Hidden gems of thai food found in setia alam. The thick gravy of tomyum with cream. Surprisingly the chicken so tender and smooth. Mommy approved Pad thai is slightly soggy and sweet but very flavorful too so does the som tam. Food is good , environment is ok but so surprise there is no crowd during the lunch hour . Yet the food take quite some times to be served . might be challenging if its for lunch hour in working day. The no-no thing is why didn’t provide water when you served spicy food instead of selling mineral water

Great food choices.... Luv the authentic Thai taste.. . Must try... Highly recommended.
Came here with a friend on a random dinner outing and honestly… we didn’t expect it to be this good. The restaurant is tucked away in D’Network but once you step in, the vibe is super cozy and authentic — like a calm little corner of Bangkok. We ordered a few dishes to share: the pineapple fried rice was fluffy and fragrant, served in an actual pineapple (very Instagram-worthy too haha). The salted egg prawns were crispy and coated in that creamy sauce — not too jelak, just nice. I was really impressed with the crabmeat curry — rich, spicy, and super satisfying. Their soft shell crab was also a hit. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and the sauce that came with it? Chef’s kiss. Drinks wise, the mango smoothie was refreshing and the Thai green milk tea had a good balance — not too sweet. After dinner we noticed there’s a Thai massage place (Siam Wellness) just upstairs — didn’t try it this time but honestly, that combo makes this place such a good weekend spot. Would definitely come back. Real flavours, comfy environment, and it didn’t feel commercialised at all. Hidden gem for sure.
Dropped by Chaba Thai after having a relaxing massage next door, such a hidden gem here! The flavours here are super authentic — it really reminds me of the food I had in Thailand. You can taste how fresh the ingredients are, and the portions are generous for the price. It’s a great spot whether you’re popping in for a quick lunch or bringing the whole family for dinner. I have to recommend the curry crab (so rich and creamy!), the pineapple fried rice (perfectly balanced with sweet and savoury), and the salted egg squid is a must — crispy, flavourful, and totally addictive and is only RM29 for 2-3 pax portion!
