Thai Pudpong

Thai Pudpong is a true hidden gem in West Vancouver. The food is authentic, flavorful, and made with so much care—it feels like a little taste of Thailand right here at home. The papaya salad (som tum) is my favorite—fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced. The stuffed chicken wings are another standout: crispy outside, savory filling inside, and so addictive. Everything else I’ve tried, from the curries to the noodles, has been consistently delicious. The staff here are also incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. One special thing I love about Thai Pudpong is their authentic Thai menu that they release from time to time. You’ll have to wait for the notice, but it’s worth it—you get to try traditional dishes you won’t usually find anywhere else in Vancouver. If you’re craving real Thai food in West Van, this cozy little spot is absolutely worth discovering.

Absolutely the best papaya salad I’ve ever had! Bursting with authentic Thai flavors — just like in Thailand. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Thai taste!

I recently visited Thai Pudding, and while the food was fantastic, there’s definitely room for improvement in the overall ambiance. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the menu offered a wonderful selection of authentic Thai dishes. The star of the meal, however, was the Thai pudding—rich, smooth, and perfectly sweet. It was by far one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time! That said, the restaurant’s interior and décor are in need of some serious updating. The space feels a bit dated and could benefit from a refresh to match the quality of the food. Despite this, the delicious flavors and attentive service more than made up for the less-than-ideal atmosphere. If you’re looking for amazing Thai food, Thai Pudding is definitely worth a visit—just don’t expect the most modern setting. I’ll definitely be back for the food!
