    Green Curry Chicken
    PennyandRusty P.

    Recently, a new take-out restaurant opened on Kingsway called Twinkle Thai (in the former location of First Choice Chinese). This new Thai restaurant is the brain child of the former owners of Sticky Rice Thai & Asian Cuisine in Surrey. While Sticky Rice Thai was a full-scale sit-down restaurant, the owners decided to scale things back and just focus on take-out now. That being said, there is a small bar-like area by the entrance with 6 side-by-side seats to accommodate individuals that just want to eat their food on-site. On my first visit, I ordered their Green Curry Chicken with Rice lunch special ($13.95). The curry was quite good (they make their own sauces) and had crunchy red and green peppers, large chunks of tender eggplant and chicken, as well as basil. There's just a hint of medium spice level here that's not overwhelming. On my next visit, I tried their Pad Thai ($11.95) with chicken, tofu, carrots, sprouts, egg, and onions with a mild sauce. The rice noodles that they use here are of the thinner variety but are nice and toothsome. At the end of November, I ordered their Red Curry Chicken lunch special ($14.95) which comes with a hot and spicy sauce, big cut pieces of tender chicken, bamboo shoots, basil, and peppers. Unfortunately, they decided to stop serving lunch and just focus on take-out during dinnertime.

    Food was ok, nothing special. Tasted more like Thai and Chinese fusion. Spring roll was cold. The price was expensive for this type of food at a only take out place.

    Had a late lunch at this charming spot and was quite impressed all around. 5* reviews only from me…read moreand only when warranted. One dining companion was Vegan and Gluten Free which can be a challenge at any restaurant but our server kept up with the multiple modifications and special requests and did it all pleasantly and with kindness the entire time which is a testament to the service standard at Siam Le Bien. All dishes we had were delicious and well spiced per our individual requests. We enjoyed Crispy Spring Rolls, Drunken Noodles, Paad Si Ew, Vegan GF Pineapple Fried Rice "add tofu, no onions no bell peppers, curry powder on the side", and a Thai Spice 8* Tom Yum Prawn Soup that we who dared try it, enjoyed immensely. Prices were fair, quality was exceptional & service was outstanding. Cannot wait to return and Merci Siam Le Bien!

    The spring rolls were nice and crispy and came with the perfect amount of sauce…read more The pad thai with chicken was good, but I have tasted better. The drunken noodle with chicken was really flavorful. It is spicy, but i tend to have a low spice tolerance than most people. The deep-fried banana with ice cream was so delicious. It's been a long time since I have had one and this was outstanding. The customer service here was absolutely outstanding. The staff members took the time to discuss what they would recommend from the menu. They also recommended different spice levels and or substitutions that they offered. They checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. I would definitely recommend this place, especially because of the amazing customer service that we received. I would rate the food 4 stars and the customer service 5 stars.

It wasn't too sweet and the noodles weren't too broken. They are very generous with the tofu and quite a few pieces of shrimp.

There was a lot more pork than there was rice Penang curry - perfectly sweet with the coconut curry. We got a large rice and it was definitely the right choice to go with all that curry. Would definitely get this again Service was okay. As there's only one person working the hall, it can be hard to get their attention. Overall the price is good for the amount of food you get.

I need the number for their mango dealer because it's always so sweet and ripe! I always order pad thai at any Thai restaurant, and this is decent but the portion is on the smaller side. I would try another entree next time as I have tried many of their other dishes with rice and it has not let me down yet! Owner is always friendly, great service, I love supporting family owned local small businesses that offer delicious eats at great value! Happy AAPI heritage month!

    overall great quality food for the price! the vibe i got was that everything was really saucy -…read morelike most dishes came with a sauce you could dip/pour over your dish, and it really elevates the flavour! The sauces were also loaded. For example, the fish cake came with sweet chili dip but they added cucumber, red onion, and peanuts in. I truly appreciated the added depth of the sauce. standout is the papaya salad (fresh, crispy and tangy!), crispy wonton (hot, crispy, and meat was tender and juicy inside, without somehow making the outer shell soggy), and pandanus chicken! I have never seen pandanus chicken at a Thai restaurant before and wanted to try it out! I could really taste that the pandan seeped into the chicken! chicken was juicy, very well marinated (sweet, salty and umami mixed!) and hot. I could eat so many of those. my least favourite was the kao soi beef. maybe i wasn't used to curry sauce with noodles and preferred rice, but even then there was a strange aftertaste in both the sauce and beef. the crispy noodles were also more chewy than crisp, so I didn't really like the texture.

    We came on a recommendation and was really excited to try but was greatly disappointed. Food was…read moremediocre to say the least. Bite after bite, I could not find the zest of flavors that's distinctive of Thai food. It lacks the tamarind, lime, chili and fish sauce in every dish. Very disappointed! *Garlic Wings: tasted so plain, barely marinated *Crispy Fish with Tamarind Sauce: very crispy breading, sauce was too sweet no trace of tanginess *Tom Kha Soup: not spicy, not tangy *Pineapple Fried Rice: very plain *Pad Thai: we chose beef for protein. Beef was not velvety tender although the redeeming factor of this dish is the very al dente noodles *Pad Pak: tasted like any Asian mixed veggies *Durian Sticky Rice: tasted more salty than sweet, the saltiness failed to bring out the sweetness of the durian *Mango Sticky Rice: this dish failed as the three ingredients didn't blend its flavors together.

After that, we ordered from them again many, many times through the Fantuan app. The menu is simple. Basically rice and noodles, just as the name of the shop implies. They cook their food soooo well though! There's a deep "wok hei" flavor to their rice and noodles. They do also have a few other side dishes like gyoza and spring rolls which you can order, but basically we go to this place for the rice and noodles. This was the first time we actually dined in the restaurant instead of getting takeout. Highly recommend dining in! So good to eat the food fresh and hot. It's a great place to stop for a quicky, filling and tasty meal. You choose your base, then your protein, and then your level of spice. Pay at the counter, then sit down and they will bring the food out to you when it's ready. In our group we ordered some gyoza, chow mein, pad thai noodles and pad see ew noodles. I must have been hungrier than I realized, or else the food just tasted soooo good that I ended up eating my entire plate of noodles, when I really only needed about half the plate. This place is a "must try"!.
