Our last minute Thai dining decisions led us to Siam Le Bien…read more Very good food. Ken was a fantastic server who knows about the gluten free entrees offered on their menu. I ordered the red curry with pork for $24.50 and a side of Jasmine rice $3.50 since rice is not included. My meal was just delicious! A clean, comfortable place with classy service. Closed Mondays and holidays.

(4.5/5) Was craving Thai food and finally tried this amazing restaurant on Hastings. We came in on…read morea Saturday evening and were sat immediately with no reso (yay!). The server was really nice and introduced the specials to us. Our group of 4 decided to share a variety of dishes and overall, everything was amazing. For appetizers, we selected the magic noodle salad and chicken satay skewers. The salad was indeed magic...when pouring the spicy and sweet sauce over the noodles, they changed colours from blue to purple. This was a very entertaining touch, although I'm not sure how attracted I was to eating the blue noodles. If you enjoy novelty and a sweet/sour salad dressing, this dish can be for you. The skewers were well seasoned and the dipping sauces were delicious - especially the cucumber one. Onto the mains - my goodness everything was so good! While the tom yum and drunken noodles tasted exactly as advertised, I was quite impressed with the crispy pork and duck curry. The pork was crispy and was an aromatic dance of flavours. It paired well with string beans and the fragrance of the fried basil. I did not believe that lychee and curry could go together, but the duck curry proved otherwise. It was intriguing to have something sweet and fruity pair so well with the red curry. The duck meat was also tender and well cooked. Overall, all the flavours of sweet, sour, and spicy satisfied us deeply and definitely put us into a partial food coma afterwards. After sharing everything, the cost was around $45-50 per person, and we had leftovers from the curry. My only comment is that medium spice felt more like mild for us so definitely choose hot if you enjoy spicy food. I would love to come back to try other items on their menu!

It wasn't too sweet and the noodles weren't too broken. They are very generous with the tofu and quite a few pieces of shrimp. Would definitely get this too Khao gra Pao Kai Dao (lunch special) comes with chicken wonton and soup. It was a bit too salty for me. Wish the Thai basil was a little more fragrant. There was a lot more pork than there was rice Penang curry - perfectly sweet with the coconut curry. We got a large rice and it was definitely the right choice to go with all that curry. Would definitely get this again Service was okay. As there's only one person working the hall, it can be hard to get their attention. Overall the price is good for the amount of food you get.

We came on a recommendation and was really excited to try but was greatly disappointed. Food was…read moremediocre to say the least. Bite after bite, I could not find the zest of flavors that's distinctive of Thai food. It lacks the tamarind, lime, chili and fish sauce in every dish. Very disappointed! *Garlic Wings: tasted so plain, barely marinated *Crispy Fish with Tamarind Sauce: very crispy breading, sauce was too sweet no trace of tanginess *Tom Kha Soup: not spicy, not tangy *Pineapple Fried Rice: very plain *Pad Thai: we chose beef for protein. Beef was not velvety tender although the redeeming factor of this dish is the very al dente noodles *Pad Pak: tasted like any Asian mixed veggies *Durian Sticky Rice: tasted more salty than sweet, the saltiness failed to bring out the sweetness of the durian *Mango Sticky Rice: this dish failed as the three ingredients didn't blend its flavors together.

The restaurant is located on a busy street and is unassuming/easy to miss so I'm glad my boyfriend pointed it out for us to try with some friends. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share. They all arrived relatively quickly and my favourites were the pad thai and the khao soi. The pad thai was fragrant and on the sweeter side which I like. I also liked the fresh raw bean sprouts on the side. The khao soi was curry noodles with tender beef and crispy egg noodles. The curry was very flavourful with a hint of heat and sweetness. This was also my first time trying curry noodles at a Thai restaurant. The green curry was filled with bamboo shoots, peppers, and a good amount of chicken. The flavour from the bamboo shoots really comes through as well. For the crab fried rice, it came with a spicy sauce and pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough to go around so I didn't get a chance to get a good taste of it with the rice. However, I scooped some curry sauce from the khao soi onto the crab friend rice and it was delicious! Finally, we tried the mango sticky rice and my goodness, it was so pretty! The rice was warm and sweet which paired beautifully with the slightly tart mango. I'll definitely have to come back to have more of the khao soi noodles!

Authentic tasting Thai takeout/delivery food in Burnaby South along Kingsway opposite side of BMO…read more Grace is the nice lady who answers their phone and runs the front of house. They cater to several delivery apps and I've seen a lot of drivers picking-up food there. We usually opt to just call-in our orders and pick it up after 20 mins since we live close. You get a 10% discount for dinner orders (pick-up) plus saves a bit of money. They have a small dining area -- bar seating by the window. Their pad thai is delicious! We've tried tofu (with egg), shrimp (plus $3) and chicken. They don't scrimp on the shrimp so the additional price isn't bad plus the serving size is quite big. We've also tried #40 Black pepper (Chicken) - it was flavorful, lots of bamboo shoots and other veggies. #57 Pineapple fried rice with chicken -- it was okay, it was a bit moist for us as we prefer drier fried rice and the pineapple chunks were a wee bit too big. Their Thai tea was great. Loved their Basil Chicken fried rice (no peas and beans for us) -- so flavourful and lots of chicken pieces that it's enough to be eaten on its own without another viand. Reheated leftovers the next day and it was still yummy and flavourful. Their Chicken Satay is good too loved the satay sauce, portion size is bigger than your typical Malay/Thai restaurant and it comes with a side of potato chips. Really enjoyed my bowl of Tom Kha Chicken (coconut milk soup), big serving size and thicker soup -- so comforting and warming to the stomach and soul. Overall, Twinkle Thai is our go-to neighborhood Thai place. Pricing and serving sizes are really good value for money plus the food is made really well. Lastly, I'm glad that they are willing to modify our orders (by removing beans/legumes bec of hubby's dietary restrictions). I look forward to trying more things in their menu.
