Shànghǎi Restaurants

  1. Lan Na Thai

    Upstairs from Face, the sensuous woodcarvings, cobalt-blue walls and small terrace make this one of the most stylish restaurants in town. It's a favourite for high-flyers who can afford the great Thai salads (try the lemongrass shrimp salad), green curries and subtle desserts, such as crunchy water chestnut in dough in chilled coconut milk with jackfruit. Eat here in mid-April for a special Song Kran festival menu. Reserve.

  2. Simply Thai

    Justifiably popular and ever-expanding chain of Thai restaurants serving reasonably priced classic dishes such as green and red curries and Tom Yum Soup and quirky ones like the Thai-style straw mushroom salad with mango. This branch has a nice tree-shaded patio, perfect for alfresco dining in the warmer months. They deliver, too.

  3. Thai Thai

    For a cheap meal in the Superbrand Mall, Thai Thai is a step above the rest of the fast-food court restaurants. Dishes such as tom kah gai (coconut, lemongrass and chicken soup) and green curry may be small but are served with rice and carry enough chilli and lemongrass to bring back memories of sweaty meals in Thailand.
