Finally, an authentic Thai restaurant in the trendy heart of Yaletown. The small restaurant, decorated in light wood, terra-cotta tiles, and pale yellow brighten up even the most dreary winter evenings. Watch chef and owner Siriwan in the open kitchen as he cooks up a combination of northern and southern Thai dishes, always using the freshest ingredients. The appetizers are perfect finger foods: gai satay features succulent pieces of grilled chicken breast marinated in coconut milk and spices and covered in a peanut sauce, while the strange looking but delicious cho muang consists of violet colored dumplings stuffed with minced chicken. Main courses run the gamut of Thai cuisine: noodle dishes and coconut curries with beef, chicken, or pork, as well as a good number of vegetarian options. Don't miss the tom kha gai, a deceptively simple-looking coconut soup with chicken, mushrooms, and lemon grass. Siriwan creates a richly fragrant broth that balances the delicate flavors of the lemon grass and other spices with the thick coconut milk. There is no better remedy for those winter blahs.
