We visited Thailand forty years ago and fell in love with Thai food. In recent years, the quality of Thai food available in Vancouver has improved dramatically. Sen Pad Thai was one of our go to spots for reasonably priced, high quality Thai food. However, over the past year the quality of food that is being turned out at Sen Pad has taken a noticeable turn for the worst. On our most recent visit, we ordered roti with peanut sauce and Pad Thai. The roti was greasy and under cooked, the peanut sauce was bland, and the Pad Thai was slimy, wet and uninspired. Sadly, we will now need to make different choices for lunch when visiting Granville island.

We had an amazing lunch at Sen Pad Thai located inside Granville Island. We ordered three servings of the crispy pork/+ Thai BbQ pork ribs with boiled egg and plain rice, plus a Khao Pad fried rice topped with crispy pork belly. Overall, every dish we ordered was a hit. Each serving was priced at $22, with generous portion. Even my kids, who are usually picky eaters, gave it a thumbs up.
The lady at the counter was really friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The food tastes genuinely authentic, and while the prices are a bit higher than other spots around, it’s understandable because of the location.
A nice bonus is that this stall is part of Chef Angus An’s group, the chef behind Maenam, which is recognized in the Michelin Guide. Knowing that gives the whole vibe a “street-style meets Michelin-approved” feel.
Overall, very satisfied with the food, service, and quality. Definitely worth a visit if you’re on Granville Island and if you want a quick serve, Michelin kinda dining experience.

The No. 6 Pad Siew Beef came out steaming hot. The noodles were soft, yet had that signature al dente chew. The dish had a wonderful aromatic smell. The vegetables and meat were tender. Pricey, but tasty.

Tried the shrimp pad Thai. Seasoning was good, but noodles soggy and no wok flavor. Grossly overpriced. Would not recommend.

We ordered the pad Thai then set right by the booth waiting for it to come up. After 10 minutes we went to check and it was sitting on the counter. Overall probably the worst pad Thai I’ve ever had - slimy, wet and 4 shrimp. To make things even worse after we ate it (I was starving) I got a terrible stomach ache. Avoid!!

I love your pad Thai!! I always order it when visiting Grandville. However, I am a bit disappointed as I can't choose the spiciness level anymore. They gave me sauce on the side for spiciness but not spicy enough. :(

Just sensational Thai. They make the most delicious Pad See Ew I’ve ever had. Been coming quite a few time, but never written a review. Went last week and it is still exceptional. Highly recommendable

Pad thai was very flavorful and has a perfect chewy texture. The crispy pork meat was hard to chew.

I always get the pad see ew here but noticed today it was less wok hei and more wet/ saucey than usual. Still my fav place for Thai food :)
Sell the worst and least of the remaining items, reducing the quantity by at least 40%. Don't you feel embarrassed when asking about the price ？

Amazing food! Super crispy belly pork! Recommend, staff super friendly!
Great food and service. Had an issue with my order initially but staff promptly resolved it.
Best roasted pork belly! Must tried. Their roti is also yummy, freshly cooked upon ordering. Very satisfying!
