Amazing little gem of Marikina. Really good Thai food patterned for the Filipino palate. Menu is…read morepretty basic and the usual Thai fare of Pad Thai, Tom Yum and Bagoong Rice are dubbed as best sellers but with good reason. The Bagoong Rice is a meal in itself with all the flavor palates present. Crab rice is great as well- no Kani sticks included, only real crabmeat. Hefty servings and unbeatable prices. Complete your Siamese meal by adding peanuts, chili powder and vinegar on your noodles as you please! It adds up to the experience. Down everything with their Thai Milk Tea which you can taper down the sweetness by request.

Decorations in Thailand are unique and the restaurant here in Malakas street in Quezon City just makes you feel you are in Bangkok. I like their pad thai. It is similar to that pad thai in Tesco Lotus. It's rich in flavours and it is really oily! the bean sprouts still have the crunch in it and the nuts are sprinkled on top without making tipid on it! Their tom yum is just the tom yum a Thai friend cooked for me: it tastes like the tom yum mix they usually use. hihi. Chicken pandan has the pandan aroma and taste in it. What sets this Thai restaurant apart from any Thai restaurant in Manila is that they sell goodies from Thailand. So, if you miss you favourite tamarind candy or you want that ointment or get some trinkets from Thailand, its almost sure they have it there. Dine and shop and experience Thai flavour!

Overall rating: 4.25 stars…read more Thai Foon is this wonderful modern Thai restaurant located along Gil Fernando Avenue in San Roque, Marikina City. The dining area is cozy and casual, and the waitstaff are very attentive and friendly. Tom Yum Goong (or Hot and Sour Soup with Prawns) - I have had tom yum goong at other popular chain restaurants before, and I can say that Thai Foon's tom yum goong is the most well-balanced as far as flavor is concerned. The prawns were slightly overcooked, but the joy of partaking in a good soup as a prelude to a meal is in the excitement and anticipation that it brings to the palate, and in the company of friends you share it with. Tom Kha Gai - Hot and spicy soup with chicken, coconut milk, and galangal. Warm, spicy, creamy, and filling. This is the Asian version of that classic chicken soup that Westerners enjoy during chilly weather. Spicy Minced Pork with Lettuce - This is my favorite dish of the entire spread. Equal parts sweetness and fiery heat, the assertive flavors of the meat and sauce are cut down by the freshness of the greens. Crispy Catfish with Green Mango Salad - This dish is a play on textures. The catfish was a delicious yet light treat, cooked to crispy perfection and well-seasoned. The green mango salad wasn't quite what I expected--I am used to fresh and crisp slivers of that mildly sour fruit--but the pickled vegetable texture is a good foil to the deep-fried fish. Pineapple Fried Rice - Our fried rice had so much pineapple and sausage in it that it is a complete meal on its own. Green Curry Pork - This is my second favorite dish of the day. Warm and spicy with a subdued level of heat, I highly recommend having this dish with the pineapple fried rice. That was an awesome combination! We also had Deep Fried Chicken Wings with Sweet Chili Sauce, Chicken Satay, Fresh Spring Rolls, and Pad Thai. Thank you to YouTuber What the F! for taking me with her to the food tasting event at Thai Foon. You can find this restaurant at the ground floor of the Manila HealthTek Building, Gil Fernando Avenue, San Roque, Marikina City. It's worth the trip to Marikina City!

Our…read moregroup of six walked in without a reservation (luckily they squeezed us in), and right away the vibe felt welcoming--elegant but not stuffy, with beautiful wood accents and soft lighting that made everything feel special. We started with the pomelo salad--bright, zesty, perfectly balanced with just the right kick--and then dove into the grilled pork skewers, which were smoky, tender, and gone in seconds. The star for me was the steamed sea bass with chili-lime sauce; the fish was so fresh it practically melted, and that sauce had me spooning it over everything. Even the pad see ew was a step above what I've had elsewhere--chewy noodles, great wok hei, not too sweet. Portions felt generous for the quality, and nothing was overly oily or heavy. Service was flawless. Our server remembered who ordered what without writing anything down and kept the water and tea flowing without us ever asking. They even brought out a little complimentary mango sticky rice at the end because it was one of our birthdays--such a thoughtful touch. Hands down one of the best Thai meals I've had in Manila. Worth every peso and I'll be back next time I'm in town. 5 stars all the way.

Our water glasses were always full. Food - we ordered pomelo salad, papaya salad, and if I recall correctly, a beef sate or bbq. Everything was fresh and delicious.

None of the restaurants were attractive enough until I told her, let's do Thai. It's been a long while since we sat in to eat. Post covid.... Basil was empty but we have eaten here before and it was never a disappointment. Let us see if anything has changed. First dish was crispy spring roll and two sauces, sweet&sour and garlic chili. 10/10 Second, third and fourth dishes all showed up at the same time. Shrimp paste fried rice (bagoong fried rice), pad thai and bbq pork skewers. Out of all 3, the best were bagoong fried rice and bbq pork skewers. Having some nice suka (vinegar) with the skewers hit the spot! Pad thai was ok but not too crazy about it. The noodles were a bit chewy and my guess is the cook didn't toss and stir it enough. The taste though was spot on. Overall, 8.5/10 As for overall decor, ambiance was nice. Quiet was also a bonus and nobody around due to covid. That's a bonus. 8/10

Basil is one of the top 3 places that immediately come to mind when I'm in the mood for Thai food…read more It's become a sort of family staple, since it's such a short drive from our house, and I can say without exaggerating that the food is excellent. (I would have given it 5 stars if the prices were a bit more student / young adult friendly, and if it were a bit easier to park.) The interiors are very well done. I think the look they're trying to go for is Indochinese nature spa complete with subdued lighting and the ever present smell of incense. They even have a waterfall type fountain that drains into a koi pond. That is beside the point, because you forget all about the ambiance once you start eating. They seem to have perfected the flavor and texture of each dish I've tried. I'm usually not big on spicy food, but lately I've been finding myself craving a lot for their Tom Yum. The broth is just the right mix of creamy sourness and spice. Other favorites are the Crispy Catfish Salad, the Prawns Wrapped in Noodles, the Beef Short Ribs and the Chicken with Cashew. If you're feeling extra sinful, the Sticky Rice with Mango or Thai Halu Halo make good choices for dessert.

I love the homage to Stanley Kubrick painted on the wall (Full Metal Jacket is one of my favorite films!), and I find myself mentally replaying the scene where The Joker and Rafterman are having afternoon beers while the Vietnamese prostitute saunters over and delivers her now immortalized spiel, to the tune of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'." The only food I've tried on the menu is their Pad Thai (which isn't Vietnamese, BTW), which for less than 150 pesos is an excellent plate of vegetarian pad thai. I prefer my pad thai to balance the umami of patis with lots of citrus and maybe a dab of sweetness. Me Love You Long Time's pad thai has a great recipe for it, and trust that I always make a bee line for MLYLT whenever I'm at the Z Compound (if I'm not lining up for Meshwe instead!).

Won't you satay with me, 'cause you're all I need?…read more I admit I got horribly punny while eating at the al fresco dining area of Me Love You Long Time. It was our anniversary night and we decided to go adventuring along Maginhawa and because of budget constraints, we ended up sourcing food from the different establishments in Malingap's Z Compound. One of these was Me Love You Long Time, and despite my lobster nodding conspiratorially at the name and insisting that it's from Full Metal Jacket, nothing clicked. I stopped caring when the food arrived, though. I had pho ("pho you!" I chuckled, as the waitress glared at me disapprovingly) while my Bicolano lobster had the spicier Thai chicken curry and chicken satay. The food was hot in more ways than one, so I balanced it out with their delicious Thai milk tea (if it's a Thai place, should I just call it milk tea?) We capped off the meal with their highly-recommended (by another Yelp scout, no less) langka ice cream. The owners make it themselves, and it was langka-mazing.

I had just returned from a trip to Thailand, and felt like seeing what Manila had to offer. I got a…read moreMetroDeal for this restaurant, so we went. It's in the Block section of SM City North Edsa, but it does have waiter service and tables. Jatujak's menu seems to be more of Filipino Thai fusion than authentic Thai. The MetroDeal had to be used all at once, so we ended up getting a lot of items on the menu. We got the steamed lapu lapu, crispy pata in red curry, crispy noodles, fried snapper, pad thai, pork spring rolls, glass noodle salad, papaya salad, tofu salad, and catfish salad. I can't say that most of these are straight Thai. They were all pretty good, but most of them were much sweeter than I would have liked, especially the pad thai. I would say that the pad thai was bad. The pork spring rolls were definitely just extra large lumpia shanghai. But i did enjoy the Crispy Pata in Red Curry. The crispy pata was cooked well and the red curry had a touch of heat. Jatujak stood no match for anything in Thailand, but I wouldn't be opposed to eating here.

I really find it weird that there are so few Thai restaurants in Manila. Given how much other…read morecuisines are represented, you'd think that Thai food would be more commonplace. It's sad, really, as I love the interplay of flavors associated with it. One of the bastions of hope in serving up decent Thai food in the Metro is Jatujak. They've been in business for a couple of years already and thankfully haven't shut down their doors. Throughout the years, even at different branches, Jatujak has been consistent in delivering the goods. I usually order the red curry beef. It could be a tad spicier but I guess it is tuned more for the local palate. The chicken pandan is also good, although I find them to be a wee bit small. The pad thai noodles are always cooked al dente and they don't scrimp on the toppings, which is always a good sign.

Very convenience. We tried many of them and found that they're average at best. As you cross the main street, the other side of Denny's, there are even more restaurants and the price seems less expensive. Easy Tiger falls in the same "average" class. We ordered Pad Thai, pad see ew and papaya salad, all of which are typical Thai dishes. They all lack authenticity and taste. Even the Thai milk tea lacks taste. The service here is also "average" as compared to other restaurants around. PS. If you're senior, over 60, you can ask for a senior discount of about 20% in most restaurants. Just show your ID.

So if you haven't already been here, I'll just make it clear that this restaurant will forever be in my top 10 simplify because it hits all the right notes for a reliable and consistent comfort food type of meal for me. Value wise, I think it gets it right. It may not seem cheap when read of the menu, BJ it you do get sizable portions (American portions) making it worth it overall. Having lived in Thailand, I wouldn't exactly call this place authentic Thai, it's more like Filipino Thai. Things are a little sweeter and saltier than you'd normally get if it were authentic Thai, but I'm not complaining. That's probably exactly why this place is popular amongst Filipinos. I'm so glad I came across this restaurant. It took me back home to Cali.
