On our way back to BC from Alberta, we stayed overnight in Pitt Meadows as part of our plan, we tried out Ma Now, as we heard so much positive comments from Yelp! And wow, we are so glad we did! Soon as we checked in we drove over for an early dinner, as I was guessing that on a Saturday night the place will be packed. We arrived at around 5:45pm and there are already a few large parties having their dinner, we were shown our table and presented with Menu and water. Food came relatively fast and in good intervals: Tom Yum Goong (Large): this is one of the best TYG, so far this year, the balance of lime & fish sauce is PERFECT!! As we had a choice of spiciness, we went for "Thai Hot" all the way! For the soup the spiciness was just right, but as I will tell you later the other two dishes were really "Thai HOT"! Nam Tok - Thai Beef Salad: The first impression is that the choice of vegetables are very western as it contains baby red & green lettuce, cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, yellow bell peppers, but once you get to the beef ( they use steak here, grilled to medium rare ), the Thai characteristics of this dish exploded in your mouth! The beef is tossed in lime juice, mint leaves, ground toasted rice, chili powder, fish sauce and other ingredients, after evenly mixing the salad, you can really taste the beef's richness balanced with all the vegetables, a delightful dish! Chicken with Chili Basil: This is a Wok-stir fry dish, the Chef's wok skill is totally shown here! All the vegetables are extremely crispy but well cooked, the chicken breast meat were all very succulent and tender, flavour is a perfect balance of savoury & spice! We paired our dinner with Thai Beer & BC White Wine, and it was a perfect match, as "Thai Hot" means really hot & spicy, so if you want to experience the way it is in Thailand, go for it!! P.S. You may want to keep some room for dessert: The homemade coconut ice cream will help reduce the spiciness!! read more

Love this place and the fact that they have a Vegan/Vegetarian menu. Our favourite is the Tom kha gai - Coconut cream soup, we always get that and add noodles. Super delicious. I've tried almost everything on their Veg menu - the pad Thai wasn't the best I've had. Other veg items were okay, nothing super special but that Coconut cream soup...super good and flavourful. Also, the coconut milk ice cream with corn and jackfruit is super yummy! Order it without the coconut roll biscuit to make it vegan read more

This place is so Vegan and Vegetarian friendly! I love that they have 2 pages dedicated in their menu just for these options, which really is amazing, I don't often see this anywhere. The food is delicious and very flavourful, I have never been disappointed. The restaurant itself is also very clean and the service is great. Our server had a smile on his face the entire time, which definitely adds to the experience. Prices are good considering the quality and portion size you get. I highly recommend this place for those on a hunt for Thai food in Coquitlam! read more

We stopped by for lunch over the long weekend. We were seated right away. Menus are available online with a QR code. We all ordered lunch specials as it was the only items available for ordering. My Thai milk tea tasted good as expected. The red curry with chicken tasted average. There was not much chicken but tons of bamboo shoots. The crunchy wonton wrapper was alright. Service was great. Staff wiped down table and chairs prior to us being seated. Food arrived fairly quickly. Covid precautions were in place. Overall, it was a 3.5 star meal. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Great tasting pad Thai! There wasn't a child menu or good food options for children on the menu. In fact it didn't really seem like a very family friendly restaurant in terms of the layout and menu. Better for two adults at a time. The cost of food was pretty high. Roughly around $18 a plate. A little too much $$ The restaurant is small and simple. Very quiet. Nice design. Good atmosphere. My server was a polite and professional young man. The food came quickly. Over all a pretty good experience but not one I could afford to repeat many times. Tips It could not hold large groups of people comfortably without irritating nearby tables. Parking is available in front. read more

First time here and wanted to try since they had a good rating. I can see why. Super fresh, decently portioned and fairly priced. Will be back to try the curry dishes then give a final rating. Pad Thai could have had more seasoning as it was a tad bland for me. read more

We dined in and tried their o-taro, panang curry, kao soi and fried rice. The o-taro appetizer dish is very unique and tasty! The meats in the panang curry and kao soi are more on the dry side. Usually, the kao soi chicken leg is super tender but I didn't find that in mine. Aside from that, the flavours are there and portion sizes are big.

Order takeout from here during the pandemic. There is no discount when picking up which is a disappointment since they use one of the mobile pickups that takes a huge cut. So no incentive to go pickup your order. Appie: I wanted pork satay (was in previous reviews) but they don't make them anymore so went with the chicken. The chicken was chicken breast, it was dry and had no flavour. You really had to count on the peanut sauce which was way too sweet. Tom yum goong was very citrusy and flavourful. This was my favourite dish. Mains: I ordered the pad Thai and pot of the box, the colour didn't look very appetizing. The flavour was very good but the chicken was again, dry. They didn't cut the pieces think enough to negate the dryness. I also ordered the green curry with beef. All curries are $1 off currently. Again the curry base itself was delicious but the beef was tough and chewy, again overdone. It was like eating cardboard. My family and I ate the rest of the curry but left all the beef pieces. We also ordered the cashew stir fry with shrimp. Though the shrimp was again overdone, it was palatable. With all the good reviews, I had gone to ma now twice in restaurant. The service is good. And now at takeout, I just don't see why they have such good reviews. I feel they have so much to improve on. I prefer other local Thai places close by but best wishes to them. read more

Exceptional small little restaurant. Food was fantastic and exceptionally tasty! Service was phenomenal!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Thai food! read more

Ma Now Thai is one of our favourite Thai restaurants in the area. But we have been slowly infrequenting the place as they have been slowly inflating their prices and decreasing the portions. The Good; The place has never disappointed us. Plates after plates of consistent quality and flavour. Food = 9/10 Service is also very consistent and friendly. Though a few staffs may not be fluent in English. As long as you can point to the picture or menu item, you are good to go. Unless you are unfamiliar with Thai cuisine and need some lengthy explanation or to convey your allergies. Most likely your wait staff will call upon someone with a better command of English there. Service 8/10 The Okay; The ambiance is bright with couple of large tv screens running the same slide show over and over. Not sure what the atmosphere they are trying to create. Minimal cafeteria style seating is not always comfortable but okay. I guess they are going for a quasi-modern cafe eatery style? 7/10 Value. Lunch for two last time came out to be 35$ with tax and tips. Dinner runs 60$+. Meals are not particularly filling. Slightly pricier than expected to pay. This could be the cost of the ingredients or the process involved in cooking. Either way 6/10 in terms of value. Overall score: Food quality and taste 9/10 Service 8/10 Ambiance 7/10 Value 6/10 Overall score 30/40 = 75% B If you are looking for adventure but not starving, Ma Now Thai is a good choice. But if you looking for a deal and are ravenous, keep looking. Would I be back? Probably if I really was "hungry" for Thai. read more

Really wanted to give restaurant a 5 star but they just miss the mark. Coming into the restaurant I felt they have really simple, minimalist decor which makes it really homie for a Thai restaurant. "Ma now" means lime - which is the ingredient they use on almost all dishes. We ordered most of our dishes "thai spicy hot" but it seems its not hot enough and end up being dissapointing. But taste wise, the food is delicious. I recommend the pad thai and pad gra pao with the coconut rice. Also the pork skewers are well cooked - eat it with the cilantro provided. Their food is sharable - portion size is decent. $13-15 per portion. Service is quick and attentive. I would give them another star when their food is more refined. More spices, less sugar/salt. Will come back to try other food. read more

Came here to try the Kaow Soi, it was only ok. It was very quiet inside, the staff was having lunch. I guess they only offer select items at lunch time because I was given a menu with a smaller selection. Overall, this is not the first place I would go to for Thai but definitely not a bad choice read more

Love the ambience and food tastes great with all the yummy basil and herbs. A bit pricey so cannot visit often. Service is good too

I've eaten here twice ( it's not close to me) and both times I've been impressed. The atmosphere is lovely, the service friendly and the food quite good. Their Tim Ka Gai is the best anywhere! Everything was nice and fresh and as you'd hope Thai to be the flavours are balanced and layered. We'll be back and do recommend it! read more

Over-rated. Average compared to Vancouver so probably a dandy for locals here. Fish cakes oily. Lunch entree average as well, some type of chips all over soaked in curry sauce, barely any chicken. Won't get full here. Customer service could be friendlier. Nice decor though. read more

Nice decor and friendly staff, but sadly the food was underwhelming. We went there for dinner and ordered fried wontons, chicken pad Thai, beef parang curry in "THAI HOT" spice level, and for dessert, we ordered the "F.B.I"=fried banana with ice cream. The fried wontons were ok, but those should only cost $1 (it's literally just fried wonton wrappers without any filling). The pad thai was the most disappointing dish since that's what my hubby and i were craving for. I think the pad Thai at the food court's "Thai express" tastes even better. The Panang curry was ok, but there was not enough of the beef. The other disappointment was the portion sizes of all the dishes considering their prices. The dessert was actually really good and probably my favorite part of the dinner. Overall it was just very average and would most likely not come back:( read more

One of the better Thai places I've been to in the lower mainland, especially in the Tri-Cities! The decor and ambiance are great, especially for the location in an older strip mall. Well done, interior designers! The place is quite clean and cheerful, and the service is friendly too. We shared a bunch of our favorite, normal thai dishes, family-style, and none disappointed. The spring rolls were very crunchy and crispy, and wonderfully flavoured. The red curry had a great level of lime leaves and curry. The pad thai was quite mellow but cooked well - nice and smoky. The Craving Cashew Chicken was also done wonderfully. But the hung lay curry, loaded with peanut flavour, absolutely stole the show! What a rich, delicious treat. This will definitely be a dish we order again, and show our family and friends. read more

We got take out and it was so good! My partner and I both got chicken pad Thai and an order of spring rolls. All very good and tasted fresh and very generous portions! read more

Nice interior, clean an SC the food was tasty! Service was polite and friendly. We would go back

It's ok. The service staff were friendly and the space comfortable. However the pad Thai was watered-down and definitely lacking the deep fiery heat that you'd get from large woks. We found the place slightly expensive for what it was. Not our favourite but may return because we're in the neighbourhood. read more

I got the chicken satay (4pc; $10). It came with peanut sauce. It was thicker than usual, but I liked it. It was mostly peanut butter, with a few other ingredients. The cucumber salad was pathetic. It was 4 small pieces of cucumber with some onions, in a liquid sauce (see picture). As for the chicken itself, it was good well and has some nice grill marks on it, but it was just seasoned ok... nothing that really stood out. My friend got the vegan pad Thai and that was really good. If I ever eat here again, that's what I'd get! read more

I don't often write reviews but today's experience was so pleasant that I decided to sit down and share with others. The place itself is sparkling clean, the servers were even polishing the blinds and dusting shelves during our visit! Food was fantastic and we didn't have to constantly ask for more water or tea. We got our own pitcher and a tea kettle. The servers were super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend! read more

I had the chicken pad Thai! So delicious & filling. I'll be back when I'm craving Thai. read more

I get takeaway from here regularly as it's easily my favorite restaurant in Coquitlam. They have a few selections for vegetarians but I tend to go for the Thai chili basil with tofu and my wife likes the Craving Cashews dish as she doesn't think their Pad Thai is as good as other places. I love the decor in the place too but we have avoided taking a table as it's more convenient for us to eat at home with a young boy. Prices feel fine and the staff all seem nice. read more

3.5 stars though I almost love everything and I wanna give them 4 stars. But every time I order something, there's always something missing/lacking. It's either I'm getting the pad Thai very dry or very little sauce. Or in any day I'm getting a grilled chicken with it or not grilled chicken. I just love the smokiness flavour of the pad thai when the chicken is grilled. The Satay's are always juicy and not dry. And maybe if you have a special request for a Thai food you can always phone them ahead and the owner can cook it. My only go Thai restaurant in Coquitlam or whenever I'm in surrey. read more

Was working in the area for the day. Don't live in Poco so used Yelp to find a yummy place to eat for lunch & I was craving Thai food. Came here & it was so yummy & fresh. Friendly prompt service. Ordered the red curry with prawns lunch special & got a veggie spring roll to go with. Everything was super yummy. Sorry I ate my spring roll before taking a pic--I was so hungry I could have eaten my own head. This place is great & I hope I work in the neighbourhood again so I can come here for lunch & try some pad Thai or something :D read more

Stopped in for dinner after feeling like Thai and seeing their fantastic views and pleasant decor. It did not disappoint! Even at 4:30pm when they opened there were already 4-5 tables of people. Fast and friendly service. Nice, modern interior. Delicious food! Would highly recommend everything we ordered: spring rolls Tom Kah Gah with noodles and massaman curry. Can't wait to go back! read more

Clean and nice interior, service was great but food is just ok. We ordered 2 appetizer, fish cake and crunchy wonton. Fish cake tasted like it's microwaved and the wonton is bland. For main we ordered pad Thai and shredded chicken. Probably the best pad Thai we've ever had. The shredded chicken is pretty spicy, if you love spicy food you should definitely give it a try. We also had the coconut ice cream, we probably had a big expectation because of the reviews but we think it's just tasted ok. Overall we had a good time experience but nothing really impressed us except for the pad Thai. read more

I chose this place based on reviews and it did not disappoint! The menu had one fab dish after another. It was difficult to choose what to eat. The drink menu is limited but very reasonably priced. I got the tom kha gai soup in medium spicy, fearing the "Thai spicy" level, but it could have been spicier. Great atmosphere inside. Overall a great experience. I'd definitely return. read more

The only small restaurant in Coquitlam with super tasty food. My wife's favorite in all Coquitlam.

For Mother's day, we brought our family over here to try one of the best rated restaurants in Coquitlam. With recently just having come back from Thailand, I was not only facing withdrawals from Thai food but also very snobby now when it comes to this specific cuisine. We made a reservation with the assumption it would have been busy, and we were right. The place was pretty packed with a small wait list. Initially, the service was quite slow. I wasn't too pleased with having to wait that long for our orders to be taken, but once that was done, the food came out at a reasonable rate. However, water needed to be requested versus the staff being on hand to refill. The best part was the food. I was quite impressed by the authentic flavors that it had. We ordered a variety of dishes, from appetizers like the springrolls and pork skewers, to the main dishes like panang curry, thai basil minced chicken, and the khao soi. Everything tasted good, and I felt that I left very satisfied. Though the pricing can be tweaked a bit. 14 bucks for a curry.. (Maybe I am used to Thai prices now) The food itself was worth it. The dishes were reasonably sized and so we never felt skimped out. I will definitely be back when I am craving Thai food again. Food 5/5 Value 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambiance 5/5 read more

Holee molee!!! I just stumbled upon the best hidden Thai gem in the Tri cities or anywhere else. Inconspicuous from the outside and when you walk in its warm and inviting. The staff is super friendly and the service is quick and efficient. The food!! Wow...the curry was layered with flavor. I will definitely be back! read more
