Baan Landai Fine Thai Cuisine

Of the 10-12 Thai places we ate at during our 1 week trip, many Bib Gourmand, this had the best Thai food. Service was excellent too. Pink milk with coconut - 4 stars Sweet and milky - what we needed to temper the spicy dishes. Tom yum mocktail - 4.5 stars Bit strong but delicious idea with the lime leaves and chili powder. Crab curry with noodles - 5 stars Thai spicy indeed but so delicious I couldn't help eating more. Tom yum soup with snapper fish - 5 stars Perfect balance of savoury, sour, spicy and sweet. The fish was tender and tasted fresh. Pork ribs in red wine - 4.75 stars Fell off the bone. Good flavour. Mango sticky rice - 4.5 stars Of the 4-5 mango sticky rice dishes we had in the course of our trip this sticky rice was outstanding. The mango was on the slightly sour side and the sherbet too sweet for me.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, it’s clear that local ingredients and recipes are prioritized and quality is top notch. That being said we did have high expectations due to the Michelin recognition- of course we had the pork ribs which we both found to be extremely tender and with a flavorful wine sauce. The savoury leaf wraps were definitely a standout for me- extremely flavorful and sweet morsels which was a great way to start the meal. However, the fermented fish was a bit too salty for my taste. For desert, the pandan was our favorite. In all, plates were presented with great care and the menu was beautifully organized. Service provided was excellent, organized, and sincere. Reservations in advance are a must.

I don't even know how to begin this review. We had one of our best meals in Chiang Mai right here. Such reasonable price points for high quality food. Mango sticky rice was okay - we had better mangoes at the street stalls cus the mangoes were way sweeter! But the glutinous rice was great :) Loved the red wine pork ribs and the grilled prawns. The fish was also fried so crispy. I dream of having this meal again!!
