Chim by Siam Wisdom — Restaurant in Thanon Nakhon Chai Si Subdistrict

DON'T DESERVE ANY MICHELIN STAR. Michelin commitee and Chef Noom, you can do Bangkok and Thai cuisine more justice than this, what a shame. DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AND MONEY at this restaurant. We have been to numerous Michelin restaurants around the world and this is THE WORST we have been to. Long wait time between set dishes, served out of order, missing and wrong dishes served.

We totally agree with other negative reviews, wished we had seen them before going. Clearly the arrogant restaurant with its "star" does not care about returning guests and previous feedback.

At arrival the host lady boast to us that the restaurant is not able to handle the 'large' amount of reservations, thus they only offer two set menus. So we had ordered both the premium set and special set in order to taste the entire menus. The food was mostly cold. They missed the palate cleanser and only served it to us after we had asked because the main course finally arrived after +15 mins wait. The host lady said to us that the palate cleanser can be skipped! Skipped?!

The main course arrived in parts over 10 mins and they tried to sneak in the Beef dish for the Scallop dish. Only when we pointed out, then the host lady realized it's wrong and replaced the right dish. The meal was mostly cold. When the host lady asked us for our thoughts we had told her that the dishes (ie. curry) were not warm enough to enjoy the aroma, she blamed it on us for sitting near the Air Con as we asked to sit closer to the musicians.

If you still decide to go, be careful of being served bottle water. They will continuously open new bottles for you without asking and charging it to your bill. Our party of three order three ice teas and was charged 3 bottles although we each only had 2 small glass of water.

After the host lady had asked for our comment, she asked if we atleast got good photos and told us that it's most important. What and insult to the chef and customers. With our suggestions they have us a 10% discount for a $8000 baht bill, it cannot reverse the bad memory and 4 hours wasted. Hopefully no one will waste any more time!

Bangkok food stalls can do...

I had 30 hours in Bangkok, and chose three Michelin starred restaurants: 1. Nahm (lunch), 2. Aksorn (dinner) and 3. Chim at Siam Wisdom (lunch).

The TL;DR is that Chaim @SW was the most outstanding of the three of them for me.

Booking seems to be be only by social media: I did it on Facebook by messaging them. It's a bit weird, and I am sure that the unconventional booking experience puts some off, but it's worth the effort.

If you have enjoyed David Thompson's style of Thai cooking (Aksorn and formerly Nahm), you will not be disappointed. In fact I'd say you'll be more than pleasantly surprised. This isn't Thompson's cooking, chef is very clearly his own man, but there is a distinct lineage.

This was a tasting menu only, and be prepared to spend at least 2.5 hours doing it.

I felt that the wine list was limited: I was close to just having a beer instead. I'm quite the fan of riesling and gewurztraminer with spicy Thai food, but had no luck here. I ended up with a Grifoll Declara, Gran Predicat Blanc de Bota Priorat.

The restaurant is on the second storey of the building, and the style inside is reminiscent of Jim Thompson's house. I couldn't tell how much was real and how much was faux, but it seemed authentic enough to my very untrained eye in that I couldn't identify the difference with my cursory knowledge.

I had a good chat with chef. Very down to earth and chatty, we discussed his career in London, with which I'm the most familiar, and his background in the Gordon Ramsay empire as well as working with David Thompson when he ran the Nahm in London, the first Thai restaurant in the world to gain a Michelin star.

I'm going to put my neck out, and probably annoy David, but of the three restaurants I tried in my 30 hours, Chim at Siam Wisdom was a clear...

We had an amazing experience at Chim by Siam Wisdom! Our family of three traveled to Thailand, and this dinner was not only a special family gathering but also a celebration of my father’s birthday. From the moment we stepped in, everything just felt warm and welcoming.

Compared to another Michelin-starred Thai restaurant we tried in the city center, Chim by Siam Wisdom was on a completely different level. The dinner menu was thoughtfully designed to take us on a culinary journey through Thailand, from the north to the south. Every dish was introduced in detail by the staff, and you could really feel the passion and craftsmanship behind each plate.

One thing that really stood out was the backyard herb garden—many of the ingredients used in our dishes came straight from there, which made the flavors even fresher and more authentic. You can tell how much love and effort go into every dish, and that’s exactly why we chose this place for such a special occasion.

The service was truly incredible—not only attentive but also genuinely caring. The staff took the time to explain every dish in detail, ensuring we understood the inspiration and ingredients behind each creation. Even the chefs played a role in making the experience special. They were always there at just the right moments, anticipating our needs without being intrusive. You could feel their passion for hospitality in every interaction. They even helped us surprise my dad with a birthday celebration, which made the night even more memorable. Really appreciated their kindness and efforts!

Honestly, this was one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve ever had in Bangkok. 10/10, no doubt. If you’re looking for an unforgettable Thai dining experience, this is the...
