Heads up, you pay up front and to go containers are self served. Don't expect perfect service or romantic ambiance, but expect some really good Thai food. Trust me, I'm from Thailand and the food here is legit. Spice levels are 1-5 with 5 being the spiciest. I ordered level 1 for papaya salad and just like my mom would do, they made it spicer than it should be because just like my mom would it say it tastes better that way. read more

Ordering is easy but she kept whispering under hear breath and so I felt like I was being judged. It was super salty and hard to eat. Not much veggies and a bit of meat on top. read more

Talay Thai - N3. Pad Keemao (Drunken Noodles) - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

At first glance this place doesn't look like anything special, just a standard Thai place tucked away near a shopping center. I wouldn't recommend it for a fancy dinner date but the food is definitely a 5 star... we go to place when we don't want to cook read more

My daughter and I, love the food here. I usually get the crab fried rice, which is made with real crab not imitation crab and daughter loves the pad Thai. Usually order for pick up or sometimes we sit and eat there which is a very nice ambience. The service and the family that owns restaurant is great! read more

Food was good. Got the lemongrass chicken pad Thai and massaman curry with chicken. Even though I ordered a 2 for a spice it was actually pretty spicy which is good. Vibes are good and chill since it was a weekday when I went. read more

Came in and got some pad kee mao to go. It was delicious. I really enjoyed it as I proceeded to eat the entire order myself along with the fresh shrimp spring rolls. This is one of the best places around for good go to Thai food. I don't really think people eat there though as it's more of a Thai to go order place. The food is always fresh. The veggies are fresh and they really know their sauces. Cannot wait to go back. read more

The food here is outstanding! We usually get salad rolls, yum nue, phad see ew. I ask for 4 stars on the phad and it is great! The first time we tried the place, the noodles were a bit overcooked. But ever since, it has been awesome! I take out-of-town guests there all the time. read more

We'll try this again. Food was tasty but very saucy. Not many noodles in my wife's noodle dish. Price were good. We haven't been to many Thai places in Vancouver but will go back to this one. read more

The food was OK. She could've came back and asked how it was. Nobody eating inside? Good luck.

Favorite Thai food in Vancouver. Their tofu pad Thai has the best flavor with its tangy flavor with a hint of spice. The yellow curry is also amazing! I've tried other places in town and keep feeling let down compared to here! read more

Yes!!! Ordered the avocado salmon curry spice level 3 and it was bomb! My guy got a chicken veggies and cashew nut and liked it. I'd recommend it. read more

I have had the pad Thai a few times. It is good. But it is different every time. Smaller portions with chopped peanuts. Bigger portions with no peanuts. No service, other than taking your order and delivering your food. You have to ask for beverage refills, go to the counter to pay. Go to the counter to get to go boxes. Staff sits around a big table. With food on it. Been to much better places with better food and service. read more

Talay Thai - This was what I had, which was the combination appetizer platter. Only $13.95 and more than enough food for me! - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Stopped by for the 1st time and ordered pad see ew for pick up. I've had better elsewhere in Vancouver. My pick up order didn't include a fork so I asked for one. The expression I received by the cashier wasn't pleasant. No friendliness and the dish isn't the greatest, definitely not returning. read more

Very surly staff, esp. if you are picking up an order. In my opinion, if you are picking up, there's no need for a tip, but they apparently strongly disagree. Prices have gone WAY up since Covid, yet food has remained the same (or even reduced portions?). Food quality is average -- there are higher quality Thai restaurants nearby. To satisfy yelp's reviews, I don't really have anything to say about their ambiance. Years ago I liked the fish tank, but it seems like it has fallen to disrepair. read more

Disgusting!! I hope after they raised there prices they may have enough money to invest in hair nets!! Bon Appetite! read more

Talay Thai - Disgusting. Thank you - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Don't want subway but your noisy little ones do? Order Thai food while they eat their basic sandwiches. Hope they don't sit on your to go container as you drive it home. And enjoy the yummy, soft pad see ew while you kick them out of the house. Because you know they ruin your meals, loud mouth kids. I got a spicy level 3. I could've gotten 4. I don't like to cry when I eat. But this was good. The sauces/seasoning could be a bit more complex, this is why I'm giving th star rating of 4. The service was good, I ordered right before they closed on a weekday at 3 pm. The host was patient with the little ones while they kept shaking the candy machine. Bring quarters if you want to avoid a melt down. For a $14 plate of noodles, I'd go there again. Broccoli still had a crunch in the stem. The crown of the broccoli held sauce well, a bit soft. read more

I have recently discovered this little gem, I have been there 3 times and so far everything has been amazing!! I think I finally found the best thai food in Vancouver I've had Larb with ground chicken salad, it was delish but I ordered it with medium spice and it was pretty hot, but I still enjoyed the flavors! The Salad rolls with shrimp are super fresh with cilantro yummy lettuce, not iceberg and noodles and spicy peanut sauce Their Chicken Pad thai is saucy and flavorful, it's the best I've had in Vancouver. This is definitely worth your wild to give them a try I know I will be going back!! read more

Talay Thai - Chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

The first time going here I ordered their pad thai. It was just okay! It wasn't bad, but I've definitely had better. I decided to come here a second time, just to give it another try. I ordered the crying tiger and the chicken larb (in their salad menu). The crying tiger was not good at all. I would not recommend ordering that dish. The meat was cooked very poorly...it tasted like it was left over? And the sauce that it came with was just not good. It tasted too sweet and a bit like a generic salad vinaigrette? I was expecting it to taste a bit more traditional. On another note, the chicken larb wasn't bad! It tasted how I expected it to. It was a bit too salty and I wish they put more herbs in the salad, but I wasn't disappointed by it. Although I've had better, I did enjoy eating it. read more

Service is non existent. Not busy when we came but I had to go to the counter to place our order after waiting for a while at our tablr. Never checked on us. Had to go to the cashier to ask for water twice. Ordered Tom Kha - soup is bitter like they used powdered galangal and not fresh ones. Ordered pork rolls and they were burned. Not ever coming back. read more

This place has the best Chicken Pad Thai I've had in Vancouver. The yellow curry and pineapple fried rice is also very good.

Food was very good Ready Togo when we arrived. Drunken Noodles was spot on. The chicken pad Thai was very tasty We will be back!

The food is not very good and the service is a little mean I don't care for this restaurant even though it was close to my house I would prefer to go somewhere else where they are nicer and the food is better read more

First time here, I was not impressed. The lady who helped me, was not happy to do so & the food was mediocre. I have returned twice more the last few weeks & I am SO GLAD I did! I love Thai food, & this place got it together since my first visit! Glad I saved my review! I come in for lunch, they are quick & the food is delicious!! I'm a sucker for a good & spicy Pad Thai, & I've found my lunch spot!! read more

My husband and I haven't been to Thalay Thai in many years, since before Covid happened... And, we remember loving this place!! We planned a late lunch with a couple of our friends (Saturday, 2:30pm) and we all very much enjoyed it!! They don't disappoint - they never did, which made this our favorite Thai restaurant for family meals!! They give large portions and the food is always tasty - we always have extras to take home, even after getting full!! Plus, their take out is great too!! I would call to place an order and they were so quick - the food was always nice and hot when I got home with our meals!! Thank you for staying open for all these years Thalay Thai!! Plus, plus, plus, I was so happy to see their huge fish tank back in action!! I love watching the gold fish swim - I have ADHD & anxiety so this was always so calming for me!! We can also feed them for $0.50 - I'd love to go back soon with my boys!! They'd very much enjoy this!! read more

The food is good. I eat it often, since I live nearby. The portions are good and the price seems right. The Pad See Ew is my go to!

To go order was ready as promised. Generous portion; actually too much rice &it's an extra charge. Had a basil chicken dish that was swimming in liquid. Flavor was OK and glad I'd picked level 2. Glad the spice levels were included on the app. read more

Amazing food and service! It always seems so empty which makes no sense because the food is amazing. The customer service is great too!! read more

Talay Thai - N3. Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Some good stuff and some bad stuff out of this meal, mostly bad. I sent back my food so that's a big fail in my book. The place is nice. Good vibes, seemed busy enough. We ordered a simple spread, tofu salad rolls, Tom kah soup, and pineapple duck curry spice level 2/5 for both meals. No peanuts...allergy. And tea. Tea was great. Salad rolls came with peanut sauce... whoops. But whatever just don't eat the sauce. They were good salad rolls. The soup was for my girlfriend who isn't really a spice fan but she was being adventurous with 2/5. I usually get 3-4/5 but I went with 2/5 so she could have some of my duck. Her soup was almost inedible because of the spice. Easily 3 and closer to 4 outta 5 spicy. My duck curry was also ridiculously spicy for a 2, but not as bad as her soup. So I traded her. I sweated my way through the soup. It had a strange cardboard or foot taste that I didn't notice until about half way. The rice was good at least. She tried at the curry duck but eventually gave up and ate the last salad roll instead. She said the duck was chewy. Duck is my favorite so I figured I'd give it a try. It was terrible. Like leather. Dry and old tasting. More skin than meat. I love duck skin, but this skin was so chewy I couldn't swallow it. Just horrible and I know that there's no way the cook was proud of that duck, so why serve it? I spit out my first three pieces in a row on my plate because it was so bad. One was the ducks knee. There's no meat on a ducks knee so why was it in the meal?? The rest besides the duck in the curry was actually amazing. The gravy and tomatoes, and pineapple, were perfect. It's a shame the duck had to wreck it. And the spice was easily a 3/5. But the rice was good. And speaking of spitting things out, the cook walked out of the kitchen with a bus tub in his arms and spit into it in the front of the restaurant where I could see. It wasn't a loogie style horking spit, just like there was something inedible in his mouth, (maybe the duck?), and he spit the food into the bus tub he was carrying. Gross man, do that gross stuff in the back where I can't see it at least. You work with food... So I complained about the food, not the spit, she apologized, then I saw her say something to the cook guy, he didn't seem worried. She took the curry off the bill. I have a feeling that this disaster of a meal wasn't this places finest performance. The food was on the verge of greatness but crashed and burned before takeoff. A little quality control and this place would have been a 5/5 easily. It's just disappointing to have come on what I would guess was an off day. read more

Took a chance on trying a new Thai place and we decided on Talay Thai after reading all the good reviews. Oh what can I say.............. We both ordered Papaya salads, I got Tom Kha veggies my friend got bbq chicken The Papaya salads we're just ok. For me their was no wow factor.. and it was very small. The Tom Kha, suffice it to say I wish I ordered some thing different. The broth was very watery, and not much flavour. the veggies were minimal and over cooked. Hardly any spice at all when it was requested Thai hot, also didn't have all the good herbs and spices that I've come to love with Tom Kha. My friend tried to eat his BBQ chicken but couldn't because the chicken was too dry. He left most of it like literally about 80% of it on the plate. Sticky rice is not included with your Papaya salad. Nor is steamed rice included with your Tom kha. This point is key, because I have the word from a friend who is from Thailand. That every where in Thailand when you eat food weather it be at somebody's house or in a restaurant rice is always included. We both decided to order sticky rice. Sticky rice was hard as a rock and dry .We Could not eat it. The waitress was pleasant, I felt bad as they were noticibley under staffed. The Woman at the till taking take away orders was over whelmed. And nobody arrived to help her out. I don't enjoy giving 1 or 2 star reviews. And I do it only if the food imho is not enjoyable. To a lesser degree service factors in to my rating. I can deal with dodgy service and, picnic tables for seating. If the food is delicious, and portions are fair. They didn't charge us for the sticky rice. And they still seemed over whelmed as we were trying to pay.. Do I have to travel to another city far away like LA or SF, to find good Thai food? read more

I am not happy with this place, two times I ordered salad rolls they charged me 19% tax they manually entered a price when I would come in, and when I told them about it they didn't do much, so be careful, then I got food here said it was too spicy they didn't even offer to remake it, I will not be coming back here. read more

I have been ordering takeout from here for years and never had any issues. Ordered for my last time! There were only a few noodles in Pad See ew, mostly large pieces of broccoli. Same with the Yakisobi! The food didn't even cover the bottom of the take out container. Very disappointing. Will find a better Thai place now. read more

Very friendly staff and AMAZING pad Thai. Highly recommend. I've had a lot of Thai food and this is by far one of the best places in my opinion. read more

This place is authentic, warm, clean and friendly! The Pad Ke Mow is so flavorful, I want to come back for dinner! The Thai Iced Tea was delicious, a perfect blend. It's a bit far from our house, but we agree that we will both be back. There is plenty of parking, easily accessible and plenty of seating at lunch. Based on the area, I imagine it is really busy at dinner! read more

Talay Thai - Pad Ke Mow! Yummy! - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Good food but without telling me they increased the cost of my order for simply requesting no ice in a drink. Presumably because it increases the amount they serve when all they would have to do is, guess what, NOT PUT ICE. However, they did not tell me this until the transaction was complete. I used to order from them regularly but I will probably not anymore. read more

Authentic! I was having a difficult time finding an authentic Thai restaurant in Portland. Didn't realize how good I had it in Dallas - of all places. But finally, finding some authentic ones in Vancouver and THIS is one of them. Delicious tofu pad Thai. No added weird americanized ingredients. read more
