Chachawan (荷李活道)

營業中

休息中

Hong kong's thai restaurants are mainly serving Bangkok style cuisines nowadays. Chachawan becomes imminently a pioneer in serving Northeastern thai cuisine. The restaurant is in urban setting with friendly vibes. The dining place upstairs was beautifully decorated. Larp Moo was a good choice for appetiser - the chopped pork mince tasted fine with the lettuce and spicy sour dressing. However, I couldn't find the pork skin they listed out in the menu.The mains were incredibly savoury. Gai Yung (I

平時泰國菜吃不少，主要常吃到的都是冬陰功湯炸魚或者咖哩，前幾天和好友去了在上環的Chachawan吃依善泰菜，感覺有點不一樣！這家泰國餐廳坐落於荷里活道上，不是很大但是很多外國人來吃，裝潢也走的是舒適時尚的風格，就是那種直接可以穿舒服衣服下樓吃個飯的舒適感哈哈。依善（Isaan)這地方在泰國的東北部，比鄰老窩和柬埔寨，菜時味道比其他泰國地區要辣，反差比較大。這邊的菜都是即叫即煮，但上菜速度也蠻快的。我們點了幾樣菜share,第一個是Khao Pad($148). 當我以為這只是個普通的炒飯用來填填肚子，我錯了哈哈哈！這家的是用蟹肉和雞蛋洋蔥炒出來的，食材很普通，但是是我吃過最好吃的炒飯！很有鍋氣，不油膩，飯粒粒粒分明，味道剛剛好不會咸不辣。旁邊還配有一小碗秘制醬汁，是很稀的那種汁，味道有點酸酸的，放點在飯裡面一起吃味道很特別！下一道菜是Goong Golae($198). 這是烤虎蝦，有兩大隻，份量不多。大蝦非常新鮮爽口，上面放了一點點乾紅咖哩連皮一起烤，，蝦肉鮮甜，好好吃！依善這地區擅長烤肉，我們點了Khor Moo Yung（$158）, 就是烤豬頸肉。我平常很少吃豬頸肉因為母親大

復活假開始了, 下班後和朋友到chachawan食美食, 喝一杯, 聊聊天. 這間店即使沒有訂座, 但仍然很受歡迎, 座無虛席. 和友人約6點45分到達, 幸好人未算多, 可以即時安排入座. 這裡裝修/設計很特別, 不論牆面設計, 枱櫈, 餐牌或是器皿都有香港五/六十年代的感覺, 但其實是食泰國菜. 哈哈! 牆上的畫作也很漂亮, 更有幾條紅線構成圖案, 非常特別.  Waitress推薦了兩款飲品給我們, 所以友人點了Mango Chia, 我則點了Coconut and Kaffir Lime Leaf Martini.Coconut and Kaffir Lime Leaf Martini入口是咸咸的味道, 像炒菜/香芧的味道, 感覺怪怪的 , 然後會嚐到青檸葉的味道, 但就幾乎沒有椰子味道 , 有點失望呢. 不過再多喝幾口的話, 習慣了這種咸咸的味道反而有種愈喝愈想喝的感覺, 配著酸辣的沙律, 挺不錯的. 試了口友人的Mando Chia, 淡淡的芒果味, 清甜甘香. 這個好像更好喝. 因為晚點約了其他人食飯, 所以只叫了沙律和筷子雞過過口癮.柚子木瓜沙律酸酸甜

本來諗住去皇后街熟食中心食飯，點知佢關閉維修至4月2日唯有搵過第二啲嘢食～用open rice 「附近餐廳」功能搵到呢間泰菜館！我哋第一次食東北泰菜，本來都諗住係啲符合外國人口味嘅泰菜（因為主要係外國人食客居多！）坐低睇食乜時已有驚喜！由於坐喺open kitchen 前嘅吧枱（只係逼咗啲！），煮咩點煮一目了然！我哋唔知每碟份量有幾多，所以先叫咗一個沙律同烤雞先～個脆豬沙律，好有驚喜！個燒肉好脆，夠咸香，叫少辣都好夠！因為東北泰菜比普通泰菜辣！之後嚟個蒜香雞，啲炸蒜超多～整到好似日本嘅木魚絲咁！雖然我唔蒜但都覺得好好味食完後未飽，又見廚師炒嘅炒飯好吸引，叫咗個蟹肉炒飯嚟食！呢個蟹肉炒飯，好乾身，因為真係用冷飯炒（open kitchen我哋睇住），本身個飯好淡味，但配埋佢附上嘅辣椒魚露就一絕正！本來想食個芒果糯米飯作結！但因為已七成飽同男朋友唔比食芒果，唯有叫個crispy banana pancake! 又係出奇地好味初時都驚會太甜，點知唔係！啲味好夾

Yes!  I was attracted to Chachawan by this coconut ice cream!I used to travel to Malaysia often for work, and there was this coconut ice cream place that I go every single time when I am in town.And here I am, a good reason to start my ever first review after having the openrice account for years....  Chachawan is a little chic restaurant, you will love it if you are a spicy food lover ... Like me 

I have not seen a review of this place lately so I thought I’d submit a short update/confirmation.I popped in this place with a buddy and really surprised by the authentic Thai food. I lived in Thailand for 2 years, including Chiang Mai and this food brought me back.The food is bold and full of flavor/spice, just like it should be.The Gai Yun (Chargrilled Chicken thigh) was as good, or even better, than the grilled street food that I used to get in Chiang Mai. BTW, the street food is often the b

週末，沒有留位，六點多來到，原來六點半才可正式入座，被安排先到Bar枱坐叫了兩杯Mocktail，這杯名為Thai Mango Muddle $50 的是將芒果打成茸，再加上一點點Chilli，偶然喝到辣椒粒才會有一點點辣味，上面的是一片泰國芒果加上chilli sugar，很特別的一款飲品Larp Moo $118簡單來說是泰式生菜包，內容有豬肉碎，豬耳，豬皮等等。一上枱已經被那幾片生菜吸引著，很青很新鮮的顏色哦！！本人平時叫生菜包很少真的會夾菜來吃，但這個Larp Moo是我吃過最好吃的一個生菜包！！生菜非常非常新鮮爽甜！加上加了Spicy Sour Dressing既肉碎是一個完美配搭！！十分之好吃！！Gai Yung $158朋友推介的燒雞脾，非常十分之Juicy！雞皮燒得十分香脆，連平常絕不吃雞皮的我也破例連皮一起吃！雞肉十分嫰滑！配上醬汁吃簡直停不了口！這道菜必試！Khor Moo Yung $158豬頸肉有炭燒香味，整體味道正常沒驚喜Khao Pad $132蟹肉炒飯，蟹肉很新鮮，飯的質地有點煙煙韌韌的，是我喜歡的質感！餐後送上泰國芒果片伴Lemon Grass and

周一至周五的午餐Menu都是千篇一律但ChaCha 的「新潮懷舊」泰菜就是叫人食極唔厭。為什麼叫「新潮懷舊」？食過你就知。午餐包兩個主菜或甜品，配白飯或糯米飯和飲品，而拉茶永遠是本人的首選。附圖基本上已覆蓋了差不多整個菜單，請看圖對號入座Menu上的價錢是加價前影的，現在加了少少價，菜色都是一樣，免收加一每個菜都好惹味，生菜包的炒粒粒是激辛的，怕辣的朋友淺嘗也罷；而椰蓉湯丸是咸甜與共的，湯丸激甜椰汁頗咸，各人口味不同，依然值得一試

間日放假的好處, 就係可以試到一D好難先食到既食店.今日過海主要目的係試衫, 下午原本打算去食九記, 上到去見到門都未開就已經有成條長龍排緊隊....唔洗咁誇張呀...最終邅是調頭走.陳生話不如食返之前去過荷李活道果間泰國野, 因為好掛住個生菜包, 所以最後我地就轉陣LU.因為晏少少又想食TEA, 所以今餐都唔係叫好多.冇錯! 叫返一款生菜包, 另加一份燒雞配白飯生菜包仲保持到水準, 好好味! 生菜好新鮮爽脆, 豬肉碎混入少許豬耳, 而且有一些香茅辣味, 對於個人黎講係偏辣既, 不過又忍唔住要食喎. 綜觀其他客人, 都好多檯有叫生菜包架!!另一款烤雞利用一對筷子夾住塊雞件, 好有趣, 亦很有創意. 雞面似塗上一層薄蜜糖, 甜甜的.再點上秘製醬料黎食, 真的一流! 雞塊雖算不上好滑, 但亦算很入味!補充資料：店舖分兩層, 之前幫襯時, 被安排到樓上坐, 環境佈置也很特別上次除左叫生菜包之外, 仲有另一款炸雞, 同一份好似肉碎蛋既餸菜, 同樣好味!

Cha cha wan is more like cha-cha-ching.. for the owners. This hipster infected eatery is everything wrong with gentrification. Despite offering fresh authentic thai cuisine with some modern twists, it comes at a price.  An unreasonable price.If seeing a bunch of hipsters dressed like Pharrell is your thing then this is the place for you. Get ready to shell out 140-170 hkd per tapas sized dish, leaving you a great taste..hungry for more. The problem for me wasn't the food, it was the pricing and

6人共膳，未有訂座服務，齊人才樂意安排位置，刻意7pm前取位，不用等太久！ 店子用懷舊裝修，營造氣氛，全店不很光，也很特別，洋人客較多！被安排的位置正正在喇叭下，播著節奏快，較激昂的英文歌，環境非常嘈吵，已無其他位置可調動， 此外那位置並未有足夠冷氣風口，非常熱， 吃著泰菜就猶如身在泰國一樣 ，頗辛苦的一頓晚餐 ！點了沙律、燒雞、燒魚、生菜包、通菜、炒飯、糯米飯！沙津與慣常吃的沒有兩樣燒雞是招牌菜，賣相特別，只得兩片啊! 肉質可以，味道一般，不過不失，有醬汁可加一點分燒魚的醬汁調味得很恰當，魚也燒得香口生菜包也是不過不失，能有的味道有，沒有甚麼特別通菜是店內唯一的蔬菜，少得有點可憐，調味料又是加分位，還可以的蟹肉炒飯出奇的好味，當中還找到幾片大大片的蟹肉，挺鮮味，是今晚最出色的一道菜燸米飯用小竹筒裝著，每筒份量可想而知，拌著通菜汁吃也是可口的總括醬汁味道比較豐富，餸菜味道與普遍的泰菜館沒有多大分別，平平的質素，中環的價錢，份量少得可憐！ 因餸菜款式不多，價錢欠合理，而且實在太吵太熱 ，所以也無心情吃得很飽便離開！找甜品吃飽算了。肯定的是到九龍城隨意找間地道的，必定比今晚暢快多 ！

I really rate this place. The decor, the atmosphere - lively, but not ridiculously crowded, and the food of course - are all top notch.The food is quite spicy, though you can ask them to make dishes 'white guy spicy' (:-D!) and they'll try and tone it down a bit. Personally I love spicy food, but some friends of mine have had upset tummies because of the level of spice.Stand out dishes: Khao Pad. It's just rice, right? It's delicious - large chunks of crab meat, with an excellent flavour. And it

I still can't believe I haven't tried out one of the hippest eateries on the block. Chachawan has been garnering quite a buzz since its opening last year. There's always a queue when I make my through Hollywood Road. And finally I got to try it. Remember, no reservations. Only walk ins, and full party must be there to be seated. I had a quick cocktail once before- but haven't had dinner there yet. Last time I had the ChaCha Smash, ($95) which consists of Hendricks Gin, Cucumber, mint, coriander

We've been to nahm in Bangkok and enjoyed a lot, hence when we found out chachawan's chef worked in nahm before, we decided its a place that we should go try out. Certainly i can taste the similarity (the spiciness and sometimes, saltiness) in Chachawan and very much enjoyed the food there.Indeed the positioning of Chachawan is on the high end side - but I do think its worth the price if you want to try something different - It is not your average thai food restaurant (those that you can find in

My BF and I got there just in time to grab the last table, which was opposite the bar. The queue built up rather quickly after that.We order three dishes by recommendation. Duck mince salad (warm), I think it was called Lap Bet. The portion wasn't big but you probably wouldn't eat much due to the heavy flavor/spices. We were told it was the least spicy dish, but boy it had a punch. Then for main, we ordered bbq chicken thigh (Gai Yung?) and fried rice (Khao Pad, I think). The chicken thigh was t
