* High quality - just don't be afraid to add a little seasoning and spice! *
Ok, so while I was flying around Asia I had been wondering how Maenam's opening went and couldn't wait to get back to try it. I'm back and finally made it! Seems we have a…More »

* New Thai with promise *
I've been keeping my eye on this spot waiting for it to open, and was happy to discover the Grand Opening sign today. So we stopped in for lunch. They have been open for 3 days.
We were greeted by a very smiley Thai woman,…More »
* 3.5 star new Thai with potential *
Do you know that disappointment when a restaurant you like closes down? That was my reaction when I saw a new sign on the old City Temple of Shanghai (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) that read "Bob Likes Thai Food."

Offers a limited menu of authentic Thai dishes at very reasonable prices. Quality is normally good - but occasionally is just average - hence the 3 stars. When it is good it is really good. But perhaps 20% of the time it is just average. I really…More »
* New Thai spot *
I noticed this new spot, whose name suggested one of three things:
1) Authentic Thai food cooked by Thai people
2) Authentic Thai people cooked by Thai people
3) False marketing
I pretty quickly eliminated #2 and stepped inside for…More »
* A tease *
Popped in as I had been meaning to try this place which has been open a few months now. I was greeted by a very friendly server.
There was lots of Thai being spoken between the server and the smiley woman in the kitchen. Good sign as so…More »
* Non-specialists scare me *
Ok, during Car Free Days on Main we craved Hawker's Delight. Trekked to the end of the car free zone and were reminded that they are closed on Sundays. Argh! Looked across the street to where Sandy's Filipino used to be…More »
* 2nd strike *
Ok, I've been having that Thai hankering and it still hasn't been fulfilled. (Anxiously awaiting Maenam (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) to scratch that itch - please don't let me down!)
But today, being a holiday and all, I figured I would…More »
Ok. Tried it out today. They clearly are not firing on all cylinders yet. There was a lot of… Read more »
* Need Monti to order for me next time - if there is a next time! *
Clearly I need Monti S. to do the ordering here, because I got stuck with a very Westernized version of pad gapao nua (beef with chili and holy basil). There wasn't a single chili…More »
* "Thai" food in Vancouver - sigh *
SIGH.........Another location of this chain. I don't know what overcame me, but I actually went in and ordered even after "meh" experiences with Chili House which they also own: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...

* The search continues... *
Stopped in for lunch and tried my usual Thai test dish: Pad Gra Pow (holy basil and chili stir fry). I normally order the beef variety, but they were offering chicken or pork. I took the chicken.
They gave a…More »
* Attack of the bell peppers *
I love a good Nua Pad Grapow (Thai Holy Basil with beef). It is one of my favourite dishes. For some reason my favourite dish is under attack - more and more places are turning it into something more like a bell pepper…More »
* Warning: Bitching and moaning ahead *
Why oh why is the Thai food in Vancouver all below par?
I'm putting high hopes on Angus An's opening of Maenam (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) sometime later this month.
But while thinking about the pending…More »
* Mediocre Thai *
Popped in for a quick bite on the way down to Seattle. At the exit I hopped off in Bellingham there were not a lot of options other than the usual fast food suspects. I spotted this Thai spot next to a Subway and grabbed lunch.
I…More »
* Toto, we're not in Sukhothai anymore! *
I got my test dish of beef grapow (beef with holy basil, chili, and garlic). The basil certainly wasn't holy. It was typical sweet basil - and it was in very limited quantity - perhaps 3 or 4 pieces in the…More »
* Canadian Chinese style Thai food isn't my thing *
Combos with egg rolls and wonton soup at a Thai restaurant? Oy.....
Tried my standard test dish for Thai restaurants of beef ga prow (Beef with holy basil).
What arrived in my Canadian Chinese style…More »
