Piri-Piri Flaming Chicken Don Muang — Restaurant in Sanam Bin Subdistrict

During a layover at Don Muang Airport last month, my family and I, hungry and in need of a quick meal, stumbled upon Piri Piri Flaming Chicken. Having seen "piri piri" on the menu, I was reminded of the familiar flavors of Portuguese BBQ, a cuisine I've often enjoyed during my time in the UK. Naturally, I expected a similar, flavorful experience. Unfortunately, what we encountered could not have been further from that expectation.

From the moment we approached the counter, it was clear that this would not be an enjoyable dining experience. The establishment's cleanliness left much to be desired. The tables were grimy, and the overall atmosphere felt neglected. Still, we proceeded to order, hoping that the food might redeem the environment. We couldn’t have been more wrong.

The chicken, which should have been the star of the meal, was shockingly subpar. The meat had an unpleasant odor, hinting that it may have been far from fresh, and it was so overcooked that it was almost inedible. Dry, tough, and flavorless, it lacked any of the juicy, smoky qualities one would associate with a proper piri piri dish. It was a struggle to get through even a few bites.

As if the lackluster food wasn’t enough, the service was equally disappointing. The staff member who attended to us seemed utterly disinterested in providing even a basic level of hospitality. Instead of verbal communication, he gestured with his hands for most interactions, giving the impression that engaging with customers was an inconvenience. To clarify, this individual did not appear to have any impairments that prevented him from speaking—he simply didn’t seem to care.

Overall, our experience at Piri Piri Flaming Chicken was one to forget. If you ever find yourself at Don Muang Airport, I would strongly advise seeking out other dining options. Save yourself the disappointment.

지난달 돈무앙 공항에서 환승 중, 가족과 함께 간단한 식사를 찾다가 Piri Piri Flaming Chicken을 발견했습니다. 메뉴에 "piri piri"가 적혀 있는 걸 보고 포르투갈 BBQ의 익숙한 맛을 떠올렸고, 영국에서 자주 즐겼던 그 맛이리라 생각했습니다. 그러나 기대와는 정반대의 경험을 하게 되었습니다.

주요 메뉴인 치킨은 충격적으로 형편없었습니다. 고기는 불쾌한 냄새가 나며 신선하지 않은 듯 했고, 과도하게 조리되어 거의 먹을 수 없는 상태였습니다. 육즙이 없어 매우 건조하고 맛이 없었으며, piri piri의 매력적인 맛은 전혀 느낄 수 없었습니다. 몇 입 먹는 것조차 힘들었습니다.

음식뿐만 아니라 서비스 또한 실망스러웠습니다. 저희를 응대한 직원은 고객과의 기본적인 소통조차 귀찮아하는 듯 보였습니다. 언어로 소통하기보다는 손짓으로 대부분의 대화를 했고, 고객 응대가 매우 불편한 듯한 인상을 주었습니다. 물론 이 직원이 말할 수 없는 장애가 있었던 것은 아니었으며, 단순히 고객을 응대하는 것 자체가 귀찮아 보였습니다.

결론적으로 Piri Piri Flaming Chicken에서의 경험은 돈을 버렸다는 생각만 들게 합니다. 돈무앙 공항에 가게 되신다면 바로 옆에 있는 서브웨이나 맥도날드에서 식사를 하는게...

Not much food choices at DMK Bangkok airport and most of the food here are pretty pricy compared to food in Bangkok city. Settled for Piri piri chicken (rather than BK) because it provided a proper place to sit and eat and you can get a beer here. Between the grilled chicken and the chicken burger, I pick the burger. The chicken fillet for the burger is tender and tasty and it comes with a decent amount of vegetables. The grilled chicken is tasty but too dry. The unique thing here is that they provide you with 5 different types of chilli sauce. Service is a little slow though but the people were friendly. Total for half grilled chicken with fries, a chicken burger with fries and a can of beer...

Superb service and the best food available in the airport by far. If you are not into chicken their double bbq beef burger is awesome, giant real beef burgers not factory pink goo burgers there are a full San Fran style gourmet burgers at prices better than competing low level burger mongers in the airport making it a no brainer in Don Muang Piri Piri for main course then over to Starbucks for coffee and...
