“Great tasting, fresh food including salads, smoothies and bowls, conveniently located in the Quay Market, North Vancouver. Vegan friendly menu, and knowledgeable staff ready to help. My favourite is the sticky sesame rice with mango! 🥭“

“one of my favorite take aways. Many times. Pad Thai.“

“Food is absolutely amazing and tasty however very pricey for their small portions, especially the green curry halibut. My additional take out order, My husband thought it was small leftover and not a new order. Great service!“

“I ordered the takeout combo for two people from Fantuan. The food was tasty, and the portion was generous and more than enough for two.

The pickup process was smooth and convenient, with no issues.

Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place.“

“Great service. Great Food. My go to place for Thai food!“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“I really like their pad Thai! Good portion! Authentic flavour, sweet with lots of tamarind in it. Good wok taste as well. The only thing is they use green onion in lieu of chives, and they don’t give enough fresh bean sprout on the side.

Their papaya salad is disappointing. Medium spicy is barely spicy at all, more like mild. They also use bottle lime and you can taste it! The overall flavour is just not there. Portion is also quite small (just a bunch of lettuce underneath to increase the volume).

I didn’t get it this time but I remember loving their spring rolls because it tasted just like in Thailand!“

“Great service. Great Food. My go to place for Thai food!“

“Great service. Great Food. My go to place for Thai food!“

“Great khao soi that brought back memories of Chiang Mai. Good food and authentic Northern Thai flavours. The walk through Chinatown can be uncomfortable due to visible open drug use, which may deter some visitors, but the food is worth the trip.“

“First of all, the food we ordered was delicious, but that’s not what I want to talk about today!

I was there with a large group of friends, and while carrying a dessert dish, I accidentally bumped into a pillar I didn’t see. The dish fell and the dessert went all over the floor. I was so embarrassed and worried that I had caused a big inconvenience.

Within seconds, a waitress rushed over, told me not to worry, and made me feel completely comfortable. The staff cleaned everything up so quickly and brought us a fresh dessert within minutes.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the waitress’s name, but I truly hope she gets recognized. The customer service here is next level! ❤“

“Excellent food here! I got the combo special that includes spring roll, salad, soup and drink. I love that they have sparkling water and not just soda. Delicious pad kee mao! I got medium spicy and it was perfect. Highly recommend.

(Edit to my review). I went back two weeks later. I can’t stop thinking about the delicious pad kee mao. Every time I eat it, the moment I’m finished I can’t wait to eat it again. Its siren song calls out to me. I will be back for more.. (p.s. they are open Sunday which is really nice as a lot of the other places here close).“

“best thai reataurant in the town“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Hello everyone, I'm Thai and I dined with my wife at this restaurant on April 21, 2019, did you know? it makes me miss home👍🙏🙏🙏“

“Really tasty food and great staff! Enjoyed an “off menu” item compliments of the chef! Top notch!!“

“Absolutely delicious… service with a smile and very quick! Recommend to everyone!“

“Amazing service wonderful food 10 out of 10 no notes some of the best Thai fried rice I have ever had in my life. I also had the stirfry red curry with the chicken and the shrimp. I could’ve got it with tofu, but I didn’t and then I also actually had some of the pad Thai chicken as well. I didn’t wanna get that one with shrimp and then I had some ground peanuts on the side that was so nice. It was fast. It was hot and it was delicious 10 out of 10 could not recommend the space enough“

“This place slaps! hard! took me right back to Thailand! 11/10 recommend.“

“VERY GOOD FOOD AND VERY CHEERFUL STAFF 👌🏽🤍“

“Incredibly authentic and delicious thai food. We decided to check it out today and tried the pad thai, the krapow and the sticky rice and everything was amazing. I’ve yet to have any thai food taste so similar to Thailand. The service was amazing and our server was very friendly, this is a must try spot if you love Thai food!“

“Yummy Thai food & good service.“

“Hands down one of the best Thai spots in Vancouver (and let's be honest, there are a lot of disappointing ones here). The flavors overall were incredibly tasty and authentic!

The Hits: The Som Tum (papaya salad) was spot-on, perfectly seasoned and balanced. The Pad Thai was right on point, and the Green Curry with sticky rice was absolute perfection—super flavorful!

The Spice Level: We ordered medium spicy, but it really wasn't spicy at all—they definitely dial it down for the local palate here. If you want a real kick like authentic Thai food in Thailand, you should definitely order hot or extra spicy. If you can't handle spice, mild or non-spicy will suit you fine.

The Ok: The Sao Khoi was good, though it felt like it was missing a secondary balancing flavor.

The Miss: The major letdown was the Crying Tiger Beef. It was honestly terrible—zero smoky flavor and completely chewy. I could literally make a better version blindfolded.

Pro Tip on Timing: Do not go at dinner on a weekday unless you want to wait 30–40 minutes outside. They really need to implement an online waitlist system like other busy spots. Go for lunch instead—we got seated immediately! Overall, 4/5 stars.“

“Spice is real if you ask for it, and the vegetarian plates are marked instead of being an afterthought. We started with spring rolls and green papaya salad, then chicken pad Thai and green curry with rice. Curry had coconut and heat without turning into paste. Service was steady for a two-person table.“

“Generous portion, amazing service, best combination of Vietnamese and Thai cuisine“

“Good quality Great flavour Casual We were early for dinner service was fast Average 25 per person including entree and appetizer no drinks“

“A bit of a later post as we visited in October and they had just opened recently. So take that with a grain of salt when reading this.

This little shop is located in Knight Street (near Kingsway). It was kinda chilly inside even with the space heaters. The wooden chairs weren't that comfortable.

We ordered the Pad Thai ($19 add shrimp +$2),
Green Curry Chicken ($18) which was fairly spicy. I really liked the small green eggplants that came in the curry. Ordered the Jasmine Rice ($3) which is really necessary for curry.

We decided to try the Silom Platter ($27) so we could try a little bit of everything. It came with grilled chicken wings, grilled pork jowl, pork balls, papaya salad (they did tell us when we ordered that it would take about 25 mins to grill the food). Good flavors.

We also ordered the Roti ($8) which came with curry dipping sauce. I think they forgot our order because the dish didn't come out and I had to ask for it after finishing most of our meal already. The roti is very light and airy and crispy. Unlike other roti that we've had in the past at other places, there were no layers to make the roti fluffy inside but I still think this dish was good.

Could use some refinement on service as we had to ask for our water to be refilled and they forgot one of our disheseven though there was only 1 other table when we visited. Note that we visited a couple of months ago so things may have changed.

UPDATE - Aug 2026: It's been about a year since we last visited and I have to say this place is better than I remembered. I think the menu has changed a bit.

We had the Pad Ka Pao Moo Grob ($23.5) which is stir-fried crispy pork belly with chili, Thai holy basil, and a fried egg over rice. There was a nice crispness to the pork and the sauce was very savory.

The Green Curry Chicken ($19) with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and Thai eggplant had a nice heat level and was creamy. Meanwhile, the Crispy Shrimp Pancakes ($13.5) were also quite crispy and had a shrimp and pork filling mixed with herbs.

We also wound up ordering the Thai Iced Tea ($6) and appropriately named Green Soda ($6).“

“Nice food and very friendly service“

“Kor Moo Yang tastes better than the ones I had in Thailand. Squid also tastes good!
It's the best one I've ever had.
Come for dinner instead of lunch!

Gai Yang tastes sweet with a scent of pepper, but It's not my cup of tea.

I recommend eating at the restaurant because Sawasdee's packaging is still plastic not paper! I hope they switch to paper packaging soon!“

“Ordered their boat noodle with pork. Staff recommended adding one spoonful of chilly vinegar sauce. Its spiciness and tanginess would enhance the flavour of the soup base.

Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Cards and cash are accepted .“

“My kid and I were in the area today because there was a store we wanted to check out. Of course, it was closed. So we ended up wandering a bit and stumbled across Papaya Hut, figured why not, and went in for lunch.

We were invited to seat ourselves, and a friendly woman came over pretty quickly with menus and water, which I was genuinely grateful for because it was a scorcher outside. I'm in my fifties, so between the heat, the walk over, and a little help from menopause, I was fanning myself like crazy even with the AC running. I always carry a little handheld fan for exactly this reason, and when she came back to take our order, she complimented me on it, which was such a sweet, unexpected touch.

I got the green beans, and my kid ordered the spring rolls since they weren't all that hungry. The food came out fast, faster than I expected, and it looked really good. I eat a lot of green beans, they're probably my favorite dish overall, and these were excellent. They came with rice and a spring roll on the side, and honestly both were so good I couldn't tell you which I liked more.

We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. Good food, kind service, and a happy accident of a lunch stop.“

“Yo this restaurant is my fave the taste was just my liking and I was ordering for the first time. I’d like to eat here again. Mood. This place is a mood I gotta share this.“

“I like the tomato soup with a melted cheese slice🥰🥰🥰, and none spicy satey soup

2026/ 08/31
They also have dry pot (香锅) now, which is such a nice addition. Definitely coming back to try it next next next time! 🥰“

“A great addition to Lonsdale Quay! Highly recommend their bowls and salads!“

“Fresh, fragrant and delicious Thai take out on Granville Island“

“A nice small well run Thai food place. I come here for lunch from time to time with work colleagues and the service and atmosphere is nice and wholesome. We get accommodated even when we are as many as 10 people. The food is always tasty with nice Thai flavours. The best part of eating here is the hospitality of the hostess. She is always polite smiling and attentive. Thank you.“

“Food was very authentic. Was told they only had one wok so our meals came out staggered. We were seven folks but that was fine. Service was good and prices reasonable. I would recommend this place.“

“Authentic and tasty Burmese food“

“Delicious food and a great place for a quick bite! Thank you Thai new west!!!“

“one of my favorite take aways. Many times. Pad Thai.“

“one of my favorite take aways. Many times. Pad Thai.“

“My first time trying this place! I got the chicken teriyaki with thick noodles, and I must say, it was pretty good. The noodles were still hot when I got home, which was a nice bonus. The guy at the front desk during the night was also really friendly :)“

“Been here twice now, and the food has been consistently great both times. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for more than what was served. It’s a family-owned, no-BS kind of restaurant that just focuses on making good food. The red curry is amazing, the pad Thai is just as good, and the mango coconut sticky rice is absolutely awesome.“
