    Tom yum soup~
    Edward L.

    Solid Thai place in NW Surrey. Don't let the dumpy outside looks fool you. Parking is available in the ghetto lot in front the building (maybe 8 spots total). There is also street parking along 92nd Avenue. The interior is quite orange. Interesting colour since most Thai places are traditionally golden yellow. There are seats for maybe 30 people. Staff are friendly. They are actually from Thailand. I had the L5 red curry chicken lunch special. Food tastes quite authentic here. The tom yum soup is a bit on the salty side, but they actually got the spice level right. My local friends (North American palates) had trouble finishing the soup. The portion is somewhat on the smaller side. 1 rice bowl sized bowl of chicken curry, with the equivalent amount of rice. Served with a spring roll with plum sauce (are these even Thai?) and some sort of salad with dressing (also not exactly Thai). I left a bit hungry. Curry was nice and tasty though. Good flavour and I guess a half decent amount of meat. Wouldn't mind coming back, though I'd probably eat something else before or after.

    Really good and authentic Thai food, the service is quick and efficient . The ambiance is classic Thai hole in the wall Esque. I have come here so many times with different groups and everyone has always loved it

    Cashew Nut Chicken
    Julie B.

    Check out the lunch special $10 Clear broth, spring roll, salad, rice and entree. Hubby had Cashew Nut Chicken. Good but the sauce was more like a black bean sauce? I had the Pad Thai. Was good but I've had better.

    Brought over by friends and tried for the first time. Facilities are bit old, but food is delicious and service is friendly.

    This place has great lunch specials! we come here every so often to get our Thai fix and it doesn't disappoint! Lunch specials range from $12 -16 and come with rice, soup (like hot and sour) and a spring roll and salad. The soup is not great but everything is yummy!

    Pineapple Fried Rice and Ginger Beef (January 2022)

    I had read how people said this place had the best Thai food in Surrey, so I had to try it out. We ordered the Green Curry, Pad See Lew, Ginger Beef, and Pineapple Fried Rice. The standouts were definitely the Green Curry and the Pineapple Fried Rice. The curry was so flavorful and had such depth. Eating it with the fried rice just made it that much more delicious (note that their curries don't come with rice). The Pad See Lew and Ginger Beef were good, but were a bit on the salty side. However, this place definitely doesn't skimp on flavor as none of the food was bland and tasted authentic. I can see why foodies rave about this place!

    The decor of this place is amazing. The whole experience here is exceptional.

    Who would have thought that the best Thai food I will eat outside of Thailand would be in Surrey? This place is a delight - the food and the service are spectacular. This place has to be a family ran restaurant because it is always the same lady taking our order, who is polite and genuine. Most Thai places in the area are not owned/run by Thai people, but this one certainly is. The decor reminded me of when I visited Thailand. Now, the most important part: the food. The pad thai is divine - it has the perfect ratio of sauce to noodles and comes with plenty of chicken. The cashew chicken and green curry I also delicious. Whenever I go, I always ask for my dishes spicy, and they always have the perfect amount of heat. This is my go-to place for Thai food, and I do not see that changing anytime soon, or ever.

We went fairly late and found out that their last call was at 8:30 PM--something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit. Overall, I enjoyed the food profile, though the service could definitely be improved. It was challenging to get the server's attention, and some cutlery was missing until we asked for it. My friend and I shared the Mezza Sampler - Hot ($32), which included 2 falafel, 2 kibbeh, cauliflower, and halloumi fries. Each dish was quite good, but the highlight for me was definitely the fried cauliflower. It was served with tahini, tzatziki, and pita bread. I'd recommend this more for sharing, as it can get a bit greasy. Our other friends ordered the Lentil Soup (small - $5), served with bread crisps, and the Batata Narra ($10), which are potatoes in a tomato chilli sauce. They said both dishes were good, though the Batata Narra wasn't spicy at all.

It's especially good if you have a group of people dining with you. That way you can share different dishes and enjoy lots of different flavors. The Mixed Plate is especially good for that. I have seen from their menu online that they also offer something called Padisha's Table which requires a minimum of 4 adults ordering it, and costs $36 per person. For this visit we had the following: Beyti Sarma Small Mixed Plate Cheese Lovers Pide Lamb Durum Wrap Veggie Guvech Turkish Coffee Turkish Tea The Small Mixed Plate came with a humungous slab of lavash bread! It was crazy how big this piece of bread was. We were a group of 5 people and this Small Mixed Plate by itself could have been our lunch. It was such a huge piece of bread. Sooo good though. They baked it in the oven until it got all nice and puffy, and it came to our table piping hot. I always enjoy this Mixed Plate starter. It comes with such a nice variety of dips. My absolute favorite dip though is the Baba Ghannush. I think next time I eat at this restaurant, I will add on a separate order of the Baba Ghannush so I enjoy more of it than what comes in the Mixed Plate starter! I loved my Veggie Guvech. The veggies were roasted and baked to perfection. I'm someone who likes my food soft, so I was happy to find that the veggies in this dish were nice and soft. The menu description says that this dish comes with Lavash. I didn't see any more Lavash bread come other than the huge slab that came with our Small Mixed Plate. Perhaps they did this on purpose though. The one huge piece of bread is equivalent to several smaller pieces that you might get in other restaurants. I certainly didn't need anything more than the huge piece of bread we'd already been served, so was very glad not to see anything else come with my Veggie Guvech. If you're a cheese love, you can't go wrong with the Cheese Lovers Pide. It's our daughter's "go to" dish when we order from this restaurant. She really loves her cheese! The people who ordered Lamb Durum Wrap said the lamb inside their wraps was very moist and tender. I do recall also hearing good things about lamb dishes from this restaurant in the past, when we ordered takeout from them. The Turkish Coffee and Tea come in some beautifully designed cups. I have travelled to Turkey in the past and enjoyed a hot apple tea in a Turkish Tea cup. The cup that was used here was very much like the cup I drank from in Turkey. I never had coffee when I was in Turkey, but judging from how unique the design of the cup here was, it's probably a very traditional design for a Turkish coffee cup since the Turkish Tea cup was just like the ones I saw in Turkey. Highly recommend this place! There aren't a lot of Turkish restaurants within Metro Vancouver. This place is an absolute gem!
