Nam Thai — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

We arrived at the restaurant bang on time for our reservation of 7.30pm. The waiter led us to a window seat at the front of the restaurant, which was a great spot. We immediately ordered a couple of refreshing Bohemia Patagonia Pilsner beers.

For starters we ordered…

Gai (Chicken) Satay and Poh Pia Jung (Prawn Spring Rolls).

The grilled chicken arrived on skewers with a separate delicious peanut sauce, which you could add as you desired to the meat. The chicken was impeccably succulent.

The prawn spring rolls were crammed with filling. As well as a good amount of shrimp, there were rice noodles and shiitake mushroom.

For mains we ordered…

Khao Pad Bai Kaprow, which was a delicious and moist fried rice with chicken. This came with a small amount of red chillies, very thinly sliced. It also had a well cooked fried egg on top. This had a crispy underneath and had a gooey runny yolk.

Gaeng Moo Tai Po, this was a tasty Thai red curry with a mild spicy coconut sauce. It came with a nicely tender pork fillet and spinach.

Alongside this, was a bowl of superb sticky rice, which the sauce when poured...

I have never had thai food that tastes this good before... and i live thai food. Their red curry is to die for. The flavor combinations used in their appetizers are exquisite, I can't express that enough. The apps we got & reccomend: Poh pia phak, poh pia kung, & Tung tong. Tung Tong's sauce i thought instantly would be very spicy upon first taste, but ended up being a surprising flavor of many spices without burning too much... im not used to that. Thai food in the US usually burns quite a bit. I cannot say enough about how amazing our food was from start to finish. A must try if you are out of town visiting.

(Dishes we got: New world Kannaa- great if you love beef. Nuea Massaman, & Gaeng moo tai po are both red curries with slightly different ingredients. Both of them were fantastic, but I liked the...

Two adults and two children under 5 years of age ate here and paid R$400 for lunch, and had a horrible experience.

We ordered the Tom Yum soup, which is a Thai preparation we love. It was the worst Tom Yum soup I've had in 30 years. The soup had such a strong rotten smell that my wife and I both felt like vomiting after having one spoon of it. We spent R$92 on the vomit-inducing soups and when we complained about the stinking soup and got the following robot-like reply from the restaurant: "We are sorry that you did not like our soup. It is one of the most requested dishes on our menu and is always made with great care and attention. sorry"

Translation: Hey, it's not our problem that you didn't "like" our soup.

Unless you enjoy eating rotten soup (nobody does) and deaf-to-feedback management,...
