Came by for an early dinner. I had a reservation I made online but the place was empty so really not needed this early. Anyway, they seated us at a weird corner table in the back which was super awkward. Not sure why when they had several other tables unoccupied. We ordered: Thai lemon tea - good but a bit too sweet. Very strong tea though. 4/5. Boat noodle - good. Solid 4.5/5. Nice noodle texture, rich broth, very similar to the ones I had in Bangkok. Som tum pra la - good but way too salty. The pra la is a nice touch adding some funk and authenticity, but overall too heavy handed on the seasoning so it's overly salty. 3/5 Silom grilled chicken - good. Juicy thigh meat. The sauce is excellent. 5/5. Pad kee mao - good dish. Nice noodle texture. They know their way around a wok. 5/5 Food here is legit authentic tasting. If you've eaten these things on the streets of Bangkok, this is about as close as you get in Vancouver, no joke. We asked for the spicy dishes to be "Thai spicy" and they delivered. If you like Thai level spicy, they got it. Service was friendly. The restaurant is clean but simple. This is not a place with social media photo gimmicks. Just selectable and chairs to eat their food. No unnecessary decor or fancy plating. Their prices are high though. That is their one big weakness. You can argue their portions are small. Relative to the price, yeah. But I find the portion size perfect. Prices are just on the high side especially for a casual joint like this. Overall value isn't amazing especially for this corner of East Van. Value-wise 3/5. Overall 4/5. Free street parking in surrounding neighborhood. read more

This restaurant is a disappointment. The biggest issue is the service and how disorganized the servers were. They don't know who order what and what each items are or they were just not willing to let the customer know the dish that they are dropping off. We were a group of 8 people. We had separate bills and were separated based on sections of the table. The server took our order. When the food came, none of the food were named back to us. They randomly dropped food to different people. Each person ordered their own dish and were not sharing this was communicated to the server so I can't see why they don't make note on who order what. They don't even listen to their customer's comment. This is the first time being at the restaurant and we have no clue how each dish on the menu would look like. I ordered the crispy chicken and it never came. All my friends were about to finish and so I told them to cancel it. The servers are family members of the restaurant but they should take a class on how waitressing works or maybe get experience elsewhere. I felt the situation was handled quite poorly. We ordered the spring roll and it tasted like the one that you get at the supermarket frozen and all you had to do was deep fry them. Please see photo. $9 for 4 tiny spring rolls that almost didn't have any vegetables in them other than vermicelli. For a restaurant, either they did get them from the supermarket or they were so cheap to even put vegetables in the spring rolls. I don't think cabbages costs that much. I did get to try the Pad Ga Pao Moo Grob. This one had crispy pork belly but this was another disappointment. The pork belly was overcooked (please see photo on how dry the meat looked) and on top the skin was not crispy at all. The food was very spicy but underlying the spicy burning flavor was the saltiness. It was so salty that likely the meat was not fresh and they used salt hoping to try to cover the taste or they were hoping to use salt to pull the moisture out from the skin but they made the biggest mistake and instead pulled the moisture out of the meat. I am being nice and giving them 2 stars given that they are not professional chefs or servers but a bunch family members trying their best. There are lots of room for improvement here. I don't think I will be back. The food was not good and the service was horrible. read more

Small little cozy restaurant. Food was tasty. Drink is a little watery down as the ice melts, is a little too milky, and tea is not strong enough. Portion is a little small, but the noodles were chewy and delicious! read more

I've been looking high and low and maybe I've found my fav Thai spot in Vancouver. Silom Thai doesn't care about your Instagram. No jungle-themed wallpaper, glowing IG worthy neon walls, no angel wings to pose your pouty face, no Buddha statues collecting dust in the corner. Just a tight, modest room off Knight Street, humming with the kind of quiet confidence that only comes from doing one thing really well. As you know, once you get past the location, bricks, mortar, and initial wow-factors, a restaurant is all about the food and how it makes you feel. The food? It hits different here. Forget the watered-down, coconut-milk-heavy stuff most Thai joints in North America sling as authenticity. Silom goes straight for the throat--in the best way possible. The flavors are bold, unapologetic. Spice that wakes you up. Funky fermented notes that hang around just long enough to remind you: this isn't Westernized. It's not trying to be polite. It's trying to be REAL. Curries here don't coddle you with sweetness. The chili hits first, layered with depth--garlic, fish sauce, the tang of tamarind--and yes, lemongrass, but not the perfumed kind that smells like a candle shop. This is Thai food how it should be: loud, spicy, alive. This isn't fusion. It's not trying to translate CONFusion of placating the western tongue. It's a love letter to Bangkok--written in chili paste and eaten with sweat on your brow - feel it pool and drip while you suckle in the last drops of luscious goodness. Silom Thai doesn't just serve Thai food. It serves Thailand -- no filter, no fluff. If that's what you're hungry for, pull up a chair. CHEERS!!! read more

Silom Thai Cuisine - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Such cute interior- a well decorated cozy space with garlic-packed flavours. I'm a garlic enjoyer and you will most definitely enjoy the Pad Si Ew if you are as well. Can't speak on authenticity but I loved the stir fry flavour's smokiness, chewy texture of the noodles, and tenderness of pork. Pad thai was a solid dish as well, though a bit tart for my preference, would still get it again for sure! Small shop so service is a little bit slow, but our waitress did come by to refill our waters :) read more

The food was pretty good but a little too spicy for my taste. We ordered the roti which we found way too greasy. The pad kee mao had really good flavour and "wok hay" but it was too spicy. They really should ask you the spice level you desire. The crispy chicken was also really tasty. The sauce was delicious but also too spicy. Wish it wasn't spicy at all. There's no need for it to be spicy. The servers were friendly but very inefficient and slow. It's a tiny restaurant and you can tell the servers are not experienced ones. Took them forever to come around with water or take our order. Hope this improves as the food is very good. read more

Really, really popular and rightly so. This food is something elevated beyond your standard fare. SO many things that sounded good and it was unique and should be added to your list. The only reason I cannot give it a 5 is one odd flavour in a powder that didn't appeal to me but my wife liked it. Also, portions are smaller (but filling). read more

Wonderful new thai place in the area. We ordered take out and tried a bunch of their dishes including the Pad si Ew which had great wok her and uses the clear rice sheet noodles! We also tried their.. Silom Platter (assortment of appetizers) Green curry - quite spicy but very flavourful and plenty of chicken Nam Tok Crispy Chicken - a bit too much breading Kao Pad Nham - tasty and not wet at all with little chunks of chinese sausage Overall, we were more than pleased with the delicious food here. Highly recommend for a delicious dinner! read more

I haven't eaten in at the restaurant, but have done take out many times and each time the food has been delicious and well priced. This restaurant has my favourite pad si ew with its chewy noodles. I also recommend the pork jowl. I have yet to try anything that didn't taste delicious here. read more

Tasty new Thai place on Knight. Parking is available on Knight, as well as the side street. Place is pretty small. Maybe 16 seats. Pretty cozy. Place is pretty bare bones, other than a LED logo on the wall. Staff are friendly. They speak Thai. Looks authentic. Dishes here do not include rice. Something to keep in mind. Pad ka pao moo grob - tasty pork belly. Nice mix of flavours. Comes with a sunny side up egg. Green chicken curry - chicken is fried and battered, much like Japanese karaage. Great taste. Dishes here can also be "Thai spicy", which is really nice for cranking up the heat. Very satisfying. Only real complaint is that the portion sizes are a bit small for the price. The quality is there though. read more

Been to Silom Thai Cuisine for a few dinners. On a recent visit, we shared roti with curry sauce ($8.00), tom kha soup chicken ($16.00) and pad kra pao egg-tofu & pork ($23.00). Added rice noodles for an extra $3.00. Roti's crispy but you only get four tiny pieces. Flavours were okay, portion sizes are small for the price. read more

First time to come here for dinner. I called to reserve a table in case I had to wait for a long time. My husband and I arrived at 7:25pm. Our reservation was at 7:30pm. We got seated quickly. The server was very polite. She was busy running around and served other customers. We ordered their platter for appetizers, pad Thai with glass noodles and pork and Tom Yum dry noodles. Everything tasted great. The papaya salad was more spicy than I expected. If you can't eat too spicy, make sure to ask the restaurant to make it less spicy. See the attached photos. All the dishes looked delicious and they were! Presentation of was great. Portion and pricing were reasonable and affordable. read more

Hidden on Knight Street is a little Thai restaurant that many have recommended. There was easy street parking in the front. The restaurant is quite small, so making a reservation would be recommended. We had a party of 5 so we were able to order a variety of dishes. The pad see ew and boat noodle was my favourite out of everything we ordered. The boat noodles were bouncy and very flavourful, but the noodle in the pad see ew was not as chewy as I would like. read more

Ordered food through uber eats Had a deal that was order a pad see ew and get a Thai milk tea. When delivery arrived, no milk tea came with it. Once reported to uber, the deal was gone from uber site, and no compensation from either parties. Seems like restaurant made an error and had to delete it quickly once they found out, but didn't send any refunds to customers. Uber won't do anything because they can't see the promotion. Poor standards in service read more

Had the Thai basil pork mince with rice . Perfect spicy level . Look forward to trying more dishes
