review is purely for the tomyum, which sadly had prepackaged, spongy tofu and no veggies other than mushrooms. Broth was tasty though. Not sure if I'd be back when there are so many other Asian spots in New West

gai hor bai toey chicken-pandan leaves
Divyasri C.

We stumbled upon Pastara Thai during one of our walks and it quickly became a favorite--we've been regulars ever since. From the outside, it's an unassuming little spot, but don't let that fool you. The food here is absolutely incredible. The Khao Soi is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and totally authentic. It instantly transported me back to Thailand. Nothing about it feels watered down or Americanized. The gai hor bai toey chicken-pandan leaves is another standout: perfectly balanced flavors and cooked to perfection. The space is cozy and intimate, and always seems to be bustling, so I'd recommend going early. But what really makes this place shine is the service--genuinely warm, polite, and personal. This is really what makes me want to go back each time. Also, their bua loy perfectly hits the sweet spot if you have space for dessert, especially on a cold rainy pnw day! Sorry no photos of the Khao Soi because we immediately devoured it as soon as it was brought to our table. Hands down, this is my favorite Thai restaurant in BC. Can't recommend it enough.

Love the food here! The interior adds to the ambience, and the servers are super nice. This was my second time at this cute restaurant, one that you would've driven by if you didn't know it was there. As a vegetarian, Thai places are usually difficult. But para make sure to highlight vegan options in their menu and is knowledgable about dishes that could be substituted. I was disappointed that the pad Thai could not be adjusted for my dietary needs, but the other dishes that I could have were great.

Patsara Thai is a little hidden gem of a Thai restaurant located in New Westminister. They have authentic decor and even sell Thai snacks at the front of the restaurant. Pad Thai - Flavourful and packed with flavour from the tamarind sauce. A good amount of veggies and chicken was present too which is always a huge plus. Curry noodle soup - Another amazing dish from Patsara Thai. Ample amount of noodles and toppings in the bowl and has the perfect amount of spice

Spring Rolls, Curry, Pad Thai Noodles, and Rice.

My partner and I have walked by this place several times and it smelled divine. We decided to stop in one night and we definitely did not regret it. The food was fantastic, the best Pad Thai Noodles I've had at a restaurant. The spring rolls were quite crunchy and lather than I thought. The curry tasted wonderful as well. The service was quick and the couple of times I needed something the staff were there immediately and it took me no effort to flag them down. The restaurant itself is nice and cozy. They have a cool water feature in the restaurant itself. They also have a little market in the restaurant you can purchase quite a few things to make items from the menu. It's also decently priced as well.

Pad Thai

I discovered this gem of a place tucked away off the main road after spending a decade in new west. Despite passing by countless times, I finally took a chance to sample their food. The pad Thai, my go-to for gauging a Thai restaurant's quality, exceeded expectations with its rich, deep flavors--I practically polished off the entire plate. Besides their delicious dishes, they also offer a reasonably priced selection of groceries. Excited to try out some spice packs at home that I've purchased from there.

Swimming rama with tofu (made vegan)
Matt B.

Decent Thai food with a few vegan options, but there are much better Thai places in Greater Van, even if it's Thai-challenged. I don't live near New West, but we were visiting friends out there and so decided to try this place out, as they have a small curated vegan section of the menu. It was a bit tough trying to find enough vegan dishes to split for the four of us, but they found some dishes that worked for us. We ordered: -Vegan tom kha soup -- very coconuty broth, gently sweet, lightly spicy, with tofu and mushrooms. Quite simply and lacking depth, but tasty enough. 3/5 -Vegan massaman curry with tofu -- we requested this "Thai spicy", but it was just slightly spicy. The curry was flavourful cooked with potatoes, onions, and peanuts. Not the most complex curry out there but pretty well-done. 3.5/5 -Vegan pad pak -- solid mixed veggie dish with a garlic sauce. You get broccoli, carrots and cabbage for the most part. Simple but effective. 3.5/5 -Vegan pad see ew -- the wide rice noodles were nicely cooked but they clumped together, indicating a rather amateurish cooking style. It came with tofu, carrots, broccoli, cabbage and mushrooms. Not the most exciting or competent version of this dish, but it was decent. 3/5 -Swimming rama with tofu -- they usually do this dish with chicken, but they substituted tofu for us. It's cooked with a mild, medium-sweet peanut sauce, and accompanied with broccoli. This dish is better done with spinach but this was decent. 3.5/5 All in all, good but rather unexciting Thai food--I guess that's expected for New West. I wouldn't be in a rush to return but I'd be happy eating here again.

Tofu pad thai
Cyrah E.

Unbelievable service. We were greeted with a curtsy and a lovely smile. The staff and food are amazing!!! My boyfriend and I took a chance here after walking for 10 mins away from the New West station. I am so happy with this great find! I ordered the spring rolls to start and tofu pad thai as my main dish. I can't stress this enough: THIS PLACE IS TO DIE FOR. I especially love that they have vegan and vegetarian options!!

Dinner @Pasara Thai New West Street parking Casual Thai food Food good Service good 6 of us and we had 3 orders of Shrimp cakes (yes, it's that good!) Papaya salad-refreshing Pad Thai-good (noting compares to what we had in Thailand though) Massaman Curry Lamb, Beef, Chicken- Kinda disappointed. They used to be really good but this time was too sweet. The beef was tough and chewy. Lamb had a weird texture that my friends said. Eggplant Basil beef-tasty Roti-very oily Tom Yum Gong-not bad Service was good, food came out fast. Just wished that they are as good and consistent as they once were.

Basil chicken lunch set. Iced tea not included.
Carolyn L.

I am glad to have found a place for good Thai food. I was there during lunch and ordered the basil chicken rice lunch set - phad kaphrao kai dao. This dish is usually my benchmark for Thai food as it is a dish commonly found in Thailand. The version here is pretty good with though it could be spicier. It was probably my mistake as I did not indicate if I want it spicy. They did have cut chili in fish sauce so that helped. I loved the fried egg with its runny yolk, that was so good. The only negative was the rice. It was very hard and dry. I did not send it back to the kitchen as I was not sure if that was the way they served rice here. I definitely did not taste or smell the jasmine - a pity as Thailand does produce the best jasmine rice and it is what I usually eat at home. For the lunch set, it just came with a vegetarian spring roll. It was ok. I would not order it as an appetizer. I also wish they will offer a small bowl of tom yum soup as an add on to the lunch set. I also had the iced Thai milk tea. That was legit, except it was sugary sweet. Instead of using more milk (condensed or evaporated) for the sweetness, it was done with sugar. It would be perfect if they use more milk like in Thailand. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes. The place is easy to miss as it is just a building/house on its own, with no obvious sign that it is a restaurant. It has beautiful decoration inside though. A nice place for a meal with friendly staff.

Pad thai and...I forgot the name They give complimentary fried wonton.

If you want consistently great Thai fusion in New West, Longtail Kitchen never misses. As the…read moresister restaurant to Maenam, you can really taste that same attention to balance, depth, and quality in every dish. My partner and I are regulars here. Some of our go-to favourites: green curry, pad see ew, gai lan with pork belly, and the Thai fried rice with grilled pork. The flavours are super consistent every single visit, which honestly is half the battle with takeout spots. Their rotating specials are also worth watching for m, and are always fun when there's something new in the mix. (my pictures don't do justice) It's definitely a bit pricier than your average quick Thai spot... however, the ingredients taste fresh and the portions are satisfying. Love the little thoughtful touches too: self-serve water station, compostable containers and cutlery, and an easy casual setup that works perfectly for a Quay lunch or dinner. I'm giving it a 4-star because the place closes at 6pm Mon-Thu and at 7pm on all other days. I always feel like I need to rush or have early dinner if I wanted to grab food from here. All in all, this is a solid Thai food option in New West. Basically, if Thai street food and elevated comfort food had a waterfront glow-up, this would be it!

Although it is a bit hard to find (it is tucked inside the food court of the River Market), it is getting busy through word of mouth. Since it is part of the food court, you order your food at the counter and then find a table to sit at. They will usually bring out the food to you when it is ready. When we go, we usually order their deep fried chicken wings and fish balls to go with a tofu pad thai. Nothing beats their fresh off the wok pad thai!

Authentic tasting Thai takeout/delivery food in Burnaby South along Kingsway opposite side of BMO…read more Grace is the nice lady who answers their phone and runs the front of house. They cater to several delivery apps and I've seen a lot of drivers picking-up food there. We usually opt to just call-in our orders and pick it up after 20 mins since we live close. You get a 10% discount for dinner orders (pick-up) plus saves a bit of money. They have a small dining area -- bar seating by the window. Their pad thai is delicious! We've tried tofu (with egg), shrimp (plus $3) and chicken. They don't scrimp on the shrimp so the additional price isn't bad plus the serving size is quite big. We've also tried #40 Black pepper (Chicken) - it was flavorful, lots of bamboo shoots and other veggies. #57 Pineapple fried rice with chicken -- it was okay, it was a bit moist for us as we prefer drier fried rice and the pineapple chunks were a wee bit too big. Their Thai tea was great. Loved their Basil Chicken fried rice (no peas and beans for us) -- so flavourful and lots of chicken pieces that it's enough to be eaten on its own without another viand. Reheated leftovers the next day and it was still yummy and flavourful. Their Chicken Satay is good too loved the satay sauce, portion size is bigger than your typical Malay/Thai restaurant and it comes with a side of potato chips. Really enjoyed my bowl of Tom Kha Chicken (coconut milk soup), big serving size and thicker soup -- so comforting and warming to the stomach and soul. Overall, Twinkle Thai is our go-to neighborhood Thai place. Pricing and serving sizes are really good value for money plus the food is made really well. Lastly, I'm glad that they are willing to modify our orders (by removing beans/legumes bec of hubby's dietary restrictions). I look forward to trying more things in their menu.

Green curry was chock full of flavor, the spring rolls seemed made in- house and were perfectly crispy. Food was piping hot on pickup and stayed that way thanks to the through and careful packaging.

After that, we ordered from them again many, many times through the Fantuan app. The menu is simple. Basically rice and noodles, just as the name of the shop implies. They cook their food soooo well though! There's a deep "wok hei" flavor to their rice and noodles. They do also have a few other side dishes like gyoza and spring rolls which you can order, but basically we go to this place for the rice and noodles. This was the first time we actually dined in the restaurant instead of getting takeout. Highly recommend dining in! So good to eat the food fresh and hot. It's a great place to stop for a quicky, filling and tasty meal. You choose your base, then your protein, and then your level of spice. Pay at the counter, then sit down and they will bring the food out to you when it's ready. In our group we ordered some gyoza, chow mein, pad thai noodles and pad see ew noodles. I must have been hungrier than I realized, or else the food just tasted soooo good that I ended up eating my entire plate of noodles, when I really only needed about half the plate. This place is a "must try"!.
