Oh Talay

Surprisingly the Seafood in Chiang Mai or this restaurant Oh Talay is very fresh and reasonable price. I didn’t take the offer package from them but took some dishes I like from the menu. Crab meat glass noodle, garlic fried scallops, stuffed crabs, Salmon fillet cooked with sours sauce and vegetables. Tasty, delicious and It just cost me 1,500 tb. This restaurant worth to try it and I definitely will visit them again.

Looked promising but I was disappointed. First of all, many dishes get sold out by the dinner time so I suggest to come earlier. The crab curry had good flavors but the crab was uneventful, small and the meat inside was dry (old crab?). I also felt very heavy after eating it, not sure which oils they use and how much. Morning glory was just fine. But the giant shrimps glazed in sweet sauce were so rough (again, either very overcooked or not fresh) that I could barely eat them. I came back just to try their glass noodle casserole with crab meat, to see if they can redeem themselves, and it was thankfully good but it’s not exactly a hard dish to make. Overall, somewhere between 3 and 4 for me, pending other items like snapper which I didn’t have time to try.

It's hard to say that this is a delicious restaurant. In fact, this restaurant is a disaster... 1. The dishes are expensive, more than 1,200 baht for three dishes..you can see my picture. 2. The dishes are unpalatable, black pepper crabs, too much oil, too much black pepper , there is simply no freshness of the meat, and all you can eat is the fried taste.
