When on Granville Island there are a lot of excellent food choices, but one of our favourite places to get a quick lunch is in the Net Loft across from the market. Here you sit under the skylights surrounded by Maiwa, Paper-Ya, Granville Island Hat Shop and other great shops. The food at Sen Pad Thai is unassuming but street-inspired noodle and side dishes. This time we ordered the pad hai goong, crispy wings and papaya salad with a thai iced coffee and mango slushy. The line ups here are less intense than the market and the kitchen is very quick. A much calmer place to eat your meal. read more

The food is always good. I've tried about half the menu. If you can't handle hot spices stick with the mild stuff. Lost a point because the servings have been getting consistently smaller since they moved into the food court. read more

This is hands down the most amazing Thai food I have eaten in my life. Wow. My only regret is not having four stomachs or being able to live closer and eat this more often. read more

Sen Pad Thai - Superb pad siew! - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is the new food fair restaurant opened by the owners of Maenam. The food quality is good for food fair food. We ordered the pad ki mao with chicken and the chicken wings. We had the chicken wings from Maenam and thought they were better than Phnom Penh's wings but Maenam doesn't have it on their regular menu. Was really excited about trying the wings at Sen Pad Thai. They are very similar to the ones I had at Maenam minus some seasoning/ flavouring but still good. Wish their portion was more than 6 wings though. The noodles are delicious but the portion sizes aren't the biggest for the $12 price tag. Wish they use sliced chicken instead of ground chicken. They aren't in the busy food court which is nice cause i don't like crowds and this just feels more civilized. Hope they survive the expensive Granville island rent. They need to do more advertising and need more signage at the storefront as everyone walking by doesn't know what kind of restaurant this is. read more

Standard dropped drastically since the move to the food court. Most dishes are done in batches now as compared to individual orders before the move from across the street. Same prices but done in batches now. Wished they would have stuck to the same way of cooking as before. They've doubled in staff so I do not understand why items weren't freshly cooked individually especially since prices were the same as before. That was what stood out for Sen Pad Thai from the rest of the competition, now they are just another typical food court stall. We used to come here every week but we won't anymore. Really disappointed read more

Prawn pad thai delicious! I would certainly go back to this little spot with excitement.

One of my favorite Thai spots when I come to Gransville Island. They have relocated into the food court area, but I'm always disappointed when they used to run out of the clear sheet pad see ew noodles. It taste so fresh, so clean, gives it the slippery texture that bolds well with the chewy meat and crunchy broccoli. The pad thai is also delicious. They used to serve it with pork belly which was the best thing ever. Now they dont, so it's not as good. Obviously, pork belly elevates any dish. I haven't tried anything else but do love their spicy condiments that I drench my noodles in. read more

Good thai food at this stall in Granville Island Food court. Had the Pad Thai and crispy pork belly on rice. Noodles were made when ordered, very fresh. They give you a buzzer to hold on to until your food is ready. Price point is great and portion is filling. Would definitely return to try other things. read more

Sen Pad Thai - Pad Thai box and Crispy Pork Belly on rice - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Discovered this place in the market place at a Granville Island. Essentially a fast food set up in a food court. It was the first day opened since the Covid lockdown. Ordered the basic pad Thai with tofu and egg costing $12. Served in a rectangular cardboard box. Generally, pad Thai is either on the dry side or somewhat saucier. Their pad Thai was saucier. I was really impressed by the strong taste of the pad Thai which was outstanding. Probably some of the best I have had and this from a food court outlet. The bad thing was I had to share the dish with two other people. I didn't get enough and was left wanting more! I will be going back soon and this time around will NOT share the pad Thai. read more

Great service. The guy behind the counter was super friendly. I ordered the pad Thai with prawns. Portion size for $15 is about average. The flavor was on the sweet side which I wasn't too crazy about . Actually I found it a little too sweet for my taste . I was told by a friend that the pad thai here was fantastic but I didn't think it was. I also ordered the papaya salad. That was awesome. It was spicy and crunchy and had a great fresh flavor to it. I really enjoyed it. read more

Went back again after the location change and food was much improved. Maybe a proper kitchen helped a lot. Some dishes were really salty though, would ask for less salty specifically next time. read more

Very greasy. Tried the pad siew beef as their cashier recommended it. The meal itself was very greasy, the big noodles were not very appetizing. Not worth the price. read more

Was so excited to try since the reviews were all glowing. It's honestly not that good. It was so saucy and the tamarind flavor was overpowering. Not worth going out of your way for. read more

One of the best Pad Thai and every menu we have tried is outstanding. Thai authentic taste and good proportion. I'm Thai and I recommend! read more

Ordered for takeout. Pad siew pork delicious - noodles were nice and chewy and the flavor, authentic. It kept well eaten an hour later. Pad Thai- I thought the noodles were a little on the dry side but it might have been because it wasn't eaten right away. A bit too spicy for my liking as well. Happy they used tamarind and it ketchup. Chicken wings - amazing. Loved them and should have ordered 2 orders ! read more

What to eat? Go for Thai on Granville Island! Come here!! It's the best with just the right spice. I had the classic Pad Thai noodles, you won't be disappointed. Fyi, It gets packed (standing room only) with no where to sit at lunch time on weekends, and It's in the Net Loft building across from the Market. Wasn't this the Thai place in the market a couple of years ago? read more

Without a doubt the worst pad Thai I've had in my life. Priciest as well! We waited over twenty minutes for it to be ready. Luckily they give you a disc that alerts you when it's ready so at least I was able to walk around the market. I was handed a box dripping with sauce. Inside was a soggy mess of noodles absolutely drowning in sickly sweet sauce. Minimal tofu but decent amount of small shrimp. I can only assume they are getting by on onetime tourist visitors. Save your money and go elsewhere, or at the very least, steer clear of the pad Thai!! read more

I had the worst experience with the manager today. Came here to order food and when asked what was cooking on their stove. The manager replied rudely and said they're called pots and their empty!!! Wtf?? Okay ?? Next he then pointed to a little small sign board and said, hey that's called a menu over there go over and have a look!!?! Very inappropriate and made everyone waiting uncomfortable. Don't ever spend your money there! We will never come back and eat there again! Big mistake to treat customers that way! Worst customer service ever and rudest "manager" ever! Don't like your customer service job so then don't work there! read more

Ordered the red curry - simply awesome! Huge portion too!

Best curry. Period. I went to Vancouver a year ago and I still can't get over how great this place was

It's quite good. A bit on the expensive side with small portions, but it is Granville Island with the tourist-level pricing. However, the taste feels quite authentic. Gotta love their fish sauce. The pad siew with beef is probably their best dish. I wasn't a fan of their pad thai. The one at Longtail in New Westminister was better. read more

0-1 star for their Pad Thai. It was my first meal in Vancouver and it was really disappointing. It was way too sour (before squeezing lime) and the traditional pad Thai taste was not there. read more

The pad siew pork is delicious. Soft rice noodle topped with minced pork, vegetable and crunchy fried onion. read more

I got the Pad Thai tofu with no egg. At fist it was delicious. But less then half way through it started getting really gross. It made me gag. Would not recommend : ( read more

Very very very, incredibly, terribly BAD pad Thai. Just got the $12 veggie pad Thai and it was a soupy mess that looked like pig food. You would think it would be decent as it's survived in the GI market, but strongly recommend avoiding this sham at all costs. Ate 3 bites before the noodles were too mush to even be taken seriously. Hate to tear down a local business, but they have no reason to be serving this kind of food to tourists. Terrible example of Vancouver food. read more

Delicious authentic pad Thai. One of the best in town and definitely a go-to when I have a Thai craving. Cute little cafe in the net lofts. I haven't tried anything else on their menu because the pad Thai is too good!!! read more

A casual take out Thai food right in the middle of the stores in the loft. We ordered the flat rice noodles and the pad Thai. Pad Thai was meh comparing to the flat rice noodle. The flat noodle was very flavorful and tasty. Even tho it was not authentic Thai food, but I will go back for it. Just wish they used less oil. Next time would love to try the wings and banana roti. Oh and they have Thai ice tea, that's a bonus. read more

As a local living not in the downtown area, I hardly go to Granville island unless we have visitors. But when we do make the trek down to Granville island it's most likely for food. We recently found this Thai place at the loft area across from the market. It's a sister restaurant of maenam freebird and another place that I can't quite remember right now. Anyhow it's amazing! I've only tried a couple of their dishes but what we also order are the crispy wings! Man are those things packed full of flavour! They come with a side of a citrus-ie dipping sauce that's just so amazing! The wings are always friend fresh and super juicy! It's a must get here. I've also had their pad siew and the curry (it was green curry with chicken the day I went) both have such great flavour! The pad siew comes with different choices of protein (chicken pork or beef) and packs a bit of a kick. I love spicy food but my husband who can't take too spicy thinks it's a little too spicy (but didn't stop him from eating it) and gave up 3/4 of the way. The curry was very fragrant. With lots of toppings and chicken. The only complaint here is that they use the same boxes for all food and the rice was kind of drowning in curry. If they had plated it on a plate then it would've worked out better I think! All in all a very great place to grab a bite of your in the area! read more

Good food with lots of flavor. Wait time is a bit long. Good place while in Granville island.

Hello I am Jef Choy... This place is the best food you'll ever eat from a take out window, and the best food on Granville Island. I suspect there will soon be line ups so I would enjoy it while you can. I regularly eat at Maenam, which is the reigning champ in terms of Thai food in Vancouver. It's a fancier place though, so I don't go as often as I want, this place gives me another option which is wonderful. I had the Pad Thai with side stripes which was delicious, fast, and for the price and quality of food, I found the portion size large. It's a dinner size portion for lunch. I would not consider it food court quality, it is much better than that, so I don't mind paying for it. We also had the papaya salad which was very fresh and flavourful, I usually am not a fan of this salad, but this one was special. Granville island is full of mediocre places which appeal to hungry tourists. Sen Pad is way above this which is awesome, it's something I'd recommend to anyone who visits, and it's a great reason for locals to reacquaint themselves with Granville Island. read more

Everything was delicious! It was our first time eating there and the lady taking our order was super nice and she helped us choose exactly what we were looking for. Like thai food? This is the place to go. Congratulations! read more

Thank you for adding this gem to Grandville island!!! So authentic, you feel like you are in Thailand! The pad siew is phenomenal and I love their chicken green curry! Had the wings and I thought they had good flavour but nothing special, so not my recommendation. I also like the pad Thai, very authentic if you like that dish I would try it. read more

Awesome pad Thai! Little stand in the loft building across from the public market. I had the regular pad Thai with egg and tofu and it was amazing!! read more

One of the best Thai food in Vancouver bar none at this hole-in-the-wall, impossible-to-find-parking Granville island location. I would seriously try and go every day if it wasn't for all the frustrations and anguish caused from trying to park anywhere remotely near this area. Crispy Pork Pad Thai is a solid choice, as well as Holy Basil Beef/Chicken. They really hit a home run with this place. Just let your ego go, park at Kitsilano, walk over and be happy that the trouble was worth it for the delightful meal. read more

The pad thai was good but there's not enough wok-flavor. We also ordered the dry ribs as recommended by the staffs at Fat Mao. Our dry rib was undercooked and I had to return it to the counter. They did make us a fresh order. read more

amazing vegetarian pad thai! always my first choice while on granville island. they even served us right at closing time!

Been to a few Thai restaurants around town and this is by far the best pad Thai that we have had. Also had the Pad Siew Beef which was also delicious. read more

I really wanted to like this place but ugh. Came by about half hour before closing and although they were obviously trying to wrap things up, they accommodated my order and were very pleasant. The food tasted like it had been made days before and then reheated. Chicken tasted borderline spoiled. Noodles greasy. Curry sauce had grease slick on top of it. The food left both of us feeling queasy and we won't be back. read more

ordered through SkipTheDishes and I will never order from here again. Pad Thai noodles stuck together it was one gooey mess. Green curry was not rich at all very watery consistency lacking any coconut milk. the deep fried chicken (3 pieces) was literaly deep fried chicken skin with very little meat. Roti was the worse I've ever had as can't even chew through it. read more

Hands down, the best Pad Thai we've ever had! The Papaya salad was amazing as well. The staff was incredibly friendly and even offered us a complimentary smoothie when we ordered something they'd just run out of. read more
