KAIMUG — Restaurant in Munich

LOCATION- 5/5 AMBIANCE- 4/5 FOOD- 5/5 SERVICE- 5/5 COMFORT- 3/5

Kaimug is a Thai food outlet in Fünf Höfe mall which is located in the Old Town of Munich. We went there for lunch. Relatively this is a small place and the space between two tables is very less which is disappointing. But the mouth-watering food will make you forget about everything!!! Also the service is great!!

We ordered (1) Garnelen im Kokosmantel (Prawns with coconut coating and sweet chilli dip) in Vorspeisen (Appetisers)- 5/5 - Excellent!! The prawns were tender & crisp and absolutely delicious.

(2) Gemüsecurry (Vegetable Curry which is fresh vegetables in light red curry sauce and sweet Thai basil, carrots, bamboo, white cabbage, mushrooms and soya sprouts)- 5/5- At first glance, the portions seemed relatively small but they were so filling and the curry didn't look appetising enough but one bite into it, this dish with its so many flavors, made me forget where I was!! Sumptuous!!! The bamboo shoots were perfectly cooked (I was apprehensive) and so were the other vegetables. You can even request them to add prawns/ chicken etc. to this curry. I had mine with prawns.

(3) Pad Thai(classic combination of fried rice noodles in spicy Pad Thai sauce with marinated tofu, peanuts, egg, crispy soy sprouts and fresh leek) in Thai Curry- 4/5-This dish had a relatively dry taste to it. Nevertheless the overall taste was nice!!

(4)Weine Rosé und Rot (Rose and...

Ordered Pad Thai set menu, green curry set menu, wantan and mini spring rolls on the side. €28. Pad Thai was horrible. Tasted more like rice noodles hastily fried in ketchup. Luckily I know how the real authentic Pad Thai tastes, or I'll be so confused why this dish is crowned the most popular street dish of Thailand! Kaimug, you have failed Thailand! The tea that comes with the set are unashamedly bland, it's not something I'd even dare to serve to a child! The deep fried sides are nothing special. One can easily get the mini spring rolls in the deep frozen section of a supermarket. The green curry is thinned and stretched to the maximum, like its tea. I won't patronise again, even though their customer service is great,...

Words may be only limiting to describe how wonderful my time was at KAIMUG TASTE THAI at 5 Hofe. I was lucky to enjoy several dishes, a delicious option to taste the best of what this lovely restaurant has to offer. I’ve been coming here every day during my two weeks of holiday in Munich. The menu had so many dishes, many more than in the pictures that Chef Koko has cooked for me it was so special. The passion and joy is imbedded and evident in this beautiful meal. Every plate served had unique and amazing flavours that told a story. The atmosphere was friendly and very welcoming. Will be visiting very soon. An incredibly special place, cannot recommend...
