Simply Thai

Frommer's Review

At this small Thai restaurant in the trendy heart of Yaletown, you can watch chef and owner Siriwan in the open kitchen as she cooks up a combination of northern and southern Thai dishes with some fusion sensations. 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 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 thick coconut milk. The set menu is a good way to sample a bit of everything.
