This place ranks amongst the best Thai we have had in places ranging from Chicago, New York, Melbourne, Sydney and so many places in between. We could not fault a single thing. What else can I say?
Our evening on our Oxford day trip concluded with a dinner at Chiang Mai Kitchen. We paced ourselves rather well over our day, and timed the meal with enough space to get to the station with ease. Chiang Mai brings the elegance and charm of Thailand to this town. There’s some gorgeous presentation on offer and the curry knocked our (tired) socks right off. We took our seats promptly, but we needn’t had rushed at all, the kitchen serves all items quick-fire. We ordered the Massaman curry beef (£9.95), chicken cashew stir-fry (£8.70) and the fried tofu (£6). And a side of arbitrary coconut rice (£3.40).
Quite a difficult place to find, tucked away off the high street, but once you make it through the doors and up the rickety stairs, there are several dining rooms to sit in and enjoy a Thai meal. Expect to find the typical Thai dishes, all reasonably priced, all decently flavoured. Had the pad thai, which went down a treat. A couple from the group ordered the sea bass which took an extra 15 minutes - quite awkward having to decide whether to wait for them, or enjoy your food at the right temperature. The chef should really have prepared the sea bass first and then the rest of the dishes so we could have all eaten together.
