A bright, warm and beautiful sunny day; it inspires us to be happy and relaxed. For me, it inspires me to go find somewhere to eat. Wait, I don't think the weather has anything to do with it. I'm always inspired to eat! Even when I was badly stricken with the stomach flu back in March, I still continued eating (including cream puffs!) Well, today was a nice day and I was in search of eats. I briefly considered Hon's, but I regained my senses and decided on something else. No offense to Hon's but there are better choices. My choice today was Lhy Thai on Edmonds in Burnaby. If you've never heard
Seating arrangements at Lhy Thai are a bit tight to say the least. The people next to us were having a conversation and I felt like I was a part of it. In fact, the gentleman next to me was raving about a Greek restaurant on Davie that served large portions at low prices; but he couldn't remember the name. I couldn't help myself and blurted out,"Stepho's". I'm not sure if he was
Viv ended up choosing Combo #2 (Green Curry) for her meal and I went for the Combo #3 (Red Curry). No, there was no Combo #5 like the time at Kam Wah. We added a Phat Thai Gai (Chicken Pad Thai) for good measure. Included in our
Everything was quite good until we got to the Phat Thai... It was fabulous! One of the most flavourful Pad Thai's I've ever had. The al dente
I've read some comments regarding Lhy Thai and they have been quite negative concerning their portion sizes. Well, first of all, look at the prices, I

Coming to Vancouver later this year... would you consider this the best Thai restaurant in the city? Would love to check it out, thanks!
Hi Jared,
I would say that Lhy Thai qualifies as a good bang for the buck Thai restaurant. It would be hard to say which one is the "best". It's a matter of personal opinion. I haven't visited all the Thai restaurants in town, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The following are some good choices:
Maenam
Papaya Hut
Charm
Then again, all of the above are much more expensive than Lhy Thai, yet offer better ambiance etc... It really depends what you want.
I hope this helps.
I'm not a fancy person, so I think it will be fine. Ambience is the least of my concerns :)
I am excited to spend a little time on the west coast, where quality Asian foods are easy to find. Here in NY they are around, but certainly the majority of Thai restaurants are catered to "western" tastes and are very blah. It's been so long since I lived in San Francisco and has such things at my disposal so easily!
Hi Jared, as a reversal, I envy that you are in NY, because we do not have any good delis here. I miss NYC! I have lots of family in San Fran and there is a good restaurant scene there. However, like you said, Vancouver has an abundance of good quality Asian food.
