The Thai • เดอะไทย Cafe and Restaurant — Restaurant in George Town

In Nov 2022, I passed by and saw it's still in renovation mode. Honestly totally forgotten about it till today, understood they opened for biz in January 2023. It has a cozy feel and appreciates some of the deco was brought in from Thailand to give more feel to customers. Let dive into the food. Unfortunately I did not take snaps of the menu but anyways drop in to find out for yourself. By the way there are desserts on display which you could pick at the counter. First is coconut long black coffee. Coffee didn't over power the coconut which I like it a lot. It's best taken in cold. Seafood Tomyum rice set. It's not spicy where you could request to add more spicesness to it. Fyi. Thai style green curry chicken pasta is nice as well. With Thai basil leave added, brings the flavor out more to it. One of my fav for today is sour&spicy kerabu grill pork collar. Super yummy with he tenderness of the pork. I would suggest to add some chili padi to it. Finally to cleanse your taste buds is Tub Tim grob. A popular thai dessert where waterchest nut and chempedak are added to coconut milk, served cold. FYI, there are no a-la-cart on dishes. All are in set of rice. Good experience with this...

This pet-friendly Thai restaurant is an absolute gem! The owners are super friendly and treat all the visiting pets like family. Every time I bring my furry kid here, we feel so welcomed and cared for.

The food is authentic and absolutely delicious. Reasonable price and worth it as each dish is bursting with flavour. Their seafood tomyam soup, grilled pork collar, deep fried pork and thai milk tea are to die for! We went there many many times for dinner when we bring our furry kid out for dinner. They have new menu for now!

What really sets this place apart is how they go out of their way for pets. They can play around in the restaurant, have furry friends together and even treats from the owner! It’s amazing to enjoy a great meal while knowing your pet is happy and comfortable too.

Huge thanks to the wonderful owners for creating such a warm and welcoming space. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out!

Hidden along Jalan Sri Bahari, The Thai offers a laid-back, café-style setting with tasteful Thai decor and warm service. It’s casual but charming — perfect for a comforting meal without the fuss.

Their Pad Krapow Gai aka the chicken basil is a Thai staple done right. The minced chicken is stir-fried with holy basil, garlic, and chilies, delivering that addictive sweet-salty-spicy punch. It's best enjoyed with a runny fried egg and steamed rice — bold, fragrant, and satisfying

The red duck curry is the balance between the richness of the duck and the fruity tang of the curry makes this dish memorable and slightly decaden.

Kana Moo Krob aka the crispy pork belly with chinese kale. This dish delivers on texture and flavor. The pork belly is golden, crunchy, and not overly greasy — stir-fried with crisp Chinese kale and a savory soy-based sauce. Slightly smoky, slightly sweet, and very moreish

These three dishes are highly...
