4.7 / 5.0(844 reviews)

The service at this fine dining restaurant was the absolute highlight of our experience. Our host, Chot, provided exceptional care, thoughtfully explaining the menu and guiding us through the vegetarian options, such as the green curry. The presentation of the food was stunning—the pictures truly speak for themselves. Tucked away on a quiet side street just outside the old city moat, this charming Thai mansion has been beautifully transformed into a restaurant and coffee shop. It offers a delightful menu of traditional Thai dishes alongside select Western favorites — all freshly prepared with authentic herbs and ingredients, and presented with warm Thai hospitality and professional service. Don’t miss the desserts — they're just as impressive. This time, I tried the Crème Brûlée with a Thai twist, and it was absolutely delicious. It’s not the cheapest spot in town, but the quality, atmosphere, and service make it well worth every baht. Highly recommended! Second time here. This is a beautiful restaurant with a spacious and beautiful courtyard, which is impressive. Because there are many of us, in order not to disturb other guests, we chose a private room with a minimum consumption of 4,000 baht. It is a bit regrettable that the food was overall salty this time, the sea bass was not fresh enough, and the rice of the pineapple fried rice was a bit mushy and too wet. Strictly speaking, the product this time was slightly inferior to the first time, and it was not in line with the standard of this restaurant.

We came to this restaurant for dinner and tried their seasonal special menu. The Shrimp Thai Avocado Salad was absolutely incredible—it’s the best salad I’ve ever had in my life! Their banana dessert was amazing. Every dish was fantastic, Chai’s service was exceptionally great, and the decor and atmosphere were so relaxing and enjoyable. The restroom is fabulous. I’ll definitely come back again!
