It is highly rated and I can see why! Each of the dishes had very authentic flavours and larger in portion. My favourites is the Pad Thai and the Beef Massaman Curry. The Pad Thai may be the best one I have yet! Pork Belly Pad Gra Pow would probably has been better with the traditional ground pork as we felt the pork belly was in the drier side, but it had really great flavour and fantastic with lots of rice! Space is quite limited in the restaurant so I would recommend booking early as this restaurant will get more and more popular.

It is in some sort of camp site where if you need a hot shower you can take one before or after dinner. On to the food, the food tasted great and had all the authentic Thai flavors. The chicken wings were surprisingly tasty and had to order another batch. Inside there are only a few tables so if you plan to eat there, highly recommend making reservations. Otherwise it seems like Togo orders is the way to go. The staff were very friendly and would highly recommend. Will certainly be back the next time we are in whistler.

The chicken satay was definitely very good, flavorful and tender. The peanut sauce goes very well with the meat. Downside was the calamari, the pieces are quite big which make it not as crispy as it would be. Our favorite was the salmon penang curry. the coconut flavor of the curry together with the sweetness make it a very well balanced item. it went very well with the jasmine rice. We also tried the mango sticky rice. the warm sticky rice went perfectly well with the sweetness of the mango. very well made I would love to visit again to try other items on the list which caught my eyes

I ordered their lunch special "SET Vegan" ($20), which comes with a tofu pad thai, tofu yellow curry, and steamed rice. You pick your spice level--I chose Thai spicy. The food came out in about 10 minutes. The pad thai was top-notch--balanced flavours, adequate richness--with plenty of puffed tofu (rather than the usual thin strips of firm tofu as per the classic dish). The yellow curry was solid, coming with mixed veggies and puffed tofu, but only moderate flavour complexity. Neither was all that spicy but still had a nice kick. For $20, the value was great--lots of food and good quality. Really nice spot, extremely vegan-friendly, fast and good service, and good value. Very much recommended.

This place expands my knowledge base of Thai dishes. Brian broke out from his parents' famous…read moreVancouver restaurant to branch out with his own tastes of Thai cuisine, making his theme "Thai street food". Don't look for chicken satays here - he's sick and tired of a lifetime of grilling these for customers. Yeah, for him, it's the pork. And ho boy, does he grill it well. Some dishes are 3 styles of pork, and I keep getting his pork jowls: the most buttery, soft pillowy grilled pork I've had in ages. But back to the street food part - it's more the vibe of the place: down-to-earth, 90's pop culture posters and Thai toys, a VHS player showing non-stop clamshell family movies (the other screen shows 90's and noughts' comedies and action movies pointed at the bar end of the kitchen). Sure, Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, along with your Green, Yellow and Massamun curries abound on the menu, and they're all big portions bursting with flavour, but here's what I go for: The specials. Oh, they've showcased lemongrass fried rice, lard na, clam pancakes, ohhhh... most of the time (and we go almost once a week) these are all I order and I skip the regular menu. And the cocktails! Jerry has a lineup of such unique drinks that I just cycle through the menu, trying a different one each visit. She keeps tweaking the recipes until she's got each a perfect concoction before we even see it on the menu - I keep asking her what she's working on each time I'm there and she fills me in on her latest liquid experiment. Service is great - Nancy and team are all so friendly, they know when to leave you to enjoy and when to stop by and chat. It's a cozy, social place where the wok's always fired up and just makes me smile to be there every time I go with friends or family.

I got their Mussamun Curry (Potatoes, seasonal vegetables, onions, fried shallots, peanuts and Jasmine rice) with tofu. Huge portions, this can serve 2 portions! Tons of vegetables that are fresh and not just carrots. They have enoki mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, and what I think is eggplant. I didn't get potatoes or fried shallots, but they could be in the other half. I got it to go and they were all very friendly. This meal was $22 and really well balanced. I can't wait to try more of their dishes!

Portions are small, but clearly designed for a fine-dining experience rather than a filling meal. Standouts: The Pad Thai was impressive and well-balanced, especially for someone very familiar with Thai food. But the highlight for me was the Organic Coconut Galangal Soup with Crispy Wild Sockeye Salmon -- deeply flavorful, comforting, and the dish that truly stayed with me. Service: Attentive and thoughtful. I was here for my birthday and received a greeting letter and card, which made the experience feel extra special. Value: Pricey, yes -- but when you factor in the food, service, and overall experience, it's worth it for a special occasion. Highly recommended for celebrations or a meaningful night out.

Heavy on the coconut - it would be good to mix up the flavours a bit more and subtract one or two items with the coconut. A good way to try out this restaurant and have nibbles of different things.

However, a reputable source who lives in Whistler said they had eaten several meals there that were not that great. I decided to chance it and order takeout. I got the Thai laksa curry noodles, made vegan by just removing the chicken. I clarified to make sure there was no egg in the noodles. I got 2 out of 5 star spicy. I also ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert, which is vegan by default. Had to call to place the order, and the first time I called it went to voicemail so I waited a few minutes and called back. Food was ready in 15 minutes, and it was still hot and honestly quite tasty. The laksa was well flavored and spiced, it wasn't bland but I'd probably get 3 stars next time. It's simple, noodles, sauce, onions, and the tofu. Tofu was cooked well, but it was a lot of noodles and the noodles didn't really hold the sauce well so sometimes a mouthful of noodles didn't have a ton of sauce/flavors. Mango sticky rice was very tasty. I would definitely get it again. I might get the laksa again, but I'd like to try more things and see how they are.

Even on a weekday evening, the restaurant was nearly full. We started with the papaya salad, which was fresh, crisp, and nicely seasoned. We also ordered the roasted duck curry. I'm not usually the biggest duck fan, but the curry itself had great flavor. The broth was a bit looser and soupier than I was expecting, but it paired wonderfully with rice. I was also surprised to find pieces of whole fruit in the curry, something I haven't encountered in Thai curries before. The standout of the meal was definitely the Crying Tiger platter. We ordered it with both beef and pork jowl. While the beef was excellent, the pork jowl was especially memorable. Both meats had a wonderful charred, smoky flavor from the grill and were served alongside fresh vegetables and sticky rice, making for a satisfying and well-balanced dish. The prices were also extremely reasonable for the quality and portions. There are still so many dishes on the menu I'd love to try, and I'd happily return on a future visit to Vancouver.
