A favourite for lunch, good set lunch selections, complete with drink of choice and complimentary desserts (coconut milk with tapioca, sweet potatoes, etc.). Some of the sets come with green curry while others come with tom yam soup. Had basil chicken with rice today, but all of them taste reasonably good, especially the fried rice. Side dishes are of good quality as well.
I had a lovely meal here a few days ago. Friends and I went on a Sunday evening and immediately seated. We ordered a couple dishes of rice (pineapple & spicy), green beans (spicy), pork and fish. The fish was delicious. For dessert, we of course had mango sticky rice and chendol. Both very good. The food did take a bit of time to arrive – but who cares when you’re sitting with good company and taking that time to catch up. For those looking for Thai food, this is a great spot.

Great place for delicious Thai food at Bugis! Top favourite: Fried butter calamari, chicken wings, mango salad and clear their Tom yam soup was amazing!!

Unlike some instant cooked ones or with too thick tapioca coating. Worth the last crunchy bite! Enjoy folks!

Nice authentic Thai food with spicy level cathered to SG taste. It’s not too spicy and easy on the palette. Tom yum seafood comes in a ancient pot which gives a very nostalgic feel.

With so many golden mile Thai restaurants, it was hard to choose one. Did some research and ended up at Beerthai. Food was super quick and extremely flavourful. Tom Yum was super good. Garlic pork was a bit dry but I guess some people like it. Prawn cakes were homemade and full of prawns. The Basil Pork was phenomenal. Will definitely return.

Unable to make reservations but the queue moves fast because the food is served fast too. The stir fried minced meat with eggs is a must try.

Nice ambience for authentic Thai food. Finally able to satisfy my friend’s craving since we can’t travel out now. Price maybe bit high, but definitely worth it.

(Below food for 2pax, too much for us! Haha)
Lots of same same Thai places around Bugis and in Singapore more broadly. This place was a cut above. The kitchen took our request to make things spicy seriously, but in a balanced way.

#10 Thai Tantric Authentic Thai Cuisine
Thai Tantric is a popular hidden gem in Orchard Road, where it’s known for scrumptious, authentic Thai food at reasonable prices. Although we won’t recommend it for a date night due to its small space, Thai Tantric is a no-frills restaurant where you don’t have to break the bank while in the Central Business District Area,
That being said, this restaurant is located at the shady Orchard Towers.
Here are what some Google Reviewers had to say about Thai Tantric Authentic Thai Cuisine:
Authentic Thai cuisine can be found here in a quiet corner of Orchard Tower. Simply delicious and brings back great memories of one’s trip to Thailand. If you are ever in town, this place is highly recommended. Today’s favourite dish is the deep fried chicken wings with honey sauce.
Wow, another hidden gem in Orchard Tower with excellent Thai Food. The food is authentic and you won’t be disappointed. Papaya salad was spicy, flavorful and pack a punch of fish sauce (not for everyone). I highly recommend it for papaya salad lovers out there. Basil ground pork – oyster sauce and soy sauce mixed with ground pork. Not a bad dish if you want protein. Chicken Pad Thai – rice noodles, chicken, bean sprouts, peanuts and scrambled eggs tossed in a delicious pad thai sauce. The noodle is not too dry or too wet just perfect! Price is quite pricey. We spent $30.00 SGD on three dishes. Ouch! It best to come here in a group as portion size is big.

#11 Korat Thai Cafe
Although being located in a questionable area (Orchard Towers), Korat Thai Cafe is one of the best go-to for authentic Thai comfort food. With frequent customers raving about their fluffy fried omelette, you can be assured that their “wok hei” is top-notch and embedded in their fried foods.
As expected, their Chicken Thai Green Curry, Tom Yum Soup, & Basil Chicken are all solid choices that will leave you feeling satisfied and happy.
Here are what some Google Reviewers had to say about Korat Thai Cafe:
Tucked away at a corner on level 3 of Orchard Towers, if you can get past the sleazy areas of the building, the authentic street Thai dishes here will leave you wanting more. The must-eat dish would be the crispy fried omelette in my opinion, due to its perfectly thin and crunchy exterior. Other dishes were competitive too – the green curry fragrant and thick, the pork full of garlic. Pad Thai was a little disappointing though. Do throw health out of the equation as street Thai food in general tends to have a lot of oil.
My go to whenever i need to satisfy a good thai craving fix. Try their seafood tom yum soup and order a serving of fried egg so as to dip it in the soup with. Their beef noodles are pretty good too! Tom Yam Instant noodles as well. I enjoy places with a good Authentic Thai chef and this place has just exactly that!

Great place to eat Thai food if you are a vegetarian or vegan.

The best Thai food I’ve had in Singapore so far, hands down. I’m amazed at the quality and authentic Thai spices of the food + it doesn’t taste too greasy or salty, flavours was just the right balance. My fav dishes have to be the spicy steamed fish with lime & garlic (fresh & flavourful!) and the prawn omelette which was fluffy, lightly sweet & full of ingredients. Lastly the service was great too, waitstaff were attentive and dishes came quick and well presented. Will come back again soon to try the many dishes they have!
Authentic Thai dishes with great service and pricing. Our group came just right before lunch hour and the staff were attentive to get our orders in quick and served them quick too. Everything we ordered were so delicious and we also ordered sticky rice which were kept in small bamboo containers. Definitely recommends this place and my Thai in-laws approved!!
