Going in late at night with a couple of friends to have our late night meal after the game, I decided to come back after I've had their food on the weekend for takeout, and my star rating has gone up for this place. Why, you ask has my opinion…More »

Looking for another 'hole-in-the-wall' joint to add to your list? Some good Thai to boot, well then this little one joins my list after going in here for a snack. Was not really craving anything while walking Main Street, and just saw this place…More »

Out of the three locations I know (Cambie and Richmond the others) this would be my favorite one of the bunch, maybe it is the seating arangement, or just the decor as it looks more upscale than the other two. Being here many times, I find that this…More »

The oldest location of the chain now, nicely located on Cambie Street, once you enter here, there is a nice little waiting area with a ton of polaroid shots attached to the wall of old patrons who have been here. Sure the colors from the photos are…More »

More of a 3.5, but Yelp doesn't have a middle rating system, so nonetheless, this place is pretty good. Where is the good you ask, well for starters, location is really good, around the Broadway and Cambie area, where everything seems to be popping…More »

This is one of those places that seems to be mentioned when talking about this type of food, and amazingly enough I have never heard of this joint. Mentioning this to my friends, they said that they have been going here since they were young, and…More »

Just drive north on North Road, and you will eventually hit this little Thai restaurant, probably the only one in the area. I have come here for lunch acouple of times, and the lunch specials are cheap. If you need some Thai curry, you can pick from…More »

An empire, like that of Thai House, with their chain of Thai food should have had this market cornered, yet when the quality dips and the food is lackluster, well even I cannot vouch for you. I have come to this destination ever since I was young,…More »

I have eaten at this location many times before, and as of last Friday due to service I was outraged. Me and a friend were looking for a close place to eat while we were at Metrotown shopping, and decided to use the 'Entertainment Book' Android…More »

I haven't been back in awhile, say 2.5 years, at least, but I always remember places that serve me good hearty food, and this was one of them. Back before my Yelp writing days, I somehow stumbled along to this place with two friends, and had some…More »
