Shi Khu — Restaurant in Escuintla

I already had a feeling it might be a bad idea to eat Thai/Asian food in Guatemala… we went there for dinner and ordered Pad Thai and Khao Krap.

The Pad Thai was swimming in sauce that was way too intense (I think way too much tamarind paste).

The Khao Krap was made with some kind of milky rice – it partly tasted like rice pudding or a risotto.

Both dishes had very little to do with the original Thai versions.

Staff was super friendly though.

Price-wise very expensive for...

Such delicious food! And incredibly attentive service. The waiter was so so so nice and kind, taking time to make sure every part of my experience was enjoyable. He even helped me out and subtly found me a new spot to eat which made me feel safe when there was a drunk man at the bar ruining my experience…The food was beautiful, tasty and healthy. A perfect mix of Asian and Guatemalan food. Everything was relaxed in exactly the beach way 🩵 really reasonable prices too. Would highly...

This place is awesome!! It is a must if you are visiting El Paredón, the place is inviting from the outside, with a lot of attention to detail in the decor, very vibrant colors inside, and a plus, it has AC!

Now the food, the food is DELICIOUS!! I even stayed a little longer after lunch so I could order another dish. Every ingredient was fresh, plated beautifully, and the taste was great.

The staff is very nice...
