Thai Chiangmai — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

I can't argue with food quality, but they have not treated us very nicely. They told us, we can buy takeaway containers for 10 euros, and we get a free samosa and eggroll each time. Cool. Well, they "forget" our free samosa and eggroll unless we specifically ask - we got home a few times without. Not nice. We always get Thai chicken, price, 9.90. Now, we've gone to pick up the food, and the price is suddenly 11.90, but posted nowhere inside the restaurant. We showed them an online screenshot, and they just said, we upped the prices. 20% in one month? From 10 euros to 12? AND we have to have the discussion EVERY TIME about the samosa and eggroll that should be included with our take away containers? It is very delicious, but I feel very disappointed. UPDATE: now they just REFUSE to give the spring roll and samosa after selling us the containers, AND they didn't even close properly the container they sold us, so the sauce...

I'm a little bit surprised by the former reviews, because the waitress told me that almost nothing was vegan because they use oyster sauce in a lot of the dishes. That's why I couldn't have one of the lunch menus.

But then she suggested a daily combo plate without oyster sauce, so then the dish was tom yum, one spring roll, one samosa, rice and vegetable wok without oyster sauce. The tom yum soup was spicy, but really tasty, but the other dishes were bland. The spring rolls contained almost exclusively glass noodles, and the wok did not taste much without any sauce.

I honestly don't think there are many vegan options here, but I might have misunderstood. The delicious tom yum soup lifts the place up to...

Great Thai-run place with simple but good food, and very reasonably priced (mains are €14-€18 a plate or so). Tasty food, and a selection of fruit juices & Thai beers are available too.

My go-to is pad med mamuang, the cashew stir fry. As with most dishes, you just pick the stir fry/curry/noodle and add your protein (tofu/chicken/shrimp/duck/...). Got mine with tofu and very much enjoyed it. Good portion of vegetables in the stir fry.

I was pleased to see Mango Sticky Rice on the menu, but I thought the rice was (re)heated a bit too much, making it crispy and chewy and having a somehat caramelized flavor.

That said, would happily...
