling like you want the laksa but would rather have rice - you can get the veggie, chicken, beef, lamb or prawn curry rice instead. Food came out very quickly. I tried my fiancés laksa broth and it was the same as my veggie curry. This is not laksa that I grew up with or have had elsewhere, it is thinner in consistency and doesn't have the same richness or toppings that I'd typically see in a laksa. I would just call it a coconut curry soup. But it was still a yummy coconut curry soup! I really liked it because of the amount of veggies and the variety of veggies I got. My Indonesian friend loves this place, we will be back :)

    Beef Pho
    Gord G.

    Returned to have the Beef Pho. I found that the broth was a touch salty, but quite flavourful whereas my wife thought the amount of salt was fine. Rather than the beansprouts, Thai basil, a wedge of lime, and whole chili pepper on the side as I've usually had it, the beansprouts were just piled on top of the beef in the bowl. There was no basil which I understand might be difficult to find in a smaller city, but I was offered fresh cilantro and chili oil instead. A little disappointing, and I would suggest to the owner that they might consider growing some Thai basil which would definitely make this dish better. And I would expect that fresh chilis would be relatively easy to come by as would the lime. As it was, the pho was tasty, better than some I've had, and quite reasonably priced. A few small changes would make this much better however.

    OMG THE RICHARD SOUP IS ABSOLUTELY INSANELY AMAZING!!!! What a gem. 5 stars for that soup alone. It has such a depth of flavour I'm so obsessed I will never not get that soup while in Kelowna. Layers and layers of flavour it's perfected. It's like a red curry freshly flavoured chicken soup with perfectly cooked veggies and wonton dumplings. Which you don't even taste the beautiful sesame flavour until you bite into the wontons! Omg it's amazing. The other food we ordered was only ok. Ordered the chicken salad rolls and sweet & sour pork dish too. I will absolutely be back for the soup. I can't get over how flavourful it was. A must try while in Kelowna. M.M.

    A couple locals suggested this spot for lunch and I am so happy I stopped by. Great for lunch or a quick bite to eat. Definitely stop by if you're in downtown Kelowna. Had their most popular soup and it was delicious. Perfect amount of spice and loved the variety of veggies.

    I eat here on a weekly basis. Chicken Laksa Soup is my go-to. A healthy option that takes only minutes to order and take out.

    Amazing service and authentic Thai food. Went back 3 times just during this long weelend.

The Thai iced tea is amazing and is a must. Would definitely go back here to this restaurant!

    We decided to check out Pick Thai for lunch. It's run by a Thai family and they're located next…read moredoor to Subcity Donair. We dropped in on a Friday (around 12:45pm) and it was busy. There's two tables outside and another four inside. Service is friendly but it's a one woman show in the front. The menu consists of appetizers, soups & salads and main dishes (noodles, curry and wok). There's a daily lunch special ($10.95) but most dishes are in the $10.95 to $14.95 price range. They also serve bubble tea and other drinks (classic tea, fresh milk and over ice). There's a heat scale (mild to hottest); we went with spicy (middle option) but there was barely any kick at all. Would request hot or hottest if you want some heat. - Jasmine rice ($2.00) - standard fare. One bowl is enough for one person. - Pad thai chicken (N1) ($12.95) - we opted for the tamarind sauce. Good portion of noodles and the flavours were on point. One of the better pad thai's I've had in a long time. The only downside was that the chicken was dry. - Beef massaman curry (C2) ($12.95) - curry was tasty but there wasn't enough sauce. The potato was literally French fries; can't say I've ever seen that in a Thai curry before. Good flavour but wish they gave you more sauce. The beef was unfortunately tough and chewy. Clearly the meat they use isn't fresh. Decent Thai but not all the elements were there.

    I forgot to make my review when I had this place last - and unfortunately it is going away :(…read more I really enjoyed the ambiance of this place. You walk in and it's always bumping and bartender is always making funky and cool drinks and everyone's always having a great time. Lots of conversation between friends or even between strangers at the bar. Service was always great. The best dish is the brussel sprouts - it always has something funky in it - marshmellows or grapes and then cheese. It was so enjoyable and they truly believed in their culinary art. I've always appreciated their evolution of their dishes and it was never boring to come back again and again. I truly hope the owners are able to create another restaurant as creative as this one and make it last. I really truly enjoyed this!

    I remember having a great dining experience here a few years back so made sure to stop by when in…read moreKelowna visiting. We booked a Happy Hour reservation for the long Sunday Easter long weekend at 4:30pm and we were the first to arrive. As Salt & Brick has an evolving fresh sheet menu, you never know what's on the menu but they usually have a few staples like their Brussel sprouts. As this was my boyfriend's first time here, we ordered the Brussell sprouts with popcorn and the Rigatoni. We were given the regular menu but did inquire about Happy Hour and the Brussel sprouts, pastas, and charcuterie board were on special. Unfortunately, they didn't have any oysters available that day. Small cozy atmosphere with a cute front porch. It's a small bar and kitchen that you can see and wonderful that you see and hear all the food being freshly made to order. Our server was friendly, chatty, and attentive but also gave us our space too. The Brussel sprouts served with cheddar popcorn, grapes, and ripped beer cheese is a bit salty, sweet, and so satisfying! My partner doesn't love Brussel sprouts but really enjoyed this dish. The Rigatoni was a bit rich with a nettle became sauce but served with the earthy lily spears, it was a well rounded dish altogether that we also enjoyed. Cute restaurant on the Downtown main strip that isn't a major chain, which is refreshing. Will continue to visit next time in town and hopefully they will have oysters then!
