The chicken satay was definitely very good, flavorful and tender. The peanut sauce goes very well with the meat. Downside was the calamari, the pieces are quite big which make it not as crispy as it would be. Our favorite was the salmon penang curry. the coconut flavor of the curry together with the sweetness make it a very well balanced item. it went very well with the jasmine rice. We also tried the mango sticky rice. the warm sticky rice went perfectly well with the sweetness of the mango. very well made I would love to visit again to try other items on the list which caught my eyes

The food was a bit pricey, but the dishes were very authentic and each tasted delicious in its own way. Many dishes come with a sauce (depending on what you order) and has big portions, so I'd recommend doing family style so that you can try more dishes. Would definitely come back again if I'm ever craving Vietnamese/Cambodian food in Vancouver! Service: Service was a bit slow - we didn't receive our drinks until we were halfway done eating, even though we ordered in the beginning before we ordered the food. It was a bit chaotic calling a server if you have any questions or want to change your order, since there's no one server assigned to each table. Each dish was brought out by different waiters/servers, so it wasn't the most organized since it takes a while to get any worker's attention. Ambiance: Arrived around 11am and it was pretty crowded/full. There was a short line but the wait wasn't long. Got seated within 10-15 minutes.

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!
