    Overall the service was great ! Small mom and pop- food came out quickly one after another. Very clean. Even gave us cutely cut up fruit as complimentary when they noticed we were nearing the end of our meal. I love Isaan food and I was shocked to find a place in Vancouver for it, since it's already pretty difficult to find places in Portland outside of the few we have. The appetizers are what ultimately settled on 4 stars- the calamari ended up being rings and more Americanized than we expected, and our wings were not the best :( since they were over fried and cut up in a way to make more surface area during the frying, there wasn't much meat it was all crunch. The entrees were great, though! My partner ordered the pad khee mao drunken noodles. I got the thum taad which is a platter of a multitude of papaya salad, prawn, Vietnamese ham, pork grinds, etc. the thum has the perfect funky taste I look for when it's Isaan thum. Delicious!!!! Prawn was pretty good. Loved it. We also got this oyster clam omlette but unfortunately it was mainly batter crispy bits and less egg and clam. But flavor was not bad. Would love to come back again and order more items. :)

    We came on what should have been one of the busiest evenings of the year, Moms day. The place was dead. Minus the staff and their two children playing games barefoot in the corner. The place was very clean and cute. Prices were decent until the food came out. VERY SMALL portions. Missing pics are the Pad Se Ew and pineapple fried rice. Puffs were bland. The kids liked em. Pad Thai, waaaaay too much peanut sauce. It was overly saucy. Wings, dry and fried to a crisp. Pineapple fried rice was moist and mushy, literally came out yellow and tasted like curry. Crying tiger, no flavor but the sauce was good. As you can see barely anything got $18. The pad se ew was the best item. Nice smoky flavor. The staff was nice. However they forgot our utensils, no serving spoons, and were really stingy with the napkins. Like I asked over 4 times for napkins and she kept just giving us like 4 each time. There were 8 of us dining. I would never come back to this place. There's way too many Thai spots in Vancouver that do it right. Also, there was a random mattress in the back next to the restroom. Kinda gross IMO.

    If you're considering an authentic and delicious Thai food experience, this is your spot. I fell in love as soon as I walked in the ambiance is super fun! It's obvious the owners went through a lot of thought and effort with the decor. The food is delicious. There's a mix of super traditional and Americanized Thai choices. I've eaten there with friends and date nights, and it's an amazing takeout option. The crispy pork belly salad blew me away and it's now a regular part of my order.

    Pot stickers... Presentation counts

    I wanted to try a new to me Thai restaurant and this one had high marks. My experience was equally stellar. The menu has several options that you don't find in most Thai restaurants, consistent with the country, most of their specials are seafood based. Service is warm, cheerful and spot on. While I have had Panang Curry several times, this time I went for the crispy pork belly version. I appreciate their spice scale, from no spice to mild, medium, hot and even hotter. I went for mild and it was perfect for me. The wife went for chicken yakisoba, which can be a mixed choice and she was quite happy and pleased The pot stickers were good as well. The presentation stands out with the quality of the food and service. A bamboo plate for the noodles, a steel pot for the curry and a carafe of cold water on the table. It was our first visit, not our last. It is a great place for those who have tried the rest and want to try something that has the favorites and others you may not have tried yet.

    Great Thai food and a different menu than most places. You'll find a few recognizable dishes, but they specialize in unique offerings sure to please the pallets of many Thai enthusiasts. We opted for special item 1 on the menu, the Thai pork belly dish, the crispy pork skewers, and the grilled river prawn dish. The food was super tasty. We could have eaten 10 plates of the skewers! They were the best! The pork belly was tender and juicy, and the prawn dish with glass noodles was out of this world. Presentation was fabulous, with food being served on their own embossed wood platters. Ambience was cozy with decorations and photos of the good adorning the walls. Chef came out and we thanked him. The guy has amazing knife skills! Can't wait to return! Check it out when you get a chance.

    This place is one of the most authentic Thai place I've been to. It is a Mom And pop shop. they take your time preparing your food correctly. And so delicious. You can't find some dishes anywhere else but here. I love it!

    Pad Ka Pao Moo Krob

    My favorite Thai place by far and I'm from Thailand. The Thai Chef Thai Cuisine is authentic and legit. My second time here this week ever since I found it.

    Crab puffs
    Samantha W.

    Truly different than other Thai restaurants I have been to. The Yum Moo Krob (Crispy Pork Belly Salad) is flavored like Laarb with lime and fish sauce but made with chunks of wonderfully rich pork belly. The Crab Puffs are actually full of the cream cheese and krab mixture. I can't wait to try more of their menu. Also important for me when they changed owners they got new seating which is so comfortable. It makes a difference in where I choose to eat. I mention it in case someone else needs non wooden straight back chairs.

    Tom Kha Soup!
    Melissa M.

    YUM!!! what a surprise to have some of the best thai food in a strip mall in Vancouver! We ordered the crab puffs, which were perfect little presents of creamy lusciousness, the Tom Kah with shrimp, which was the best that I have ever had and I am a connoisseur! And we also ordered the yellow curry, which was so delicate it didn't even seem like curry. It was so surprising I couldn't get over it. I kept saying wow wow during my entire meal. I would strongly recommend this restaurant! The lady that is the waitresses is also the Cook and she's very sweet and the inside of the restaurant is colorful with flowers and also very sweet. You should go!

    So pretty and a good size. Yumm

    We just recently moved here and wanted to find some "good enough" thai places but never thought i would find an "as good as home" type of flavor. Every thai restaurant has their typical pad thai, yellow curry, tom yum and so forth but this place has menus that I rarely see here in the states. They're even hard to find in Thai Town California. Anyways our first visit, my husband had grapao moo krob (basil pork belly) and second visit he had yellow curry with pork belly (he's a pork belly fan) and he said they both were really good. His menus aren't too hard to find. I went for more of the "what i want to eat at home" which was juab yuan (kinda like homemade thick rice noodle soup) and kuai jaab (rolled flat noodle soup). Both visit i took kanom jeen (noodle salad with mackerel, spice level 5) home. I love everything kanom jeen so this was golden find for me!! They also had "look choop" which is a traditional thai dessert made of mung bean (yellow bean) and jelly then molded into different shapes. Traditional ways wouod be molded i to little fruits and veggies (pictures). Modern days in thailand, you'll see all sorts of fun cute characters.It's soft and sweet, a must try. Their thai tea was good too, not super sickenly sweet like what you get at some boba place. I'll definitely be a regular there because there's so many menus i want to try: yum pladook foo, thai boat noodle, yum woonsen, goong oab woonsen, tom yum noodle, and so forth!!

Our server ghosted us the entire meal.
