Discover a hidden gem in Parksville serving up delightful Thai cuisine - Thai Smile Restaurant. Despite a small parking lot and modest exterior, locals flock due to exceptional food and service. The delectable dishes leave diners questioning why they don't indulge more in Thai cuisine. A warm welcome awaits from the owner, Art, creating a friendly atmosphere. Generous portions are the highlight, although some dishes fall short of the authentic Thai experience. On Vancouver Island, this small eatery off the beaten path is a must-visit, offering an oasis of deliciousness for Thai food enthusiasts.
