Kwan Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Vancouver

As a Thai, this place really hits the spot especially when I'm craving something homey.

We had the wonton soup. The wontons are filled to its fullest and was at its tastiest. I loved the broth. I experimented by adding lots of white pepper which changed the flavor profile. I felt nostalgic cos it reminded me of guay jup soup noodles from back home.

We also had the chopped lobster and scallops fried rice not spicy (one of their specials) and damn was it one of the best fried rice I've ever had. The rice was cooked to perfection. The dish had the wok aroma which is difficult to come by these days even back home. The lobster (shelled off) and scallops were just heavenly, I knew the seafood was premium quality. The portions were generous as well. I tried the fried rice with their home made chili oil and it felt like a entirely different dish. It was soooo good.

For appetizers we ordered the potstickers in chili garlic sauce and their crab rangoons (I was skeptical of both cos it's not really Thai), but I was blown away. I was impressed by, the amount of the delicious filling in the crab rangoons and their sauce which isn't like the typical plum sauce one finds in other places. Their potstickers in spicy garlic sauce was even better after it was left to soak in the sauce. We practically asked for a spoon to slurp the sauce with the potstickers. Moral of this story: never judge a dish by its name or origin. Cos these two turn out mouth-wateringly good.

And we finished the meal off with sticky rice and Thai ice tea ice cream. It was so nostalgically good. I wished they served it on brioche bread to transport me back to my childhood.

On my previous visits, I ordered the beef noodle (also amazing for the beef and broth), pad Thai medium spice was perfect as well. We went back several times and haven't been disappointed by any of their dishes. This place is that good. Anyone looking for homey Thai food,...

Out of the many different Thai food restaurants that you can eat at in Vancouver, Kwan Thai Cuisine is by far my favorite. I used to eat at Thai Time, they were three to four star in atmosphere when it came to their food definitely a four-star. Then I started eating at Ginger pop. I feel like the food was five star the atmosphere was five star. The only thing was that the price was five star as well. Out of a handful of other Thai restaurants in Vancouver. I found most of them comparable to the regular generic 3 to 4 Star product. If I could give Kwan Thai Cuisine six stars I would. It's a hole in the wall next to Wendy's on Fourth Plain. The owners are both Thai the cook is Thai. The atmosphere is quiet comforting and very much a welcoming peaceful ambiance. The owners and staff are well above friendly and service oriented. I have tried multiple off of their menu and I would drive out of my way just to go to Kwan Thai Cuisine because of their yellow curry and their duck. If you go with the basic Pad Thai you will be 100% satisfied with a high-quality traditional meal. But by far the most defining food item on a Thai Cuisine menu is the spring roll. Oftentimes they can be overcooked undercooked burnt soggy almost as if they've been drenched in oil, but not at this restaurant. 10 Stars Spring Rolls. They are perfect and handmade. I hope you try them, you will not regret it. And unlike the higher priced Thai restaurants, the prices are reasonable affordable and you get a good quantity of food for the...
