We came here on the suggestion of a friend who raved about the restaurant's Thai/Brazilian fusion offerings. The atmosphere is just as lovely as described with its soft candlelight and lived-in touches like mismatched vintage plates. The food, however, is only okay. The mixed appetizer plate we ordered was fairly forgettable and the curries could use some spicing up. I would definitely return for drinks but probably not for dinner.

Its menu is all over the world, with Thai, Brazilian, Indian, South American, and even Italian dishes, plus hand-crafted jewelry for sale, which are largely displayed on the first floor. Their décor is chaotic, but at the same time, kind of cool. None of the dishes really stood out: Ceviche Megusta: interesting addition of coconut milk, fish well seasoned; though sweet potato chips were so thin that they were breaking very easily, the best part of this dish were the chips! Escondidinho de costela: greasy and heavy, meh. Cubinhos de peixe com molho de curry verde: sauce tasted like Mae Ploy Green curry paste with coconut milk and sugar, cubes of fish were dry, tough, and overcooked. Service: ... hold on, I'm still waiting for my drink! No, not really, but service was extremely slow. Overall, I don't think I will be back too soon at this snazzy restaurant. Overpriced, slow service, this place feels like a Thai restaurant in a very small town, like in Laramie, that serves Thai, Chinese, Laos, you name it!

I lived in Sao Paulo for 5 months. All I wanted was some Thai food…read more Someone recommended Tian to me, and much to my delight, we ended up moving into Itaim, just a few blocks from it! First off, this is legit Thai. The dishes are authentic and delicious. They have wonderful cocktails. They have lots of vegetarian options!!! We frequented this restaurant several time during our stay in Brasil. The food was always delicious, though the service would range from fabulous to nonexistent. A few times my veggie tom kha soup had to be sent back because it arrived with chicken in it. (And trust me, we ordered in Portuguese.) However, despite the occasional mistakes, and the occasional rude server, we still loved the restaurant. They have great lunch specials as well! A must try if you love Thai.

Well, the first time I went here I was impressed by the ambiance and the chic decor. I went with a…read morecouple friends and we ordered four plates, the only one that stood out was the lamb curry. I am big fan of Thai food and was really looking forward to those bold flavors. The experience was nice but nothing special. My husband and I decided to go back this weekend so I could determine if maybe it was just the chef that night that didn't deliver what was expected. Honestly the environment is so relaxing it's hard not to want to dine here. We tried to order the lamb curry and they "were out". We thought okay this is opportunity to order some completely different plates. We ordered the duck curry and efu noodles. The food arrived and the curry looked and smelled delicious, as soon as we took our first bite we both agreed it was lacking that tangy kick , it had the spice but nothing else, barely even any flavor. We were surprised because it smelled so good! We asked for lime and salt to add ourselves which made it much better. The noodles were so so and overall I was a disappointed and we probably won't be coming back but I will say the restaurant is beautiful, relaxing, and romantic and the staff is very warm and helpful. They just need to get a chef that contributes to the wonderful setup they have there.

Don't expect it to come out as quick as they do in the US. What I like is that the pad thai that I ordered had some good kick to it and they gave me a side of the spices as well so I could add some more heat to the dish. Definitely will come back when I'm in town.
