Best Green Curry in Vancouver?

I am totally obsessed with Thai food right now, especially green curry. This puts me on a mission to find the best green curry in Vancouver. I told you a couple of months ago about Khai Thai, which is still the winner on the green curry front. But here's my take on the rest of the Thai restaurants I've been to in Vancouver, and how their green curry stacks up!

Khai Thai: Located at Seymour and Robson, this is my favourite spot for green curry. A green curry lunch combo goes fro $9.95, or for dinner it's $13.95 for the curry, plus $3 for jasmine rice. Khai Thai also has a takeout location near Kits beach. www.khaithai.com

Simply Thai: Located on Hamilton Street in Yaletown, the best thing about Simply Thia is their lovely heated patio. Their green curry is probably the spiciest I've had in Vancouver, but it also had the nicest flavour of Thai basil leaves. The Yaletown location makes Simply Thai a bit expensive -- The curry lunch combo special is $14, or for dinner it's $16 for the curry plus $3 for jasmine rice. www.simplythairestaurant.com

Royal Thai: Located on Bute street between Robson and Alberni, Royal Thai is generally packed with office workers at lunch time -- and with good reason. The lunch specials are a great deal. The quality of the green curry at Royal Thai has varied dramatically for me from really good to barely edible, with most experiences being somewhere in the middle. Royal Thai has no website, but the dinehere.ca reviews are here.

Sala Thai: Located at 888 Burrard, Sala Thai is a good Thai spot for business lunches downtown. (It's a bit more upscale than Royal Thai.) When I went, the service was super slow -- it took over 40 minutes for the server to come over and take our order, and the curry was okay, but a very small serving. They don't include pricing on their web site, and a business connection paid for me, so I have no insight on pricing here, though I have the sense it was a bit pricey. There is a curry lunch special, and they also have a location on Cambie. www.salathai.ca

That's it for now. I'll keep you posted as the list of Thai restaurants I try grows longer. any recommendations? Leave a comment on this post.
