Your 2022 guide to the best Thai restaurants in Vancouver.
GOLD: Baan Lao, 4100 Bayview Street
SILVER: Maenam, 1938 W 4th Avenue
BRONZE: Kin Kao Song, 317 E Broadway
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Unchai
For high-end Thai food, we’re looking down—south, specifically, to Steveston’s Baan Lao. The refined, rotating menu by Chef Nutcha Phanthoupheng earned the Richmond restaurant a place on the Canada’s Best New Restaurants list this year, so it’s not surprising that Baan Lao wins gold in our 2022 Thai category. (“There really isn’t anything quite like it in Canada,” remarked one of our judges).
Maenam takes silver as the Kits eatery that continues to set a benchmark for Thai dining in the city with its quality ingredients and innovative twists on the classics.
Bronze goes to Kin Kao Song—sister restaurant to Kin Kao—applauded for its rustic authenticity, and the honourable mention goes to the unfussy (but worth fussing over) Unchai.
