The lingcod and mussel curry is amazing! It was creamy with strips of coconut and about 20 mussels. I had the chicken cashew once and found it too salty. But, I'd definitely go for the seafood curry again and would like to try the Pad Thai. Good value for money. $8-10 for meals. read more

A lovely boutique Thai restaurant. My personal favorite is the deep fried oyster. Also this is one of the few places that cooks an authentic pad thai that is not laced with ketchup. Place is generally busy and the wait time may be long. read more

Their laksa is pretty small but makes up for it in flavour, its so good. Everything is fresh and they change it up pretty regularly! Also love that they have local Steel & Oak beer! I wish they were open later as I don't want to be that jerk who walks in at 6:30 and prevents them from closing up for the night. I go back whenever I get home from work early enough to make it for dinner. read more

Love the crispy chicken wings! Salty, crispy with a but if sweetness coating makes it heavenly :) read more

Longtail Kitchen - Crispy Chicken Wings - Thai Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

We ordered the chicken wings which were the highlight of our meal. Crispy and wonderfully seasoned and came with a nice Thai dipping sauce that was not the sticky jar kind but one which paired well with them. The green curry while beautifully presented but lacked flavour. It lacked the richness of coconut milk and could have benefited with additional seasoning. The pad thai lacked presentation (this is a self serve restaurant in a take out format so was not expecting much) and was very good. read more

See all

Delicious Thai food! Traditional style mostly with some western favourites. Great place for brunch or lunch. Changing menu keeps things interesting :) read more

I gotta admit, one of the best places for chicken wings. That Tamarind dipping sauce is amazing! I like to think of this place as a mix with Thai street food. It's not about portions at this joint it's all about the flavours!! This joint is legit! read more

Food us good more 90%of the time. Please try it. It's really good!! Also chef some have special events for esters =)

Loved the pad thai there. Always fresh, and delicious. The flavour might not be consistent, but its delicious every time regardless.

Love there fried chicken, and the special sauce. Also decent pad thai, and pad ki mao if you like spicy. Pad see ew is alright.

One of my favourite restaurants in the Vancouver area! A real hidden gem. I've tried most of the menu, which changes seasonally. They offer curries, a seasonal veg on rice (butternut squash, eggplant, etc.), pad thai, various noodle dishes, roti, etc. Everything is amazing. Everyone I've brought has been surprised at how delicious the food is hidden away in this little corner of the River Market in New West. The owners also run Mae Nam on West 4th, and often serve the same dishes at both restaurants, but they charge literally half the price at Longtail, as it's a more casual, cafeteria-style order at the counter place, where everything is served on disposable flatware. You need to try this place! read more

I know this place has not the best food ,,,but I was super hungry.i ordered the tofu pad tai ..just before he hands it too me he pulls pieces of chicken out with his bare hands and tries to hand me the food ..15 $ for a tiny container of hand noodles...the cashier says I would like a fresh one ..cook makes a big deal about putting a glove on ...comes out of the back with my food ? I asked for my money back ...he was mad I asked for non fingered food ?seem like only tourist eat here ...i know why .. read more

So many haters who have obviously had their tongues burned on their Campbell's soup one too many times, thus leaving their palates rendered useless. 1 star and 3 star ratings?! Really?! This place is the real deal Holyfield! Simple menu done right! Not street food you say?! I'm guessing you haven't been to Thailand! This is upscale street food Canadianized a bit to fit our tastes. The Papaya salad is TOO DIE FOR! Sweet, Sour, Spicy. The necessity of Thai cooking. The Pad Thai beats almost all that I've had including the 50 plus different ones I had throughout Thailand. Again, Sweet, Sour, Spicy used to perfection. The chicken wings are great on their own, but heightened to a new dimension with the sauce on the side. You guessed it! Sweet sour and spicy! The oysters are perfectly fried and not over done like most I've had, and the sauce it came with I could literally drink on its own! Everything is done in front of you using a Mortal and Pestle. Super fresh ingredients used on all dishes. My only recommendation is implementing a daily special to switch things up for the regulars, which I would be if I didn't live in Chilliwack! I married me a chef and we go out for food a handful of times a year. Reason being is that she can make better at home and we know where the ingredients come from. Discovering this gem in New Westminster will give us a reason to go out more. That is until we learn to duplicate it at home. read more

Decided to give this place one last chance. Ordered pad thai. The guy took my order on their iPad, handled the debit machine and cash, then proceeded to prepare my meal with his bare hands which he did not wash after taking payment (he didn't even use tongs to grab the sprouts and other food - just took handfuls of stuff with his dirty hands). I've witnessed this multiple times now and so have my friends. I'm not ignorant to the fact that this probably happens in other restaurants. But this is an open kitchen and they are so blatant about it. The pad thai tasted like he added too much fish sauce or something. Totally inconsistent quality. I'm so disappointed. read more

Went again after not having been for quite awhile. It's better. Same small shop but they've adjusted the menu for noodle, rice and soups. More of a complete selection than before. Excellent non Canadianized flavours. Plus there is now craft beer and wine. read more

I came to Longtail with my sister to grab a quick lunch. It was a holiday Monday in lieu of Canada Day. I'm glad they were open but the menu was sparse (perhaps due to the holidays) there isn't much choice for a pescatarian. I ordered singapore noodles with tofu instead of chicken. At first, my sister thought they added yellow food dye to the dish but it turned out to be turmeric powder. It was loaded with lots of fresh vegetables but halfway through eating it, I realized that they didn't put the tofu in it at all. So they added it to my half eaten dish with an apology. By that time I was already a bit full. My sister had the gai lan with rice We shared both dishes. The food seemed fresh and vegetables were crunchy and not overcooked. My expectations were a bit higher in terms of taste and seasoning. I felt myself looking for a more robust flavour instead of one note. I would like to go again on a non holiday to see if the menu is any better. read more

Underwhelming and disappointing. We were looking forward to trying Longtail since we love Thai food and the menu had good price points for a quick and casual lunch at the quay. We ordered at the till and waited for our freshly cooked dishes. Both our dishes were bland and my pad see ew noodles were hard. Unfortunately they got our order wrong so we had to wait another 20 minutes for our chicken wings. After 3x of inquiring and seeing other patrons getting orders of wings, we were getting annoyed. No acknowledgement or apology for waiting over 1/2 hr for 8 chicken wings. To be fair, the wings were delicious. However we didn't find the dishes to be authentic. read more

Longtail located at the River Market in New West, and they serve Thai/Asian food. It's a small restaurant but it serves amazing food. We came here for lunch and we got the roti, mussels curry, chicken wings, and fried oysters. They all had great flavors, especially their curry. The mussels were as plump as I wanted them to be, but the curry was excellent and it had enough heat. Longtail is especially famous for their deep fried chicken wings with tamarind sauce. It had incredibly crispy skin, and the overall dish had a good balance of sweet and sour. I would love to come back for their other items, and I believe they have specials once in awhile. The only complaint I have tho, is their portion is quite small. So if you are thinking of sharing, you better get more than a few dishes. read more

Soooooo good and super consistent. Very addictive flavours. The guys that work there are really nice and genuine.

Decent food. Very disorganized kitchen. They forgot my order. No apology. Nothing. Disappointing.

This restaurant is amazing and I always recommend it. The Thai food is authentic, extremely flavourful and always fresh/made to order. They also have several gluten free options (just ask!), including their amazing crispy wings. It can sometimes be a bit of wait but we always find it worth it in the end. They also offer cooking classes (we've taken one and it was really informative) and several other evening dinners. All around one of my favourite places in New Westminster/Lower Mainland. read more

I've been living in new west for about a year and a half now and tried many of the good restaurants around, but I still think longtail is the best in the whole city. You have to realize how fortunate we are to have a casual restaurant of that level around here, because there aren't too many like it. It's owned by the same guy as Maenam, so think of it as a similar relationship as Rangoli to Vij's. I also dig that it sells ingredients on the side. read more

Portions were not very big for the price you pay. Had the Pad Thai, Green Curry and Chicken Wings. Flavours were good, but pricey for a joint that serves food in to-go packaging and plastic cutlery. read more

Fabulous Thai food at the River Market in New Westminster! I was very bored with Pad Thai, before tasting it here - an all-new experience! And their oysters are to die for! read more

Excellent location, delicious food and friendly staff. The owner was very helpful when I asked for tips on improving my own Thai cooking at home. read more

Chicken wings , fried oysters, fish balls, turmeric curry with mussels and fried rice. Those are my favourite things on the menu. Never fails ! Always amazing and good flavours . Chef Justin is on tv a lot but nice to see a humble TV celebrity still always cooking for his customers ! Pick a Sunny day and and sit on the patio. Live music is always around on the weekends. read more

Really enjoyed bringing my wife and kids here on Mother's Day last weekend, food was excellent, I liked the setting as well. We had the Beef Pad Sieuw, Pad Thai with Tofu, a chicken noodle dish, and the egg plant - all was very good and we will be back. Hope that they compost and recycle as there were a lot of compostable items in the bin. read more

Hey yo this place has amazing curry. the wings are so good, one look at the wings and you know its loaded with flavour. who ever said this place has no flavour must have their tongue coated with wax like that episode when Homer eats the chilli pepper. read more
