chiang mai thai restaurant

stillgoodafter three years. i have enjoyed eating here for years now. the thai curry is great, sushi and sashimi is very fresh and well made. my kids 22 and 33 yrs. agree as well as my california friends.

wonderful surprise. we just moved to this area and are discovering new (for us) restaurants. from the outside you can't tell much about the restaurant, but it's lovely inside. the service was friendly and fast and the server answered any questions we had about the food. i had one of my favorite dishes, the chicken in red curry sauce—which was perfect—and my husband had the pepper steak. that was alsogoodbut the beef (as often happens) was a bit tough. i forgot the name of the soup but it was the coconut based chicken soup that is spicy sweet and delicious. we're going back today for a second taste test.

completely satisfying. this restaurant is terribly underrated in our opinion. we had the best thai meal of my life (so far). the crab rangoons were outstanding & left us wanting another order; my panang curry w/ chicken was served in a very large (fish) ceramic bowl, & w/ jasmine rice i ate the whole thing. the chicken particularly was different in that it was sliced to the point of being shaved, extremely tender. my wife had the "amazing" w/ chicken. she's not a big fan of thai cuisine, but she loved her dish & said she would return. both of us got peanut sauce in our dishes. the peanuts were chopped & a delightful departure from the usual half nuts.

one final point: had we not met friends at chiang mai thai & sushi we probably would never have experienced the great food & charm (decor & staff) of this place. you see, the consumer ratings had it scored at 72, and as a rule i don't consider dining anywhere that carries a rating under 80. only the convincing of our friends who have dined there many times allowed me to go. they were right.

the menu on this website needs to be updated though. both of our entrees were priced at $9.99 each, not the $13.00 listed here; an extra order of jasmine was $2.00, not $1.00. the crab rangoon was $7.99, no mention of this appetizer on this site's menu whatsoever. our total tab amounted to $56.00 w/ tax & tip, which we considered agoodvalue.

forced to order off dinner menu to use a groupon. had a groupon to use. only restriction was that you must dine in and cannot be used for specials or fourth fridays. restaurant would not let us order off the lunch menu. so it cost us $10 more but it cost them a customer and who knows how many people will read this. food did not tastegoodafter this experience. they also have signs up in the dining area stating that they may choose to impose a 15% tip for parties of less than five regardless of the service. 20% for parties of five or more. regardless of service?

great restaurant.goodthai andgoodsushi. close to capitol theater so a great place to eat before a show.

great for lunch or dinner. my family loves the amazing beef and the chicken panang at chiang mai. we eat here very often, and the new management has really done agoodjob of fixing some issues with the service. the bento boxes for lunch are a great value, as are all of the lunch specials -- and they are served *very* quickly. the decor is lovely, the space is, well, spacious for downtown cw and the location right on cleveland is very convenient since i work downtown.
