THAI 4 U — Restaurant in Vancouver

Had to run an errand downtown before the lunch hour and stopped by a newish food truck. I was trying to decide if I wanted Woon Sen (glass noodles) or Pad Thai and the lady kindly asked me if I sort of wanted both and explained that glass noodle Pad Thai was actually her favorite.

Say what? Yeah...yeah let's do that.

It comes with either a spring roll or pot sticker and the pot stickers were the perfect crispy outer texture (fried, technically). You can definitely taste the tamarind in the noodles at this cart, which is a big standard plus for me. Their medium spicy might be a bit more spicy than some medium levels, so that might be of note for some people. And, of course, the only problem with a good Thai iced coffee is that you can easily drink it in one drink if you let yourself. Really cool little spot that you might want to check...

I showed up on a Thursday afternoon and no one was in line. I ordered and paid and was told twenty minutes. I came back twenty minutes later and was told my payment hadn't gone through. So I ran to get my wallet and pay again. After paying, I watched everyone who had ordered after me get their food and head off. I can only assume that means that the twenty minutes I first spent waiting were just wasted time, and they didn't start anything until I returned and had to try paying again. I understand not wanting to lose money, but did they really think people want to order food and then not come back for it, after actually attempting to pay? The promised twenty minutes became almost an hour. I had people waiting in the car. There are enough Thai places that I won't be returning for this...

Have had the pot stickers, tropical fried rice, pad Thai, and spring rolls. So so good! By far our favorite Thai food spot in Vancouver. They are so nice and always add a little appetizer to our order. Just really great people. We will be regulars :)

3/28 update: The best Thai food in Vancouver. We probably order once a month. A few weeks back they forgot our order of pot stickers, called us on the phone not a minute after we left. We were able to turn around and they had given a nearly double order because they are so nice. And then yesterday, they remembered us and apologized for forgetting the pot stickers last time. It was very kind and really not a big deal. They are just the best...
