Cheap thai food available late. I live a couple blocks away and I love that I can get cheap pad thai within 10 minutes whenever I want. It's definitely not high quality but its still yummy. Friendly service, lots of vegetarian options. Quick and cheap!

Avoid like the plague.
My one and only experience with this joint was on New Year's Day at 3am. We had tried to hit up Denny's but it was packed. So my friend remembered this Thai place that was also open 24h, and off we went.
So the place only had about 3 tables full when we stepped in. Okay, no biggie. We sat down and ordered. This is when things started going wrong.
My Malay fried rice was much too salty. Also it wasn't even remotely authentic. It tasted like something you'd find in a HK-style cafe, only crappier. The pepper and other spices were basically drowned out by what tasted like MSG + salt.
As for my friend? He had it even worse. He took one bite of his Pad Thai and asked the waitress to swap it for another dish. Could it be that bad? I decided to grab a forkful. The noodles tasted like.. vinegar! Huh? Did the chef grab the wrong ingredients while hung over? Even with my low food standards (and many of my friends will attest to this), I must say that dish was the worst Pad Thai I have EVER had.
The other 2 friends in my party also weren't too fond of their food, but I won't comment as I did not personally try what they were eating.
Looking at the other (more positive) reviews for this place, maybe we just caught the chef on a bad day. As much as I do not enjoy doing this, this place is basically 0 for 2 in my books, and therefore gets the coveted 1 star. NOT recommended. -

Give it a try. It's really not bad. Pad thai is good, not ketchupy. Of anything it's a bit too oily. Curries are flavourful and spiced exactly to the degree you ask for. The portions are great, especially when it's 3am and you've been drinking and are famished. It's not bad to eat inside, it's kind of like being in Bangkok. But we usually do take out and walk the 15 minutes home to burn off the booze/calorie-fest of the evening.

Despite its odd name, 24/7 Thai is among my favourite restaurants to dine at when I'm craving Thai food at that time of day that hovers between today and tomorrow. This place is good for large groups. The menu is extensive for a 17 hour (it's actually open 11am-4am) restaurant; this leads to communal sharing. However, the dishes tend to arrive separately, some much later than others.
The mixed veggie stir-fried certainly lives up to its name. The pad thai is workmanlike.
I believe there are alcoholic beverages, but I've never been able to get a waitress to serve me one. -

It's 2am on a Sunday night, you've been drinking and want food that doesn't come between 2 buns or swim in a bowl of soup so what else is open this late? 24/7 THAI CUISINE!
Obviously you can't expect the tastiest food to pump out of a joint that's open during the wee hours average people sleep. I wanted greasy, non-pho/hot-dog/chinese/coffee food that I didn't have to lift a finger making and this place delivered. I left satisfied. -

Mediocre food - very greasy - but it's open at all the right times and has a list of specific vegetarian options. I like that.

First, I love that you are open so late. Perhaps not truly 24/7 anymore, but this I can understand (my guess is few people are in the market for thai food at 5:30am). But, you are there for me in those wee hours of the morning when a Megabite slice of pizza does not lure me.
AND, what I also love about you is that you provide me with a little known Thai dish called "radna" (often pronounced by Thai's as 'ladna')...you make it! You make it! I no longer only have to conjure up travel memories to recollect this dish. Its a wide-noodle dish in a type of gravy...Yum (often pronounced by the Thai's as, 'Yum'!). Your spicy peanut chicken also brings a smile to my face.
I certainly was not expecting rather decent Thai food to be found at all hours of the day and night. Well, done, 24/7 Thai...I applaud you. -

You guessed right - it's open all the time. So if you need some drunken spice in Fairview it's the best Thai place after 2am. (Yes, it's the only place open) I've been here with different friends and it's been average at best, but tastes good at that time of night.
The Pad Thai is really greasy and the chicken is dry. I can make better curry from a package at home. But I am not inclined to do so for people -- even if they are my guests -- at 2am after a night on the town.
My friend who frequents 24/7 Thai in the middle of the night is able to ask for "the usual" and the staff know to whip up some cold shrimp rolls and ginger beef on rice. He's a loyal customer, but I'm not at all convinced. -

Doesn't a 24 hour thai restaurant sound kinda sketchy to you? Expecting to find cockroaches and probably sticky floors from not being washed in weeks? That's what I kinda thought...until a patient who recently got a huge order from them told me they thought it was the best thai food they have tasted in Vancouver so far.
With an arched eyebrow, I decided to see for myself.
I ordered the pad thai bento box...it included pad thai, mango salad and cold rolls. The pad thai was rather good...pretty standard I thought. I really enjoyed the mango salad (green mango, mint, coriander and cashew nuts). It tasted very clean and fresh...but I love mangos, so throw that into something and I would probably like it. The cold roll was something new to me...it was egg, carrot, bean sprout and mint rolled together. Very 'sushi-roll'-esk. But since there was no rice inside, it was very light and a nice addition to the usually heavy feeling pad thai.
The flavours were very clean on my palate...and left me somewhat satisfied. (I say somewhat just because I know I can eat more than what was offered...ha ha)
So I have put my arched eyebrow back down...and have embraced the idea of a 24 hour thai restaurant... nothing skeezy about this place at all. And it seemed like the people who were running it were somewhat real thai... now I know where to go if I have a craving at 3am? -

Background: I've tried literally dozens of thai places, including those in Bangkok.
Food: The food here is consistently overseasoned, salty, and oily. Their noodle soup is awful. I would personally go with their stir-fried noodle dishes such as pad thai, as their version isn't that bad... just too oily. Their bbq pork fried rice is ok, but could give MSG-sensitive people a headache.
Service: Not particularly friendly or rude. Just ok.
Ambiance: Not particularly good, although you can sit down for a meal here without discomfort. It's such an empty restaurant most of the time, I have no idea how they keep going.
Overall: Pros - it's 24-7, filling, and somewhat cheap. Cons: unless it's 3am you can probably do better nearby. -

I'm giving this place 5 stars in comparison to all other available options at 3 am on a Monday night.
Would I go here at 7 pm? Probably not. But that's not based on the food being bad, there's just better places to go in the city for Thai and Vietnamese food at normal hours.
That's not the point of this place. This place makes me happy that I'm eating something healthy (not fast food) super late at night. I realize there's other places for late night food but practically none of them are on the west side. -

The food borders on awful. Greasy and flavourless like bad chinese food.
I had the pad thai chicken, which had one small piece of chicken. I'm not even kidding. The rest was tofu and egg. The portion was huge, but it was all noodle.
Price was $10, which was $5 too high in my opinion.
Service was friendly enough.. about what you'd expect from a chinese food restaurant late at night.
The restaurant itself is reasonably clean, but certainly nowhere you'd take a date.
I give it two stars because it's one of the few places in the city that's open at odd hours.
Note: the parking lot is pay parking, but the restaurant reimburses you. -

24/7 is two blocks from my house and it took me over a year to try it out. The name and the idea that it serves so many types of Asian food turned me off- how can they make all those dishes half way decent? I left first visit at 3 am very impressed. It was fast, cheap and quite good. I returned a week later to pick up a to go order (only took 8 minutes to have it made) of Pho and was delightfully surprised. Yummy, fast and cheap (Pho is only $7!) Definitely a place to check out late at night, for takeout mid week or with a group of friend who can't all decide on a place to go.

They do what they do, and they do it well! Yummy thai food made like I remember from travels in asia, nothing complicated but lots of veggies in their curries (and good amounts of meat too) and decent spices. Lots of options, too, and yes, they're open late -- until 4:00am. But don't let that put you off, they've got good service and a nice, unimposing space where you can relax, knowing you're gonna get some solid thai food at a great price. Recommended!
