Not so big Thai gig.
The colorful chairs and table catches my attention,very neat and very attractive.
Another place that you need to find a street parking.
Service is excellent our server is female and a bilingual,she is very friendly she laugh out loud when i say"please put 10 chilis in my order"
Busy dinner time when we came so it takes a while for our foods to be served.
Quality of the dishes is excellent,this place can surely rival other place that serves similar dishes.
We had beef and chicken,the aroma of the food made me more hungry,my first bite was really good,the blending of flavors in my dish is superb,meat so tender and veggies were half-cooked just the way i like it.
Huge serving that i need to bring home almost half of it.
Pricing is reasonable actually i can say that money is worth in this restaurant.Soda is by cans not the pop fountain one.
Interior design is Asian inspired,wifi is powered by shaw and forsome reason it doesnt work on my phone.Because of my yummy meal i cant remember if they have TV.
A place that accept credit and debit cards plus cash.
Good for Family and kids friendly.
I recommend this place to both locals and visitors,another pride for Vancouver "eats"
I cant wait for my return i am wishing to try all of their dishes,who knows a 4 star can be a 5 star.
2 thumbs up..keep up the good work guys -

Surprisingly good little Thai joint in a strip mall. Don't let the decor fool you. Though it appears more like a boba tea establishment with all the bright lights and pastel colors. They do, at least based on my one visit serve some legit food.
Last Saturday my buddy Dave and I popped in after being a little disappointed at some very bland fish and chips in Gastown earlier in the day. I ordered my go to when eating at a new Thai place. Gang gai which is Thai red curry w chicken (and yes in white but speak and read Thai and do so to eliminate the white gig versus Asian heat scale of 1-5 stars which can differ greatly depending on your appearance and how you order). Dave for Pad Thai and we shared some Tom kah gai soup to start.
The soup was excellent while not having too much coconut milk which allowed the tamarind and fish sauce to pop. The Thai bird chilies were red and ripe and had been toasted quickly to scorch them prior to adding to the soup (something more places should do. Try it at home and you'll see. The quick blast in a dry wok brings the oils in the chilies forward and allows them to shine!). The galangal and tuneric were in large enough pieces to avoid swallowing chunks of either which was also a very nice touch.
My gang gai arrived w a Thai iced tea smoothie (shaved ice so kind of like a tea slurpie. Genius!) and holy cow. The thickness of the curry gave away and I confirmed that they made their own red, green, and Penang curry pastes in house. Very uncommon and enviable to say the least.
A very pleasant surprise and as their location is very close to my friends house a place we will go to again for certain.
The only draw back is the menu does seem targeted to the lunch crowd as there are very few choices (I want to say maybe 9 total?) so you're not going to find a lot of variety. But combined w the quality of the kitchen and the value (they could easily charge $3-4 more per entree and I wouldn't blink!). I can see them succeeding for years to come.
Oh! I nearly forgot. Our server. A very nice Thai man in his what I would guess was early twenties was the epitome of an excellent server even though he was the entire front of house at the time we came in. Very friendly. Checked back the perfect number of times and made an excellent impression. Kudos! -

Back here again after their renovation, and loving the food nonetheless! They updated their furnishings inside, so that you no longer see or really hear them making the food after you order. They also added in a new(?) drinks and dessert menu and serve breakfast in the mornings!
Almost every table has a plant on it, be it a pathos or a succulent, and there is now more places to sit at. It still benefits greatly from the natural light from their large windows, which really adds to the atmosphere.
But let's talk about the food! The food is delicious as always, but this time they've added a salad to their dishes. For their lunch specials, food is priced slightly cheaper and comes with an appetizer (spring roll!!) and the salad on a separate dish. For dinner, they have the salad together with the ordered dish. The salad is very fresh and the dressing for it is phenomenal. Rather than croutons, they have this nice fried noodles(?) of sorts which adds a nice texture.
Their pad Thai is delicious as always, with a very nice portion size, and I must say this is my go-to! They also have a delicious Thai fried rice that I default to a lot too. It always comes piping hot and never over or undercooked. The service is phenomenal as well, they'll fill your water periodically when it goes low and provided my partner and I shared plates without us asking. I always feel so welcomed here, so I hope that you feel how nice it is when you visit! :) -
