    the dining area
    Carolyn L.

    We were in maple ridge area and wanted some Thai food. Google map showed this location so we decided to try it instead of heading to Coquitlam where our favorite Thai restaurant is. Parking is readily available since it is in a plaza with a big lot. The restaurant is also quite big and beautifully decorated. We shared the lettuce wraps as appetizer and I had the drunken noodles. My friend had the yellow curry chicken with coconut rice. The Thai iced milk tea is legit, like what you will get in Thailand. The food is tasty though the drunken noodles reminded me of fried kway teow in Malaysia and Singapore. I think it's due to the sweetness of the sauce. What I didn't like is the service and inconsistent price changed. The website menu prices are reflecting older prices as is the menu right after you enter. When I asked about it as the bill was showing a higher price, I was told they changed the price the week before and didn't update those menu. I did ask for the menu given to guests and took pictures of the current prices. So at $23 for a protein entree on average, that is a bit on the high side. I checked other Thai restaurants outside maple ridge and they are still under $20. So I guess people living in maple ridge area are like a captive audience unless they want to travel out for Thai food. Yelp check in has a promo of $5 off $20 purchase. The staff's immediate reaction was I had never seen that before and tried to fob me off by saying it must be an external online order promo. She didn't even bother reading it. Finally she said she would check with the owner after taking a pic of the promo on my phone. And she didn't come back with an update. Another staff honored the check in discount when we asked for the bill. The first staff was also quite standoffish and unhelpful when we asked for recommendations. The vibe was just order whatever you want, I don't care. I won't come back here despite the pretty tasty food. So glad I have other Thai options in metro vancouver which are nearer me.

    We stopped by for lunch specials during a weekday. We each ordered a curry and requested medium spicy. Food arrived after a decent wait as there was a steady stream of customers. However, I found the spice level to be mild and not Asian medium spicy standard. The salad was fresh. The wonton was crispy and the soup had a decent amount of veggies. The portion size was sufficient for lunch although big eaters might find it on the smaller side. Overall, this is a good Thai option in the area.

    Pad Ped Jungle

    Ban Chok Dee is my go-to Thai spot when with my boyfriend in the Maple Ridge area. We've gotten takeout from them a few times, and we swung by this past Friday for a quick post workout bite. We've tried a few of their curries, with the Gang Goong Pineapple Curry being one of the highlights. The prawns retain a springy texture and contrast nicely with juicy pineapple chunks, which provide bursts of sweetness in a creamy red curry sauce. My boyfriend often opts for their Pad Thai, which they do a decent rendition of here. The sauce is tamarind heavy - no inauthentic ketchup for sweetness here. I went for the Pad Ped Jungle this past visit, which is comprised of sautéed pork, eggplant, bell peppers, green peppercorns, and bamboo shoots. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, especially with the textural contrast of the peppercorns in every bite. The price points here are a dollar or two higher than other places around town but I find Ban Chok Dee to offer the best value. Portions are very large here and they offer a variety of local and imported beers to complement their spicy dishes. I usually go with a medium spice level and I find theirs to still have a decent amount of heat. Don't forget to check in on Yelp to get $5 off your meal!

    Papaya salad
    Carol T.

    Great Thai place in the Maple Ridge area. Atmosphere is nice. Sticky rice that comes with the apples is delicious. We ordered the papaya salad and the satays. These are hard to mess up but the sauce that comes with the satay really elevated them. Entrees: duck curry was very good. The duck was flavourful in the curry and the lychees were a seeet surprise. Pad thai wasn't the best that I've had. It seemed bland, the noodle, sauce and the fixing ratio was off. Had their deep fried banana dessert to finish. It was a good size and had to be shared amongst 3 people.

    Ordered takeout and was really blown away by the authenticity of the food. We tried their pad thai, yellow curry, green curry, lettuce wraps and kao soi. My favourite is the pad thai and koi soi. Both taste just like the ones I've had in Thailand. Kao soi is a curry noodle with chicken drumsticks - not every Thai place serves this so be sure to give it a try!

    Overcooked chewy seafood dish
    Marty M.

    Meh. So much hype...but food was not that good. However, Presentation was spectacular. The soup had waaaaay too much coconut. It tasted like just straight coconut soup. disappointing. The seafood dish was way over cooked. So chewy. Pad thai was very boring in flavour. We will not be coming back.

    Easy access from Lougheed

    First time at this restaurant. Found on Yelp. Had the Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken Nut and Tom Khan Gail soup. All were excellent tasting, colourful and we'll presented. Service was great. Not too people dining in on a Sunday night but many coming in for take out. Would definitely come again.

    Worse pad thai

    I made the mistake of ordering twice here and taste, portions for the price is not worth it. Not authentic thai food

    Top notch atmosphere.

    I discovered their Langley branch over 10 years ago, and have eaten there many times. I was elated to discover that they had opened their second restaurant on this side of the river. I consider Thai food to be the most reliable cuisine for the restaurant goers. I have to say, I have yet to find a bad Thai restaurant. If I were traveling to a town that was renowned for having poor restaurants, I would pick the Thai restaurant. The thing that stood out for me about the Langley restaurant, so many years ago, was the eclectic ambience. While this new restaurant is not quite as eclectic, it is very beautifully decorated, more like a fine dining restaurant. This is rare in Thai restaurants in my experience, as they seem to be more concentrating on their food, than their decor. Not only is the decor a notch above any competitor that I have experienced, but their food is two notches above other Thai restaurants. The cherry on the top of the cake, is the wonderful presentation that they go to the bother of creating. Things like fresh flowers, and special cutlery and bowls are examples of the extra effort that they put out to make their food look beautiful. So in a nutshell, this restaurant is better on all fronts than competing Thai restaurants, which as I mentioned, is no mean feat. Everything I have tried at this restaurant has been wonderful. I feel that I don't even want to single out any one dish, but I do seem to order the crying tiger beef salad (9/10) over and over. The curries are particularly delicious. My favorite is the Penang Curry (9/10), but this yellow curry (9/10) my daughter ordered was amazing. If you wanting to take friends out for a special meal, but are hesitant to go for Thai food because of the typical greasy spoon ambience, don't hesitate! This place will not fail to impress.

    I think this is one of the best thai foods in the Lower Mainland area. The place is a good size with lots of parking as it shares the same complex as Save on foods and other shops. Lots of items in their menu aside from the usual curry. I got the pad Thai and sis got the duck red curry. They have lunch portions for some of the items as indicated with an L beside it. The lunch is a bit smaller and comes with vegetable soup. It is $3-4 cheaper. You can customize the spiciness as well. The pad Thai was very well cooked. It has good flavor and you can smell the fish sauce. Probably not appetizing for some people but I love fish sauce. Anyways when you eat it, you don't really taste it. The noodles are cooked perfectly and the sauce coated them really well. Raw bean sprouts are laid on top which I am not really a fan of, but surprisingly, it added a nice crunch to the noodles. The duck red curry has lots of shredded duck meat and bamboo shoots. The red curry flavor is sublime. I kept on spooning the sauce and just eating it as it's perfect on it's own. Mild is really mild and there's no kick to it. So next time, I will opt for the medium spiciness. Prices are a bit higher compared to other Asian restos but the portions are enough to feed 2 people. And if you have an entertainment coupon, you get discount too. Service is great. Am looking forward to coming back here and trying out the fish dishes.

    Wow, who knew there can be a great Thai place out in Maple Ridge? Though I didn't see any Thai chefs in the kitchen, the flavours they produced seemed authentic, and not a western take on Thai flavours. The Tom Yum Goong had a complex flavour of sweet sour and savoury, and it was bold in flavour. The Green Curry was flavourful as well, but it was a tad on the sweeter side. The Pad Thai was also pretty good as well. The only downside is the price, but I guess it's because there's no other competition for a decent Thai restaurant in Maple Ridge area.

    On Yelp it says it's open Mondays, but their phone says Wednesday to Sunday. Restaurant should pay better attention to the internet

    My family and I went for a dinner in Chilliwack on November 29th. We found the place looking shabby…read moreand outdated with not so fancy looking interior. Google had positive reviews so we had to go. We ordered combination of 4 which consists of 8 spring rolls, red curry, shrimp pad thai, chicken cashew nuts, pad pak ruam with steam rice($68.99) and D18 tom yum soup ($11.99). Everything was very flavourful. Pad Thai tasted sweet, but it was delicious. We liked all the dishes. Tom Yum soup was very yummy. Portion was just right for 4 of us. We all felt full. Customers kept coming in so that I didn't see any empty tables left. This restaurant seemed to be doing well. Highly recommend this place for authentic Thai food!

    We had to pit stop in Chiliwack so decided to stop for lunch at Coconut Thai Restaurant. It's a few…read moredoors down to Sardis Health Foods. We dropped in on a Saturday (12:30pm). The inside is dated with large, vintage booths. Service was slow - seems they prioritize takeout orders. The menu is large but we stuck with the lunch combos (10:30am to 3:30pm). We asked for medium spicy (closer to mild). - Red curry (L1) ($13.45) - rice scoop was small. Spring roll was thick, had only cabbage for the filling. Soup was homey but a touch salty. Red curry was decent. Not much pork, mostly all bamboo shoots. - Pad thai (L10) ($13.45) - sauce was slightly sweet. Bean sprouts were raw. Surprisingly, a good portion of noodles. Standard, typical Thai fare.
