My absolute favorite restaurant in Vancouver in 5 years of dining here. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. The dumplings are so incredibly flavourful, and I've loved every main dish that I've tried too. Highlights would be the lingcod and vegetarian pad Thai. Whether it be the a la carte menu, or tasting sampler, highly recommend coming here. It's my staple for celebrations and hosting guests from out of town.

I had outstanding Thai cuisine in Toronto, of course Thai is a must in Vancouver as well.
The atmosphere was greatly executed.
Staffers were approachable and knowledgeable.
It happened to be the month of Vancouver festival, the solely main was a tasting menu, $65 per person before tax and tips.
As a spice girl, I found the Tom yum prawn soup a bit spicy which was rare, pumpkin was one of the ingredients, if it could be softer to chew, it would be better.
I picked green curry halibut as the main course, I’m not really a fish person, nonetheless I would like to give it a try, it was well cooked and it didn’t smell or taste fishy at all.
Pad cha seafood was the stir fry dish I chose, my critique was it was quite bland, adding a stronger flavor would do the trick.
Dessert taro morkaeng was an icing on the cake, I simply love how crumbly it was, taro always felt heavy. Plus the taro chip was such a nice touch.
The night ended with a mango Thai and ginger beverage.

We did the tasting menu and really enjoyed it! For $88/person, it’s a lot of food. We did order the pad Thai too, but found we really didn’t need it. Our favourites included the crispy duck salad, pork stir fry, the small bites at the beginning, and dessert. Service was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend trying Maenam out!

Went for dine out and had a great meal. We chose a spicy sausage and crispy rice starter. Very tasty and some spice. Good size for two. Mains were duck curry and squid salad. All good. Would come again.

Had a lovely lunch here today! The $45 per person lunch includes a choice of starter, salad, and main course. Dining as a group of four, we shared a variety of dishes, and overall, everything was delicious. My personal favorites were the Massaman curry and the Crispy Duck salad, both were outstanding!
