Brilliantly Authentic Thai Food!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/20/07
We headed to the Chaing MAi Kitchen last night on recommendation from friends. IT had also been quoted in Conde Nast as the place where Oxford ladies lunch so we rang and made a reservation....lucky we did. When we arrived (down very secluded passage way which is easy to miss) the place was heaving and they were turning people away in droves. The staff are polite and friendly and the restaurant has great atmosphere. We ordered and the starters arrived promptly and were utterly devine (stuffed chicken wings and thai pork dumplings). The mains were even better and totally authentic, nothing altered and spiced as they would be in Thailand, none of the usual "watered down" for western palate affair! I can't recommend this place highly enough, but be sure to book well in advance to be sure of getting in...it was Wednesday eve when we went and it was HEAVING! Enough said! Be sure to order Pad bai graprow neua saap....its fantastic!
