Wont be coming here again. Food was mid & expensive for what it is. Never experienced this kind of negative customer service. We came closer to closing time and their closing time is 9:30pm and at 9:35pm, the male waiter grabs our empty dishes and said in an aggressive tone "OK WE ARE CLOSED NOW" basically kicking us out without any warning. (And he clearly sees I'm trying to finish my drink so we can leave lol). I get that they were "closed" at 9:30, but I've never seen a waiter aggressively kick their customers out. Also, does he expect we order at 8:45pm, wait for the food and eat within 45 minutes? There was another table that was there after us (not sure if it was friends & family) but we assumed it was ok to stay if they were still there. The waiter needs to get trained on how to nicely ask/warn their customers to leave on when they are closing soon. I wished I could express his rudeness on text but it was so unbelievable. Wouldn't recommend to anyone, there are better Thai restaurants in the city.

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 haven’t been to tons of Thai restaurants, but this might take the top spot as my favourite. One of my family members who I went with was adamant that I write a review; we thought it was lovely. The yellow curry was amazing and everyone else seemed to love their dishes, too.

FINALLY found good Isaan food in Vancouver! The pork laarb, som tam and pad siew is the closest in flavour to what I used to get in Thailand. We asked for medium spicy, which was about the right amount of spice for us. Service was good and we all left super stuffed. Will definitely come back here next time I what Thai food.

Delicious meals! We go once a week. Most of salad meals(Yamwoonsen and pork salad) are delicious. I recommend pat see Ew and Pineapple fried rice. Other menus are great too. Highly recommend it.Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu and veggie option available. I am not sure about vegan options.Kid-friendliness: They provide kids plates. Most of food are shareable.
