Oh Talay — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

Looked promising but I was disappointed. First of all, many dishes get sold out by the dinner time so I suggest to come earlier. The crab curry had good flavors but the crab was uneventful, small and the meat inside was dry (old crab?). I also felt very heavy after eating it, not sure which oils they use and how much. Morning glory was just fine. But the giant shrimps glazed in sweet sauce were so rough (again, either very overcooked or not fresh) that I could barely eat them. I came back just to try their glass noodle casserole with crab meat, to see if they can redeem themselves, and it was thankfully good but it’s not exactly a hard dish to make. Overall, somewhere between 3 and 4 for me, pending other items like snapper which I didn’t have...

I do not recommend this resturant. Came in from the good reviews but the overall experience was very disappointing - staff seem uninterested when we walked in, the food took a long time to be cooked and I suspected the giant river shrimps were not fully cooked and the food poisoning both myself and my partner had proved it. The price was dear too but I would've paid happily should the food be good, but it seems they do the bare minimum in cooking and serving. An example is the thorny giant river legs served as-is, not served with shell removed like some other less expensive resturants would....

Think twice before coming here.

Average taste, not alive shrimp, super expensive. The live shrimp in the tank looks like just for display purposes. Restaurant was super empty (red flag, we should turn around immediately) Waiter did not say a single word during the visit. That giant shrimp is mushy and flavorless. It cost 1100. It is not only not alive, but had been dead for a while 😞

Reviews are skeptical of being skewed or...
