TULOU Restaurant — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

Food was really good! We ate Peking Duck with the option to have it with meat and skin together. The other option is skin only then meat prepared another way, i.e. suauted in a black ppepper sauce. I prefer the skin and meat together without any further preparation of the duck. The duck was served with plum sauce, sliced cucumbers and scallion sticks. Prepared by your self. I loved it! It compared with the best that I had in Hong Kong! We also ate a Thai Lana style dish with crispy lightly fried snapper cubed served with a dipping tamarind sauce with peanuts and a three flavored Thai seafood sauce. I created a wrap with the fish in lettuce and added peanuts fresh and roasted, limes, dried shrimp, ginger, shallots, chilies, then added the sauces wrapped and it. The sauces were delictable! This dish was delicious! The Somtum, traditional Thai style green papaya salad was spicy and fresh. The seafood fried rice had a good flavor but the squid was tough and difficult to chew and it lacked flavor.

This restaurant has been open 3 weeks. The food presentations were beautiful, flavors were spot on, but the service was lack luster. The restaurant is enormous and the staff were spread out so we didn't see them much. They need a table top paging system. Surprised they didn't have one! The restaurant is very beautiful and I really enjoyed my experience there. I'll be back for sure. It's also open until midnight! Finding a good reataurant that's beautiful and first rate open later than 9 PM is a challenge in Chiang Mai. So, Tulou is certainly the go to option for any late night diners. Parking was paved well lit and plentiful. ...

Before driving to Tulou at 4pm for late lunch and check on google map to notice is close and will open again at 5pm, so we make a call just to make sure is open and reserve a table.

The lady pick up the call and say Tulou always open sound like we are asking stupid question.......so we reserve a table for 4 and told her will be there by 4.15 - 4.30pm.

When arrive Tulou, whole place so empty and they bring us to our table and tell us that the kitchen is close until 5pm, so we have to stay hungry from 4.15 and wait till 5pm for their kitchen to open.

Unable to wait and feel so stupid to tell us is open at 4pm when we called but yet have to wait for 5pm for kitchen to open.......o why can't they just tell us open at 5pm???

so the restaurant is open always but we have to sit there like an idiot to wait for their kitchen to open????

Never try Tulou and was think to give it a try but really piss us off.......head to Jie Tong Heng and food there much cheaper and delicious, and kitchen really open with smart and polite staffs there.

Never going to try Tulou, not...

Pros: The place is very luxurious and huge with ample car park The view from inside and outside the restaurant is fantastic There is a karaoke stage where people can go up to sing The staff is polite and attentive There are VIP rooms Cons: The food is only average (not special). There are other places with better tasting Chinese food. The food is very expensive at more than 200 baht just for one plate of noodles or fried rice. Almost every main dish is above 200 baht except for the Dim Sum. The food serving is very small for the main dish. Even smaller for the Dim Sum Chinese tea is not served free. The staff singer on stage cannot sing well and she is singing in Thai but not Chinese. They should cut down on the number of staff just standing there and doing nothing; improve the quality and quantity of the food and lower the price of the food to attract...
