We ordered tom yum goong soup which was passable, and pad Thai - this was extremely bland, missing major ingredients such as fish sauce, lime, bean sprouts, garlic, shallots, and peanuts.

We found this little gem on a long walk and decided to give it a try after wandering around the area looking for a place to eat. The owner was so friendly and the service and food were great. We really enjoyed our lunch and the wonderful chat with the owner. Portions are generous, prices very reasonable, and we each had leftovers to take home. We’ll be back.

We initially started eating here during COVID to support a local business. They did excellent takeout, and we have been regular customers ever since. Fresh, tasty food and really lovely people.

We just love Vara and Teg and this family run restaurant and its warm atmosphere . The food is always delicious and can be tailor made for people who can’t handle spicy food ( we order mild for my hubby and she brings out chilis for me to add to my plate). We especially love the red curry , the lettuce wraps , and the massamum curry, but everything is delicious . Support this family restaurant , you won’t regret it.

We randomly stumbled across this restaurant, and I'm glad we tried it out. We were greeted by the owner and promptly served with menus and water. The menu is relatively small but packs in the main dishes you're seeking for within Thai cuisine staples. I've dined at many Thai restaurants and am always quietly impressed when Tom Yum is done well and has a good balance of sweet, sour and heat! The spiciness is accurate, so go easy when selecting how hot (spicy) you like your dishes. Thai iced tea and coffee are always a must, and now that mangoes are back in season, the sticky rice dessert with mango is my favorite go-to. Thank you for the excellent service and great conversation, Teg. Will definitely be back to try out the massaman curry!

So after seeing so many reviews of this place on the eat new west Facebook group it was time to try out Thai New West. The dishes were very well constructed with lovely presentation and tasted so very good. Our server was very kind, friendly and helpful. I had the Pad Med Ma Muang and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband had the Pad Bai Horpa. *Big* bonus that our dishes had more meat than vegetables which is not the normal and the vegetables were very fresh tasting. My husband finished with Black Rice Pudding. He (really) enjoyed it. I was too full to try it. We will be back.

This is our new go-to restaurant for Thai food. The portions are smaller compared to other Thai eateries, but the flavours make up for their lack in size. Our regular favourites like curry and lettuce wraps taste better here! The smaller servings mean there's room for dessert. We tried the deep-fried plantains and they were satisfying. Needless to say, we're definitely coming back.

It is a small place but it felt like we're in a fine dining restaurant minus the white linen with a spa-like ambience. For a moment we forgot about Covid as this place is extremely clean. Food is superb! Flavourful that you could taste everything was prepared from scratch (except the ice cream). The Thai New West Restaurant is now my favourite Thai restaurant.

A local gem in Sapperton new west. Under rated spot. I ve dined in a couple times, but i particularly enjoy their desert menu. If you are looking for a sweet treat with high quality ingredients I would recommend this place on their desert menu alone. I ve only tried the coconut curry, but I ve ordered it every time because of how much I enjoy it.

I had lunch with my friend. Owner is friendly. Green curry dish is good. Dessert is great!!

Terrible customer service. I love their Pad Kee Mao and I have been a regular customer (first time dining in) for that until today. The waitress brought food and it didn t look like Pad Kee Mao I always get. It was pad see ew. So I asked her if this is Pad Kee Mao and she was 100 percent sure it was. After a few bites, I felt lied to and compared it to the description on the Menu and then she finally took my plate the to chef and corrected it. Not even a simple apology.

June 22, 2024

Place was good before but now the food is just bad. No taste at all. Seems like the chef forgot to season at all nor were there any spices. Not sure if they got a new chef but very disappointed.

I ordered 4 different dishes for take out, and requested for all of them to have a medium spice level. 2 dishes had zero spice, and 2 dishes were EXTREMELY spicy. So spicy that it was borderline inedible.

The taste is good, but the waiting time is too long. There were only four tables occupied when we went, and one of them came behind us. There were only two people per table and we waited 45 minutes for a bowl of fried rice and a bowl of yellow curry.

First time in here after so long of searching after they closed at 49th. The food here is 10/10. Everything was serve warm and the food was plated like a professional, props to the chef here. This is probably gonna be one of my favourite Thai restaurant. Recommended drink- Guava its 10/10.

Visited again today! Great place :-) Fresh ingredients and nice vibes. Ordered pad Thai and the green curry. I m delighted by the pad Thai here. The egg is fluffy and the spice is perfect!

December 22, 2023

Ordered Chicken Pad Thai and their Khao Pad. Pad Thai was bland and their chicken tasted boiled. The only flavour apparent was something like store bought tomato sauce. Felt as though the pad thai had been cooked separately from the chicken and later reheated. Khao Pad was passable, I suppose. It was not good all the same. Not worth the $60 or both myself and my partner getting food poisoning.

Was not expecting to have such tasty Thai food in New West. I went here on a whim with a client (his choice) and I was pleasantly surprised. Not exactly a hole in the wall but this charming restaurant is very unassuming. I ordered the green curry which is my personal favourite dish from any Thai restaurant, and I must say- this one would be very hard to beat! Excellent flavour and very friendly service, I will definitely be back here again! The Thai iced tea and the spring rolls are to die for too.

Amazing Thai food. Tried it on a whim while walking by and was super happy with the experience. The yellow curry was great. Tender chicken, lots of veggies. Won t go wrong trying this place.

December 22, 2023

Service is appalling, like they hate you for being there. The food tastes like nothing, while Thai is supposed to have spices and a lot of flavour... What they serve is not Thai food. Wont go again.

December 22, 2023

We have eaten and ordered out from Thai New West a few times over the years and have always been impressed with the freshness and flavour of the Thai food. We do not usually leave reviews but felt last night s take out necessitated this. In short, it was awful. The ingredients tasted off and the flavours unappetizing. At least half of our party could not finish their meal and we have since thrown out the left overs. Hoping this was a one off but hopefully this review will be constructive and assist with improving whatever that was last night.

★★
December 22, 2023

If you want to be ignored, constantly have to flag down the waiter/waitress and be made to feel like you re an annoyance for patronizing their restaurant this is where you should eat. Not one follow up as to how my food was, no proactive refilling of my water, nothing. The food definitely isn t worth this. Just an awful experience.

It was a great experience. I tried green curry for the first time in my life, and I love it. And delicious coconut rice. 100000000% Ill come back again.(Thai style iced coffee is very sweet )

December 22, 2023

Ordered take out and got the pad Thai and the red curry. Red curry was mediocre, small portion size, but the pad Thai was the worst. I got through Uber eats and order it with prawns but I got chicken instead. Not a big deal but it just tasted terrible. I don t think you re supposed to see the egg but I just had scrambled eggs put on top. No taste, too expensive and just a bad experience overall. Never getting anything from here again

the service was terrible. took forever to get water. never filled it back up. never checked back on us. also took forever for the food to come out. it wasnt busy at all yet there were multiple dirty tables that were left unclean for the duration of our meal. it was an eyesore! the only time she came over to our table was because my date was groaning loudly about how he was done eating and then she finally came over to give us the check. will not be coming back.

Favourite Thai Restaurant in New Westminster by far!!! And probably in the lower mainland - at least in terms of what we re looking for! We order takeout here . . . probably weekly and order: Pad Thai Green Curry Lettuce Wraps Coconut Rice It allows our family of 3 (although 1 member is only 1.5 years old) dinner and then left overs for the next day too! They re also very accommodating of our 1.5 year olds spice tolerance

I dont know if the ownership of the restaurant has changed. The food quality has significantly worsened the last couple of times we have wanted Thai food. The quality of ingredients and fresh vegetables have disappeared. So so disappointed with the food now. Dont waste your money on this place.....

We dined in the restaurant which was freezing cold. One meal arrived to our table cold, two others were just warm. One of our dishes was ordered spicy, but they made a different dish the spicy one. Food was absolutely delicious, but service was really lacking. After our meals arrived we were never asked how things were. Dishes average about $20 each, which I consider on the high end for Thai.

My boyfriend and I were starving and in need of dinner. We saw New West Thai was open for about another 35 minutes. We felt bad about going right before close but said wed eat quick and let them finish up their night. Our server was lovely and patient. Our food was incredible, the best either of us had had in years. My boyfriend got the Pad See Ew and I got the Pad Med Ma Muang and both were fantastic. We were very happy with the quality of our dishes. We snuck in the Saku dessert as well, warm tapioca pudding with bananas and even that was DELICIOUS. We honestly cant wait to go back.

December 22, 2022

I have come here about 5 times now. While the pad Thai is good (about $18-20), the service is not. The lady who works there seems to always have an attitude and when you come in she doesn t greet you nicely and when she takes your order she s also a bit rude. I kept going back because Its close to the hospital and hoping she would be different but today was it . Just because of the attitude, I wouldn t come back. :/

Disappointing (2.5/5 ) My usual Thai restaurant is temporarily closed so I decided to check this place out because it was only a 5min bus ride away. Ordered Chicken Pad Thai with extra chicken and a small side of Satay sauce, asked for 3.5/5 for spice because I read another review saying it wasn t very spicy and the restaurant replied they usually prepare dishes at a 2/5 for spice unless specified. I picked my order up at the time they said it would be ready and ate some immediately when I got outside and was waiting for my bus. It was very hot so it couldn t have been sitting there long but the noodles were soggy, which was a real let down, and it was also the sweetest Pad Thai I d ever had, for a minute I d wondered if they gave me the wrong dish. Nothing green in it at all, though there s not a lot of veggies mentioned in the description so I guess that s just how they do it here, and also INCREDIBLY mild, like not even a 1/5 for spice. I understand that everyone has a different idea of spicy but this was so mild it was to the point that I wonder if they misunderstood what I d asked for. Large portion size, as I would hope for the cost, and it wasn t exactly a bad dish, though not what I expect when I order Pad Thai. I d be willing to try them again while my usual place is closed with the hope that something just went wrong that night, but if my second order comes out the same as the first I ll have to just switch to Korean/Japanese/Chinese while I wait for my usual place to reopen. Restaurant was clean and attractive, staff was nice.

Understaffed, Bad Food Quality, Unfriendly Server. Would never go back.

December 22, 2022

The lousiest thai restaurant Ive ever been. Food and services are bad. Waited an hour for food to come out and it was a huge disappointment. I told the only server working there about the food experience. She is aware that the coconut rice was cooked with too much coconut milk and it is mushy. So my question is, if you know the food has a problem, then why do you continue serving it to your customer??? This doesnt make sense at all!!! Telling your customer that people dont order massaman curry with coconut rice is also rude & uncalled for. You know the coconut rice is not done correctly and yet you blame your customer order? The Pad thai noodle - mushy, overcooked, soggy. Missing the chopped peanuts on top. Massaman curry - meh, too sweet to my liking. Coconut rice - mushy Understaffed kitchen with 1 server taking tons of online orders & customers dining in are a recipe for a disaster. The only saving grace for this place is the thai ice tea. Definitely will not come back

We have had take out numerous times the food is good but when we ask for spicy it comes most times with NO spice. This has happened the last 2 times we ordered and other times in the past over the past couple of years. We add our own spice but it is not the same when added after cooking. This time not only was there no spice but the food was cold when we got home. We live 4 blocks and it is a mess 1min drive. Also we know with Covid that prices have gone up to make up for the delivery app costs but why not give a small discount for pick up like others.

Slowest, no care at all service. Stood at the door for a few minutes and the server who had 3 other tables seated in the small restaurant couldnt acknowledge me. Finally sat down, after waiting half an hour for a plate of very average Pad Thai I wasnt asked if I needed anything, how my food was, nothing. Also there was a hair in it. If you want below average Thai food for a premium price, I would recommend ordering out from here instead of sitting in unless you like having the server not care about you. Wont be coming back here again.

Ordered beef pad-thai noodle to go today. It was a disappointing dish. The noodles were clumpy and hard. The beef was tough and dry and does not taste well-seasoned (Pro: good portion of beef, con: does not taste good). The dish is not cohesive - Looks like the Cook cooked the noodles with bean sprout, and the beef separately, as it is added to the top of the noodle, and the egg (man, the egg is disappointing... it was just scrambled separately and put on top of the noodles) Then the Cook sprinkled with some crushed peanuts. Definitely had better pad thai dish elsewhere.

The green curry and the tom yum soup was great! but super small portions of a high price tag of $18.50 for the soup and $24 for the curry. See photo attached. But what was REALLY bad was the pad thai and the fried rice. Both were super soggy. Noodles were broken up, no heat flavour whatsoever, lacked flavor and they probably used ketchup not tamarind sauce. And the fried rice was soggy, used fresh rice not day old rice and both dishes tasted so bad. Not authentic whatsoever. Highly disappointed. For the price tag of $111 for 4 items, I was very disappointed.

The food is really yummy. I had the Massamman curry with prawns, medium spicy. It was very good. Portions here are reasonable.

Tried this place out yesterday with a friend. Friendly and attentive service with fair prices. I ordered the Pad See Ew and noticed that the noodles were not the larger ones that are more traditional with that dish, which was odd. Regardless, it still tasted good. Although, have had better Thai food elsewhere, its still worth a shot and I would recommend this place and would try it again.

Never been here before. Ordered a pad thai for take out today, almost the worst pad thai ive ever had. it just taste like sugar. I had to add some lime juice and sprinkle some salt on it at home to make it taste better. Honestly disappointing since it has pretty good reviews......

Suuuuper SLOW service. We had waited for 1 hour for 2 stir fried dishes from 7:30 to 8:30pm. I mean, seriously? Have been to a lot of busy restaurants during busy dinner time, none of them took this slow to serve foods. Improve ur efficiency plsssss. And the taste is fair like many cheaper thai restaurants than here

Visited last night and had a wonderful dining experience. This little gem is located in Sapperton and my girlfriend took me there on my birthday. It has a classic upscale ambience and the food is delicious and very well presented. Hand carved carrot flowers on every dish makes one feel special. We had teh yellow curry and pad thai and both were very tasty. It was also nice to see a Thai restaurant offering a good selection of BC wines and we had a glass of Kettle Valley cabernet sauvignon. Will be back soon to try more dishes.

Delicate Thai Feast Visited Thai New West before going to Massey Theatre and thoroughly enjoyed the food that not only tasted great but was very well presented. The flavours were delicate and portions generous, unfortunately we could not take away leftovers as we were going to a show. The spring rolls, drunken noodles and panang curry were all very very delicious. Highly recommend it.

I have been to almost every Thai restaurant in the lower mainland, and i have to say that Thai New West is hands down the BEST i have ever had. I live in Delta and will drive to New Westminster just to eat here. Do yourself a favour and try it. You will be back. Great food and fantastic service.

Lovely dinner in New West. While recently visiting my family in New Westminster, we visited this beautiful restaurant. Its very nicely decorated and the food is 5+ stars. Really enjoyed the Pad Thai, the owner came and recommended us to squeeze the lime that garnishes this dish, what a nice and caring touch. The food is tasty and plated beautifully and a wonderful selection of wines and beers.

The food was delicious, presentation was top tier and the little restaurant has decent seating (lighting is a bit dark). Thai milk tea is beautifully presented, youll have to mix it and I enjoyed that visual instead of it being premixed although the amount of ice makes it difficult.

Im no connoisseur but this is one the top restaurants in Vancouver. It had been recommended to us by friends, we live in Kelowna and on a previous visit tried Thai New West. Immaculate presentation, fresh and tasty dishes (Pad Prik Khing, Green Curry) paired very well with a BC chardonnay. The service was excellent and Im sure we will be returning again on our next visit to Vancouver.

Cute and cozy little place, I was there last time with my husband and the food was delicious, but the drinks were too sweat for my taste. Next time I go there I will try the Jasmine tea with my food to balance it out. Yes, I would definitely go back there.

The good: liked the Thai iced tea, and spring roll that came with the lunch. Server was friendly. The bad: main dishes tasted mediocre, definitely not up to the 4 or 5 star rating. Portions were small considering the lunch price. I dont know how this place can have such a high rating but its not a place Ill want to revisit.

I have tried too many Thai restaurants and this is definitely a hidden gem! Amazing food and generous portion. You can taste the real, authentic flavour because they use fresh and quality ingredient and you can see the spices and herbs in the dishes too. The staff is very friendly and polite as well. My favourite Thai restaurant in Greater Vancouver area and I already know that I will be returning time over time.

December 22, 2019

Hopefully a one-off experience, this was ours; Pro s: fine setting, polite server and attractive (sounding) menu Con s: 50-minute wait on a standard table order with a prior booking during a tame serving period. Upon the second ETA request for our meals, the floor manager rolled her eyes to their cook and didn t bother to keep us updated. We walked out. This was a Birthday dinner for a family that rarely eats out. I don t doubt this place could produce a quality dine-in experience, however, our experience was gravely disappointing.

★★★
December 22, 2019

The place is always a bit too dark for my liking and it gets really loud when there is a full crowd due to the tiny space. The food quality is average and doesnt taste authentic (more on the sweet and less spicy side). I had their chicken based dishes and they were overcooked.

When ordering from a Thai restaurant for the first time, my first pick is always the Pad Thai. Something simple that really shouldnt be done wrong. The Pad Thai from Thai New West was bland and lacking any flavour at all. Almost as if it had no seasoning whatsoever.

We had takeout for an important family function. The proprietor suggested email to give me a menu suggestion. Unfortunately, I emailed the restaurant at 7 p.m. on Friday night to confirm the order for 6:30 the next evening. The proprietor apparently did not check his email from 7 p.m. on Friday to 6:30 on Saturday and the order didnt go in. Please, if you are using email for business, you cant go 24 hours without checking it once. Like I said, this was an important family function. The proprietor suggested Vegetarian spring rolls, chicken pad thai, red beef curry, cashew chicken, mixed vegetables and jasmine rice. To be honest, I thought the combination was not very exciting and a bit pedestrian, but since we have not tried this restaurant before we decided to trust his judgement. Everyone found the whole meal to be quite bland. The pad thai was very poor, consisting of noodles and chicken and maybe a little egg. The sauce might have been ketchup. No peanuts? No cilantro?? Chef, you need to do better for $15. Both the cashew chicken and the mixed vegetables really had the same base, which was oil with a bit of stock. It was disappointing that the dishes were so similar. Only the beef curry had good flavors even though it was far too mild. Considering the quality of food and the relatively high prices, we probably wont be back. Our party was also very surprised that given the large order and the screw up with the email, that we werent offered any discount or complementary dish.
