CHAYAN 茶颜 - Asian Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Tbilisi

poor experience.

we wanted to have chinese food so came here based on xhs recommadation. i think there must have been a owner change or something and now it has turned to a thai restaurant with asian fusion. it wasn't what we thought, but it still has chinese food so we decided to stay.

it turns out to be Thai style chinese food -i.e. not authentic unless you happen to be looking for thai style chinese food. the two stir fried dishes had the exact same thai style chili sauce. the photos in menu were misleading as 1) the vegetable was completely different, and 2) the portion was maybe 20% of whats in the photo. (i saw owner previously replied with sarcasm on how people finished all the food and gave low rating - we finished the food as well, as there was too little of them!)

and the restaurant charges 13% service fee on credit card payment which, given the standards at nearby reataurants, is like...

I’ve been to this Thai place twice now and both times were such a great experience! The service is wonderful – the staff are so friendly and really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. It was a really hot day when I visited, and they kept topping me up with ice for my Coke without me even asking – such a thoughtful touch. The food is fantastic! The wontons were absolutely delicious, and the papaya salad quickly became my favorite – I had it every time I came. My friend loved the Korean chicken and the fried prawns too, so there’s definitely something for everyone. Overall, great food, warm service, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for tasty Thai food...

If you can't fly to China, this is the best darn Chinese food you can get in Europe. Which is ironic since kinkhali might have originated from Mongolians 🤔 and are basically Chinese soup dumplings...

So eat lots of good Georgian good all week, then finish with these awesome Taiwanese food.

Anyways, the owner/server for the moment and cook (forget their names) are such "sweetie pies".

One with a lot of sass and the other with a lot of spice.

Plus, if you like cats, feed them the leftovers, as they give you a ton of food. Will miss my stray cats, #BobiTheCat and...
