Ratchada Thai Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Munich

STRAIGHT FROM THE MOTHERLAND! 🇹🇭

The minute you walk into this place you can’t help but ask yourself: am I in a thai restaurant in the middle of Munich, Germany OR is this some sort of magic inter dimensional portal that teleports you straight to a food joint in the streets of Bangkok?

This place is perhaps the greatest Thai restaurant I’ve ever tried in my life (no joke) and is all thanks to its authenticity, the tastiness of its dishes and the true vibes of the place. I’m not quite sure if it’s the stroboscopic christmas style light show along its walls, the strangely looking, yet mesmerizing, art displays showing elephants near a waterfall or the fact that there was a table of 20+ Thai people right next to us having the time of their lives and eating insane, yet tasty looking, quantities of food. Or perhaps all three combined!

Whatever the case might be, this place is การต่อสู้ (banging)! It’s the place where Thai people living in Munich go eat. The place that might seem a bit odd from the outside due to it’s not so clean entrance, but that hides a box full of wonders and life changing experience behind its walls.

And have I mentioned they have karaoke nights with a in-house DJ set? Unfortunately I didn’t get to experience them but it wasn’t because of my lack of interest let me tell you.

In summary: Their pad Thai? Outrageous Their soups? Pure fire Their staff? Friendly and loving people Their decor? Out of this world Their prices? Affordable Their cocktails? They look insane (definitely trying those when I come back)

STOP wasting your time eating at mediocre, pretending to be, Thai places with average Thai cuisine and come experience the REAL DEAL folks!

Ratchada, whatever that name means, is the place to...

Saw a cockroach. Another customer stepped on it on their way out. I pointed it out to staff and they just wiped it up, so I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the first time they had cockroaches in the building. If they're coming out that far from the kitchen, they're probably a bigger problem in it. (You can't really see too well in the picture, but I was just trying to get something for my own sanity in case I later questioned my repulsion.) I was sincerely ready to give this place five stars. It was incredibly busy as they had a party of 30+ people, but the staff was still sweet and, although the food took a very long time to come out, it was some of the best I've ever had and I wanted to shine some light on the easy-to-miss spot. (Wondering if the great flavour was due to added protein...) However, the staff member who cleaned the squished bug up didn't even stop to look at me to make sure I wasn't disturbed or worried about the food quality. Granted, I clearly speak English and I'm sure, as this was in Germany, there might have been a language barrier between her and myself, but even an apologetic look would have been appreciated. I'm Canadian, so I obviously paid the bill, but you can be sure I didn't tip! ...Kind of feel bad about that though. It wasn't the guy's fault...

I fancied Thai food today after last night food fiasco during Valentine’s Day dinner. Came here for dinner. The restaurant wasn’t full at all. Nice decorations even if the place runs down a bit, I liked it. We decided to order a few Starters to share with my friend. Papaya salad, chicken satay, fish cake, Tom Ka Gai and Tom Yum Goong soup. The latter came with coconut milk in it which was not expected by my friend who mentioned it to the waiter. The one who took the order didn’t like it and said she could have mentioned it before that she wanted the blended Rom Yum Goong.. anyway the soup has been changed and we just ate our foods. The owner came to check on us from time to time if everything was alright while the other one kept mumbling again about the soup. Anyway, the food was ok but nothing particular, my Tom Ka Gai was not great at all, there were for sure a lot of coconut milk but I couldn’t taste the lemongrass, kafir lime etc.. it was also a bit pricey. The papaya salad was the...
