The name says Thai Garden, but the food doesn't taste very "Thai" to me. So if you're looking for authentic Thai food, this may not be the best place for you. But for me, who just wanted a tasty meal at a reasonable price, this place served the purpose last Friday. The servers, while not too chatty, were always nearby and easy to find if you needed anything. This is a place I will probably go back to if I am in the area again.
We used to eat in with our ebook coupon here and it was decent Thai "flavored" food - good portions, yummy and we were always full. They could work a bit on their ambiance though. Everything in the restaurant looks a bit run down and in desperate need of a facelift. We recently got their flyer in the mail and learned that they do delivery! Has to be a minimum of $15 and within 5 kms! So we ordered a Thai Chicken and Curry Beef and was told that the delivery would take 45 mins to arrive. Around 20 minutes later, our doorbell rang and the food had arrived! I was very impressed and our order was piping hot!! Thai Garden is not authentic Thai, cuz you can tell in the flavour of the dishes and most of their staff are Chinese, but for a local neighborhood restaurant closeby, I'm quite happy! =)
An awkward location, yet on a saturday night it was pretty happening.
Upon entering, we were seated within 5 mins- Albeit our table was small and could barely fit our party of 5's eating plates. We were nonetheless seated promptly.
We ordered pineapple fried rice, prawn curry, pad Thai and seafood curry to share. The plates the dishes arrived on were huge! But the curry dishes have the same sauces and fillers just different meats. The only thing I really liked was the fact that they quick and very attentive.
The taste of the food wasn't bad. However, it's something I could have done at home with store bought sauces. Granted you get what you pay for. This Thai place is practically the only Thai restaurant in like a 5 block radius. I still expected a bit better. For our dishes we paid about $45 not including tip.
Service here is great! But if you're here because you want to try really good thai food. I would choose another place.
And little else. Oh it does emtpy your wallet. For over $30 we got one appetizer(spring rolls that taste the same as the ones you but at Costco) one curry, one pad thai. Oh and rice, that was extra, you don't get it with the runny curry HUH? Curry passable but nothing spectacular. The pad thai here was never outstanding but it has gotten worse over the years.. They use the wrong size noodles and there is no "sauce" of any kind to speak of, just red colour, two green onions, no bean sprouts I could see and a tablespoon of peanuts. No heat either. Blech. Pretty much our list trip here.
Oh and my friend acutally had a nap while waiting for the service. It was that slow.
This is the sloooowest restaurant we've ever eaten. They had full staff working on Saturday night but not enough kitchen staffs apparently. The restaurant was only about 60% capacity on Saturday night (around 7:15 pm). We ordered Chicken Lhad Na and Beef Panang Curry. The food arrived 50 minutes later, and to make matter worse there were 2 parties that arrived after us received their food first. During our wait, we chatted with another diners sitting next to us. They told us that they also waited for a long time and their padthai was terrible. Finally our order came and the beef panang was just ok nothing special and the Lad Na was ok but not authentic. The food is border line bland and nothing compare to URBAN THAI or THAI HOUSE in Metrotown. Luckily we used the Entertainment Book Coupon. Without the coupon, this place is simply not worth it.
My wife and I are new members to Dine Here though have eaten in many places in Vancouver, the surrounding area and in many countries. We love Thai food and we recently moved from downtown Vancouver to Coquitlam. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and prices at this place. The ambience needs attention as it is not of a typical, initimate Thai restaurant; it is more like a canteen. Despite this we would most certainly give it our thumbs up with the lovely food here. Easy parking outside too.
Went there for lunch with a friend of mine and it was a decent value for the food that we got. The portions weren't huge (I didn't have to have half of it packed away like at most places) and it was nice and fresh tasting. The server was very polite and the food was fairly prompt.
The next day, I went there for dinner with my husband and it was a WHOLE other story. The server was VERY rude and abrupt and kept interrupting us, I was nearly showered with someone else's wine order, and the food tasted blah, even though it was almost the exact same order that I had placed for lunch the day before.
I haven't been back since and I'm debating if I should venture out there again....
i come here mainly for their coconut soup, you can order it spicy, medium or mild, it has so much flavour because of the bay leave and the lemongrass thats in it, the chicken thats in it needs to be cooked more though, i also like their lettuce wrap, it's only kinda messy to eat, so make sure your hands are clean, their service is fast and friendly. and the prices are fair, ample parking.
I personally found the food to be quite mediocre at best. The Pad Thai tasted like the Kraft version of an authentic Pad Thai. Tasted like they used ketchup for the sauce. For the best Thai food in the city, try Chada Thai in Coquitlam. Real, authentic Thai food. The best I've ever tasted.
We went to Thai Garden for dinner on Friday night. We arrived around 7:00pm and the place was pretty much empty. This should have been our first clue. We were hungry so decided to give it a shot anyway. We ordered the Prawn soup, which had very little flavour except for a slighly off prawn flavour with only a couple of prawns in the soup. We then ordered the Green curry, Pad Thai, and Brocolli in oyster sause. Neither the Curry nor Pad Thai were anywere near authentic. The Pad Thai was tomato based instead of tamarind and the green curry had so much corn starch it had the consistency of concentrated mushroom soup. The flavour for both was bland and uninteresting. The brocolli was the only positive note as it was fresh and well prepared. The ambiance was cold and somewhat sterile. It did not feel like a place to sit and spend time. There are so many other quality Thai places in Vancouver, I would give definitely give this one a miss.
Have been here on several occasions, both for lunch and dinner. The lunch menu is a great deal with large plates for about $8.00. The spring rolls are delicious; however, the rest of the menu that i have tried is not great. Having tasted real pad thai and pad see yeow in thailand, this food really does not cut it. Their dishes lack spices and they use the same kind of noodle for every dish. I have asked and their pad thai is made with ketchup (you can definately tell). Overall, if youre not picky, the lunch menu is a good deal, and the servers are very accomadating.
This is the best Thai Restaurant that we been in the last 8+ years. My wife used to live in the area therefore, we went there very often. The food are excellent such as Tom Yum Gon, Noodle salad (order every visit), Pad Thai, Appertise Combo (Great selection of everything, and Green Curry (Order everytime). We also enjoy their service very much. Eventhough we are living in Vancouver area, we often drive there for the Thai food. It is hard to find places that could provide both good food and good service with a reasonable price all at once. Good luck.
I read the two reviews before mine before going there..I was happy with the food and the service was always polite and courteous. That was just wonderful. However, I kinda wish they had paid a little more attention to us so we didn't have to ask them to refill our waters a few times and forget our rice. Overall, it's pretty good and I'd go there again, especially with the price of the food. You definitely get a good deal with the food and price. But I'd still rather go to Chada Thai for Thai food because the food just tastes richer and more flavourful than Thai Garden. The curry's a little more watery than I'd like and a little less flavourful; however, I'd definitely go back to Thai Garden when money's tight and I want cheapish but decent Thai food. :)
This restaurant serves good food with excellent service. Judging by the good crowd at lunch, others think the same. The menu is the standard Thai fare, with reasonable portion sizes. For the price it really is excellent value. I plan to return for dinner.
