Reviews


Little Greek restaurant at Hastings mainly for takeaway, yet they have a table that can host a group of 6-8 people with warm service. We ordered different souvlaki and we loved them! It's one of the best Greek food around the neighborhood. Highly recommended!


Amazing Greek food, this is the place when you re craving Mediterranean flavour! Delicious lamb and generous portions for a good price. Will defined be coming back again!


My mom ordered from this place. This is truly Burnabys freshest Greek food. Super duper alacuper fresh. Will be back and will be bring the BOYZ. Rice is fresh l, Lamb is tender and flavourful, Taziki is thicc creamy and fresh. The pita bread taste good too. Need to try the KALAMARI NEXT 🦑


Got the Souvlaki plate to go. The food is freshly cooked upon order. The chicken was well seasoned, potatoes perfectly cooked and seasoned and the pita and salad were delicious too. Generous feta topping on the salad. Rice was the standard Greek rice typically served but the flavours were also well balanced. There are a few tables if you want to sit down and eat, but looks more like order first style. The socrates quotes and wall decor was a cute touch. I found this place on google since I was craving Greek food, and I must say the high rating is well deserved! I’ll definitely come here again next time I’m craving Greek food 🥗🍖


The portion is pretty big. Delicious food and so many options to choose from! I loved dining in!

The food was great here! It was delicious and was very full after the meal. Their green curry was lovely and would order it again. My preference for pad Thai is that it would not be as sweet, but the noodles were cooked perfectly and the overall taste was really good. Highly recommend checking it out.
Lovely small family business, would check them out again.

What a delightful group of people that work at this excellent restaurant. Each time I come I enjoy the food even more than the last. Again the girls knock it out of the park with service and the food was so yummy! Just a suggestion, but omgoodness, try their deserts. Mmmm Mmm!

this place is a rip off. ordered a chicken pad thai and the box it came in was so tiny. it was unbelievable. the reviews are correct. this place sucks.
bland noodles. small portion and over priced. never again.

I have never eaten number 4 as poorly made as them chicken was not cooked. Got the fried rice it was like they are just of the name and nothing else rice were like as it is. Veggies were not cooked as well. And the chicken i ate was the worse chicken i have ever tried. My stomach is upset since i ate that food they barely took 2 min cook it i mean we can say not cooking just giving as it is. I would never go to this location if you don’t wanna waste your money your time your health


Quality has gone downhill over the years and prices have gone up. Portions are still decent but the pad Thai chicken I got today had undercooked noodles that were hard, and sauce was lukewarm. Probably was not fried long enough on the wok. I asked for medium spicy and I didn't see any chili flakes, it was mild at best.








Amazing experience at my first time trying Greek cuisine. I arrived there almost at the end of the shift but the team didn’t esitated to take my order and make it as fast as possible. The food was delicious, spectacular and it’s a huge amount of food. I ordered a lamb shoulder roasted which was unbelievable tender and juicy and it came with 2 slices of a delicious fluffy bread. The ambient is cozy, with inside and outside tables and some quotes of Socrates on the wall. Worth the experience!

I ordered the "beef" tom yum. The meat was horrible. Very chewy that I couldn't even break it down to swallow. The taste of the meat was off. I am expecting diarrhea soon. The noodles were fine...the tom yum broth was bearable...it had more bean sprouts than noodles. I didn't finish the so called meat..just yuck. What a rip off


Tastes very different, and not in a good way. Don't know what happened to this franchise but across the board, it is no longer reliable. The sauces tastes completely wrong and there is no 'wok hey' flavour imparted from the wok. Sad...


I don't know why this place has a low rating. I was there for the second time today. Ordered the fried rice with shrimp. It was amazing again🤤.


Easy 10/10 experience. I had the roast lamb and my boyfriend had the half chicken. Firstly the service was so sweet and pleasant. I thought the prices were on the higher end but the portions were HUGE and made it actually a great value. For us it is easily 2 meals in one each. Food quality was amazing, everything cooked correctly, flavor was perfect. Would recommend this to everyone





I have been wanting to try this place out for along time and had a Greek craving for my lunch today so I decided to try for take out. The food was great, I had a 1/2 roasted chicken meal with the rice, potatoes and Greek salad and it was very delicious and filling.
The portions are very fair for the price and I was quite happy to see everything was organised and in separate containers for my take away order which really made me happy. I have to say any place with an open kitchen where you can see inside the kitchen and how they operate is a good telling sign that the place has good food and a great atmosphere.
Will try different dishes for next time, was pleasantly happy with my order!

They are very nice and food is delicious very cute location good wifi too




I ordered the tofu pad see ew. The portion was very generous but the taste was disappointing . Very salty, but the gross part is the bunch of burnt ingredients I got. Burned eggs, some of the tofu was burnt. It is my first visit here, so maybe it’s just my bad luck ☹️

Everything was good except the price. I have ordered Thai food all over the lower mainland and have never been charged $3.50 for rice when I order an entree. $17.50 for a yellow curry chicken entree was expensive enough only to get an additional $3.50 added for rice. Won’t be back




This is my family’s favourite place for Thai food. Their service is amazing. Their curry dishes and soups are great. There is free parking at the back.


Had the vegetarian Pad Thai ($14) today. The taste was okay but the whole platter had literally two pieces of tofu in it. Could've given 3 stars if the price had been $8. Not worth it.


I ordered thai fried rice with battered beef terrible beef I was told it's crispy so in my mind it's like chicken strips but when served it's so hard if you have false teeth it will surely be broken. Don't ever order battered beef or chicken surely it will ruined your appetite. And it's expensive $15.00 .




Came across this unassuming Greek food place from the front at first, but they serve some of the tastiest Greek meals in the city.
The place overall consists mostly of a very large kitchen in the back. They have some dine-in seatings but very limited, which makes me think maybe they serve more take-outs and catering. We showed up at around 8PM on a Saturday evening. There's some people coming by to pick up their orders but overall the place was very quiet. They have some small tables and chairs outside, only to sit 2 people each. But since there's no one there, we opted to enjoy our meals outside to soak up some rare Vancouver evening sun.
Price is fair, portion is good, every single component of our souvlaki meals is seasoned to perfection and the soft pita bread came warm, toasted with slight crispiness outside but fluffy inside and oh, so garlicky! It's heaven.
If you're confused as to why there's no menu inside, there's a large QR code you can scan on the window as you walk through the door to see their digital menu. We'll definitely come back again.

The food was good and clean place. The waiter was very nice and helpful. The only issue was there were not enough protein in the dishes. The beef pad Thai had couple of pieces of beef as well as the Tom Kha soup with chicken.There were more mushrooms than chicken . The fried rice had limited ground chicken in it. The cook really counted the amount of beef or chicken in those dishes. I'm not sure if I'll go back again unless they add more protein to their dishes.


I replied on your form same day and no one has replied to me yet. As a restaurant owner myself this was rather disappointing.
There was hardly any veggies, the sauce tasted terrible and wasn't hot/spicy. The rice was cold and stuck together you'd need a knife to cut it. The meat was precooked, dry and tough. Zero care giving during the prep.

Nice decor. Service was good and the Free parking behind the restaurant was convenient and appreciated. We went for dinner and ordered soup, chicken satay, mango salad, chicken wings, green curry, and Pad Thai.
The Pad Thai and Green curry were flavorful. However I was confused that the curry didn’t come with any rice so we had to place a separate order for the rice which was charged on our bill. The appetizers except for the soup were average. I would recommend ordering the entrees over the appetizers.

Ordered pad see ew for my lunch, and I was so disappointed by what I got. The beef has a smell on it, and it is not thoroughly cooked. Was not able to finish everything, even though i tried to, so as to not waste my money. But I just cant. Please fix thissssss 😣😣😣😣



I’ve ordered from Thai Chef before and been happy and tonight I was mostly happy but slightly disappointed. I do tend to order the same thing so I can’t speak to how good every item on the menu is. I ordered through skip the dishes tonight- I ordered the yellow chicken curry and paid extra for additional veggies. $4.50 is a lot extra but it was worth it. I also ordered a side of coconut rice and 2 spring rolls. I asked for my curry to be mild spice which was perfect- it still had a tiny bit of kick to it. However, aside from the spice the flavours were quite bland. The coconut rice isn’t very coconut-y so I’ll order regular rice next time (it’s cheaper). I ordered a small size of rice and it was quite a lot- I easily had enough food for 2 meals. Spring rolls were also good and still crispy by the time I got my order, but a little bit more sauce would have been good.


The worst Thai Tom Yum Noddle Soup I have ever ordered. The amount of soup is significantly less, not even half a bowl fulfilling the noodle. Definitely out of my list from now on.



Food seemed more chinese than thai. Shrimps were extremely dry. Server was very efficient but seemed to be keen to get out of there for the night. Overall ok but not great. Maybe we chose the wrong things on the menu.


Ordered the 3G, Red curry with breaded chicken.
With a drink, came to around $18 after tax.
~.
Gigantic portion! But so tasteless and really awful textures. I expect mall food to be a shadow of the cuisine it's trying to be but this was beyond expectation and not in a good way.
The curry had next to no flavour; needed some kind of salt or acid badly. The texture of the curry sauce was also super thick and starchy. Veggies were cooked well but the chicken was unrecognizable.
What I got was a pile of hard crunchy pellets mixed into the curry. If there was chicken in them it wasn't recognizable; I picked most of them out, they were so gross. Do not recommend.

beef smells bad!! and it ruined the entire pat thai. No green onion or bean sprout(maybe very little, but hardly noticed). Just use 3-4 pieces of good quality beef slices, please. Beef needs to be seasoned. This is the worst Pad Thai I have ever had...I would not care about the quantity. only good thing was the young guy at the front was friendly...sad for the new place. Not even 1 star food for me.


I asked for thai fried rice without tomatoes but I got with tomatoes.
And ordered 2 Tom Yom soups with x spicy, I did received without soup and not what I've ordered. Full of noodles, no salt, no soup at all. Worst service, worse management. Waste of money.

It’s not a typical Thai express you would expect. Tasteless and super oily. The food there is quite expensive for the portion. I should check the review before I ordered it. General Thai beef that I couldn’t finish. I usually not like give bad review, but this location I would not recommend at all. I saw the owner was replying everyone’s review. However, I think a good restaurant should care their food first then reply people by word. Action is more important than letter.


I had a great experience here at Thai Chef. The food was great! I had the pad Thai lunch special. The flavors and textures of the noodles were amazing! They were cut into short pieces so that it is easier for the diners to eat. And the little salad and crunchy hot spring roll made it even better. Mark, the owner was friendly and he made my waiting time enjoyable. I am glad that I found this place today and will definitely come back.



This place used to be good, but not anymore. I ordered the basil fried rice and it tasted like soup with all the oil in it. Tilting the plate creates a puddle of grease at the bottom. God knows how much oil I've eaten. Felt disgusted after eating. Picture included.




first time coming here and the server was eager to help. she recommended the traditional thai noodles so i went with it. on top of that, they gave me a complementary side dish which was greatly appreciated. tasty food and friendly environment.






Thai Chef Casual Cuisine is one of the few Thai restaurants along the North Road corridor between Burnaby and Coquitlam. That probably partly explains why this place was so busy when I visited for lunch on a weekday.
The other reason is probably the value of their lunch specials. I have a fondness for green curry so I stuck with an order of Green Curry Chicken ($10 for the lunch special) which comes with rice, green salad, and a spring roll. The spring roll was fried up with a nice crispness to the wrapper and had a hot, tightly wrapped filling inside.
The curry was actually pretty good with a nice creaminess from the coconut milk and a moderate heat from the green curry paste that gradually builds over time. In addition to the chicken, the curry had slices of eggplant, yellow and red peppers, and basil. This stuff goes perfect with a bowl of rice to sop it up with.
Like the crisp spring roll, the seating here is fairly tightly packed and service seemed rushed (but that’s to be expected with how busy they were). I returned a couple of weeks later and found that it wasn’t as busy (but service was just as curt). This time, I picked the Red Curry Beef ($10 lunch special). Since it wasn’t as busy, the food came out rather quick and it was both pleasing and filling. The red curry was creamy but not overly spicy and there was a plentiful amount of bamboo shoots that accompanied the strips of beef, bell peppers, and basil.
On a subsequent visit, I tried their Pad Thai with Chicken. Again, another solid offering… the noodles have a nice, subtle tang and were pleasantly toothsome. The dish was a good portion size for lunch and came with bean sprouts, firm tofu, egg, and green onions.
If you’re looking for something a bit different than your usual curry item, you might try their Spicy Basil Beef ($11). Like all of their other lunch specials, this comes out really quick. There’s a nice amount of heat from the chili peppers in this dish.
I’m not usually a big fan of yellow curry… guess I’m too used to the typical Chinese yellow curry which tends to be on the flavourless side. I figured I might as well try it here since it was on the lunch menu. The Yellow Curry Chicken ($11) here had a pleasantly moderate level of spiciness in the curry sauce. It’s a fairly simple take on yellow curry with just onions, large chunks of potatoes, and topped with fried shallots. As with their other curry dishes, you’ll find yourself sopping up all of that curry sauce with your rice.
After a number of visits here, the thing to know about this place is that there’s not many surprises… each visit was pretty much exactly like the previous visit – very utilitarian (which can put some people off if they’re looking for more service). Overall, the food’s pretty good for the value.

This is probably the best thai place around burquitlam! Every time we come here we never get disappointed (except the wait time and the service attitude)
Their food is fast and delicious. The lunch menu is why this place is so popular. Any entree plus a salad and thai spring roll for only $10!!
You also have to take in mind that there is only one waitress and one cook as well as one dish washer. It's amazing, how she remembers all the info. She has great memory.
