The nem khao wasn't really my taste, but it was still good and worth trying for the experience. The servers were super nice (and pretty!) and literally called me a baddie -- so obviously service = 10/10 I'll definitely be back for the lunch specials

This place expands my knowledge base of Thai dishes. Brian broke out from his parents' famous…read moreVancouver restaurant to branch out with his own tastes of Thai cuisine, making his theme "Thai street food". Don't look for chicken satays here - he's sick and tired of a lifetime of grilling these for customers. Yeah, for him, it's the pork. And ho boy, does he grill it well. Some dishes are 3 styles of pork, and I keep getting his pork jowls: the most buttery, soft pillowy grilled pork I've had in ages. But back to the street food part - it's more the vibe of the place: down-to-earth, 90's pop culture posters and Thai toys, a VHS player showing non-stop clamshell family movies (the other screen shows 90's and noughts' comedies and action movies pointed at the bar end of the kitchen). Sure, Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, along with your Green, Yellow and Massamun curries abound on the menu, and they're all big portions bursting with flavour, but here's what I go for: The specials. Oh, they've showcased lemongrass fried rice, lard na, clam pancakes, ohhhh... most of the time (and we go almost once a week) these are all I order and I skip the regular menu. And the cocktails! Jerry has a lineup of such unique drinks that I just cycle through the menu, trying a different one each visit. She keeps tweaking the recipes until she's got each a perfect concoction before we even see it on the menu - I keep asking her what she's working on each time I'm there and she fills me in on her latest liquid experiment. Service is great - Nancy and team are all so friendly, they know when to leave you to enjoy and when to stop by and chat. It's a cozy, social place where the wok's always fired up and just makes me smile to be there every time I go with friends or family.

This place has been in Ladner for a while, been in my list to try, and I finally had it! I wish…read morethey had a proper website. I got their Mussamun Curry (Potatoes, seasonal vegetables, onions, fried shallots, peanuts and Jasmine rice) with tofu. Huge portions, this can serve 2 portions! Tons of vegetables that are fresh and not just carrots. They have enoki mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, and what I think is eggplant. I didn't get potatoes or fried shallots, but they could be in the other half. I got it to go and they were all very friendly. This meal was $22 and really well balanced. I can't wait to try more of their dishes!

All three were unusually sweet. For Tom Kah to be sweet, something is missing. I could y taste the galangal even though it was in the soup. Dipping sauce for satay ws also sweet. The meat itself was not very hot and had no flame flavour. Pad Thai had some heat but it was also too sweet. Perhaps too much tamarind. I hope this is just an odd day. The servers were a bit off too overall.

After looking for suggestions on a good thai place in town, I stumbled upon Thai Mason. I ended up…read moreordering a choo chee curry with beef. The quantity of food for the price was great. I was most pleased with the quantity of meat in the dish. They did not skimp on it at all! The flavor was mostly good, very similar yet different from a Panang Curry. However, the entire time I was eating, it felt like it was missing something, like it just needed one or two more spices. Overall, it wasn't bad, it was good, just not great. Though this was a to go order, I still had a great interaction with the staff. They were all smiles and very friendly. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was clean and neat. Plenty of seating and plenty of table were filled! This is a restaurant that I will give another chance and try something else next time as their menu was very unique and different from a normal Thai restaurant.

We had a nice variety including Satay Gai, Tum Tang, Nam Tok, Phad Thai and sticky rice. The menu on their website explains what each item is if you don't recognize what we ordered.

I could write a novel to explain every amazing bite but you must just go experience it for yourself! And then write a review to let me know how much you enjoyed it!

There were tons of options at Maikham. The server was super friendly and helpful and talked to us…read moreabout gluten free options. I ordered the Panang with Tofu. I am not sure if it is made with fish sauce, but it tasted a bit fishy to me. The dish wasn't super fresh, and hence the loss of 1 star. Also, I prefer a bit more liquid in my Panang. This seemed like a mix between a stir fry and other Panang dishes I have had. The server asked us how spicy we wanted our food from 1-5 and our dishes were made accordingly; which was nice. I also liked that our table of 4 was given 2 wine bottles of water, so we didn't need to wait for refills. The flavor and freshness wasn't quite where I would like it to be, for me. I react to high histamine foods so I usually eat pretty fresh foods, and this meal did cause a histamine rash. For most Thai food fans, this place is alright, just not knock-outta-the-park, write-home-about good.

Red curry is a simple dish and that nice texture of coconut milk adds a rich comfort to a simple a delicious dish. When the coconut milk separates and achieves that watery consistency, it loses everything. The good news is that it's easy to detect, because a flavorless red curry with a texture barely up to the consistency of water, it's absolutely disgusting. Yes, I called and let the business know. Yes, they offered to remake it. No, I didn't accept, that's not good enough. Takeout means the need to monitor the food at the moment it goes out. It's impossible to dish up a watery red curry and not know. Not doing so simply means someone didn't care. I also don't care now. I don't care to support a business that doesn't support me. I'm not going to drive back to the store to fix two mistakes, one not cooking the dish right and two, going ahead and dishing it up so my dinner is ruined. You didn't just ruin a dish, you ruined a relationship, lost a customer. Gone. Because somebody made a choice and now I have also. Disappointing.
