Finally...I found it...a legit Thai restaurant in São Paulo!!! After years of searching, when I stumbled across this place I wasn't sure what to expect. Then we got the Pad Thai and I was in love We got the fresh rolls to start with the "vegetarian sauce" (peanut sauce) and they were quite good. The chicken Pad Thai was the closest thing to real Pad Thai I've ever had in Brazil. We paired that with a panceta stir fry dish that was also delicious. We devoured everything. However, the most impressive thing was actually the mango sticky rice. It was also quite a large dish, so save room if you are a dessert person. 11/10 will be going back here.

My dad and I loved the restaurant! The Pad Thai and the House's Lamen were incredible. The attention provided by the server who attended us in English (She commented that she was from the Philippines) was spectacular too, she was asking if we were satisfied with the dishes and if we had suggestions regarding it (she did this to other clients, which I find really nice!). If we visit Saõ Paulo again, for sure we will return to Thai Chef! 10/10 Muchas gracias desde Chile!

The best Thai restaurant (in Sao Paulo) that can satisfy cravings (far away from home) for Tom Yum eventhough the taste has been altered to suit the Brazilians. Has a cozy and romantic atmosphere when you enter the restaurant. They have quite a number of items in the menu. It's easier to go there by uber if you don't own a car. Obviously will be visiting often to have our Tom Yum here
