I ducked in for an early dinner before the place got crowded, and it got crowded pretty fast. The food was excellent -- everything was good. Would come back for sure even though it's a bit far from downtown.

This place pretty much has everything that I would want from a Thai restaurant. Actually, the fact…read morethat it is located in an old warehouse is an added bonus, but that is one thing that you tend to get when you are in the innercity. The food was delicious, and they had a pretty good range on their menu - pretty much all of the standard that you get from your average Thai restaurant. Also, the service was pretty good, and they even squeezed me in despite being booked out. Great restaurant.

It's definitely best to go with a group and to share a selection of meals from the menu, rather than just having one meal to yourself. There are so many amazing flavours to try, it seems like a shame to just try one! My favourites from the menu are: the papaya salad, the stir-fried crab in yellow curry, and the deep-fried flounder. But I'm yet to have anything there that I haven't loved. The majority of the food is quite spicy, so remember to specify to the waiter if you want it mild.

One of the more recent establishments to open on Church St is Sabai. And whilst only being a recent…read moreentry to the Richmond food scene it is establishing itself as the go to Thai restaurant for Richmond locals. The layout of Sabai is bright and welcoming with the seating available on both the first and second floor of the building. Run by a husband and wife team (both trained chef's) the service at Sabai is very attentive and you can tell the produce used in all dishes is of a high quality. Now to the food, Sabai has some great lunch specials for $12 with two favourites being the house fried rice with prawns and free range eggs and the red curry beef with snake beans and steamed rice. A big highlight with the fried rice is that they use fresh (and decent sized) prawns, which is something or a rarity these days in a good fried rice. In terms of beers the selection is small, but the essential Singha beer is present and something which should be paired with any good Thai meal. For desert a big thumbs up for the coconut ice cream, which came in a very generous serving size and with a great taste and texture. Overall a great meal and one would have to say the best Thai in Richmond, can't wait to come back for dinner.

Yeah, this place was definitely one of those places worth checking out.

Brought tears to my eyes for two reasons: it is that spicy, and I never thought I'd find it here! Pretty cheap Thai beers also ($7.5 for Singha)!

Despite its reasonable pricing, the food did not lack in its taste or quality. We often take our clients here for lunch and meetings. The place is always buzzing but it's not too loud, so it's perfect for a client meet-up or just a casual catch-up with some friends. We've never been here at night but we're confident that they can impress us with their dinner menu, since their lunch offerings are spectacular.

The food was killer (in a good way). I went with my family--five people--which includes three…read morevegetarians. They were quite happy with the availability of vegetarian/vegan food on the menu. I (not one of the vegetarians) would highly recommend the "Crispy Coconut Cups" (a seafood appetizer) and the "Crying Tiger" (beef flank with a spicy sauce). Make sure you get an order of the roti too. The rice was bottomless with our banquet meals--so while I tried to keep room for the meals--the rice was quite good! Our server was nice and funny, not shy of cracking jokes. The seating is quite spacious and there are outside seats too--many of them covered by space heaters and under a shelter during the winter. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping here for dinner. Their "banquet style dining" worked well for us, and the portions ended up being exactly right for somebody who walked in on the slightly hungry side--which also makes their fast service and speedy kitchen helpful!

I'm not really sure about Thai restaurants…read more I've been to a couple of Thai restaurants (including one in Bangkok) but I have never really been all that impressed with them. It is not that I don't like Thailand, or the food, but rather because they don't use chopsticks. I even asked my friend who had spent some time in Thailand whether they use chopsticks to which he replied that they just use the humble fork. When I eat Asian food I like eating it with chopsticks, but then that is just my preference. This was an odd restaurant though because despite it being a Thai restaurant, the wall had a number of paintings of scenes from Greece, and one from Australia. The only reference to Thailand that I could find (with the exception of the name and the food) was a photo of the Floating Market tucked away behind the counter. The food was okay (though I forgot to spice it up) but the one dish that really caught my attention was the one that my friend bought. I can't remember its name but it was a curry with bamboo shoots in it and it reeked. I thought it was just me until a number of other objections also began to float up from the table, so I decided to hold my nose until we ended up leaving.

The service is quick and friendly and since it truly is a hidden gem we've never had to wait for a table. Each dish presents itself well and there is a HUGE menu that should be able to suit anyone's preference. But be warned, even their medium spiced dishes are quite full on and may be too much for anyone not ready and/or willing. One of the other stars of this restaurant are the two sweet older women preparing all of the food in the front of the house. They have thoughtfully created and prepared each dish and it comes across in the satisfying flavor. You can't go wrong with any dish here.

It was around 7:30pm on a Thursday and we were easily able to grab a seat inside, though the colourful courtyard out the back was full. The wait staff were incredibly friendly throughout our meal, very attentive without being annoying and clearly cared about what they were serving, which is always so nice to see. We started with Betel Leaf with prawn, Roast Duck Bao and, of course, Son in Law eggs. All three were incredible dishes and the perfect two-bite size for an appetizer (though we did feel the Betel Leaf was just a squidge too small.) You absolutely MUST have the Son in Law eggs - they are a truly delectable mash of flavours that you will talk about for weeks after. Wow. For mains we had Chicken with Cashew and Twice Cooked Crispy Pork Belly with a serve of rice to share. While we both looked at the dishes and thought "Hmm, quite small" we were VERY full by the end. I think cheaper Thai restaurants have ruined me with their oversized portions, so when I get a good size it seems tiny. Moral of the story: You will be full, you will be satisfied, you will be telling everyone you know about this place because the food is INCREDIBLE. So. Much. Flavour.
