Burnt oily deep fried beef...really?!
Mori N.

Wanna know my experience? Ok...here it goes... This was a take-out order. If I had picked up canned Pad Thai from the dollar store I would've had a more pleasant experience. The shrimp in the Pad Thai is frozen not fresh, the texture is old seafood, and it had a raunchy aftertaste lasting into even the day after. It was not de-tailed or de-veined. So, you have poop-tailed old shrimp....eat up! There was barely any bean sprouts or tofu (see pic.) That dish had a terrible aftertaste, and I stopped eating not to risk possible food poisoning. The Noodle Rama. The noodles were cold and old sticking together like noodles would be found at the end of a left-over barrel reserved especially for cattle. But, even they I think would refuse. The beef looked and tasted like they had been deep fried, boiled and burnt (see pic.) The sauce tasted like it would if you mixed mayonnaise and ketchup, and there was no seasoning whatsoever. On top it all....they forgot our chopsticks. I'm not going to sugarcoat this for you. This was the worst Pad Thai I've had. Ever. What an insult to the beautiful nation of Thailand. *for the record 0 stars*

Pretty tasty Thai place in the Ambleside/John Lawson area. Parking is available on the side streets as well as in front. The inside is feels like someone's dingy living room. With the hot summer weather it really does feel like that part of the world. Staff were friendly. Looks like a mom and pop operation. Phad gra prow (beef) - not too dry. Served with chopped peppers, onions, beans, and basil. Green chicken curry - nice and creamy. Served with eggplant chunks. Overall a decent place worth checking out.

I am quite picky with my Thai food and it is always a challenge to get fairly authentic Thai dishes in metro vancouver. This place is a pleasant surprise and quite deserving of the stars given. It is run by Thai and while I can tell the spices and herbs are not at 100% for some dishes, they still are tasty. We requested medium spicy for all our dishes and only 1 was that. It did work out well as it balanced the rest of the dishes. We had green curry chicken and it was the only dish with heat to it. Deliciously creamy and went so well with rice. The seafood Tom kha tasted very mild and was a bit disappointing as I had better ones elsewhere. The saving grace was the fresh seafood. Scallop was so sweet. The mussel was plump. None of the seafood was over cooked or rubbery. Just wish the flavor was stronger and a bit more spicy. The beef pad gra pow was not really what I expected as I was used to the minced meat version and I preferred that version. It was not holy Thai basil so the taste very not very strong. It was also not spicy despite requesting medium spicy. The good thing was the beef. It was a good cut so you could taste the marbling and tenderness of the beef. It was not chunky and was thinly sliced making it a good good stir fry. The portion was decent and we had leftovers. This could probably feed 3 diners. Service was excellent with the staff coming by to top up our water glasses very frequently without being asked. They also checked on us and the food. I would come by here again if I have a hankering for Thai food when in west van. A keeper.

Got takeout from here and ordered their pad thai, crab delight, larb and mango sticky rice. Everything was pretty decent with the most unique dish being the crab delight. In general, there is nothing negative about their food but also nothing exceeding expectations. Prices are reasonable.

Amazing restaurant! Hospitality is outstanding, food is delicious. Ordered the chicken pad Thai and red curry. Both menu items were out of this world! Overall so pleased with our first dinner in Vancouver, hopefully coming back on our last night! Parking was a breeze as there was not many people downtown.

This is the authentic Thai restaurant run by Thai owner and chef.Some menu ex son tum(papaya salad) is good but some menu is not good enough ex Thai green curry

it was our first time visiting the restaurant and it was very busy at dinner. Our server was very…read morenice, friendly and provided valuable suggestions when we ordered We ordered 2 appetizers (calamari and chicken satay, i forgot to take picture of the satay!) and 1 entree (salmon penang curry). The chicken satay was definitely very good, flavorful and tender. The peanut sauce goes very well with the meat. Downside was the calamari, the pieces are quite big which make it not as crispy as it would be. Our favorite was the salmon penang curry. the coconut flavor of the curry together with the sweetness make it a very well balanced item. it went very well with the jasmine rice. We also tried the mango sticky rice. the warm sticky rice went perfectly well with the sweetness of the mango. very well made I would love to visit again to try other items on the list which caught my eyes

I didn't like the vibe here, nor did I enjoy sitting outside in the patio area with a table rocking…read moreso much we couldn't lean elbows on it. Drinks were nice (BBL/peach Bellini non-alcoholic) but probably overpriced for the size. (Banju drinks are half the price.) My friend's seafood dish had a weird mix of too many onions and drowned lettuce with not enough noodles. My pad Thai with beef had kind of a fishy taste. Have had more delicious pad Thai at places like Thai Coco or even Thai Express. Was offered dessert but didn't feel like staying. Servers were telling other customers about their 1.5 hour policy and they were really bothered by my empty drink container on the table until I put it down below on a chair for our purses and things. I actually wanted to keep the cup because it was thick plastic and reusable. Weird that at 5:30, they wouldn't let people sit inside because of reservations. Didn't look full by the time we left either so I think we could have sat inside just fine. Anyway ... I don't think I'll be back.

I went to Thai House to grab lunch and had a Pad Thai lunch special with shrimp…read more The meal was pretty standard, but good. It didn't blow my mind but I also don't think it was nearly as bad as some of the other reviews indicate. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Even when it was somewhat busy, I was able to get seated without waiting and the food came quickly.

Thai House Restaurant…read more 116 Esplanade W, North Vancouver, BC V7M 1A2 A Taste of Thai for Valentine's Day For Valentine's Day, I opted for Thai House Restaurant's special set menu for two, complemented by an additional order of deep-fried calamari. The experience featured a solid selection of classic Thai dishes, though the service fell short of expectations. Appetizers Deep-Fried Calamari The calamari arrived warm with a crisp, golden exterior. While the texture was well-executed, the seasoning was somewhat underwhelming. The accompanying dipping sauce was decent but lacked depth, offering little to enhance the overall flavor. A more vibrant or spiced sauce could have elevated the dish. Rating: 7/10 Satay Chicken Skewers The chicken skewers were a standout. Tender and well-marinated, they were packed with flavor and complemented by a creamy, well-balanced peanut sauce. The slight char on the edges added a welcome smokiness. Rating: 8/10 Tom Kha Coconut Soup with Prawns This soup was a highlight of the meal. The rich coconut broth was fragrant, with notes of lemongrass and galangal creating a perfect balance of creaminess and spice. The prawns were plump and cooked just right, adding to the dish's overall appeal. Rating: 8/10 Main Course Panang Curry with Basa Fish Fillet & Prawn Stir-Fry The Panang curry was velvety and aromatic, coating the tender basa fish fillet in a rich, coconut-infused sauce. The prawn stir-fry, featuring crisp snow peas, bell peppers, onions, and chili, was well-prepared, with the prawns retaining their natural sweetness and firm texture. Paired with coconut jasmine rice, the flavors were cohesive and satisfying. Rating: 8/10 Dessert Deep-Fried Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream A warm, crispy banana enveloped in a light batter, paired with smooth vanilla ice cream. While enjoyable, the dessert lacked an element of contrast or excitement, making it pleasant but not particularly memorable. Rating: 7/10 Drinks Complimentary Cordoniu Cava Clasico Brut Sparkling Wine A thoughtful addition to the Valentine's special, the sparkling wine was refreshing and paired well with the meal, offering a light effervescence to cleanse the palate. Ambiance The restaurant is spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, offering a comfortable setting for a casual meal or a special occasion. The warm lighting and traditional Thai accents contribute to a relaxed dining atmosphere. Rating: 8/10 Service Service was a weak point during this visit. While the staff was polite, attentiveness was lacking. Basic requests, such as water refills, were delayed, and no one checked in on our meal. A more proactive and engaged approach from the team would have significantly improved the experience. Rating: 5/10 Price The Valentine's Day set menu was well-priced, offering a good variety of dishes at a reasonable cost. Given the portion sizes and overall quality, it provided solid value. Verdict Thai House Restaurant delivers well-executed, flavorful dishes in a pleasant setting. While the food met expectations, the inconsistent service detracted from the overall experience. Despite this, I would return to explore more of their menu, hoping for a more refined service experience in the future.

My partner really wanted to try their Boat Noodle for a while now so we were quite excited to try that dish. The waiter was nice and recommended a couple dishes for us. Som Tum (Papaya Salad) 3/5 The texture was nice and it tasted refreshing but it is QUITE spicy. I appreciate the authentic Thai spice level but it was too spicy for us. I liked the sourness and I know this rating is a very personal rating based on our spice tolerance. Roti with Curry Sauce 3.75/5 Nice, flaky roti that wasn't too oily. I wish there was a little more sauce. Pad See Ew with Crab Meat 4/5 Great flavor. There was a decent number of clumped up noodle but the portion was great. Good amount of crab as well. Boat Noodle Soup 4.25/5 This was the best boat noodle we had so far. Flavorful broth with generous portion of various meats. There could be an option to get more noodles but my partner got this and she was satisfied with the amount since there were good chunks of meat. Good heat that creeps up. Roselle Drink 3.75-4.5/5 Great compliment to the dishes as it lightened and refreshed our pallette. Slightly sour. It tasted better with the food than by itself. Thai Milk Tea 3.5/5 Good enough. Wasn't the best but wasn't bad. Rainbow Sweet Sticky Rice 4.25/5 We were surprised it came in a cup and that it was soup-ier than we imagined. I was hoping that they had mango sticky rice but we thoroughly enjoyed the coconut I think it's also important to keep in mind that this is a relatively fast paced restaurant. There is some wait so you want to finish your food, pay, and leave. The staff was nice but we could tell that they wanted to keep the flow. We would be coming back again for sure! We loved the staff and the food.

It's our first time going to Unchai after their renovation earlier this year. Their store is bigger…read morenow with slightly more seats. Their food is still as good as before the renovation! We tried three dishes this time. We had MOO TOD PRIK TAI DUM as appetizer. It's fried pork loin with tamarind dipping sauce. The pork was surprisingly lean yet tender. It somehow reminded me of McNuggets but of course better. We had PAD PONG GARREE CRAB MEAT (turmeric curry with crab meat) and PAD KEE MAO CRAB MEAT (stir fired sheet noodles with crab meat) as our mains. Both dishes came with impressive amount of crab chunks. They were very flavorful and delicious. The curry was smooth and went so well with rice. The Pad Kee Mao was very well done too! The noodles were chewy, with layers of tastes - savory and herbal (lemongrass/ lemon leaves?) and it has wok hei too! Service was good. Servers were helpful and friendly! The taste and portion was good for the money. The only down side is that there's no free parking around the area. If parking is easier, I would go there more often!
