    Chicken pad thai . Sufficient portion for a female
    Manbir R.

    On my quick work trip i had an option to eat at this place. I am a thai food lover , have worked in thai restaurant for a while and know how to cook pad-thai atleast so here i was , ordered pad thai with chicken. Service was quick n sweet people who serve. I really liked how clean n how prompt the server was. Language is a little barrier. For me a smile n saying "swadi kha" ( hello to women in thai) works well. Pad thai was quite delicious with one factor prominently noticeable n that was smell of egg in pad thai( for me it was fine but some people dont like the noodle smelling egg) . There is a selection of wine n other alcoholic / non- alcoholic drinks too It was little expensive as per the restaurant size. I mean its a small eating joint just as its name suggest (sala thai - is a enclosure for shade in thai) Anyways its the only thai place in that place so go ahead n give a shot to another dish

    This is all you get for $18.88, tiny portion of green curry and small portion rice even for a child. Not impressed.  Felt ripped off. 2 star

    This is the first time ordering from the south end for Thai. Zalathai Restaurant's food was good. Very small portions for rice and the main dish for the price. Paid $18.88 for small rice and green curry with chicken. Felt ripped off when i picked up the order which served one person. I would recommend the north end for Thai. Bigger portions and better price.

    Chicken pad Thai, medium spice! Delicious!! Got hot spice in a little container as the medium spice was more mild. So good!!

    Tasty, fast and pleasant service. I enjoy their Pad Thai and green curry. The decor is fine, but I mostly get take-away.

    A very classy dining experience. It is a tad pricey and the food is good but nothing to rave about. I could see myself returning.

    The food is so nourishing. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant set up was quite friendly…read morefor dining conversation as well as clean and tidy. 2 thumbs up. I will definitely go again.

    An absolute gem in Nanaimo!…read more upon the recommendation of a very good buddy, on my way to tofino, i passed by nanaimo for a hearty lunch in this family owned Vietnamese restaurant. Staff and owner very hospitable and welcoming! never in my wildest imagination did i expect to find excellent Vietnamese food the city of Nanaimo. this restaurant puts many Vancouver restaurants to shame. Their level of dedication to their craft is admirable and impressive. For appys...We started with fried wontons and the beef roll. My on my, the wontons were crispy-liciously goood! They were not your typical chinese fried wontons...the wrapper is paper thin and had a yellowish colour. And its because they used the spring roll wrapper to make It, making it super extra crispy. The pork filling was hot and juicy. Seasoned perfextly With a touch of cumin. One bite, and you will be in wonton heaven. the beef roll was truly a unique masterpiece. Whoever thought of putting a friend spring roll inside a salad roll and enveloping it with grill beef is a total genius!! You get a plethora of different textures and flavour profiles. With every bite, you get crunchiness of the spring roll, smokiness of the grilled beef, green leafy vegetables, and juiciness of the pork filling...all rolled into 1 roll! How could you possibly go wrong? Its a masterpiece like that of the mona lisa! We also tried the beef curry. Succulent pieces of beef slowly simmered rich thai curry sauce, Complimented by soft jasmine rice. Not a vietnamese dish, but executed with perfection. Curry was rich and robust. Quality coconut Milk and curry paste was used. Now..unto the pho!!! the ultimate test of an excellent Vietnamese restaurant is the PHO. More specifically, the PHO Broth! the PHo here is nothing short of spectacular! You can tell bec of 3 important factors. One, the aroma. Two, the clarity of the soup ( aka i how clear is it). And three, the taste! ( how deep the beef essence is!) This place exceeded expectations and passed with full flying colours! One sip of the broth, reminded me of vietnam. It was absolutely amazing! Head and shoulders above many restaurants in vancouver. Plus, no msg was used. We never felt Thirsty or craving tea. I could tell there was a lot of time, labour, and love invested into making the broth. No shortcuts! Just sheer excellence from chef. I feel very blessed to have been a patron of such fine vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a must try when in the city of Nanaimo. Service was quick and efficient. Will i repeat? As many times as i can! ;) Cheers! Happy eating!
