    Pad Prik King -- ordered extra spicy but it wasn't. Tasty enough, though.
    Barry W.

    Went here with friends and it was fine. The inside of the restaurant was quiet and pleasant. The food was decent -- not special in anyway but good enough. Service was kind and accommodating. Parking was free on the street -- always appreciated. Bottom line: Probably about average for Thai food in Vancouver but I would consider it if I were in the neighborhood. Not likely to make a special trip out to find it.

    Ice coffee Thai

    This spot in Dunbar is one of the most underrated Thai spots in town. Chef and service staff are all Thai! Authentic Thai cuisine that will take you back to the streets of Bangkok! Their coffee is best in the area... and if you prefer just ask Donut to make you an ice coffee just like "home" and it's gonna be the most refreshing "picker upper" you can have without too much fanfare.

    Traditional authentic Thai dishes ... Modern Thai décor interior and wine bar. They have impressive dishes and drinks. We had : Red Curry Roasted Duck -Tender Roasted duck with red curry, coconut milk, lychee, diced pineapples, grape tomatoes and fresh Thai basil (Touch of Spice)! I personally love the bold flavor! 3 Flavored Black Cod - Layers of 3 flavors : Spicy, sweet and sour grilled black cod with diced pineapples, bell peppers, fresh Thai basil and seasonal vegetables. Highly recommended! We also tried these authentic signature Thai dishes, The aroma and the taste was impressive! Chili Basil Chicken Wings Stir Fried Garlic Broccoli Stir Fried Eggplant Beef Noodle Soup with super tender beef brisket cooked in 5 spice broth!

First off people here a genuinely friendly, big smiles from the lady Boss and warm welcome from other staffs once we stepped inside, menu is simple and yet full of choices! Since we love grilled meats, we decided to go for the Platter for 2, oh wow, when it came out, I thought I was Fred Flintstone! Anyways, I have not had pork in Greek cooking that often, and was eager to try their Pork Souvlaki, one bite and I am hooked ( not many Greek places offers pork on their menus ), other items on the platter : Chicken Souvlaki, grilled Lamb Shoulder, Beef Patties, Pork Sausages, all came fresh off the grill with delicious char flavours! Oh and their fresh cut fries are also outstanding! For $65.00 this is a great value for such a generous portion of quality meats! As for sweets, please please try their Portokalopita ( Greek Orange Cake ) its a super super moist orange cake that goes well with a cup of coffee! Our Server Jack makes you feel relaxed and also very helpful with giving you recommendations plus a sense of humour! Street paid parking available, and if you venture into the side streets you may find free parking on your lucky day!

    My friends took me here for my birthday and we had a nice evening. Reservations are recommended as…read morethe place was packed on a Tuesday. We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with Taku and watching him prepare drinks. They have an impressive cocktail list. The bar stools didn't have a backrest so it was a bit uncomfortable after awhile, I would've preferred sitting at a table. We started off with the June brioche and it was pillowy soft. Foie gras was their feature of the evening and although it was delicious, we were told it was cooked, but it was prepared as a cold dish. The crispy eggplant with tomato base was tasty. The mussels were incredibly fresh, topped with petite frites. Pasta for Rachel is named after the chef's wife and it was rich and addicting with potato filling. The only dish I didn't care for was the Fraser Valley chicken as it was a bit dry. I normally don't care for chocolate mousse but really enjoyed this one. They even added a candle for my birthday and gave me a mini ice cream cone.

    We were a table of 5 and they recommended that we choose at least 10 dishes to share. I generally…read morereally enjoyed our experience at June, but there were a few dishes that were disappointing. I loved the scallops. They were perfectly cooked. The sauce that it came with was so delicious that I literally drank it all up. It would have been perfect if they made a soup version of it. The Hamachi Crudo was also delicious. It was very fresh and tasty. The Frog Legs were surprisingly really good. They were deep fried and tossed in what I would consider to be a sweet chili sauce. The Beef Tartare and the Striploin didn't have much flavor. We upgraded the fries that came with the Striploin to truffle fries for $20. The additional $20 was a bit ridiculous, but it was nice to try. They had tons of truffle in the dip. The Trout Rilette surprised me by how good it was. It was packed with flavor and was slightly smoky. I enjoyed the Crispy Eggplant, although it was on the smaller side. It got soggy quickly, so I recommend eating it quickly. The Brussel Sprout Salade was served slightly warm. I liked the slight acidity of the dish. The Mussels were unique. The petite fries were slightly spicy. The sauce was good but could have used a touch more flavor. The Pasta for Rachel was disappointing. It didn't have much flavor. However, we really liked the Butternut squash and truffle ravioli. It was slightly sweet. I would have much preferred a double portion of this, instead of getting the Pasta for Rachel. The customer service was really great. The staff checked up on us and took the time to explain their menu. I found the restaurant to be a bit too dark for my preferences, but it was still acceptable. 4.5 stars

Every single visit has been consistently exceptional, which is rare and speaks volumes about the level of care and talent behind this place. It's also a beautiful space. The staff is incredible across the board, and the bar in particular deserves special recognition. The cocktails are absolutely fire -- beautifully crafted, balanced, creative, and memorable every single time. You can tell there is real skill and pride behind every drink that comes out. The chef is truly exceptional, with an obvious attention to every detail. The food is not only gorgeous to look at, but outstanding in flavor, execution, and presentation. Every dish feels thoughtful, elevated, and intentionally prepared. It is clear that excellence is the standard here, not the exception. The servers are attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. Service always feels warm, professional, and seamless, which only adds to the overall experience. Wildlight is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression long after you leave. It is mind-blowing in the best possible way. Run, don't walk, to this establishment. It is a true gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The menu changes constantly depending on what is fresh and in season. Take a look at my photos on this page to see the range. Last night an heirloom tomato and onion salad tasted like the last of summer exploding in our mouths. There are usually 4 - 6 different fresh pastas to choose from. We shared a halibut with tomato one and bolognese last night. These pastas are the definition of al dente. No place in Vancouver does it this well. There is an extensive wine list sure not to disappoint and make sure to start or finish with a cheese or two. The parmesan is mind blowing perfection. They don't take reservations and this outstanding restaurant is quite small and busy so be prepared for a wait. If you are going with a group larger than 2, the La Querica side does take reservations and I've found that to be an equally exceptional option. Just a little more casual on the L'ufficio side.
