“ Got the Tom Yum soup and it was the best version of the soup I've ever had. It's one of my favorite Thai dishes, so it's one of my regular dishes at Thai restaurants, and this one knocked it completely out of the park. The place is small and quaint, and the prices are absolutely reasonable. This here is the gem of Daegu. ”
“ We really liked Thai Panang Chicken curry, and the Pad see ew noodles. It was so tasty! ”
“ Best restaurant. It's really authentic thai and always nice to their guests. They also speak english very well which is nice as a foreigner like me (= ”
“ Love Hi Thai! The food is super delicious and the staff is very kind. The restaurant is fairly small so I would recommend going before the lunch and dinner rush, otherwise you may need to wait for awhile. ”
“ Best Thai food I have ever had outside of Thailand. Their green curry with chicken was what I imagine the air in heaven tastes like. It is a small intimate restaurant with limited seating. So get there early or be prepared to wait. Either way it is worth it. ”
“ Food is so good. It also has vegan options. You can't easily find vegan food in Daegu. ”
“ The place is a hidden gem of Thai cousine in Daegu. The food has just the right amount of flavor and the right level of spice. The curry, sour soup, and pad thai were delicious. The portion is for 1 person, but if you are here with 2 or more then there are small bowls to share. That is another thing; seating area. It is a small restaurant with 5 tables, 2-4 person per tables. Expect the wait to be seated at around 10-15 min dyring morning/lunch time. BUT they cook fast because the server takes your order while you wait for a table and by the time you sit, the food arrives hot in 5 minutes. The staffs are very friendly and it is perfect for foreigners because they speak english and menu has english also. I would definitely come again! ”
