The food was delicious. I wish rice and salad came with the entree, but other than that, food was tasty! Service was great. I will go again. read more

It has been some time since I last gave a place 5 stars, so I was thrilled to finally find a place deserving of this rating. This family-owned restaurant is located off of Austin Ave. There is a small parking lot in the front of the establishment. Once inside, it is open seating, and you go up to the counter to order your food when ready. They do bring out the food to your table. We ordered the Pad Woon Sen and the Khao Soi. The food came out approximately 15 minutes after ordering. The Pad Woon Sen was tasty and the meat was tender. Make sure to ask for their special hot sauce on the side. You won't regret it. The Khao Soi tasted a bit like noodles in red curry. It was not my favorite, but the flavor was still very good. Compared to other Thai restaurants I have been to, this place is up there in terms of taste. The price is also very reasonable. I will be back in the near future. read more

Homey, fresh, welcoming little Thai place in a nondescript strip mall in Coquitlam. I would say a bit overpriced. I feel they have not quite gotten the price curve right. $5 for a small bowl of rice on top of a $22 curry? I think better pricing could help them drive more customers while still holding (and even lifting) the bottom line. But food is homemade, junk-free, and very delicious. For example, many pad thais are gooped in mass market supermarket sauces. Not this place. I do recommend a bit more substantive items in the curries. Felt a little thin on the proteins and veg, again, for the price. But these are minor tweaks to what is otherwise probably one of the most real deal Thai places in town. read more

Not really a big fan of Thai food but I'd say this place was decent for me in terms of taste. The seafood pad pong karee was pretty legit because it was a curry satay'd dish that used curry powder so the flavours were very dense but it was such a small portion that didn't equalize the price. Also ordered the khob khun Thai noodles with level 3 spice. The spice level for me was perfect since I was still able to taste it yet had right amount of heat. Flavour wise was a bit too salty. I felt like I needed plain rice to chase it. Won't be coming back as the price was not worth the portions. I understand times are tough but.... Ya no thanks! read more

This is a legit Thai place with items not commonly found in the run of the mill restaurants. The owners are very friendly and can accommodate food allergy. If you can speak a bit of Thai phrases, she will be so pleased to exchange a few pleasantries. She thought my friend knew Thai when when she heard her say Khob Khun (name of restaurant) as thank you in Thai is Khob Khun Ka/Khap (female/male). That was also when I learned the spelling of the word "thank you" in Thai. You can choose your spice level 1-5 with 5 being Thai spicy. I usually just take level 2-3 and ask for cut chili in fish sauce to increase the spice level if needed. I recently realized they serve cho muang which is minced meat filling of this purple blue flower dumpling. I did not get to try it here yet but I had it elsewhere before and it was good. Plus they looked pretty. I like the larb too. The appetizer platter for 2 is a good way to try the various Thai food. The Thai fish cake is so good, like what you get in Thailand. The spring roll is also much better than most places which I feel make their spring rolls as a cursory thing for people not that used to authentic Thai food. This spring roll is packed with ingredients. It is also a decent size, not a short skinny roll. The tom kha looks deceptively mild but it does pack a punch. The mango salad is nice but different from in Thailand. It is cubed and mixed with apple. So it is sweeter. It is not julienned and sour spicy like in Thailand. I have only been here a few times and so far everything has been delicious. Get the iced Thai milk tea. It is exactly like what you get in Thailand. Since we cannot travel now, come here for your Thai food craving. Note: There is a small parking area out front or at the side. I saw a notice on my last visit the lot is for sale and the other tenant has closed. I hope this place will still be around if the lot does get sold. read more

Another super hyped joint by Yelp no doubt. Nearly perfect score found me in this humble Thai joint known as Khob Khun. Coming out of a two day fast, I unfortunately visited this sugar lad-den cusinery. Crash. Had to take a hard nap due to insulin spike eating a meal with tremendous amount of sugar which is masked by the spices in the food. Had the yellow curry beef lunch, omelete, side of spring rolls and fried chicken. All were terribly presented but tasty. But what is tasty is not always good for your body. Sugar. There is just so much of it. No fault to Khob Khun. Despite their intent to use "no msg". They are unfortunately a old gen type of restaurant nyet known the risk of overtly consuming dousing food with sugar. I'd say if you don't care about obesity or health, or about presentation, give Khob Khun a shot. Food is tasty. Otherwise it is a try. read more

I had the khao soi and the chicken satay. I absolutely love khao soi! It was my favourite dish when I was in Thailand and I don't see it at many restaurants here so I was really grateful to have it tonight! Felt like soul food! The inside of the restaurant is just like your typical little hole in the wall but the service is great! Really friendly staff! I want to have their mango sticky rice but they ran out of mangoes. That's ok, gives me an excuse to go back! read more

With an initial celebration of my birthday in "our thoughts" -- I picked the place -- the three of us (Mom, daughter, and I) headed to 'Khob Khun' for lunch last Friday. It was an overdue return visit to one of our favourite, local restaurants, and the result was another so much-enjoyed, delightful dining event there. Everything was similar to the last time(s) dined there -- place, hosts, service, and food. Service was like we were attending our "homecoming" -- so cordial, warm, and accommodating. Food presentations colourful and so visually inviting, and the preparations so distinctly flavourful and tasty. We were all so glad I had chosen 'Khob Khun', it was such a great place to 'kick-start' my birthday. And thankfully, we ordered more food than really needed, so that some came back home, for my lady and I to cherish another taste the next day!! read more

Very tasty Thai food with plenty of vegan-friendly options. The restaurant itself is a fairly bare bones neighbourhood place, with 8-10 tables. They are quite vegan-friendly, even though it's not obvious from the menu. I came alone, so couldn't order that much variety. So, I grabbed the papaya salad ($13; with the fish sauce removed to make it vegan) and the pad see ew with tofu ($14; with the egg removed to make it vegan). I requested both items Thai spicy (their max), and they packed a nice heat but was far from intolerable. The papaya salad was really nicely flavoured, with perfectly textured green papaya, green beans, a nice garnish of peanuts, and some rather low grade tomatoes. Really tasty. 4.5/5 The pad see ew wasn't the most impressive, but the noodles were nicely cooked and flavoured, with a rather measly portion of gai lan, tofu and carrot. The portion itself wasn't huge but the dish comes together. Solid enough. 4/5 Service was middling, but quick and accurate. I had to come up to pay the bill because the server was in back for a while. All in all, solid Thai food, especially for Coquitlam. Recommended. read more

The Thai food here is okay. The pad Thai wasn't bad--nothing extraordinary. But the green curry was a little watery compared to most? It felt a bit like it was drowning our rice. You can choose your spiciness level. We got medium and thought it was pretty good! The Thai iced tea was very very sweet. We've had this before elsewhere and while it is sweet usually too, it's not THIS sweet. read more

Incredible Vegetable Panang Curry! I ordered delivery today for the first time and after my first bite: I knew this was my new favourite place. I can't wait to come back. My food was cooked perfectly. Tasted very fresh and hot: I had Thai level spicy. The Spring Rolls were really good, big and lots of vegetables inside. The Panang Curry was my favourite. Thank you! read more

Decent Thai food in coquitlam with a large menu and reasonable prices. I came to get take out for our Thursday dinner and ordered quite a few dishes to try and was happy with the taste and size of most of them! Some stand outs included the chicken dumplings, curry noodles with chicken (very delicious broth with a generous portion of chicken, egg noodle and fried noodle), stuffed chicken wings and thai omelette (filled with minced pork and tasted great!). The appetizer sampler was a great chance to try a bit of many appetizers and I found the chicken satay very tasty, the wontons had too much batter and no complaints about the fishcakes. I really enjoyed the mango salad as we don't often order a salad when getting takeout. We also went with some familiar favourites that were nothing amazing but tasted fine. The green curry with pork, we asked for a level 2/5 spice level but were surprised to notice an intense heat involved! Tasted pretty good though with a good amount of veggies. The pad thai was a little disappointing because it was a little bit too tangy, there weren't many bean sprouts or chives and the noodles were a little bit softer than what I prefer. On the other hand, it was still tasty and came with 5 large shrimp. I expected a lot more from the BBQ chicken both in portion size and in flavour as it didn't have much of anything special and was also poorly presented and small in size. It was okay but not really worth the price. Lastly, the minced chicken and green bean stir fry was actually cut up chicken breast meat rather than minced chicken but it was still delicious! With lots of green beans and a reasonable amount of chicken, this was flavourful without being too spicy or salty. Overall, the food here is not bad at all but I don't think anything stood out as being amazing. We did like how the food didnt feel too heavy and greasy (as some Thai places leave us feeling) and we also liked their diverse menu. read more

Absolutely one of my favourite places, easy to miss but you shouldn't miss out. Must get coconut mango sticky rice. Ambiance: 5/5 Cute, casual and quaint. Their interior is filled with things from thailand creating great family feeling. Food: 5/5 (lunch time) Wow flavourful and done perfect. They serve up a fresh and tasty green papaya salad, I went with level 4 spicy which was very intense. Their sticky rice is cooked and served in a traditional woven basket. The chicken has crispy skin juicy meat with their complimentary seasoning. I think the biggest highlight is the coconut mango sticky rice. Service: 5/5 Sweetest owner, she is so kind welcoming and makes the food cared for and delicious. Worth: 5/5 Hell yeah!!!! Come here try their food, get dessert, drinks and everything in between. You'll get authentic, family and delicious Thai food. read more

The food is ALWAYS good here, no matter what you order. I've been coming here for years. Be aware, the dishes served here have bit of "kick" to it.

When we stepped into the restaurant, we felt the interior design was very simple and very "Thai!", but the owner used Thai cloths, pictures and posters for the decorations and Thai music was running in the background. The owner or server was very friendly and asked if it was our first time to come here for lunch. Yes we were! We saw the rating and reviews were high here, so we must try this Thai restaurant. We ordered from their lunch combo. Each dish was only $9 that included soup and spring roll. Yummy! We ordered pad Thai with chicken (mild spicy), khob Khun spicy noodles with beef and two iced Thai milk tea. The texture of pad Thai was soft and chewy. We loved it because some restaurants overcooked the rice noodles and destroyed the quality of the dish. We asked for mild for the spiciness. The spring roll and soup came with the combo. The spring roll was crispy that was full of veggies inside. The soup was a little bit of spicy and sour that it was less spicy than their tom yum kung soup. We had a great eating experience here especially there was a really good deal on the lunch combos and the quality of food was excellent. We would love to come back and try other dishes. read more

Ordered take out for 4ppl: green curry, massaman curry, spring rolls, papaya salad, coconut rice, and pad Thai The portions were generous and the prices are reasonable. The coconut rice with the green curry were the highlights. The only areas of suggestion would be the sauce for the spring rolls. The consistency was too runny (it felt really watery). A thicker sauce would have been better. We ordered mild for all of the dishes and asked for extra spice on the side (which is such a great option). However everything had a bit of a kick to it. I can handle a little bit of spice, so it was fine. However if you really can't handle any spice...just be aware of their tendency to be on the spicier side. I don't live in the Coquitlam area so I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here or order take out. However, if I happened to be in the area, I would go back based on value and taste. read more

Saw so many great reviews, but kind of misleading. We were so exited to try some seafood here.

We were pleasantly surprised! Dining at Khob Khun Thai was like visiting your Thai aunties' home that you never had. Casual dining with excellent prices - main dishes ranging from around $10-$13 making eating out very affordable. We ordered chicken wings (deep fried with sweet Thai chili dipping sauce), khao soi (thin red curry sauce with egg noodles and chicken), pra pad pri (on special- basa filet stir fried in house made chilli sauce with kefir lime leaf), and jasmine rice to eat with the fish. The food tasted like home cooked Thai food. Not fancy and not pretending like they are. Service was great and food came out quickly. They have lunch specials that include salad/soup on a smaller menu compared to dinner so I'm looking forward to try that in the future. Definitely will be back and recommend. read more

Always love to find good eats around the Coquitlam neighbourhood and I am so happy to have found a new go to place for Thai food! It is a small family run restaurant that has good a choice of dishes. We ordered the Khao Soi with Chicken (a curry egg yolk noodle dish that is topped with crispy noodles and a side of pickles and onion). And we also ordered the Pad Ped with beef (a stir fry veggie dish with meat and chili paste). Both of the dishes were full of flavour and the taste of their curries and pastes is bit different from your typical Thai restaurant - it's better! And they let you choose the spiciness level too. And the price of this place is outstanding. Most of the dishes are around $10-$13. Definitely will become regulars here! For those who are not around the area, it is definitely worth making a stop to try out! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Started off with a Thai Iced Tea, then ordered the #13 Pad See Ew w/ chicken extra spicy..how spicy 1-5? I said 10! LOL Ok just 5 but Thai Spicy. Not American Spicy, that S**t is not hot enough. The lunch orderr came with a cup of Tom Yum and an eggroll. The Tom Yum was 2*, not too flavorful and more sour than hot. The eggroll was cool 3.5*, tasted fresh. Lunch came out shortly and it was piping hot... nice! Had my 1st taste and liked its flavor, after my 5th bite I started to feel the heat! YES! This is what I am talking about, bring it Thai spicy #5. Not the spiciest thai I 've had but it had flavor and for the price, its a bargain. read more

My date wanted Thai food and suggested this restaurant. We seated ourselves and menus were dropped off shortly. Service was friendly. You can order the heat/spice level on a numerical scale. I say a "3" is what would be medium or just under medium spicy at most places. Food arrived fairly quickly. We ordered green curry, pad thai, deep fried tofu and coconut rice. Everything tasted good. The deep fried tofu was fried perfectly and was not greasy. It did rely heavily on the dipping sauce for flavour. Beef was tender in the green curry. Pad thai was good although I would have preferred if there was a bit more chicken. They tried to make the presentation nicer with a deep fried wrapper. The peanuts and bean sprouts were under the wrapper. You need to mix all the ingredients prior to eating. The coconut rice was aromatic and complimented the curry well. Food was reasonably priced. We were too full for dessert afterwards. read more

Small corner restaurant that needs some updating to make it more inviting to people. We took our chance for the love of food tripping and support for local restaurants. It seems to be run and owned by an older couple. I ordered the special combo on their board which was papaya salad, chicken bbq, and sticky rice, pad Thai lunch and some pork belly with beans/basil. I Food arrived fairly quickly and presentation was good. I like that you can adjust the spicy level and I got level 5 and mild for my parents. Everything tasted good like home style Thai cooking. My favourite was the papaya salad, very spicy and flavourful! For dessert we got the deep fried banana with ice cream. It was just okay because it was mostly batter and not the best I've tried. Overall satisfied, I would return again. read more

Tried this little restaurant based on the reviews but was a little disappointed with the lunch combo I ordered. Although I asked for the 4th level of spiciness, the green curry was mild, sweet and the beef had a strange texture. The crispy spring roll was OK - not dripping in oil. The soup that came with the combo just tasted sweet and sour, nothing like a tom yam. My friend ordered the Chili Jam Fried Rice which looked delicious but was again lacking in that "Thai" taste. We also ordered the stuff chicken wings which were large (2pcs per order) but again lacking in Thai seasoning. Didn't realize the lunch combos had a soup so we also ordered the Tom Kha soup - coconut based "tom yam". Parking was on-site though not many stalls. Service was okay. read more

Despite my only having been here once (so far), I get the feeling that this is going to be my go-to place to get authentic Thai food. What makes it even better is that it's only a couple of blocks from my house. I've been craving great Thai for awhile after the place I used to go to in Burnaby closed and my next best choice in PoCo seemed to be hit or miss if it was going to be open that night. I need to point out that the server was super friendly, helpful and attentive. I never needed water, he made awesome suggestions (like getting the prawn with the Pad Thai because I already had a chicken dish coming) and seemed to genuinely like being there. Attitude is everything. The $9 lunch deals are awesome. Not only do you get a plate of tasty food, you also get a spring roll and a small soup. After reading other reviews, I ordered the stuffed chicken wings appetizer. I was not disappointed. Wow. I could have made an entire meal out of a few orders of those. The Pad Thai main dish was excellently prepared, the noodles perfect and not overdone like other places I've been too. Next time I get it though, I'm going to ask for it to be spicy. :) I ate so fast that my stomach hadn't quite caught up to my brain and I was tempted to order another complete lunch, just to get more of that tastiness into my food hole. I took too long going over the menu though and my tummy told me it only had enough room for one more small thing. That small thing? Fried banana and ice cream dessert. Holy doodle! I've had this dessert before at other places, but for some reason this seemed levels above those other ones. The batter on the bananas was light and crispy and drizzled with honey. A perfect combination with the vanilla ice cream and a perfect end to a great meal. With so many tasty items to choose from, I think I'm going to start at the top of the menu the next time I go in and start working my way down the list each time I eat there. That way I won't have to worry about taking too long deciding what I'm going to eat. :) Can't wait for my next visit. read more

It was a dark and stormy night and people we were with wouldn't stop talking about their trip to Thailand so naturally we felt like Thai food. We found Khob Khun in the neighbourhood (thanks Yelp!) and on we went. They have a small place along Austin with plenty of parking. We decided to just do take away and proceeded to order our Thai standards: pad thai, panang curry and Thai fried rice. We haven't eaten all day so we also ordered fried chicken wings and satay chicken to start off with. The staff were very friendly and the interior was cozy. It wasn't that busy at 8:30pm but there were 2 people in the restaurant and a couple other people came in to pickup their food. We were able to get our food (less 10%) within 15 minutes. When we got home, I ate their very crispy and tasty chicken wings right away. The generous portion of panang curry was rich and perfectly spiced for me (I ordered medium). There was plenty of chicken and still-crispy red peppers. The fried rice was a bit disappointing. It was a bit mushy like the rice hasn't had a chance to dry out before frying it up. It was still tasty though from the coconut milk and the stir fried veg and chicken. Sadly I didn't get to taste the pad thai so I will just have to come back and order it again. read more

I set off today to eat Korean, but found myself seated, again, at the sunny front table of this restaurant. Being that I ate here yesterday, it might seem a bit OCD of me, but I was craving their bright flavours once again. This time, the friendly couple that own the restaurant where there to greet me. Such kind people, and they gave me a free sample of their vegetarian spring rolls...deelish! The Tom Yum Kung (Shrimp Tom Yum) $10, and the Gai Yang (BBQ Chicken) $10, were amazing. The quality and presentation you get at this little mom and pop joint, could fetch a much higher price than the very reasonable prices they are asking. read more

This is our favourite Thai place near our house. You won't regret ordering from here!

This is a wonderful, authentic place to go for Thai food. It's a pretty nondescript place from the outside, with only a few parking spots in front of the small restaurant. It's located on busy Austin Ave., so it can be easy to miss. However, if you're in the area and want some good Thai food run by a sweet couple, definitely check this place out. I ordered pineapple fried rice with chicken and they had it ready for me in no time. The lady had asked me about my preferred spice level (from 1 - 5). I didn't want something too spicy, so I said from mild to regular spice level. Usually when you go to Thai restaurants in the Lower Mainland and ask for mild or even regular spice level, it won't be spicy at all. This pineapple fried rice, though, had a kick to it. So be aware that they do Thai spice authentically! All in all, it was some yummy pineapple fried rice for $13, and a good place to check out if you want some good Thai food in Coquitlam! read more
