I use to go here all the time 2-3 years ago and really loved this place. I dropped by recently and it seems like new owners took over. Food was very bland and salty, and when we told them that, they didn't really care or offer to replace the food. Won't be back.

We ordered take out on a Sunday night, now I wish I would have just cooked my own dinner. Almost any time I have Thai food I get roughly the same thing: spring rolls, red chicken curry, spicy chicken coconut soup, and coconut rice.

To start off the spring rolls were way too greasy, I'm talking gross greasy, I paper toweled them off and grease was still oozing all over my fingers. On top of that there was absolutely no flavor in the filling. I thought maybe the little dipping sauce would help, nope also no flavor, how is this possible? and $7 for 3 greasy flavorless vegetarian spring rolls, thanks for basically stealing from me.

On to the coconut soup. The menu says hot and sour soup with chicken, mushrooms, coconut milk and herbs. Hmm really it was to be hot and sour because it was neither hot nor sour, but it did have chicken and mushrooms and coconut milk along with hard bits of lemongrass. **Mmmmmm I love eating hard chunks of lemongrass**(that was sarcasm).

Red chicken curry. It was red. It was also really sweet and extremely rich and thick with coconut. yes know I ordered something with coconut in it, but I thought I would taste some of the other ingredients. Hey wait I know it taste like a watered down version of the soup without the mushrooms or hard lemongrass chunks.

The coconut rice. It tasted like plain jasmine rice. Maybe they ran out of the coconut milk because they put it all in the red curry.

The service our delivery driver was extremely nice and prompt, I think the best part of our experience.

Defiantly I will never go back.

Went here this week for dinner with my sister. We were catching a movie at 5th Ave. Cinemas and we thought since the restaurant was small, we'd be in and out pretty quickly in time for our movie. We ordered the calamari to start. It was good, crispy and chewy. The sauce it came with was nice too, but I was hoping it was going to be spicy because I like spicy food. For our entrees, we had the shrimp with cashews. The portion size of the dish was good for 4! The flavour was good but again, I was hoping for the dish to be spicy but it really wasn't at all. I think the menu rated the spiciness as two chilli peppers. It would be nice if there were more shrimp in the dish. The second entree was crispy noodles with beef (with oyster sauce). This was my favourite! The noodles were thin, crispy and not greasy. They reminded me of dry chow mein noodles except the noodles were quite a bit thinner. I suggest, if you want your order to be spicy, mention it to the waitress and I'm sure they could make it spicy for you. I think they tone down the spiciness to cater to people who are sensitive to it. This is a family run business, so the decor was very minimal. For those who complain about it not having "nice" decor, you get what you pay for and no dishes that I could see were over $12.95. If you want a fancy looking restaurant, expect to pay more. Also, for those who are picky about whether the chef is from the country the food represents, it doesn't really matter but the authenticity of the taste of the food does. Overall, our experience was pretty good and I think I'll be back.

Tried it on a weeknight with 4 people and each chose one of their combo meals to share. You get salad, satay, spring roll and one entree. 2 prices as the higher price allows you to chose the seafood options on the dishes. 3 curries tried and all very good. One was a bit on the sweet side but that may be the style of the curry. A great value with good, quick service. Not much to say about the interior as it's a small family style place. Would return for a quick, cheap dinner. Looks like they have an even better deal at lunch.

My husband and I ordered delivery from this restaurant... honestly it was terrible. We couldn't even eat most of the food we ordered. We had Thai green curry, Pad thai and lettuce wraps. The lettuce wrap was the only thing edible but did not have any spice. The green curry was sugary sweet and tasted as if it was made with cream instead of coconut milk. It had no spice so if you are looking for a dessert with red peppers and chicken then you might like it. The Pad thai was totally tasteless. Picture ketchup on top of egg noodles with a few pieces of tofu and about 5 little shrimp....just dont bother wasting your time or your money this place will not deliver any satisfaction.

This place is great. My fiancee and I live in the neighbourhood and order from here regularly. Of course it is not somewhere you want to take your parents, or a first date. But the food is fantastic and it's a great value. Try the green curry, it really is amazing. I am shocked that anyone would even say that the ethnicity of the people preparing the food is relevant. Who cares what country the cooks come from if the food is good? For my money, this is the best Thai food in town, and even if I move, I will still be ordering from here.

I think it's funny that people are trying to compare this place to more pricey or authentic thai places...obviously, you can't compare it to more fancy schmancy places because that's not the kinda place it is. For a cheap and tasty bite before a movie, this place wins. The lettuce wraps, curries, and pad thai are all big, and good.
Who cares about the ambiance? Why is that even a rating option for places you are just going for some cheap, decent food?
It's a hole in the wall that serves good food for the price. When I want better, more expensive food than I go somewhere else, and so should you.

Here's the qualifier... I am Chinese and speak mandarin. We went to this restaurant expecting Thai food... on my, that was a mistake. The food was terrible, and I would venture to guess that no self-respecting Thai would recognize the "cuisine" as being Thai. Throughout the whole dining experience, I overheard Mandarin being spoken in the kitchen, with a decidedly Beijingese accent. The food tasted like something from one of those make-believe "Chinese-Canadian" restaurants found in small towns on the praries. The peppery pork dish was dry, and tasted nothing like anything remotely Thai. The black-bean prawns was as salty as can be, with large chunck of coarse salts, with the cosistency of the road-salt I apply on the driveway in the winter.

In sum, I would say the "Thai salad" at Earl's would offer a more authentic Thai experience. Definitely a "no go".

The cook and owner used to work as a chef on one of the big cruiseship companies that sailed the Orient.

I come here for lunch because it is nearby and a better value than the Thai House and with much better service and faster. It is one of the best bargains in town. For $5.50 you get a crisp spring roll with spicy dipping sauce, a good size side of rice, and the entree of your choice.

I usually get the beef ginger and mushrooms and my coworker orders the egglplant with basil. The vegetables are very well done, not too tender and have great colour. Service is good.

I always used to like Thai House but find that the meals are small for the prices they charge. I was introduced to Papaya Hut which is practically next door and this hidden place is great! It is always busy and the food is tasty. I like the curry chicken with pineapple, eggplant dishes....if you like Thai House on Burrard then give this little place a try and compare.
