Best Thai restaurant in Vancouver?
 
Which are the best, most authentic places? :D

I used to like O Thai on Broadway since they had a great atmosphere with resonable prices and great food. Recently they revamped their menu and it's half the size with lots of fusion dishes and no longer has that traditional touch.

Reposting from other thread: a solid Thai restaurant in Yaletown is Simply Thai. It's a small restaurant, but has great service and more upscale white tablecloth atmosphere. The food is fantastic and more of a traditional Thai menu with many choices.

Cho Muang: steamed flower dumplings stuffed with minced chicken, onion, and spices.

Gaeng Ped Bped Yang: BBQ duck in red curry with coconut milk, banboo shoots, peppers, tomato, pineapple.

Some sort of fish and green beans in bean paste sauce.

Baan Wasana on W. 41st Ave in Kerrisdale has an awesome authentic pad thai

yummm at the pad Thai

I like sala thai - cambie location.

+1 for Sala Thai, I've had better food experiences at the Burrard one than the Cambie one, but I like the seating on Cambie better.

I really like Wimaan on Broadway right between Spruce and Oak.

I would agree that if you are more interested in "authentic" thai, Sala Thai (Burrard) is closer to what you want. The decor and presentation of the food appears to be more traditional than other thai restaurants around Vancouver. I can't say it's actually authentic since I've never been to Thailand.

I have not visited the Cambie location.

I liked Green Basil in Burnaby. =)

racerman88 05-04-2009 09:21 PM

Durrann1984 05-04-2009 10:00 PM

Tropika on Cambie is pretty good

Meowjin 05-05-2009 01:46 AM

that isn't thai, that's malysian/singaporean.

i heard thai house in richmond isn't bad, but i have yet to try it.

haha.. i was about to recommend it too..
been there twice two years ago, and I was not dissapointed. However, I'm not sure about now since I haven't been there for a long time.

and get the rice in the pineapple shell. It's delicious.

When my bf and I have a sudden craving for Thai food at 2 in the morning, we always hit 24/7 Thai on Broadway (at Oak). Their pad thai and basil fried rice are not bad.

skholla 05-07-2009 06:37 PM

Urban Thai Bistro in Yaletown gets my vote. The twist that they put on their curries takes them to another level!!!

Meowjin 05-07-2009 07:48 PM

i like simply thai... i think urban thai is gross.

Thai food 24 hours a day??? OMG I must try this place soon for late night munchies...

ebee 05-09-2009 12:56 AM

i like chao phraya on cambie

azncreationz 05-16-2009 04:34 PM

Thai Cafe on Hastings in Burnaby.. good stuff!
Also, Lhy Thai on Edmonds...

IMASA 05-17-2009 10:18 AM

I'm not really into Thai, but there is a place near my work that I enjoy. Thai Basil on the corner of Davie and Thurlow. It's diagonally across from the Starbucks and across the street from Denny's. It's a really small place, one of those hole in the wall kinda joints.

the food just sounds awesome!

My Thai in Langley. I'm not a Thai food fan, but I know plenty of people that love it. The owner is some ex-chef of nobility over there. I've no idea what it is, but it sounds impressive. :lol

Nice, I love Vijs and Rangoli, I can't wait to try Maenams twist on Thai food.

Never been to Simply Thai but I heard that it is good, Sala Thai seemed mediocre to me, the Thai House is okay and to me is a baseline. Urban Thai Bistro is owned by the Thai House, they took the standard Thai House curries and made them exciting and exploding with flavor... Mucho lemon grass in the yellow curry and young coconut in the red curry... Yummmm, how can you not like that?
