Twinkle Thai Restaurant - Burnaby, British Columbia

Agree with another customer. Ordered a red curry and it was a soup consistency. The sweet and sour pork lacked color. Can't considering ordering again from here given the price and the quality you get.

Our first time trying (Take Out) and it was excellent, fresh, authentic and most of all balanced! Papaya Salad was spicy and tangy, Tom Yum was an excellent portion with lots of meat, Basil Stir Fry was not too sweet as was the Red Curry.

4-4.5/5 stars. The food was delicious but the reason for knocking off one star was for the price (felt it was slightly expensive for what we got) and authenticity (yummy, yes, but didn't feel very Thai). The green curry was my favorite.

Recently, a new take-out restaurant opened on Kingsway called Twinkle Thai (in the former location of First Choice Chinese). This new Thai restaurant is the brain child of the former owners of Sticky Rice Thai & Asian Cuisine in Surrey. While Sticky Rice Thai was a full-scale sit-down restaurant, the ... owners decided to scale things back and just focus on take-out now. That being said, there is a small bar-like area by the entrance with 6 side-by-side seats to accommodate individuals that just want to eat their food on-site. On my first visit, I ordered their Green Curry Chicken with Rice lunch special ($13.95). The curry was quite good (they make their own sauces) and had crunchy red and green peppers, large chunks of tender eggplant and chicken, as well as basil. There’s just a hint of medium spice level here that’s not overwhelming. On my next visit, I tried their Pad Thai ($11.95) with chicken, tofu, carrots, sprouts, egg, and onions with a mild sauce. The rice noodles that they use here are of the thinner variety but are nice and toothsome. At the end of November, I ordered their Red Curry Chicken lunch special ($14.95) which comes with a hot and spicy sauce, big cut pieces of tender chicken, bamboo shoots, basil, and peppers. Unfortunately, they decided to stop serving lunch and just focus on take-out during dinnertime. Read more

I have ordered here twice in the past couple months with the same menu: Pad Thai and Green Curry Chicken. In comparison to other Thai restaurants I’ve been, I can say that Twinkle Thai is hard to beat. Their pad thai is way better or shall I say its the ... closest to being authentic which is the exact kind you get when you’re in Thailand. Also, they are quick to prepare your order which is about 15-20min, not bad. Location is very convenient, place is tiny but tidy, and a very pleasant costumer service. My 4 star rating might change by the time I get to try more menus other than these two. Read more
