One of our most requested food recommendations is for authentic Thai restaurants in Vancouver. We get it. The perfect balance of sweet, savory, sour, and spicy is hard to beat. Toss in some aromatic herbs like Thai basil and lime leaves and we’re hooked.
You may be expecting us to suggest an unassuming hole-in-the-wall. There are those around town too but if you’re looking for a contemporary Thai restaurant in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, Pink Elephant Thai is your best bet.
Don’t let the funky hot pink interior and swanky bar fool you. Their head chef has been cooking in Thai kitchens since her youth and she leads a fine-honed team.
Pink Elephant offers comfort classics such as rich curries and a firey Pad Thai but their more intricate creations caught our eye. Namely, their painfully succulent Thai pork hock with pickled vegetables, chili laden salmon salad, and crispy soft shell crab has us coming back for more.
