" Chaba Thai Kitchen is a gem! The moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the fragrance of authentic Thai spices wafting through the air. I had the crispy pork belly with Thai broccoli, and it was one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. You can tell that the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and the complimentary coconut dessert they provided was a delightful surprise! I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Chaba Thai Kitchen left me with mixed feelings. The decor is simple and unpretentious, which I appreciated, but the service was a bit slow during my visit. I ordered the Tom Yum soup which had a rich flavor, but my friends found their dishes underwhelming. However, the free dessert was delightful, which got us all a little excited at the end. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chaba for the first time last week based on rave reviews. I have to say, it lived up to the hype! The Pad See Ew was unlike anything I’ve tried before, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. However, my only downside was the wait time, which was longer than I expected. Nevertheless, the friendly staff, who were constantly checking in, made the experience pleasant. I also appreciated the generous portion sizes. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is great for casual dining. I ordered the spicy basil beef, which was cooked perfectly, and my friend had the green curry, which she loved! The service was friendly and quick, making our lunch break enjoyable. The overall vibe is laid-back, so it's a great place for a relaxed meal. Plus, we got a delicious free dessert at the end! Overall, a great spot to come back to for more Thai goodness! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Chaba on a friend's recommendation and was quite pleased! I had the Khao Soi—probably one of the best I’ve had outside of Thailand! The flavors were vibrant and authentic. The service was prompt and friendly, making our meal quite enjoyable. The atmosphere is cozy and ideal for both solo and group dining. The only downside was that the menu could use some more vegetarian options. Overall, a spot worth visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a great experience at Chaba! The food was fresh and authentic, reminding me of the street food stalls in Thailand. I ordered the pad thai and while it was delightful, I found it slightly sweeter than usual. The atmosphere is laid-back, which I appreciated. The service was attentive, and I loved the complimentary dessert at the end. I will definitely return to explore more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become one of my favorite spots. I always leave satisfied after enjoying their delicious dishes. I've tried most of their menu, but the yellow curry and pad thai are my top recommendations. The dining space is comfortable, and the bathroom is clean—always a plus! My only wish is for longer hours as sometimes I want to enjoy their food later in the evening. However, I always leave feeling pleased with the service and food! " (*Curated Review*)
