Fodor's Expert Review Sala Thai

Vancouver's ocean of Asian restaurants can be overwhelming so finding dependably great, authentic Thai cuisine is a treat. Sala Thai means "an open pavilion for gathering," so you can expect gracious hospitality and service, alongside seafood, noodles—pad Thai, pad see-ew to name just two---and curries with coconut milk, fruits, and spices. The diverse menu includes desserts like jackfruit, mango, and sweet sticky rice, as well as deep-friend bananas and homemade coconut ice cream. No wonder kids love the place.
