The best Thai restaurants in Klang Valley, according to Tatler Best 2025

An extension of Bangkok’s Chim by Siam Wisdom, the restaurant is driven by culinary storytelling and shines the spotlight on Thai cooking, history, and ancient recipes reinvented with contemporary techniques. A standout here proves to be The Lost Recipe, a forgotten recipe thought to have originated 200 years ago crafted with fish and robust Thai aromatics. Menus here rotate with the seasons and diners can expect the establishment’s beverage programme to follow suit with its sommelier curating alcohol pairings for every lineup of dishes and offering personalised wine pairings.

Established by acclaimed chef Darren Chin and his wife Nana, Gai by Darren Chin revisits familiar Thai recipes, uplifting them with precision and soul. Crafted with ingredients sourced from Thailand and Malaysia, meals here take shape with the restaurant’s signature seafood tom yum featuring Songkhla river prawns and panang red curry made with hand pounded curry paste and fresh coconut milk.

This contemporary Thai restaurant is helmed by Nikom Uatthong and loved for its hearty, comforting offerings that suit the local palate, blending familiar flavours with innovative combinations rarely found in other Thai restaurants. Since 2013, the restaurant has been known for its vibrant curries and aromatic stir fries, which are colourful, textural, and ideal for sharing. Don’t miss the Gaeng Raweng Kurobuta Pork Neck curry with turmeric and young jackfruit and the jumbo prawn Tom Khlong Goong. 

Chef Kornn, who hails from Bangkok, Thailand, aims to bring authentic Thai food and experience into Kuala Lumpur. Having previous experiences in established Thai restaurants such as Erawan, he ventured off to open his own venue. La Moon is famed for its crab meat omelette and spicy glass noodles—in every dish, their ingredients are fresh and succulent, and the quality is evident. The ambiance is friendly and bright, making it a good spot for a good catch up with friends and family.
