Looking for a place that's modern place with good service, yet reasonably priced? U&I Thai is a perfect place for an affordable meal with a unique ambience. It seems like a western fine dining restaurant, but it is actually a Thai restaurant. Located on Cambie Street, it used to be the location of another Thai restaurant (Sala Thai, I believe).
Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed the western modern style fused with Thai decorations. Simple, modern, yet nicely designed...giving off a "fine dining" vibe. There was only one other table and so we did not have to wait for seats. It was a pretty quiet day for them, so I wondered about their food.
I ordered from the lunch menu special, where most items were $10, and came with soup of the day.

I'm not sure what exactly was the soup, I think hot and sour soup, but perhaps tung yam kung? I have no idea but it was probably made from frozen veggies and lots of spices. Because it was a little sour, it was appetizing! But in my opinion, the spices were too strong and the soup was too oily for my liking. Still better than the
"gym locker" tung yam kung I had at Tropika!
