Xi Thai Cafe喜泰厨房-Ara Permata

Quite a pleasant surprise to find this little Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Food was not bad and prices were reasonable too. The Tom Yam did not disappoint but it got cold too soon. It would have been great if there was a fire underneath the serving pot. On the other hand, I believe the green curry could have tasted much better without the use of excessive sugar.

We dropped by for lunch here. The decor is still being worked on, since it is a soft launch for them. The food was very spicy and good. The food took some time to prepare but it was worth the wait. The corn with salted egg somtom was special and tasty. Also good were omelette which was crispy, green curry and glass noodles which had a nice peppery taste. The price is reasonable for good quality food.

No frills Thai restaurant. Simple food, reasonable pricing, quick service. This was my 2nd time there ordering almost similar stuff. The 1st trip there, the Thai Green Curry was a little thicker hence tastier and richer, 2nd time was very diluted. Provided feed back to the restaurant. The rest of the dishes were delicious!

24 October, 2023: A bit of a hidden gem, this one. Unassuming and somewhat inconspicuous, it surprised us with a trip down 'taste memory lane' to the writer's ten years in Thailand. The green curry (Geng Kaew Wan) had the prerequisite taste, but lacked a bit of depth - could've used a bit more spices. The stir-fried cabbage with fish sauce and garlic (Kalumplee Pad Nam Pla) and steamed pork in chilli-lime sauce (Moo Manau) were good. The corn 'somtum' with salted egg (Tum Khao Pod Khai Khem) wasn't bad, but it was a little too sweet for our palate. We will be back for other menu items.

Authentic Thai alert! A newly renovated and renowned Thai restaurant in Ara Damansara. featuring a true Thai chef and a super friendly new owner. Will be back again for sure!

I recently had a delightful dining experience at this restaurant and I have even revisited since then. The owner mentioned that the food is sourced from Chiang Mai, and although I cannot confirm its authenticity, it certainly inspired curiosity and compelled me to give it a try. I must say, the Tom Yam soup was a true standout. The flavors were well-balanced, with just the right amount of sourness and spiciness. It provided a delightful combination of aromatic herbs and spices that truly captured the essence of Thai cuisine. Whether or not it's truly from Chiang Mai, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a great place to indulge in delicious food that will leave your taste buds satisfied.

The food is good. I had Tom Yum Chicken with rice , and Thai Omelette Kai Jeow. The Tom Yum is creamy with the right spiciness. Kai Jeow is delicious. Hope it business continues to improve and more people will come to eat.

Very authentic Thai food at a cozy small restaurant. Tastes good! The cook is a Thai, therefore food is on the spicier end. If you cannot take spicy, let the owner know to make your food less less spicy. F&B options not many but good enough as a start. Will return again to try other food.
