Thipsamai Review

This is a good simple meal I've had in Bangkok, Thailand. It's basically a dish of rice with plenty of ingredients. I often invite three or five friends to come over, order one each, and share the delicious joy. The key point is that the environment and service here are also very good, it's simply a paradise for small gatherings.

The pad thai here is fried in shrimp oil which dyes the noodles red. Don't worry though, it's not spicy and tastes great. The pad thai is ok but nothing special, just average. Service was good but they were out of the king prawns (recommended on the menu) so I had to settle for the regular king prawns.

A very famous fried rice noodle shop in Bangkok, mainly serving tiger prawn rice noodles. It is also a popular shop among tourists. The tiger prawns are not particularly fresh, but frozen, so the ordinary version tastes better.

Many people recommend this restaurant. I looked at the guide and found that everyone's recommendations are different. There are only 4 of us, and we have been eating here all the way, so we can't order more. You will feel that it is very lively when you arrive at this place. There are many locals and tourists. When we were at a loss, we led a table of tourists to ask for help, and then we got it done. But I can only say that it is not my cup of tea and I can't get used to it.

We went to this restaurant after reading all the great reviews online and it turned out to be amazing! The place was busy so the wait for food was longer than other street stalls but it was worth it! We ordered the shrimp pad thai with egg, the shrimp was very pink and the noodles tasted amazing! 90 baht is a very reasonable price for shrimp in this area (other places with shrimp are around 70). Not many tourists know about this place even though it is super popular with locals. She said that this restaurant has the best pad thai in Bangkok so my expectations were very high. But after eating it I felt it was just average and not that great actually. Not bad but not "wow" level as everyone said. We had to queue before entering the restaurant but I really don't think the wait was worth it. However, the orange juice they sell is amazing. I prefer orange juice to pad thai.

Once in a taxi, the driver said thipsamai thipsamai to me. I wondered what he was talking about. He pointed to the long queue and gave a thumbs up and said NO.1 NO.1. I immediately thought that I would come to eat tomorrow, and then I started to queue up. To be honest, it was not as terrible as I imagined. It took about half an hour or less than an hour. If you have a disability, you can sit at the door of the restaurant first. The store is not big, there are only a few tables, but it is fast to eat, so you can go in and out quickly. Orange juice is my first recommendation. The big pulp is super delicious! Then there is the special egg-wrapped Thai fried rice noodles here. The taste is a bit sweet. As a Shanghainese, I think it is a bit sweet, but it is still delicious. The rest of the taste is about the same. Overall, it is worth a visit. The price is not cheap, the service is OK, and the restaurant sells dry goods. You can buy some boxed rice noodles to cook at home.

The Thai fried noodles there are very good and not greasy. Both the rice vermicelli and noodles are good. The best thing is the coconut ice, which has a strong coconut flavor and is not expensive. It is very refreshing after drinking it and is very powerful.
