Top Thai restaurants in Vancouver, Canada

It’s really great! Especially pad thai and green curry are wonderfulllll

I visited this restaurant twice while vacationing in Vancouver and the dish I ordered, stir fried chicken and vegetables, was delicious. It was prepared very quickly and served with a small salad. The prices were reasonable.

The website says it closes at 9:30, but we arrived at the store around 8:40. We are no longer allowed to eat in the store and can only take out food. The waiter didn't want to serve us at all.

The food was very bad and very expensive. A small bowl of white rice costs nearly $4.
This is the worst and most expensive Thai restaurant I have ever eaten at. I came here after reading many good reviews online. Pad Thai is very sweet, can’t even eat it.

This is now my favourite Northern Thai restaurant. I was able to get decently spicy Thai food. Most places don’t make it spicy enough and if they do it’s not with fresh chili’s . The Laab with pork was what I’d call Thai spicy. Not crazy spicy but just right for me and my family. I also ordered one of the flat rice noodle dishes which was one of the lunch specials and got it Thai spicy and it was good too. What I like is that this place makes more of a northern style food like Chiangmai or nearby regions. I really want to come again. I guess the only dish that was just basic was my daughters green curry lunch special but then green curry isn’t that spicy but for some reason it wasn’t spicy at all and more sweet than anything, so she was just picking away at it. I guess because she looks more French Canadian they figured to give her the basic dish for western customers. lol. I’ll have to explain it next time. The khaki soi was decent as well. A bit sweeter than how we make it at home but my partner still liked it and liked the differences in the way we make it at home. So all in all we plan to come back again as soon as we can when we’re in the area.

Bai Bua is fantastic. The food is really tasty and the service is excellent. Honestly some of the best Thai food in Metro Vancouver.

I ordered the eggplant bowl with beef and jasmine rice. The eggplants were not as soft as I usually like them, but the dish was still delicious, especially the beef. It was mildly spicy, rating about 1/10, which suits someone like me who doesn't enjoy very spicy food. If you prefer something spicier, I'd suggest choosing a hotter option. My only complaint is about the portion size compared to the price; I expected more, which is why I'm giving it one star less. I'll definitely try other plates in future.

Ordered this on Uber eats, writing this review to boost the Google reviews, this food deserves a 5 star review. It is a huge takeout portion, came piping hot and is delicious pad thai.

This restaurant had been the most disappointing restaurant I've been to. The food was cold, my food had hair and was the saltiest dish from a restaurant I've ever tasted. The price was unjust for the quality. 27$ for cold beef and salty chicken was outrageous.

If you want ur business to still thrive, either lower the prices for the quality that you offer, or up the quality and quantity for the prices that you’ve put up.

Exactly like Bangkok. I ordered a green curry with extra vegetables and chicken, and asked for spicy. It was proper spice level, with abundant protein and vegetables – I asked for sticky rice, and they also provided that! LOVED this meal. Reminded me of living in Thailand. ^_^

Food is great, good amount and quite cheap compare to other restaurants .
You have to order food at counter first, pay then find seats.
I order somtum, beef thai salad and tomyum stir fry noodle

Tasty food but the wait is ridiculously long and it’s pretty expensive for the portions you get.

They held some tables empty for reservations but the amount of time we waited, we could have totally taken the table, finished eating and they would still be able to flip the table.

I would not recommend the papaya salad or fried rice - not very flavourful.

I would recommend the Tom yum soup, skewers and mango sticky rice dessert.

Delicious and fresh Thai food packed with spices and flavour at an affordable price. Loved the tofu and cashew nut with rice lunch special that comes with a salad. It’s not too heavy and tastes healthy.

Here is my favorite place to eat Thai food 👍
Much better than other because very right price
They charge here is good for bring friends
And order a-lot one table and share to meal with
Tiger beer 😃👍 nice place i want want to famous here because so good

Food tasted homemade. Good price for the portion. I really enjoyed my meal. I ordered pad see ew with chicken, grilled pork jowl, papaya salad with salted crab, and spring rolls. Everything was good.

Pad see ew - noodle was soft and delicious (not mushy), good seasoning, and wok flavour was really good.

Grilled pork jowl - so tender and I really like the sauce. Definitely give this a try!

Spring rolls - taste like the ones in Thailand, definitely very nostalgic! Again, the sauce was good and paired perfectly with it.

Papaya salad with salted grab - good flavour and have a good kick to it (I got spicy)

The food is so flavourful and filling. Their lunch specials are the best, def. A neighborhood gem. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Best thai iced tea in east van💗

A hidden gem in east Vancouver! Everything on the menu is bursting with flavour, and the staff are super quick, attentive, and friendly. The mango sticky rice and stir-fried fish are must order items.

Was feeling a bit hungry after pickleball and decided for an earlier dinner. My wife and I don't normally dine in this area, but like to try out new restaurants any where. This one was on the way home. Glad we stopped and our we arrived just before they opened. Every dish we had was tasty. Enjoyed every dish and would order them again. This time with our friends we ordered more common Thai dishes, but will feel comfortable ordering different ones next time. Recommend and will return. BTW this restaurant has been around for nine years and is family run. A real gem. PS Lots of free parking north of Hastings and at the Van East parking lot behind the old and now demolished London Drugs.

Great vibes and all staff are super friendly. Foods some the most authentic Thai you will find in Vancouver it's not the westernized falang Thai that all the other Thai spots serve for hype prices. And Thai basil's portions are huge and their prices are about half that of the other Thai spots aswell can't say enough good things about this place. The chef slays in the kitchen have eaten I think 6 or more meals in a row here the past few days. Pad kra pao, Laab gai, Nam tok, Som tum and Pad see ew all amazing flavors the Thai Ice coffees and teas are a great side kick with the meal, they even have Singha and Chang if you're feeling like a beer. Oh and almost forgot to mention the steamed mussels special done in coconut milk the mussels are just massive with a beautiful color to them. Thanks for holding me over til I get back to Thailand in a few weeks. Really made this falang a happy guy thanks for the welcoming vibes. See you all again soon.

Great spot with a refreshing ambiance!! Service is super friendly, food is reasonably priced and tasty! Tom Ka Gai soup is delish 😊

We ordered two noodle dishes to share from the lunch special menu which is available from 11 am to 3 pm. They both came with a deep fried appetizer which was quite nice. $14.90 each - reasonable price.

1) Pad Thai with Chicken. It was good. It was slightly too sweet.

2) Pad See Ew with Beef. It was great. The beef was flavourful and the vegetable was surprisingly well done.

I will come back next time for their rice items with fried eggs.

The atmosphere was nice. The staff were very friendly.

First time here and the food was soooo good. Had the Pad Thai, Mali Thai, & Pineapple Fried Rice. All three were tasty. This place is just a little hole in the wall, but worth dinning in.

Thailicious on Hastings and Nanaimo is run by That Away Home (they have a few other locations around town).

Dropped by for lunch in mid-November. I was surprised that they still had affordable lunch combos ($12.95) which included a freshly fried spring roll chock full of vermicelli noodles).

The Thai coconut green curry with chicken was very good. I asked for medium spice and it had a nice kick to it. The chicken and eggplant was tender and I would up finishing all of that yummy creamy curry sauce.

The pad Thai noodles had a good chew to them and the prawns had a snappy bite.

The chicken wings with Thai sweet sauce turned out really crunchy.

Honestly can't beat the value here and the food was very satisfying. If I lived closer to here, I'd be having this for lunch everyday.

I placed an order for pick up. Girl who took my order was nice. When i took the food home, 3 pad thais were soggy and broken up. I had guests over for Thai night. When I called the restaurant asking for a manager the guy goes and talks to someone and comes back and says the manager is not there. I asked when she will be his answer was "I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after". It's Friday night...and there is no mgr? I have dined in and had no problems. My original intention in calling was to merely let them know how poorly cooked 3 orders of pad thai was and how chewy my beef and eggplant was. With this answer from some guy, it has now made me irritated in every way. Businesses like this don't care what you think when dine in is so good. They just don't care.
What a shame.

I recently discovered a hidden Thai restaurant that exceeded all my expectations. Tucked away from the bustling streets, this place offers a truly authentic dining experience.
First and foremost, the service was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and gladly answered all our questions.
Now, let's talk about the food. The flavors were simply delightful. From the aromatic herbs and spices to the perfectly balanced sauces, each dish was a burst of authentic Thai flavors. The menu had a wide variety of options, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes, as they truly showcase the chef's skills.
One aspect that pleasantly surprised me was the affordability. Despite the high quality of the food and service, the prices were very reasonable. In fact, they even offer a lunch special that is worth taking advantage of. It's a great opportunity to sample their delicious cuisine without breaking the bank.
Although the restaurant may be hidden, it is definitely worth seeking out. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and reasonable prices make it a must-visit for any Thai food enthusiast. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu.

I used to order the Mali Pad Thai pretty often as I thought it was one of the best in the city. It's been a few months, but my last order I received last night was probably the worst Pad Thai I've ever had (even worse than my own attempt to make it at home).
There was so much sauce that it almost looked like soup noodles as opposed to a proper Pad Thai. The excess of sauce almost meant that the dish was inedible as it was way too salty.
The portions are also about 2/3 as much as what they used to be. Very disappointed, most likely will not be returning in the future.

Order Spicy, it’ll burn. It’s hot. It’ll hurt. So yummy. Food is amazing! Service is a bit slow. Back in Thailand they will whip that up in 1 minute, but it’s all good. We here to enjoy. Busy, busy, busy.

It wasn't the first time that we had dined here at Take Thai Home on Commercial. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the food here and had to come again for the 3rd time. I'm surprised there aren't many reviews for this restaurant. 😅

We ordered the Royal Pad Thai, Tom Yum Kung Soup, Thai Fried Rice, and the appetizer Calamari. 🍽🍜🥣🍝🍲

My boyfriend was ecstatic about the Thai fried rice and my favourite was the Tom Yum Kung Soup. There are lots of flavours and aromatics in the dishes we ordered. Great selection of items on the menu.

Thank you Take Thai Home!

Definitely my best Thai food experience in Vancouver. I was craving Thai food, and this restaurant did not disappoint me.

A small Thai restaurant on Commercial Drive that has a reasonably priced lunch menu. When we first sat down, the server gave us a menu and told us we had to order at the counter. So we ordered and paid at the counter and got our own water. Service was bringing us the plate of food and cleaning up afterwards. Lunch special is 11:30am-3:30pm. I got the pad thai with salad for $11.50 and my partner got the curry with salad and rice for $11.95. Both were good in flavour, but wasn’t the most amazing Thai food we ever ate. Prices were reasonable for the portion so it’s definitely worth a visit during lunch. It got slightly busy during lunch period but there were enough tables for everyone. Overall, good experience. Booth and table seating available. Only street parking. Cheapest lunch special is $6.95 which is super affordable in this economy.

zomg. If you're like me and have driven past this restaurant many times, do yourself a favour next time and stop for a bite to eat. The food is amazing and authentic. Reminded me of my visit to Thailand. Really good value for money, and portions are generous. Recommend starting off with some fried chicken wings or Tom Yum soup. Recommend any curry with coconut rice, or Pad Thai. So much flavour! Order some Thai ice tea as well! Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely return again to try Tom Yum noodle soup.

This is the first time that I go here since they renewed the place (not long ago) and I believe the essence of it has kinda stayed. Although it would be nice to see some dishes stay (specially vegetarian ones), I believe the food is really tasty and the drinks are awesome, as well as the people that are really friendly.

I kinda miss the murals from before though, or some colorful touch somewhere.

First time trying the restaurant and was surprised how good everything was. Very authentic and the flavors were on point. Love that you can choose the spice level. Their prices were very reasonable as well. Definitely going back when I am craving for Thai food!

Got takeout since there was a promo on Uber eats. Pad thai (N1) was great but the pad see ew noodles were quite overcooked. Flavours are good but the mushy texture wasn't great

Khob khun ka ขอบคุณค่ะ
A local, family-ran Thai eatery boasting an authentic vibrant, flavorsome and mouth-drooling menu at low-key fare off the strip.
I hauled a lunch feast of the Crispy Tofu เต้าหู้ and Pad See Ew ผัดซีอิ๊ว which was all incredibly yummy, very well seasoned with a knockout peanut satay and oyster seasoning with huge plentiful portions.
I totally dig the fact they use authentic dry Thai spices which is great, I got the spiciest level which was an extremely pleasant bit of heat to some super chowy yum noodles! This has been one of my best Thai Uber Eats experiences due to the flavor, amount of oil is a perfect amount for takeout.
Support local businesses!

Khob khun ka ขอบคุณค่ะ
An extremely hearty, huge portion of Pad See Ew ผัดซีอิ๊ว which is always a good time.. this was a very large portion of noodles and my takeout container was very heavy and dense as a result.
Unfortunately this was not the most exciting flavor, lacking depth of strong Oyster sauce and Thai seasoning, but pretty yummy overall at low fare. The noodles were not authentic wide rice noodles that are traditionally served with Pad See Ew ผัดซีอิ๊ว and they were quite moist and congealed. I got the 'hottest/spiciest' option of level 5 which was a letdown in terms of any kind of heat and would have loved some fresh Thai Birdseye chillis in there.
A good strong menu with plenty of Thai classics suitable for veggies with plenty of Tofu options.
Support local businesses!

Finally REAL Thai food in Vancouver! Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious and authentic. Friendly staff. Clean washroom.

Highly recommend: Crispy chicken wings, Grilled pork jowl with sticky rice.

Rare-find dish: Swimming Rama (พระรามลงสรง)

Pre-order dish: Thai boat noodle soup

First time trying Thailicious. We really enjoyed their smoked duck salad which was a unique find for Thai; duck breast had a lovely smokey flavour was tender and juicy. Pineapple curry was plentiful and had chunks of fresh pineapple. Good portions and good gradation in spice level (2 was mild, 3 was moderate spice, 4 was very spicy but still flavourful). Will definitely get takeout again from here!

Awesome food and great prices too! Got take out from this cute place (they have dine in as well), ordered online, super easy. Loved that the auto tip is set at 10% and not 15 or 18 like other restaurants.

Ordered the green curry for 2, pork jowl (the dipping sauce was amazing 🤤🤤) and pad thai. Everything was delicious. You can tell they use quality ingredients in their dishes. Super friendly staff as well.

Ordered Pad Kee Mao, Thai custard with sweet sticky rice, and Thai iced tea through DoorDash. The order was completed very quickly. There were clear markings inside the restaurant with a limited capacity for safe pick up. Would definitely order again!

I went back to try the pineapple fried rice with tofu, and it was delicious! Great flavour. I will certainly order this dish again.

Very delicious food. Very good curry dishes with just the right amount of spiciness and goes well with a bowl of rice. The portion was a good size for the price. The staff were friendly and service were quick. Although a better ventilating system would make this experience even better. The nonstop incoming traffic showed the popularity of their food.
