Reviews for Unchai Restaurant in Vancouver, BC

This place is phenomenal. I came here with a friend who had just recently visited Thailand, and she kept on saying how authentic... their taste is throughout our meal! I had the tom yum soup and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. I haven?t enjoyed a bowl of food tothat degree in a while. I was floored by the punch of flavors and the quality of its ingredients, from the broth to themushrooms to the eggs, everything was perfect. Prices are higher than expected for a Thai restaurant, but it is absolutely worthit for a true quality taste of Thailand. The staff are friendly and the smells are delicious. Please keep in mind that theyhave very limited seating inside the small restaurant! Read more

Great food?my fav was roti, pad kee noodles and Tom yum soup, the green curry taste plain compare to others, oh and they do have... crunchy deep fried chicken wings???? It?s small restaurant and only has four small tables that sits two to three people each,open kitchen so you kinda smelly after u stayed there for long. But definitely recommend for take out or quick eat. Plus threeof us fed pretty well and it only cost 120 for all. So it?s really worth for that quality! Read more

Best pad si ew I?ve ever had - great flavour, perfect noodles, lots of egg. The curry roti was AMAZING? BUT tried the kling... (which was their suggested item) and the green curry which lacked flavour, both were mid (nothing special). The spot itself isgood but the issue we had was with service. The servers were friendly when we arrived and we were told it would be a 20-30minute wait for a table for 2, and if we want we should put our name on a waitlist. We really wanted to try the restaurant so wewalked around for 40 minutes then came back in person to get an eta since we have not received a phone call yet. When wearrived, we came to see another customer for a table of three being seated down. They told us we have to wait for someone elseto leave which would take a while since there were only 3 tables in the seating area and they just gave one away. Obviously wewere upset, the server ended up pulling out an additional table from the back and squeezing it between the very limited space,which was nice, but at the same time, it was very disrespectful to us as customers to have to go through the situation in thefirst place.

In general, food is good, but very spicy, even the food like crispy pork on rice without a "spicy" note/ description on the... menu is very spicy. They are conservative with their ingredients, and refused to substitute the shrimp in Tom yum soup forchicken/ beef. There are 4 small tables in the restaurant, the total area for dining is about 6ft by 3ft, and it's literally 2ftfrom the kitchen stove. Better take away than dining at the restaurant if you don't want all your clothes & hair dipped in acombination of various Asian cooking smells. Overpriced for an experience like this, $22-26 is the range for 1 main dish. Read more

Gem of a spot where you don't go for atmosphere and esthetics. You come here for authenticity and quality of food. Rice to... noodle option for this Thai spot, which ranges from $19-$25. Orders are taken up front before you can have a seat (very limitedseating and many people choose takeout instead) and made fresh to order. The kitchen is all visible and open. Flavours are notwestern style where it is doused with sauce - but still remains packed with flavour. There is no bad choice here - definitelyrecommend coming here for a no frills but quality food spot. Read more

Pad SI EW was amazing! Crab meat fried rice is less flavorful, regular thai fried rice looks better! The chicken wing sold out... before 6pm, so we tried the deep fried pork appetizer, it?s tasty as well, would recommend order without the sticky rice. Read more

Very busy with limited seating having just returned. You need to order and pay at the register before sitting. The smell of the... cooking is divine, since the seats are adjacent to the kitchen. Most people grab takeout rather than dine in. Our food wasserved in takeout containers even though we dined in, but I'm not sure if that was due to their recent return to dine in serviceor because we sat down late in the evening. They've got a great menu selection that has more unique dishes than some other Thaiplaces, such as the Pad Ki Mao dishes, which use a chewy, clear, and wider rice sheet noodle that has a great bounce on theteeth.

I have been searching for a great Thai restaurant for a while and finally I found it. I enjoyed every single bites of the... food. The boat noodles was so unique and flavourful! It brought me back to Thailand immediately. They have limited seats insideof restaurant, but they do have a lot of take out orders. Read more
