First off - I'm a huge foodie. I'll drive two hours for good food without giving it a second thought. I'm also a tough grader. I have a high bar for what exceptional food is. I rarely write reviews but I wanted to write a review of Tamnanthai because I had such a good experience there. I highly recommend it.
My wife and I had a great dining experience at this cozy, family-run restaurant. It’s a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal, whether you're out on a date, celebrating a birthday, catching up with friends, or having a family gathering.
The food was really solid across the board. We ordered the Massaman curry, pineapple fried rice, steamed seabass in lime sauce, and jasmine rice — everything was flavorful and well-executed. The Massaman curry was rich and comforting, with a generous portion perfect for two. The seabass was fresh and tender, with a beautifully balanced lime sauce that really brought the dish to life. The pineapple fried rice was fragrant and satisfying.
What made the experience even better was the genuine hospitality. The owner and her daughter were so kind and attentive — they chatted with us about our preferences and even brought out a dish we hadn’t ordered, just so we could try something new. That kind of warmth is rare and really appreciated.
The prices were fair — not the cheapest, but definitely not overpriced considering the quality and portions. It felt well worth it.
Overall, this is the kind of place you come back to — not just for the food, but for the...
Read moreAbsolutely phenomenal! Dining at Tamnanthai was an unforgettable experience that redefined what authentic Thai cuisine can be. This isn’t just Thai food—it’s Thai food elevated to a whole new level of quality, taste, and presentation.
From the moment you walk in, the modern yet cozy atmosphere wraps you in warmth. The decor is stylish but inviting, striking the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the entire evening feel personal and genuinely welcoming.
Now, the food—where do I even begin? Every dish bursts with flavor and showcases the exceptional quality of ingredients. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, a true testament to the care taken in sourcing and preparation.
Highlights? Absolutely: • The crab cake was perfection—crispy on the outside, rich and flavorful on the inside, with just the right touch of Thai spice. • The pork salad was vibrant and zesty, a refreshing balance of savory, tangy, and herbaceous that danced on the palate. • And the spicy shrimp salad—wow. Bold, fiery, yet perfectly balanced. The shrimp were plump, juicy, and cooked to perfection.
Yes, Tamnanthai may be on the higher end price-wise, but every bite justifies the cost. This is the kind of place you go to not just to eat, but to savor, to celebrate, to experience.
If you’re looking for authentic Thai food done with elegance and soul, Tamnanthai is a must. I’ll be...
Read moreThis is a very well decorated and relaxing spot in the middle of downtown Bangkok. The food was absolutely delicious and there is no artificial flavor or MSG in the dish! Definitely recommended for tourists coming to Thailand to try authentic, clean, and healthy Thai food.
First of all, I have to start with Tamnanthai’s homemade coconut sherbet ice-cream. I thought it would be just a regular three-scoops ice-cream balls, but it was homemade and I can taste the coconut chunks in there. No artificial flavor. Absolutely delicious.
Mango sticky rice is a must-have in Thailand as well! Super ripe and sweet mango. We also had some Tom Yum Seabass here. I have only tried it in the States and never really liked it until I tried the soup here. It was very flavorful and I can feel the flavor bursted in my mouth.
The fried shrimp cake is made from scratch with fresh shrimp and the Thai iced tea is made with real tea with milk... pineapple fried rice is also a must have!
The curry pastes from the restaurant are all homemade... they were also very flavorful from yesterday I have tried. (This is the second time I’ve been here. The food was just so delicious and I don’t wanna risk of having something bad since I’m leaving tomorrow.)
The owner created her own recipes and she tested every single dish to make sure they are delicious and healthy. I admire here dedication of making great food! The price was very reasonable as well. Average price per dish is...
