I always saw the good reviews about this place. Finally, we made it there. Really friendly service from a lovely thai girl who gave us a warm welcome. Really delicious food, fast service, nice portion with good price and a nice patio outside on a sunny day. Thank you very much again for a free rice for the girls and a free thai tea for me, very kind of you! So this is our favorite thai restaurant in New Westminster

It's in a food court that's kinda hard to find on foot. We followed some people around a poorly lit sidewalk across some train tracks to the back of the Quay building. Whoever is in charge of making this place accessible, needs to go here at night and tell me that it's obvious or safe for those who have never been before. Get some lights and signs might help, bring business in.

So glad that we found this Gem for Thai food. Taste was amazing and the proportions were pretty good. We would definitely comeback to enjoy the taste. Today we came here with no expectations just to have Thai Food, but definitely this was amazing choice. We had pad Thai and Basil beef.

Longtail Kitchen is one of my favorite spots for pad thai! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve ordered from here, and it’s always amazing. The flavors are spot on, and the balance of spices is perfect every time. Whether I’m dining in or getting takeout, it never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Such a great experience!! Great tasting food, quick eat and reasonable prices make this restaurant our new favourite!! The outdoor patio allowed our pups to enjoy a little snacky snack with their mama after a long nice walk on the pier. Great service and the atmosphere are on point 💯

Cute little shop with a nice outdoor seating area, good food, good service. Can't here one afternoon and literally everything on the menu sounds fantastic. They were sold out of the squid dish that sounded most appealing to us. We ended up ordering the mee gorang and a couple of beers. Sat outside and the view was lovely. The mee gorang was really good, I would definitely order it again! They have a self serve water station and a few kitchen items to buy in their market. I use the same Thai tea they will here at home, and the fish sauce as well! Overall great place, I would love to come back to try more things!

Really good wings that were crispy, salty, sweet, not very oily. Delicious tangy pad thai, the prawn was cooked perfectly. And the chicken was very flavorful. Service was very kind. The only gripe i would have is that the cook time was 20 minutes, but they were busy, and for good reason. 100% would recommend.

It has been a long time since I came here. The place does not look as nice as it used to. What happened to all the tables? Only three old yellow tables. The space has room for many more tables. The owner should consider a renovation. Everything served in disposable containers.

Best restaurant in New Westminster. Their food is art. Everything on the menu is amazing. Gluten-free options. Very spicy and delicious. And nutritious! Honestly Longtail Kitchen is better than every restaurant in the entire Vancouver region, and is better than much more expensive places, too. This is what food is supposed to be.

There is a review here from some guy named Hunter. Clearly he never went here and should be banned for attacking all the local businesses he reviews! My wife and I just ate here again for what must be the 40th time in the past 5 years! The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is good and the food is the closest thing to authentic asian street food I have found in bc! If you want to experience asian street food, this place is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!!

I ate here because it was close to the hotel and THEN was advised to check out the best restaurant in the market! The food was well priced with fairly large portions. The ingredients were fresh and the flavours on point. The market is cute and I enjoyed eating on the patio that is right on the boardwalk. Would recommend!

Been here and few times and always loved it but ordered today for the first time in awhile and have to say that this time I was disappointed. Is it me or have they totally changed the Pad See Ew - it came with ground beef (not good) and seemed much different than last time I ordered it. This used to be my favourite dish - no longer. The roti was as good as I remember but can t get over how disappointed I was in the Pad See Ew beef. Not sure I ll be back sadly.

We ordered prawn pad Thai, gailan and pork, roti and the chicken wings. Everything was amazing and had such a good combination of flavours. The portion sizes were impressive and great value for your money. But our favourite dish was the chicken wings. It reminded me of the famous wings at Phnom Penh. Cant wait to go back again and try more items!

I fell in love with this place on my first visit. Ive tried gailan with pork, pad thai, pad see ew beef, fried enoki, daily curry, and mee goreng. They were all amazing. The place is clean and people are nice to the customers. I once came here three times a week. Their limited business hour is thw only flaw.

We ordered delivery from Longtail Kitchen. The food was steaming hot and delicious! The wings were crispy, tangy, salty, sour, sticky, and overall perfect. We both went for the drunken noodles - oh my gosh - the vegetables were so fresh and not overcooked, the noodles were perfect, and the flavour was so rich and satisfying. Soul food - a perfect meal.

We love eating here, however on our last trip, we and others were turned away at 11:25am because the cook was eating his lunch and they werent ready for customers. Strange! Unlike a lot of Chinese restaurants, the cooks will eat when the rush is over and not when paying customers are knocking at your door. Besides that when they did open, the food was excellent as always. My basil pork was a little saltier than usual but tasty. Unfortunately because they opened later, I had to wolf down my lunch. I only parked for an hour. Next time, come at noon or later.

Very hard to find seating and the portions are quite small for the price. Considering patsara Thai is a 10 minute walk from here and has a much better seating area and a bigger menu and is cheaper for bigger portions we will most likely not come back here. Food while not bad was nothing to be blown away by either.

Fabulous! First time trying this spot - one of the few (and best rated) Thai places in New West. The roti was a carb lovers dream, soft and pillowy, with a crunchy peanut chili dipping sauce. Phad Thai that was super saucy + fresh lime wedge to garnish atop Chicken wings were crispy, salty, good with a dipping sauce that at first taste blew me up with heat, but after actually trying it again with the wings, it was just right. Lastly, the spring rolls were a healthy size set of rolls served with a traditional sweet chili sauce - love!

YESSS! Full flavour take-out with excellent texture. Roti with peanut sauce was so satisfying to start. Rolls too. Pad see ew noodles and sauce were BAM! Green curry, so comforting, plenty of veg and chicken. Next time Ill add spice there. Pad thai was multi-faceted yum.

I ordered two Pad Thai eat in dishes. I felt the noodles were either too soft perhaps from being drenched in too much sauce. For me extra spicy means cut up a chili pepper and add it to the dish, and not adding a bunch on Sriracha sauce on the side. Adding some freshly squeezed lime on the dish did not change the taste of the excessive sauce. I will buy a Thai cookbook elsewhere. I never review with a less than positive review, except for now.

Good takeout restaurant. The longtail wings are the best item on the menu. Food is a little expensive for what you get but the whole Quay is kind of an expensive area, so it makes sense to fit in with the demographics The food was made quick and with care. I enjoyed. Especially because the area does need the asian representation The restaurant is kind of confusing to get into from outside because you can only enter from inside the Quay. It makes sense though because they have to keep the outside animals that people keep feeding out. Its such a good location and fun to stumble upon for snack/lunch. Not really any seating inside so have to eat at the public Quay tables

Great little place down at the Lonsdale Quay, it s kind of hidden in the far corner don t really notice it unless you should go right to the door but once inside their are few tables small but roomy and clean the food is amazing I had a Singapore curry noodle with chicken, and it was amazing so fresh and the aroma there was enough food in the container for two meals, and very reasonable price. I definitely will be going back to this place and trying there other dishes that they have. This quaint little place is also wheelchair accessible and you also have access to eating outside on the patio s overlooking the water.

A wonderful no fuss Thai lunch. Two adults and a teenager shared the following: Tofu Pad Thai, veggie spring rolls, roti and chicken wings. The pad thai had wonderful sour note to it, likely from tamarind. My daughter loved the roti and was ok to eat just that. The chicken wings were mouth watering - whatever they sprinkled on top was salty goodness! I want to try the cauliflower next time and more roti!

I have ordered twice from this restaurant. The food is good but not great. Prices are reasonable and comparable with similar restaurants. Last time I ordered food to be delivered, Skip the Dishes managed the delivery. The restaurant didnt send exactly what I ordered. I called the restaurant to ask them to send the missing order or to credit my credit card. The restaurant refused my request and ordered me to deal with Skip the Dishes instead. I said that I didnt order from Skip the Dishes and I demanded from them to take care of their mistake. After a few minutes, I was told that Skip the Dishes would issue a credit but to my surprise they gave me points for their own services. I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed. I do not recommend this restaurant or Skip the Dishes.

December 22, 2023

I used to be a fan until their Longtail turn 10 event. They misled buyers on the eventbrite page. It mentioned side dishes, giveaways and door prizes but there was none of that. $50 for 1lb of prawns and 1 beer. Such a ripoff. When we commented on their Instagram, they just deleted the comment so this one will probably get deleted too

The Pad See Ew Beef is my favourite of all the really good noodle dishes here! You cannot go wrong with any of the many options here. If you feel like a curry type noodle get the Singapore noodles, if you want the classic get the Pad Thai. I have tried only one rice dish and it was wonderful but I usually crave the noodles too much to resist! The appetizers are also so good, so bring someone to share a great meal and a good time with!

December 22, 2023

It was my first time here a few weeks ago because the food are so highly priced I thought they must be good. I ordered a chicken pad Thai , but was hugely disappointed. The chicken tasted raw, the rice noodles over cooked and the whole thing was way too salty, and without any flavor. Over the years, I ve had many pad Thai at different restaurants, this is the worst serving I ve ever had. The cook seems to have not even a basic level of cooking skills! Doesn t worth the $17 price at all. I don t know why this place has such a high rating.

(Ordered take out) Their pad Thai was amazing! They also give a good portion of the noodles as well. I find that their Roti was ok but it might ve been my fault as because it gotten cold, thus it wasn t as crispy but I m sure that it was great when it was fresh I recommend the peanut sauce to go with it. The only downside is it is a bit on a pricey side but again they are literally next to the water so I m sure that was the main reason why it was a bit pricey.

Delicious food, attention to detail isn t great. Charged us for chopsticks and bag fee on a take out order, but forgot to pack everything upon pick up, including the chopsticks.

Been waiting a long time to come here and yes I ve finally indulged into some longtail chicken wings and boy were they good. I also really liked the roti with peanut sauce as well. As for the the papaya salad shrimp roll and pad Thai it was mediocre. I like my papaya salad fishy and more funky with the fermented shrimp paste that really kicks it up a notch. Overall a great experience will come back for wings and roti

Probably the best out of the sister restaurants. Super tasty, the sauces are all made in house and are amazing, especially the chicken wing sauce. Highly recommend this spot for dine in or take out

Longtail Kitchen? More like Longstale Chicken. This used to be a great Thai place. Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated drastically in the past few months. The chicken was inedible.

Loved the place. Ordered the roti and found it exceptional. Crispy and thin, perfect for dipping in the peanut sauce that it came with. The basil beef was packed with flavor. Wished it was a bit larger but it was fairly priced at $18. The pad see uu was ok. Will try the wings next time. Vegetarian options: Has tofu instead of meat.

Disappointing... Ordered 2 chicken Pad Thais and the chicken was rancid. Didnt taste anything similar to authentic, noodles were simply drenched in peanut butter oil/sauce & very little effort at adding additional flavour (I ordered spicy) $40+ for noodles in peanut sauce & a tiny bit of old Chicken. Worst Thai food Ive ever eaten, even food courts are better.

One of my favorite places at the River Market. Everything is made fresh in front of you so it takes a bit longer, especially if it is busy but its worth the wait. Everything Ive tried here has been great, and the staff are very friendly. Ive done both take-out and dine-in and its always consistently tasty.

In my opinion, this place is low-key so good that not many people know locally! I tried every food that they have on their menu and everything were very good!! This place is located at the corner of food court of New Westminster quay.. they have a nice patio outside too! If youre first time, I would recommend trying their Chinese Sausage Fried Rice and the Longtail Fried Chicken! They are reasonably priced too!! Highly recommended! Note: Photos taken Pre-Covid

I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. I came on a hot sunny day for lunch. The fried cauliflower wasn t greasy at all. The pad Thai had amazing flavour and perfect heat with juicy shrimp. The chicken wings was perfectly crunchy and seasoned just right. Although it was a lot casual because of the patio seating only it was still enjoyable and delicious.

Ran by the same owner that brought Vancouver Maenam which, in my opinion, serves up the best Thai in town. The place wasnt too busy when we came on a Sunday. You order and pay at the counter then they bring your food to the table. I like my Thai food very very spicy and some places gets a little gun shy when I ask for that, this isnt one of them. Basil beef rice was flavourful, medium portion and not overly expensive for Thai food. Right, wrong or indifferent, you pay a premium for Thai food. I just wish they carried more items from the Freebird menu. I would recommend this place for those who cant always make it out to Maenam, flavour profiles are very similar, just less high end ingredients and more leaning towards Thai soul food. Well return.

Longtail Kitchen has been a staple in my Thai cuisine restaurants for a long time. They pump out wok fresh pad Thai, tantalizing chicken wings (also known as crack wings because theyre THAT good) and delish feature dishes (think spot prawns, dungeness crab dishes). The kitchen crew behind the counter are always friendly and pumping out tunes to keep the vibe relax and fun. Would highly recommend the pad Thai, chicken wings, fried cauliflower and fried rice.

Really great Thai food! Their Pad Thai and Longtail Wings are both fantastic. However, they close incredibly early. Id order from here much more often if they took food orders past 5:30pm. The only way I can ever get food from here is if I decide to have an early dinner... very strange decision.

This place is awesome! Pretty expensive, but I mean the going rate to be fair since your right on the Waterfront. A sweet casual, comfort and relaxed vibe to chow down on some great grub in the sun. We got the Pad See Ew in which the kind and friendly staff were able to accommodate customizing it into a tofu-based veggie option. A plentiful portion of yummy wide rice noodles with a good mound of tofu, egg and veggies and was super yummy. We also got the Roti in peanut sauce to start which was devoured in seconds, wow that stuff is adictive, crazy good!! The menu is focused and specific, specializing in a great selection of delicious Thai cuisine whilst offering both veggie and meat options. I love how this joint uses so much compostable friendly cutlery, eating boxes and bowls as well as cups. Every little change makes a huge positive impact to save our beautiful planet. Khob khun ka !! Support local business!

We ordered basil pork and egg with rice, and a green curry tofu. Both dishes were good, and the presentation was good as well. Staff were polite and they came to fill water several times. The food was not cheap though - $16 per dish (for the items we ordered). If you are in the area, this restaurant is worth a try.

Some of the best wings hands down in all of Vancity! Longtail is the most consistently delicious joint in New West, be it eat in, take out, or delivery. Their staples are all on point, with perfectly balanced pad thais and pad see ew, to flavourful pork bellys and crispy prawn spring rolls. Their roti is also great savoury or sweet with the condensed milk. As a special, their khao soi is easily the best in Vancouver, it really needs to be added to their main menu! You will not be disappointed ordering from Longtail!

Perfect pad see ew noodles are done just right. I just wish they still had their butter prawns. I moved away for a couple years and when I came back it wasn t on the menu anymore. They were these prawns fried with kale on a bed of rice. Super crunchy and it was out of this world please bring it back! :) This will always be my favourite Thai place though. Big fan
