We ordered pick up for the first time today. The food is delicious, but the wait is enormous! We waited 1,5 hours for our order. It is too long. I could have made it by myself faster. The service is not existent: there are two teenage girls on the front end who is arguing with customers trying to explain why the wait is so long, aka we have a lot of problems and it is your fault. There are lots of great restaurants in the area and I would not give this business a chance, unfortunately.

I order from Thai-Isan rarely because I know the service is slow, but recently it has become inexcusable. Everytime I place a pickup order, the wait time is quoted at 45mins-1hour, but the food is never ready at that time. It will take at least 1hr and 30 mins, if not longer for the food to be ready. There either needs to be dramatic changes to the kitchen to improve the prep time or the service staff needs to be honest about the wait times. The food is good, but I avoid ordering from here because I now know the service is excruciatingly slow.

The food is delicious, that’s why we keep suffering through the service. Every few months we order take out from Thai Isaan (eating in is definitely not an option) and are reminded of why we never order from them. Called in an order at 5:29pm. 2 noodle dishes and spring rolls, nothing crazy. We were told to pick up in an hour. It’s now 7:10pm and I’m still sitting here. The 2 ladies working the counter have done nothing but apologize profusely to the 6 of us waiting at tables for our to-go food. Some of us have been here so long people are ordering beers. It’s wild how bad the service is, I haven’t a clue how this place makes any money. Please give yourself time if you’re planning a meal.

We just happened to stop here for a quick lunch and were warmly welcomed by the charming owner. When taking our order, she warned us the food is already spicy, so perhaps choose a medium and she'd add extra spices on the side - she was right! And it was a great suggestion! We tried the BBQ Pork Shewers and the Beef Pad Thai and both were delicious! The Pork skewers were a generous portion, grilled perfectly and were slathered with delicious herbs! SO tasty! The PAD Thai was very tasty, fresh and spicy and a large enough portion to share! There is plenty of parking available, and if you are a plant lover, you're in for some eye candy here! I was highly amused at the way the owner reserves her tables - she places plants all along the table!😁 This restaurant has charmed us and we'll be back again!

Overall highly recommended for the food. The service is fairly slow, so if you're going for a quick bite - reconsider. The red seafood curry and coconut rice was actually nearly out of this world. The papaya salad and crispy fried chicken were fresh, uniquely flavoured and great appetizer choices. The pineapple fried was alright, nothing special.

I came here for lunch by recommendations from my coworkers. The owner greeted me with a friendly gesture when I walked in. I’ve tried several restaurants but Thai-Isaan is in a whole new level. Their Chicken Pad Thai is very flavourful. It’s a perfect combination of spicy and sour. Especially it’s not too oily. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I tried their new fried chicken dish as well, and yes, it has to be a must try item because it’s so crunchy and delicious!!!!! I also overheard how the owner carefully gave instructions for TOGO dishes to another customer. I bet we all can see that she put tons of love and efforts to this place. Prices are absolutely affordable for good food and the services. I’ll definitely come back again!!

We came for the first time without reservations. Not busy but service is slow as they are a bit understaffed. Food was delicious - especially the eggplant pad and the bbq pork skewers! My partner liked the very hot level of spice - he said it’s enough heat without being painful haha. The coconut rice is tasty but may not be liked by some for its sweetness. Overall would order again. :) We ordered more than what we needed but it was so tasty we ate everything!

November 23, 2024

Worst experience at this restaurant. One server who had to answer phones, take table orders and deal with take out. My husbands dinner came out and we waited. I told him to eat because mine must be coming. The server did not have time to even check on us. After he was done eating, and he took his time, my food was still not even started. And they served at least 6 take out orders in that time. So I got up to leave and they said that my dinner was almost ready. An HOUR after we sat down and ordered. NOPE. Hubby paid for his meal and our drinks. Even though I said we shouldn t have to pay. Then she asked so you don t want your dish? No. Bad service ALL around. Do not recommend!

November 23, 2024

Called in to place an order without veggies and was told I would be charged an extra $5. I was a little on the fence when I read the other bad reviews but it makes sense now. Was blown away with how rude the owner/chef was. Not the service we re used to in this city. Very disappointed

Severely short-staffed, this restaurant should probably close either dining or take-out until they have enough employees.

Takeout is never ready when they say it will be. For okay food youd think service would be better.

As always the food is great - when you get it. We ordered at 5pm for a 6:45 pickup and did not get any food until 7:20. It was only when I told them to cancel the order did they make the 1 out of 2 dishes we were still waiting for. We never did get the Pad Thai. We would buy dinner here every month but its the same problem every time. So its only an annual ordeal for us. The front of house young woman apologized profusely to everyone, I mean everyone, people in front of her, people on the phone, everyone. I really cant imagine what that is like for a whole shift. The one table they had with eat in customers had no idea what they were in for. The food is great but even a 2 3/4 hour lead time is not enough. Please get more cooks, you would make so much more money.

Very slow service. Nearly 30min for appies to arrive. Food was good, once it arrived. There is no real service. Only 2 tables were occupied and the server has to be found when we wanted to order or if we wanted more water.

The only Thai place in town is a cute hole in the wall. Clearly family run, Thai-Isaan serves better than expected food at prices you would expect, kind of expensive like every where else. The chicken egg rolls were handmade and had actual chicken pieces in them, not just a bunch of cabbage. The Pad Thai was a generous portion and very fresh. My chicken sate had homemade peanut sauce with caramelized onions and every dish was served as soon as it was ready. Service was 5 stars. Mom was attentive and never intruded. Service with a real smile. These guys clearly want our business and are working hard to make a great dining experience in their small business.

Is a great little place with the best most authentic Vietnamese food I ever been to

January 23, 2024

Just a warning for people with allergies or with Celiac disease; Ive ordered several times (Ginger Delight Stir fry) which the staff has said can be made gluten free. I have Celiac disease but dont have a reaction when I eat gluten so its hard for me to know if food was made safely from restaurants. I had the thought to ask this time if they used soy sauce to which they said yes, and that they dont have gluten free soy sauce as a substitution. When I questioned them on how this could be safe for someone ordering a meal gluten free, they were very confused and couldnt provide a straight answer. We decided we wouldnt be ordering again considering they couldnt answer a decently simple question on ingredients in their recipes.

One of the best authentic Thai food places Ive been to, and Ive been to a lot. (FYI this place is primarily take out). The Tom Kha soup is the best Ive ever had (except that they add broccoli and cauliflower ) and its like $20 a bowl but the flavour... Absolutely incredible! The curries are delicious. Add coconut rice to your meal, its a game changer.

We used tolove coming here. It has a cozy, intimate atmosphere. One of the things I appreciated about it most was (unlike so many restaurants that serve up loud, dissident sound tracks,) was their relaxing, unobtrusive, utterly pleasing music! But the last time we were there the same tuneless, rackety dissidence that issues from the sound tracks of so many restaurants was now issuing from this one. We were SO disappointed. They appeared not to care one bit. I don t think we would have minded so much IF they hadn t served up those beautiful soothing sounds. I do hope someday they will see fit to bring it back! (Their stir fry stir fry is good...I ll order it again when the music is back! )

First and last time I will ever go there. Ordered 2 dishes. Padi thai and green curry. I sent the pad thai back because it was sweet. The young girl who worked there said would I lile anything else. I said no thank you. When I went to pay for the bill the owner still charged me. I asked the owner why should I pay for something I dont like and barely even touched. She said that she always gave away free food. I told her well your trying to charge me for something I didnt like. I will gladly pay for my sons food but not mines. She said I will call the police. She called the police and I sat there patiently waiting. The police came and I told them I would have compromise with the owner, but she was admitted to call the police. Police came and I paid my son bill and will never go back Just stay away

Their rice is literally never ready. Regardless of when you ask for it, they have to make it . Last time I waited over 45min and still didn t get it. Tried again today and NO RICE! They asked me to wait approx 10min today which is what they said last time but I m not falling for that again. Also, see wine list pic. For context Villa Teresa is $21.99. Oyster bay is about $23.99. And an $18 corking fee? Lol. I ll do it myself for free.

I couldn t believe my eyes when our aunt took us here for lunch! Given the quantity of flowers and plants on the floors, counters, and tables, I honestly thought we were walking into a floral shop! The service from beginning to end was fantastic! We didn t wait too long for our food. We ate quickly when the food came out because of how delicious everything was - veggies, seafood, chicken, everything! Although the restaurant was packed with diners, everyone spoke so quietly amongst themselves that we also lowered our voices. It s so rare nowadays to find a very busy restaurant that s quiet. We loved this tranquility so much!

Great food, but they always underestimate the wait times. If the owner sees this, why not send out a text to customers when their food is ready? There are a number of services that one can subscribe to, to make this easy. Your service quality and lack of accountability here is taking away from your great food - why let it?

Yes the wait is a little longer than most restaurants in tsawwassen its because they make it fresh and they are the only thai restaurant in tsawwassen..the food is awesome and the portions are huge!! An order of pad thai could feed two people..it was my first time trying the place out after hearing negative things about the wait times,so i called my order in at 4:30 and it was ready after an hour..that hour wait was well worth it!! Its hard to find a local restaurant that doesnt have any competition around in terms of food offerings and yet they dont rip you off with tiny portions and poor quality..thai isaan has quality and quantity!! Im definitely going back soon!

Amazing food!!! Im shocked at how many people complain about the time it takes, its worth the wait - just order early and plan ahead. Ours took 45 mins and was right on time. The food was absolutely amazing - Im really impressed. They actually make it hot when you ask for hot too, I love the spice levels. Definitely going to order from here on the regular. Super friendly staff too :)

December 23, 2022

It is hard to believe but the wait times have got worse! 7 pe0ople waiting inside the restaurant when I got there -- all waiting way past the time the restaurant told them to b there. In my case they said it would take 45 minutes -- it took 1.5 hours. the fellow after me was even longer, over an hour past his ETA. It appears that they prepare one dish at a time -- e.g. now they am doing Pad Thai. So there are several half-prepared orders sitting outside the kitchen. so even when you get your order, half of it has been sitting outside the kitchen for a while. Food is OK, but not worth it for me -- or others who left without waiting longer

I am editing my review because I have lost patience with this restaurant. The food is just as good as always but their service has gotten worse. I ordered at 3 pm for a 5:30 pickup and I think that is pretty accommodating. I was actually planning on them being 15 mins behind even with the advance ordering but the order was not ready until 6:30 an HOUR after it was scheduled for. This is not acceptable no matter how good the food is. Something has to get fixed. We would eat there monthly if the experience was not so dis-satisfactory. If there is any restaurant that should be a takeout only it should be this one. The food is so good, authentic and just the right flavours but they have such difficulty finding staff that the dine in experience is really frustrating. A ghost kitchen perhaps? We only order take out now.

December 23, 2022

The food wasn t ready when they said it would be , Thai food is all about freshness I ordered the lettuce wraps and it was made with frozen vegetables peas carrots corn , it was a fairly good size but they only gave me a quarter head of lettuce and then told me there was nothing they could do about it , nothing about the food should have been labeled Thai could have been made at home for five dollars

My husband and I visit here often and thier food is so delicious and authentic! The lady is kind and welcoming, listens our request to accommodate the meal for kid-friendly, suggests a good combination of the dishes, and adjust the spiceness level. However if you are rushed to get quick meal I wont recommend here. Since there are short staff, getting ready the meal takes longer than ordinary restaurant. Saddly, I witnessed some new customers didnt get a waiter soon enough so left without any order...its too bad for this delicious cuisine.

We order from here at least once a month. The food is always tasty and of exceptional Quality. If you order for pick up your food is typically ready when promised, however, like any small business with limited staff making authentic food (NOT fast food) there are times when your food will be late. If you re looking for fast food I suggest you try McDonald s, A&W or Thai express. However, I can assure you, the quality will be nothing shy of mediocre at best in comparison to Thai Isaan. The staff have always been nothing shy of excellent.

December 23, 2022

Well - very disappointing experience with this restaurant tonight. I have never reviewed a restaurant before in my life. But we are so disappointed with this restaurant. Moved to Tswassen almost 2 years ago. We have ordered there about 5 times and while the food has been good - the cook service is so bad in terms of being ready on time. Tonight we thought we would be smart and ordered at 4/30 (which is when they actually open) then asked for a 6:00 pick up. Surely this was a sound plan correct!!!! No not a chance. It s now 7:00 am - we have family over and we are not sure when the food will be ready .. Doesn t matter how good the food is when this is the service you provide. With no apology or attempt to make any offer. Obviously the restaurant is too busy and probably doesn t care about losing us as a customer it this is very upsetting and BTW we paid for everything at 6:00 when we arrived.

December 23, 2022

Bit of a disaster tonight. Food was 40 minutes late, they forgot the ordered coconut rice, majority of the order was luke-warm at best, and the pad Thai was hot, not medium. Fortunately I can deal with the extra heat but it would have been a complete disaster if it had been my wifes dish that was extra hot.

The food is good but the service is terrible.

Debated never going again after the last time when they werent even acknowledging the fact that they wasted our evening. Unfortunately its the only thai place in tsawassen. Food is 7/10. Service 2/10

Ordered take out to support local business. It s Friday night so when advised it will be 60 minutes completely understand. Arrive 1 hour later and am told 15 more minutes. No worries things happen. Pop in 15 minutes later still 15 minutes out. No problem. Am then told 15 more minutes. So 45 minutes of sitting here waiting for food with little to no apology.

When I had called, the person said it will be ready in 20-25 minutes and once I reached there, they said it will be ready in 5 minutes for multiple times which almost took for a total of 1.5 hours.

Id give 5 stars for the food as it is very good! But only 1 star for service, so a 3 star rating is it from me! Every time weve ordered, were told when to pick up, yet still wait up to an hour after arriving. Continuously being told 10 more minutes several times over. Often there seems to be only one cook in the kitchen. I understand how busy it is, but you know your business and how many orders your taking. So be a tad more courteous to those who support your business, and dont give customers unrealistic wait times just so you can take more orders.

Waited an hour for three dishes which is normally ok because good quality food takes awhile to make, however I dont think the dishes were quite worth it. Chicken satay - 4 small skewers for $13.95? The Pad Thai was a dry sticky rice noodle mess, a little spicy but not very tasty. And the BBQ Chicken was hardly enough for one.

Thai food is unreal, but it s impossible to ignore the horribly slow service.

I ve also called in orders in the past and showed up on time just for them to have completely forgotten or lost my order If there was another Thai place nearby with food that was half as good as Thai Issan, but they knew how give accurate ETA s I would go there.

Red curry was very good, although I ordered mine medium and my wife had hers mild - we couldnt tell the difference. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. Ordered 2 sides of rice expecting enough rice to match the quantity of red curry given, what I got was ~ 1/2 cup of rice each. Wasnt even enough for half the red curry. Ill likely order again in the future, but will skip the $2 1/2 cup of rice and just make it myself.

Don t waste your time. Our order (1 appetizer & 3 main courses) was messed up. The green curry was as runny as water. Would go elsewhere for Thai.

December 23, 2020

What a horrible experience! We will never order or go here again. We ordered at 5:00 (four dishes) and were told it would be an hour for pick up (which is a long time for Thai). We arrived at 6:00 to pick up. It s now 6:45 and we are still waiting to pick up our food with hungry kids at home. Too bad Tsawwassen doesn t have another Thai restaurant

Great food but last 3 times I ve ordered I had to wait 45-1 hour later than the time they said the food would be ready. It would be nice if they could call there customers and say they are running behind so that the customers don t have to come into the store and wait 45 minutes since they do take down phone numbers. It seems like that is a regular thing

Yeah, sometimes they are a bit slow, as I hear they have trouble finding staff. But the food is some of the best Thai food I ve had in Vancouver. They nail it with the Tom Kha Gai, the red curry, and the pad thai. I ll always take delicious food over incredible service, so if the pickup is a bit late once in a while, it s not the end of the world if the meal is top-notch.

Food is decent, i had the pad thai, the portion is quite big. The reason for the 2 stars is the service, i went in by myself during lunch, it was about 70% full, but no one saw me, i had to go up to the counter to ask for a menu and ask where can i sit. After 5 mins, still no one came to me, so i went up to the cashier to place my order, another 20mins passed, still no one has talked to me yet, not even a glass of water, I ended up getting take out instead. And no apologies for the long wait time?

The food is really good, so I won t say I ll never go back, because that would be untruthful and over dramatic - however, we had an experience yesterday that led us to decide we will never go back to eat inside the restaurant (take out only). We had a reservation for last night at 5:30, we were told that we couldn t order our food ahead of our reservation, so we got there and immediately placed out order. We were there with 2 young children. We were in the restaurant for TWO HOURS, and all that came was just 2 curries (7 people all ordered food), 2 people from our party actually had to leave before anything came because of prior engagements that they SHOULD have had enough time for. At the end of two hours, I asked at the counter if the food was coming because if not we were leaving, to be told they were JUST making it. After this, I will never go and eat inside the restaurant, I ll still buy food from there because it is delicious, but when you keep killing your in restaurant business, the people picking up take out aren t tipping. You either need to reduce the amount of tables inside the restaurant to 2 or 3; or eliminate them entirely and focus on people in the restaurant. OR don t allow takeout orders until after peak 6:30/7; that way you force people to come to the restaurant, and they give you more money. But something has to give, in a small town like Tsawwassen; experiences like we just had can kill a business, and it would be terrible to lose another local business over something so changeable Edited to add: Since my initial review, they have implemented a no in restaurant seating for dinner time policy and I think it s great. The food that they serve is truly amazing, and the owners really care about the people going to the restaurant. It s a shame that there just isn t enough people to staff the restaurant but at least they are taking the steps to ensure that their business can be successful and amazing. I ve never been disappointed with the food from here, and the service is great, but with short staffing in a the kitchen, no amount of amazing service could offset the wait. I hope that they are able to find someone who is trainable that is able to assist in the kitchen so that they can increase their business and fulfill the potential that is obviously there.

Besides being the only Thai restaurant in southern Delta. it is a fantastic restaurant, that has everything you ever would like to have in a Thai food. The kitchen can be quite lively, as they have great passion in what they do to make a high quality tiai food. I would recommend this restaurant to all that drive in the area of Tsawwassen, even those going on the ferry to or from Vancouver Island.

Wish I could give a 4.5! The food is so good and the people who own it are so kind. The portions were HUGE, enough for both of us to each have a meal tmr. Service was quick and everything was great. Pleas note though, this is Thai food and it can be very spicy...I recommend a mild or very mild- You will still get the spice and all the flavours of the dish, anything higher and you re sweating!

We made a take out order for about $350 (to give you a sense of size), and we did so early in the day to give them as much heads up as possible. We still had to wait 20-25 minutes after the 5pm pick up wed requested, but had a sense wed be running into this beforehand after reading reviews. If youre not on a strict schedule, I definitely recommend this place. It was some of the best thai in the west Ive had. Really really great. Super flavorful and well balanced. Everyone was really happy. Thanks Thai-Issan.

Well after hearing some pretty good reviews from friends, I decided to try this place out. I especially love Thai food. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. I ordered the Thai vermicelli pasta with shrimp(medium spicy) and my girlfriend ordered the green curry. My salad was basically bathing in vinegar, and it was extra spicy. However, I tried the green curry, and it was nice. Great flavour, and perfect spicy heat. If I go back, Ill probably order that. But it doesnt end there. The service was laughable. It wasnt even busy, and it took a good 15 minutes before the waitress came over to take our order, and also never asked us what we wanted to drink so we only had water. They served my girlfriend first but my plate didnt come out for another 5 minutes at least. Not only that, but we asked for the wine list and I ended up having to come up myself to get it, halfway through the meal. Not once did anyone come to our table to see if everything was ok. Looking at the reviews and hearing from word of mouth, I understand that this seems to be a common theme among customers. Positive notes: green curry was great, well-priced (with the exception of the wine that we never did get to order). Sorry Thai-Isaan, just one of the worst restaurant experiences Ive had since back in Nova Scotia.

Well after trying this Thai restaurant for the first time Id have to say the reviews I read on here are accurate. The food is good although on the expensive side but thats what youd have to expect since theres no competition for Thai food in South Delta. The problem is the service.

Ordered take out 2 hours prior to coming and when I arrived it took an extra 45 minutes to be ready. The young lady at the front understood my concerns and made the wait bearable that with the food is why I gave 3 stars.

Top-notch food - I had the Pineapple Fried Rice (requested it without the pineapple, which they were happy to do), Tom Kha soup and Jasmine Green Tea. All were superb, and well worth the 15-20 minute wait. Other reviewers who complain about the wait times should consider that the food is prepared only after ordering; it would take as long if not longer, were you to prepare the same dishes at home. As to spiciness complaints: know your limits ahead of time. I ordered hot which equates to medium-spicy in Thai cuisine, and it was exactly what I expected -- very spicy without bringing tears to my eyes. Most locals would probably prefer medium -- low on the spice meter but flavorful nonetheless. Every detail was just right: friendly and helpful wait staff, attractive decor, unique dishes and flatware, and an adorable teapot. Prices were very reasonable. Ill definitely return, and well be recommending Thai-Isaan to friends.
