Thaison — Restaurant in Mechelen

Update: pad Thai. Definitely one of the better ones around where it is not overly sweet or soggy. Will order again. chicken panang. Very flavourful without being too spicy makes it very palatable for most people. Very authentic south Asian cuisine tasting. pad see ew is a Soya sauce based stir fried noodles. I love how it has vegetables instead and the taste is totally underrated.

The portions were especially generous for the price, and by the time we finished our meal, we were both completely full.

The staff were very attentive, and even though most of the tables were reserved when we arrived, they still managed to accommodate us. Especially on weekends and in the evening, making a reservation would be a...
