    Somtam
    Lulu L.

    Been ordering from them during this covid19 pandemic, as someone who use to stay in Thailand their foods reminds me of my favourite padthai and somtam which is really good, though for some reason theirs just a bit of original taste which I normally have in Thailand, and they normally ask how spicy i want my somtam I always say 10/10 but still not that spicy. The place is actually good and the service is really nice.

    My family just had the most delicious dinner from this restaurant! I can wait to be able to dine in and enjoy such tasty food. Also we're Vegan and there were more than enough options for us.

    Stir fried eggplant with chicken added
    Raymond K.

    I found myself in the Tsawwassen area and hungry for a lunch meal. White Spot caught my eyes but I prefer independent restaurants over chains, so decided to walk by to seek alternatives. Across the street, I found Thai Isaam, a small establishment. They were relatively busy, which sass a good sign. I ordered the stir fried eggplant dish and added chicken. I also ordered a bowl of coconut rice to go along with the eggplant. The ingredients in the dish were very fresh; the eggplant, the peppers, the onions. It was a flavorful combination and I finished every morsel. The rice was a bit mushy but the coconut flavour came through. And the rice helped to soak up the delicious sauce from the eggplant dish. A delightful gem in Tsawwassen!

    Basil beef

    * Odd Thai * The old 56th St. Bakery & Cafe (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/56th-st-bakery-and-cafe-ltd-delta) is no more. It has new owners and is now called Siam Cafe & Bakery. The selection was an odd mix of the old offerings from the old bakery, many of which were wrapped in saran wrap in the display case - something that always scares me off of baked products in a bakery. So I skipped the baked products entirely. They did not look good at all. Instead I ordered from the Thai part of the menu. I had the basil beef. It was priced rather high (as were all the Thai dishes) at $10.95 at lunch time. That includes just the dish. No rice, no appetizer, nothing. Just a small lunch sized portion of basil beef. Very out of whack on the pricing. That could have been ok if it had really high quality and skill. Sadly it didn't. It was a Westernized version of Thai food with a heavy dose of bell peppers instead of Thai chilli. The basil was also not Thai basil. Basically the dish was fairly typical of a food court quality "Thai" food but served in a bakery setting and charged as if it was a high quality Thai restaurant. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/siam-cafe-and-bakery-tsawwassen?select=mx0SD2LcmIH9hsX0ZqTrlQ#mx0SD2LcmIH9hsX0ZqTrlQ I don't see myself returning anytime soon.

    Chicken satay
    Chelsea M.

    My constant dining partner and I have come here several times, always to eat in. The service is always quick and the waitresses have been very friendly! The food is good and the peanut sauce doesn't make me have a reaction (I have a slight dairy intolerance). I also have a gluten intolerance and I am in love with all the rice noodle dishes. We always get the satay to share, but the spring rolls left something to be desired (for us, at least). Come eat here! Their awkward transition from breakfast joint/cafe into thai restaurant seems to be over. It's good, come eat here! (... You can still get good breakfast here, if you please!)

    I took my aunt out for dinner and we settled into a nice outdoor table on a gorgeous Easter Monday…read morenight.. that was at 4:45 pm and an hour later our food had still not arrived. The Caesar salad which eventually came was pretty standard, and I did like the zest of the jambalaya penne. The waitress also forgot my aunt's order of mineral water. I really liked the mango mule! But to sit over an hour waiting for food is unacceptable

    A staple in the Tsawassen restaurant scene, but I'm pretty sure they have changed overs (and are…read morepart of the Gracie's Next Door team). The location is on the main strip of Tsawassen and is pretty trendy. Their is outside seating (including blankets and a small fire pit). They also take reservations which is a bonus. We came early on a Friday. My sister loves this place and I definitely preferred her dish to mine. I got their soup of the day ($6.50 for a cup). The serving and presentation was beautiful. The soup was roasted cauliflower with smoked cheddar. It was not at all what I excepted. It was brown and thick/lumpy and flavorless. They also don't have salt or pepper at the table (but their servers offer freshly grated parm). I also go a small pizza (feta, spinach, onion). That was $18.99 and again, mediocre. The sauce was flavorless but their crust was nice and crispy. The spinach didn't taste overly fresh either. My sister got their Backed Tortellini with Alfredo. Super rich and garlicy with the perfect cheese, pasta, sauce ratio! I loved her dish. Service was great. It was just ok for me.

    We are locals (Ladner) and come to Pho Fresh when we want Pho or Sate Beef on Rice…read more My favorite Pho is Beef Stew, it has a wonderful tasty broth. My wife likes the Hue Style, its a bit spicy. The Sate Beef on rice is my favorite. I choose medium spice and the flavor is fantastic with a slightly spicy heat level. It is served with a diced daikon (and sweet vinegar).

    Found this place on a whim and was surprised by the good reviews because we had a pretty negative…read moreexperience. First, we ordered fresh shrimp rolls, but they brought us egg rolls instead. She even checked with us again because she forgot, and I repeatedly mentioned shrimp. But we decided to just eat them since we had already waited so long, even though we were the only new customers and the other two tables were already eating. The egg rolls were extremely greasy, had very little flavor, and barely any filling -- basically just fried rice paper. * I ordered pho with brisket and rare steak, but only got brisket. Again, I had clearly ordered the combo. After a couple spoonfuls, I suddenly felt very sick and nauseous and couldn't eat it. When I mentioned it to the staff, they suggested maybe it was "too spicy" or that I "didn't like the shrimp paste taste." I've been eating all kinds of pho for over 30+ years, so that definitely wasn't the issue. Also, the broth lacked depth and flavor and the color of the meat was weird - like grayish blue? (see photo). * They also never brought bean sprouts or the usual pho garnishes to our table, so I assumed they just didn't serve them. But every table seated after us received them with their pho. * The pork banh mi was just okay. The pickled radish was way too sweet, and there was no cilantro. * FYI: they do not provide cilantro. The place got busy with four more tables with 2+ people and the server seemed new, but service was very disorganized overall. Food took so long and we never even got a refill on our tea. However, the place is clean and bright.

Look past the outdoor industrial space and give it a shot…read more When you come inside, you'll find a cute and quaint interior with some of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The staff is very kind and on top of things! They'll make you feel at home. I ordered the Ham and cheese panini- The ham was AMAZING! We couldn't believe it was just ham, the smoke was perfect. Juicy and fresh tomatoes and fresh, dressed greens. I loved the mustard and paprika aioli- great combination, so flavorful and creative. The ciabatta bread was light, fresh and soft! I don't always love ciabatta but I think I've been made a believer. My husband had the Motown Philly. Delicious, huge portion. Tons of flavorful meat, cheese and onions and peppers, with great seasoning and care, and tender steak. The garlic aoili was a great addition to bring it all together. 10/10 some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I will 100% make this a stop anytime we are in the area, and I highly recommend a stop in or grabbing something to go!

If you're like me with variable mobility days, this store is the perfect size to get in, shop & still leave before your too broken from a grocery trip in the winter. The vegetables & fruit are in the open but covered area & the rest, from speciality sweets, local products (I really enjoy grabbing That's My Jam & Hardy Honey) to a little deli of prepared items & meat choices. With a smaller store means there's limited options if you're shopping later at night. So do keep that in mind as well as that there is a bit higher cost to shopping here. I do that trade off with where my mobility days are in winter & distance to drive to the other grocery stores. There looks to be an enclosed seating area beside the deli (but I'm never there early enough to see if that's for customers or only staff), a pizza place just outside the market, beside (but associated with the market) is the cafe with delicious ice cream & doughnuts. And on the side of the cafe, a thrifting shop & outdoor area to sit. both buildings are friendly for all mobility aids entering but inside both places, I wouldn't want to navigate with a walker or wheelchair if it was busy. These places are smaller, so layout is tight. Cane users, just be aware you might need to side shuffle on the busier days & times. There always seems to be plenty of parking in the narrow but long parking lot. I also noticed people do park along the side road too. I can't say I ever see n handicap parking stalls closer to the market itself but there's clear ones by the cafe. Access off the main highway is quick & if you're on the outskirts of Duncan, this would be your first grocery option going into the city. If you're into randomly fun photo opps, there's some neat vintage tractors outside and the market is decorated with all sorts of things. Just be watchful of the traffic as the place is quite busy in the daytime. Last note. But for us disabled folks, a good heads up. I don't know if I randomly walk in the wrong doors or they really hide the baskets well, but never seem to notice where the baskets are placed. That fact itself doesn't bother me as I prefer to shop with my cloth bags being that it's easier for me to carry /I bump less things or people while using my cane & shuffling around. Plus, I avoid triggering my back pain pushing a random cart in a smaller space that often can be crowded. However, instead of ever being offered a basket to use or any help shopping, I have found myself to be subject of some very obvious watching. The last shopping experience (in fall 2025) was so beyond obvious that it reached the point being clearly cut off by staff while I'm trying to reach & look for items. Instead of ever just being asked to switch to a basket while shopping (this particular staff member seemed to have a lot of time on their hands & could of brought me one if they truly just wanted to keep an eye on what I was shopping for), I eventually was given really poor attempt of an apology at the till as I was packing up my paid items (apparently "there's a guy" that comes in randomly with the same bag that tries to shoplift & yet I had 2 bags, interacted with the few other staff & was thoughtfully choosing items from my list while moving at my very limpy pace...). Truthfully, I haven't been back since as it left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not the first time I'm profiled wrongly as a disabled person (my cane is my aid for over 6 years) but this was probably the worst level of assumption (& actions by what I think was even the manager the way he was talking). However, I have to say the regular market staff are always kind & helpful for any questions I have. Most offer to help me with searching for items if I'm standing too long in one spot (which I sometimes do for pain management reasons or to make sure my balance is ok before bending for something). Sometimes staff even get really excited about a product I'm looking at buying. The quality of premade items ranges from good to very tasty. I like there's an assortment of local, Canadian & international items. The market has a few short rows of random goods & treats in the far corner with international highlighted which is always fun to browse. They even support a lot of local initiatives, including selling the cookies from group of disabled bakers. Which comes full circle to how I'm confused to rate this place. So I'll leave it at 4 stars & I'm sure later on during my Island wintering time I'll revisit this market & add to my review.
