Reviews for Boa-Thong Thai Food Restaurant in Vernon, BC

Having lived all across Canada and having visit Thailand on 3 occasions I do not consider myself to be a chef by any means... however this was the worst Thai food that I?ve ever experienced in my life and the conditions of this restaurant and the service was atrocious. I don?t know how long of a review I?m allowed to leave but I will tell you that they even made a mistakeon my change because I was not going to leave any gratuity for the services that I was given and they short changed me. Thetable, cutlery and glassware were all filthy the windows were disgusting with dirt and grease, there was a horrific smell insideof the restaurant, the waitress that served me had zero personality and even when she came past my table with a water pitcher inher hand she didn?t once fill it until I asked her to do so. I ordered the cashew chicken which probably had five times theamount of salt in it and yes it was a lunchtime plate but the poor portion would only be good for a 90 year old or a smallchild. My lunch was $15 and I upgraded for $2.75 to include a fountain drink and a very small over cooked spring roll for agrand total of $17.75 all in. I did not wish to leave a tip and I paid with a $20 bill and she gave me $1.70 back for my change. When I asked her she pretended that she either couldn?t hear me or didn?t understand me. Time of lunch was 1:22 pm on 10.14.22just in case anyone wants to even look into this. I took a lot of pictures if anyone would like to see them. Please feel freeto check out and you?ll see that I?m usually not this hard on anybody or any place but this was by far the worst service I?veever had in my life post pictures on my platinum Tripadvisor.

Friendly and prompt service. Comfy atmosphere and delicious food. The lemongrass chicken was my favorite.

The food was fresh hot and really good. Highly recommend this place. They also sell jewelry that is hand made in Thailand.

Outstandingly delicious! We each had a very vegetable oriented entree and we shared a PAD Thai. It was all wonderful! We will... go back for sure! The wine is also very reasonably priced. Love it! Read more

Haven't been for many many years but had amazing memories. Went for lunch with my mom today and honestly, I wasn't that... impressed. Restaurant looked exactly the same as it did 20 years ago, with the green carpet. Definitely needs an update. But whocares about the decor when the food is good right? We got the pad thai, the black bean beef somethingrather and a green chickenstirfry type of thing (sorry no way I can remember the names). I remember Boa-Thong's pad thai as legendary from years ago, buttoday it was... it was okay. It was sweet and lacking in depth in my opinion. The sauce was a little thick. Honestly, not thatgreat. Not bad, but not great. The chicken green/yellow sauce dish was actually quite good. Had the flavours that I rememberedwith Boa Thong. No complaints on that dish totally worth. The black bean beef dish however tasted STRONGLY of teriyaki asthough someone went to the store and poured on teriyaki sauce out of the can on it. It was honestly disgusting. The servicewas... good I guess? They took our order quickly and got our food quickly... but the waitress was sort of just distant and cold.No smile, no emotion, and we sat at the table for 5 minutes after getting the cheque because we didn't know we had to go to thecounter to pay. This restaurant had a 'best restaurant in the okanagan in 1998-2004' awards sitting above the pay counter, andI can see why they didn't get more awards since. Honestly... Not really impressed anymore. Only 1/3 dishes hit home, the serverdidn't exude friendliness, and the decor was dog. We were there for lunch mid summer but there were only two other tables thanus, not surprising. Read more

I haven't been here in years but my partner and I decided to try it again. Really delicious, varied and piping hot Thai... specialties came out of the kitchen promptly. Great flavors and all of the curries were very different. We loved the LemonGrass Chicken! Our favourite. We talked to the chef- he is Thai. We chatted and talked with the excellent waiter about out tripsto Thailand. -Great service. -Great food. -Great value. Read more

Amazing food and amazing waiter. Although I am not Thai, but the thai food here was definitely some of the more authentic ones.... The waiter who severed us was also very fun to talk to. We arrived a bit late and they were still happy to extend the hours forus. Read more

Excellent service. Great food. First time I dined here was around 12 years ago. Still the same great food and service through... the years. The decor is a bit a bit dated but adds to the charm. Not bad for authentic Thai in Vernon. Read more
