Our favourite Thai place. We can’t find a dish that we don’t like. The pad sew ew is a repeat order as well as the papaya salad. Very nice staff.

Excellent Tom Yum soup. We were happy to try their sweet sour yet creamy Tom Yum soup. It was pretty good. Fried rice was our first time to try and it was good though we weren’t really fond of spices. The place is not super modern but comfy enough. Out servers were friendly. We would like to return for their soup menu.
Parking: We parked by nearby neighborhood and walked about 4-5 minutes. It was free there but street parking is on city charge meters and Hastings is a busy street.

Top pick of my family and an excellent experience! Highly recommended; we’ve been coming since before the pandemic and so so glad they’re still here. Have tried many items and all are delicious and closest to the authentic food I had in Thailand. The staff are incredible even in busy times and are attentive and responsive. We’ve come with little ones and they’ve always been so kind to adapt also with my older folks who have health/mobility issues. Can’t say enough about this place, it’s the best!! Birthdays, family events, celebrations we always come and they can accommodate larger groups especially if you can call ahead but sometimes walk in.
Vegetarian options: Tons of voice but also can adapt a dish
Dietary restrictions: Let them know and they’re great about allergies and sensitivities ie sesame dairy wheat

Ordered Green Curry, Red Curry and Pad Thai. Everything was excellent. I ordered spicy and they did not disappoint. Proper spicy.
Some authentic Thai cuisine after a year!
Delicious tom yum soup, seafood stir fry, fried rice. Red curry was okay but loved the mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream ?.
Would love to go again.

A close friend took us to this small Thai restaurant. He promised me the best Tom Yum soup, and he also said I just try their fried eggs. Well, we ended up ordering much more.
The abovementioned two are indeed the most delicious among everything we ordered. The chicken wings and the tofu are my next favorites. The boat noodles, however, didn't suit my liking as the soup is way too sweet for me.
I like their food in general. We are too full to try their mango sticky rice this time. Save it for next time!

This, disappointingly does not meet the authenticity standard one would expect at this price point. Chilli is used to mask the absence of flavour depth along with the over use of a sweetener.

I went in here one day just as an experiment… I simply wanted to try this restaurant which I've been passing by every day, to see how it was. I usually judge Thai restaurants by their green curry, and let me tell you, they have one of the best green curries in town.
The rest of the menu is good too.

From the street you wouldn't know that there is an excellent Thai restaurant here, but every dish we ordered was served up with more style than most restaurants in this price range. The service was very friendly and helpful and the food was very well done. we ordered Khao Soi with beef (very tender beef with a flavourful curry broth and egg noodles), Pad Thai (which came with deep fried wontons), and Gai Lan with crispy pork. Our last dish was Beef Shin in Red Curry, which was on special, however it was a bit on the chewy side. To their credit, when we told them it was tough, they came and apologized and asked for suggestions to make it better. Overall, we were quite pleased with our experience.

Have been here a handful of times and every time it’s exceptional. I’ve had nearly ten different dishes and each has been fantastic. The staff and service are so kind! On our last visit, we had the tiniest bit of food left over but couldn’t bare to leave it behind. We got a small to-go container and then ended up leaving it on the table ? Our server, TT, literally ran a block to chase us down and hand it off to us - SO genuinely kind! We always take visitors, it’s a fab spot!
Generous portion sizes and enjoyed everything I ordered! The mango sticky rice was also gorgeous. I’ve found a new favourite Thai restaurant.

Stopped by this Thai restaurant for a quick lunch. I remembered trying it out when it first opened 8 years ago. Lunch combos were super affordable paired with 3 pieces of fried wonton. I ordered 2 of their lunch combos with a tom yum soup and crab spring rolls. Most of the food was okay but all too sweet for my palate. It wasn't too busy for lunch.
