Zalathai Restaurant

Awesome, family run, authentic Thai food. Lovely hosts. Great food. Neat decor.

Fantastic food. We very much enjoyed it. The red curry dish was not too spicy but did have a very mild kick to it.

Love there food

I enjoyed my vegan Pad Thai, and appreciated their willingness to make it that way for me. Cute small-town Thai restaurant, with no unexpected super-powered spices, etc. Owned by a lovely couple. Clean and charming. Convenient for meeting friends, with an inexpensive lunch menu, and large tables available. Good Jasmine tea, made from proper loose tea, not tea bags. Friendly and low-key.

The best service and food our family has had in a long time .We will definitely be eating there again :) :)

A lovely oasis of wonderful food at a reasonable price!

We had a delicious meal and very good service.

Excellent food and very friendly service.

It was pretty standard Thai food, but well-made and tasty. I'd eat here again.

I always enjoy fresh and delicious dishes here paired with very nice service by the owners? It's good enough that I keep going back and have not yet bothered to check out any other Thai places here in the city.

I order from these guys regularely and I have never been disappointed excellent food and the owners are great.

Nice atmosphere, clean, welcoming. A good selection of menu items that are reasonably priced. Really enjoyed it!

Delicious! I love their coconut rice

Excellent lunch specials for 11.99 comes with a small soup and 1 spring roll

The best spicy chicken fried rice!!! Very nice customer service!! Best Thai food in town.

We had several curries and larp. Nothing special, had far better for less $$ but it was okay for a evening when other places were closed. The Tom yum soup was the most disappointing item, being quite small with more spice than flavor. The larp was best item.

I would have posted some photos, but we ate it all! We are from out of town and regularly eat Thai. Food here is great and authentic. One of the few places I've been where they actually made it spicy enough for me, ask for extra hot / Thai hot!

Staffs are nice. They welcome and smile to serve customer all the time. Food was good but price was not reasonable I think.

Very delicious food. Local family restaurant and owners are from Thailand as well. Very amazing environment to go and have dinner. Great job!

Highest-reviewed Thai place on Google Maps for a reason! Excellent service with a smile, and good was ready in about 7 minutes. Phad Thai was marvellous.

Great food. Great service. The restaurant is impeccably clean and we did not have to wait long for the food (a definite plus with a baby)

This place is my little slice of paradise. I would genuinely travel across bc just to eat from this place. Lovely staff that tickle my heart strings and amazing food for great price.

10/10, very good food with the option of veganizing any meal on the menu! My new favorite place to eat.

Pretty good. Better than most I’ve tried in the area. Still nothing was great.All the dishes we ordered were well seasoned, authentic-ish and average portion size. Way overkill on the bamboo shoots - where’s the meat?We’ve tried it twice because the location works for us but I think we will look for somewhere else next time.

Very friendly service. Food excellent and good value for lunch menu. Will come back

Delicious food and wonderful staff!

My husband and I stopped in the have dinner after a long day in Vancouver. The service was beyond amazing and the food was the best Authentic Thai I’ve had since being in Bangkok.We were honestly blown away with the kindness and the quality of each dish. We will definitely being venturing to Nanaimo from Cumberland for date nights in the future.Thank you!!!

Authentic and delicious Thai food for a very reasonable price.

A-roi!!!! I have traveled to Thailand 3 times and this restaurant cooks exactly the real thing! 10 out of 10! Best Thai food restaurant on Vancouver Island.

Best Thai food in Nanaimo.I have been to Thailand myself and find their food very Authentic and very reasonable. The owners are very sweet and always give big smiles everytime. They even remembered my brother and was asking about him. Super impressed!

Service was good, food was good. (surprisingly ready quite soon)

Nice restaurant and staff. Large menu with choices for everyone.

Great food. Worth the drive from Port Alberni

Fantastic food and employees gave excellent service.

We came in at 3:00pm the restaurant is actually closed, but the lady still let us in and make food for us, great food and service.

Fast .... Food comes fast hot and it's good

Authentic Thai food and experience. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

So impressed. Great food, served very quickly and a lovely atmosphere.

We travelled to the island from Winnipeg and this food is absolutely amazing. It is a highlight of our trip. Not to mention the customer service is awesome. The coconut rice is a must try. Thanks for the great food and service

Very friendly service for takeaway. Good food and was ready early. Tasty and vegetarian friendly if needed.

Had the panang curry with rice. Really nice flavours. My only critique is that I found most of the dishes were a bit over-priced. $18.88 for a curry with rice after taxes is a bit steep for lunch. Maybe some lunch specials would make this place more busy because I was the only person eating in the restaurant.

Good place ~~~

Tasty, great portions, clean lil place

Excellent selection. Wonderful owners. You'll enjoy your time here!

Love their Papaya salad and such nice people.
