Where most of the food stalls in the Granville Island Public Market Food Court do well purely because tourists want something to eat, Sen Pad Thai stands out because it's actually a reason to visit Granville Island Public Market. It has earned a Thai Select Casual Award from the Thai government, which indicates it meets a minimum standard of authenticity. On my most recent visit I ordered the chicken wings and the pas see ew beef. The food took about 10 minutes to prepare, which is roughly the amount of time needed to secure a table. Both dishes were fresh and delicious - high quality thai food. As a food court, service is minimal but friendly enough. Whenever I'm at Granville Island, and want to grab a quality meal, this place is my go to and never fails to deliver a good meal. read more

This place is delicious! Had the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and a beef noodle dish (I'm terrible with names) and they were all so good. Cooked fresh, piping hot. Quick service. Highly recommend. read more

Adding a voice to the many recommendations for this stall in the Granville market. Absolutely delicious! The pork was super crispy, which I loved. The sauce had a little kick if you are REALLY sensitive to heat, but was fabulous poured over the rice. The food was quite hot, and is served in a paper box. It made it tricky to carry outside but there isn't really a better option. Pull your sleeves over your hands into little sweater paws and be on your way! read more

FOOD - Pad Ga Pao: ground chicken stir-fried with basil, green beans, bell peppers, and onions over rice. This was sooo good. It had really good flavor and a slight kick.

Price was a little steep but the food was delish! read more

Happened to stumble upon this place while walking in Granville island. I just had their tom yum noodle soup with crispy pork, about 22$. So delicious and flavorful. The noodles were perfectly cooked and soup masterfully made. Spicy, sour, a bit sweet. I would definitely come back!! read more

Amongst the majority of tourists food fare on Granville island lies this authentic Thai Gem! I a 2 min aquabus ride away, and must say this is the best takeaway Thai food in Vancouver. I only ever order the Pad Seeew with crispy pork belly. Be sure to order it spicy. Even when ordered spicy, it isn't too spicy. This is the best Thai dish in Vancouver. The noddles, the gai lan, the chilis and crispy pork belly are perfect! Not cheap, but the portion is generous and sooo delicious! If you normally get pad thai, get this and thank me later! read more

A solid spot for Thai in the Granville Food Court. The food comes out hot and fresh. I got the Pad Thai and it was delicious. It comes with tofu and the flavors are yummy. The spice here can be quite hot, so don't go for the highest unless you have a good tolerance for spicy. read more

I found this Thai gem in the Granville food court! After one bite of the beef pad siew, I was HOOKED. The fresh rice sheet noodles surprised me most; They're translucent with an addicting chewiness, unlike any other pad seiw I've tried. The umami sauce had a surprising kick of heat. Beef and chinese broccoli were well seasoned and tender. We liked the beef pad siew so much that we ordered the same dish again within an hour. The credit card reader rejected my duplicate purchase as an error and refused to process my payment. However, cheerful staff successfully troubleshooted the error! This was a delicious experience that left me full but still wanting more. Compliments to the chef(s)! read more

I ordered the Pad See Yew with Beef ($16.17 USD) and not bad but felt like it was a bit overpriced. I thought the dish had a good flavor but wished the beef were slices of meat instead of ground beef chunks. Also asked for some chili flakes to spice up the dish. Good place to visit if you're craving some Asian food or Thai food in the area. read more

I came here in high hopes after seeing everyone's raving reviews. I wasn't sure how I felt about it and I think I finally decided that I don't like it. Now, don't get me wrong, it doesn't taste bad but it isn't rocking my world like the other reviews led me to believe it would do. For $22, I got a half filled paper box. This might have been one of the most expensive dishes I've gotten on my Vancouver trip so far. The noodles were transparent, glass-noodle like with an extra chewy quality. Not the soft fresh rice noodles I've come to be accustomed to. the beef was ground beef, and there was lots of oil. The favor was sweet and mild, really different than pad siew I've had in the past. Tastes like a completely different dish. Now, the dish is still good but definitely not mind-blowing and not $22 good for a very small proportion. Don't write this place off if you're open to new twists on food and like trying food, but don't expect too much of it. I've tried it, decided it isn't for me, and for the sake of my wallet I won't be eating here again. There is simply too much good and cheap food in Vancouver for me to eat here. read more

probably the closest thing to thailand's pad see ew (and the closest we'll ever get to world peace) i lichrally took one bite and died and transcended into heaven and came back to earth. the only critique i have is that it would be 10/10 if the beef wasn't so ground beef + if the eggs were more eggy/ larger... but the glass or rice noodle is saur good that it still blew my mind and i would come back multiple times for her. crunchy texture but also so smooth and chewy UGH I LOVE i heard so many good reviews about sen pad thai and i had to try it while i was here on granville island. service is super quick and friendly as well! love the markets around read more

This place is located in the food court area in Granville Island. It's order and find a table. Depending on the time, it can be difficultly to find a table inside. There is some public table seating outside. My favorite place in the Granville food court. Food is like quality home cooked family meals. Portion and price is good, considering it's in Granville. Servers are friendly and stay on top of the orders. Just make sure to come check on your order after an appropriate amount of time. read more

Good place to eat if you're visiting Grandville Island. There are many food options, but this one always satisfies. The pork and rice dish is very tasty. It comes crispy or braised. While both are delish, I prefer the braised. Tried the pad see yew this time and it was great! Just enough kick of spice and good flavor in the beef and veggies. The people are nice and do their best to fulfill orders. It can get really busy, but that's true of all the food places here. It's open seating for all so stay alert for any open tables. This place is a go-to when we're here. read more

I heard about Angus An and was eager to try when I saw that she has a casual stall at Granville Island. I ordered the Pad Thai (mild) with crab meat - never heard of Pad Thai that were spicy before, I regretted not trying the medium spicy version instead . It was solid but somewhat standard. The crabmeat lacked flavor so I would advise trying chicken version instead. The curries looked really great, sauce vibrant in color. Wish that I had more time to try other dishes. Also they are super covid conscious. The lady taking the oder uses tongs to put the napkins and utensils into the takeaway bag with utmost efficiency. Looks like a well run place. read more

Sen Pad Thai - Solid Pad Thai with crabmeat - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I had to try their pad Thai Goong. It was amazing! In it we're medium firm tofu and shrimps. It wasn't too sweet. The salt and sweetness was so balanced. The bean sprouts, ground peanuts and chives gave it a nice crunch. No wonder it's very popular on Yelp. They don't have a large menu but are good choices and great textures especially for foodies. Do not miss this one. What I ordered cost $19.50 Canadian dollars and totally worth every bite. I would order or try the other stuff on the menu if I had the time. But my thing is always go for the pad Thai with whatever meat i like because that's how I will know if the rest of the foods will be promising. I said, "my thing". read more

The wings! Yes, we ordered wings that had a wonderful spice and crisp to them. Piping hot and packed with flavor. The dipping sauce I did without but others liked it. I can't speak for other items in the menu since I zeroed in on wings after a disappointing meal at the pot pie place (avoid it). So I was making up for utter disappointment and I was very nicely rewarded. Next time I'll come here first!! read more

Get the roasted crispy pork belly! I asked if I could just get the crispy pork belly on its own instead of the rice dish stated in the menu. And yes, I could order it as a side ($7). It came with some vegetable garnishing and a dip which was unexpected but very good together. The skin was still very crispy and the meat was fairly tender. Some parts had a strong gamey taste though it was not so bad overall. I usually do not order pork or most meat as I do not like the strong gamey taste. Avoid if you are sensitive to that. I also had the pad pa kra (minced chicken with holy basil stir fry) on rice. I requested to add on a fried egg but the staff forgot or did not hear me. Good thing I was not charged extra. It was surprisingly decent as it was already cooked and left to keep warm in a pot. It just lacked the wok hei since it was not made to order. It was a bit spicy so I did not have to add on more chili flakes to it. It was a big box and I did not finish it. I had it as leftovers and fried up eggs to add to it the next day. Delicious! Decent Thai food here. read more

My husband discovered this place at Granville Island and now it's our go to spot for lunch when we're in town. Good job, bb xx. ANywhos, we only get one dish and it's called PAD KANAA MU GROP which is stir fried crispy pork belly with Gai lan over rice. DID YOU READ THAT? It's insanely good wow! It's a little pricey at $18, but dang I guess its worth it bc we always order it lol On this trip we also tried the CRISPY FRIED TURMERIC CHICKEN & PAD SIEW. The chicken was perfectly crispy, but tbh we needed more chicken. The roti was okay and the curry sauce for dipping was crazy salty. I would skip that as the side and just get rice. The fried chicken dipping sauce was amazing. It was like a thick & sweet, limey fish saucy dip which paired so nicely with the crunchy fried chicken. YUM! The PAD SIEW was also very good. The rice noodles were CLEAR! We were very surprised by it, but in a good way. We love some clear noodles :) It was seasoned nicely and tasted great with rice, too hehe Overall, you should try this place if you like yummy asian food. We didn't order typical Thai food so it didn't feel like Thai restaurant to us, but that's okay bc the food served and it was delicious. If you see us at Granville Island bet you'll catch us tearing up that pork belly and Gai lan dish, trust. ORDER IT! read more

I know.. Some North Americans swear by a restaurants pad Thai and it turns out to be so damn average. Not the case here. I shit you not it is mfg'ing tasty. Something about the fish sauce. It's not overwhelming, just perfect. I want to finish this pad Thai but I'm on a schedule.. Aarrgh. read more

This is good, but for all the years I've spent in asia I have never ever seen this flavor profile being sold in Thailand. It's very common in Chinese cooking. Disappointed because I thought I was going to try something new and exciting read more

After a bit of exploring and window shopping we started to get hungry. I was looking for a good snack when we came across Sen Pad Thai. The staff was just putting out some freshly fried chicken wings and I couldn't resist! They also had a pot of juicy pork belly and 2 curries -beef, chicken. Wings 5/5 - lightly fried, super crispy skin with a lightly sour/spicy dipping sauce; on par with Pnom Pehn wings! Only down side is that it was a bit pricy - $12 for only 8 wings Roti with curry 4/5 - roti was fresh, not oily but I wish the curry was a bit thicker and spicier My friend had the Pad thai and she thought it was pretty good. Next time I'm in the area, I'll have to come back to try the pork belly or curry! read more

Disappointed. Rice to meat ratio was out of this world! The box was more than half full! I love rice but not this time. I got one of the main plates...Crispy pork....pork was crispy, delicious, but could have had more pork for a little over $22. The egg is perfectly soft. It was lunch time and Granville island marketplace was packed. The service was fine, not a long wait for the food. Not the best Thai flavor I ever had but it did the trick and kept me alive. read more

Authentic Pad Thai in the Granville Market. As crowded as it was, we only had to wait 15 minutes. Seating is difficult. We found a place outside on a bench. I would definitely eat here again. read more

I came here after a workout to grab some lunch and ended up deciding on the crispy pork belly with rice. Service is very quick and there are tables both inside and outside you can eat at. Some of the pork belly pieces were a bit hard and I wished there was more veggies to round out the meal rather than just rice. Overall, not bad. read more

I heard shout this place on Tiktok of all places! Had to check it out since I went to Thailand a few years back, I am now in love with the food. This place is located within Granville Island market in the food court area. We ordered the Pad Siew and Pad Kaana Mu. Both were delicious. The Pad Siew had these really wide noodles which you can tell must be made in house, they were see through and had a great texture. The noodles soaked up all the good flavors of the sauce. The Pad Kaana Mu was a pork belly with rice and gai Lan dish and was super flavourful. The pork belly was not dry, it had a nice crispy skin! I will definitely be back to try their other dishes as we had trouble choosing!! read more

Visited Sen during our trip to Granville Island. There wasn't a line and it wasn't too busy. Food came out pretty quickly and was HOT, but no complaints from me. We got pad Thai with shrimp (prawns) and it was delicious. There were other dishes on the other side of the counter and they all looked delicious but we really wanted to try more so we could only purchase one dish. read more

Came here after wandering the island and seeing the reviews. Was hoping for Thai nirvana. Instead, got a solid pad dish. My frustration is that I asked for it without the peanuts and...got a dish to go with peanuts. Didn't see it until later. The noodles were fine if a bit too sweet. But the rest of the ingredients were fresh and it was served nice and warm. Overall, it's a decent place on the island but with so many good choices, I don't think it deserves the "must have" status that others want to convey. read more

I was craving Thai food and I heard this place was good. They're located in the food court in the Public Market next to Celine's Fish and Chips. I ordered the Pad Siew Beef and I was blown away by how much flavour it had! The rice noodles were not your average rice noodles, they were somehow more chewy in texture and absorbed the sauce really well. There was a bit of heat and the veggies were delicious as well! The dish was a bit oily but it had lots of wok flavour. The beef was ground beef and the crispy onions on top sealed the deal. I would come back to try something else! Don't underestimate them just because they're in the food court. read more

If you are in the Granville Island Public market and you are looking for options to eat, look no further. Just come grab pads see ew noodles and thank me later. It was beyond amazing.

I highly recommend it esp on a cold rainy day. read more

Located in the Granville Island food court, they have some vegetarian options that can be modified to be vegan. I ordered their pad siew ($16 plus tax), which is very pricy for food court good. The food was ready in 10 minutes. I ordered it "spicy" (one notch below "Thai spicy"), which was extremely spicy and I can usually handle spice. You get a generous portion of flat rice noodles, tofu, and gai lab, cooked with onions and a heap of oil -- there was a little swimming pool of oil at the bottom of the box. It wasn't the most flavourful dish -- spicy, sure, but not all that flavourful. It was certainly filling though. All in all, expensive, oily, lacking in flavour, but tasty enough and filling. Not bad. read more

Don't even bother-the price has gone up over 40% from the last time I was here (from $12 to $17) and the Prawn count dropped from 6 to 4. Whoever is working in the kitchen is still following the recipe but using less of everything but plain noodles and the flavour just isn't there anymore. You could do much better elsewhere. read more

The reviews I read about this place were definitely accurate. I'm a big fan of Thai food and I can not wait to go back and try the other dishes! I had the crispy pork fried rice. The pork was perfect. Super crispy skin. Flavour was 10/10. It's not the cheapest but you probably get double the amount of food you would normally get from a fast food Thai place. If your in there area give it a try! I'm sure you won't be disappointed! read more
