Not much on decor so the focus is the food and value or lack thereof.
Service was standard for a casual restaurant serving ethnic food.
The food was certainly tasty but oh my!! were the portions small. We had to order 3 bowls of rice for 2 of us to pad the meal.

We ordered two curry dishes: roast duck and fish. Both came in 6" bowls that were just under half full.

The roast duck curry had a few slivers of duck, probably 1/3 of a duck breast, if that, about 3 lychees split in half, 3 grape tomatoes, a few tidbits of pineapple, a small pile of noodle thick bamboo shoot slivers and lots of sauce; it was really more like a soup dish.

The fish curry had about 5-6 chunks of breaded fish shaped a little wider than a chicken McNugget but half as thick, a few small pieces of potato and, according to the menu, some shallots and of course, lots of sauce.

Not likely to return. Menu prices were not sky high by any means but the value was not there. I would rather pay slightly higher prices for generous portions than $13-14 for miser portions.

My dining companion and I stopped in here Sunday night. Once we entered we noticed a small waiting area immediately to your right, interestingly what looks like a bathroom sink is just in front of the waiting area. The sink works! I've never seen a restaurant that lets its guests wash their hands literally in the dining room. There's about 10 small tables, the off-white walls are sparsely adorned with matching fork portraits on opposite walls, a wood cabinet(?) and large light are at the back area just in front of the kitchen, write-ups about the restaurant are plastered on the front window. All tables except one were taken around 6:30 p.m. and three tables had kids, nice to see young families dining on Thai. Everyone was dressed very casually, this isn't a place where you have to put on the formal attire at all.

The two girls servicing us were constantly filling our, and others, water glasses constantly. Plates were quickly taken away, and smiles were aplenty. There was no friendly banter exchange whatsoever, but that's fine as you get what you want expeditiously within the servers' pleasant nonverbal demeanour.

The sauces for three dishes that we ordered were phenomenal! We ordered Penang Beef, an eggplant dish, and a chicken green bean dish. The Penang Beef had a very nice smooth texture, a slight spicy bite to it, excellent eaten over rice. The chicken and green bean was slightly sweet within a very mild ( we asked for mild spicy for all dishes ) spicy flavour, quite discernible and unique taste from the Penang Beef. The eggplant was the mildest of the dishes, a sweeter dish with a little black-bean aftertaste. The final dish was a salad, tomato cucumber & beef. A sprinkle of a wheat-like substance was mixed in. I didn't try this dish but my dining partner hardily ate it all.

My only small complaint in eating here might be that the meat in both the Penang Beef and the chicken on the green bean dish were not as moist and succulent as I expected. The meats were too chewy and tough, a shame as the dishes would have really excelled if the meats were more tender and moist. Still the food was very good.

We paid $48 before tipping and while it wasn't dirt cheap for the size and quality of food received, we did feel stuffed with good food and we felt we got good value for money spent.

Really recommend that you try Bob's!

Finally an authentic thai place without the price. The usual lower mainland competitor chain (Thxx Hxxxe) doesnt even come close to Bobs. Try the pad thai and you'll be suprised and saying yum. Service is genuine , maybe a bit sparse but its the owner and Bob actually chats with you. The decor is a bit sparse but also genuine and overloaded with weird Buddhas and sticky red chairs. Our previous top thai hangout was on south granville near marine drive called Txlxy thai and its really good as well but bobs takes it just that much further. You wont be disappointed.

Its nothing special. Same Thai dishes cooked the same way. It didn't taste any better than most Thai restaurants I have tried. Don't expect much, then you won't be let down. There is a few Thai places down Main. I woulnd't recomend this one, but I won't say "Don't go there"
