‘Handmade with love’: A family-run restaurant in Port Coquitlam is making the most delicious Thai food

If you’re driving around Port Coquitlam and notice a cheery, island-blue storefront with a sign that says “Good Mood Thai Food”, consider it a sign from the universe to slow down and come to a complete stop.

Enter, and find yourself inside Thai Coco—one of the city’s newest Thai restaurants, which opened its doors last summer—perhaps one of the best places to get a true taste of Thai food without having to get on a plane.
