So consistently tasty!

This is my regular Thai place that I go to with my boyfriend and friends. I have been here dozens of times, mostly for dinner but also a few times for lunch. I have yet to be disappointed with the food or the service. It's not super cheap but not pricey either - a good balance and you get super fresh, good quality food in return.

This is my regular Thai place that I go to with my boyfriend and friends. I have been here dozens of times, mostly for dinner but also a few times for lunch. I have yet to be disappointed with the food or the service. It's not super cheap but not pricey either - a good balance and you get super fresh, good quality food in return. Hence why I go back.
I usually order the rice-paper rolls, the laab, the papaya/grapefruit salad (they are rather interchangeable and I can never remember which I prefer), pork neck (which comes sprinkled with coriander seeds which is wonderful touch) the flat rice noodles, the various curries (although I’m ambivalent about curries in general), and the beef salad.
For most dishes, you can choose which meat you’d prefer – prawn, pork or beef. Bring your own booze or enjoy their sodas.
Finally, if you manage to save room, of course go for the mango sticky rice with the purple and white rice in equal parts. Be sure to specifically ask for the purple rice. At one point they stopped stocking it because people were spooked by the description for some reason!
One of the waitresses is a sister of the chef and she’s just lovely. Like my boyfriend says – she’s the hardest working waitress in Thai-business!

Other Info. : They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait. On this occasion, we went early enough (by around 7 on a Monday) so we didn't have to wait.

    Flavours toned down for local or expat taste

    The cheese spring roll was interesting. Deep friend crispy and very hot and soft inside. Not sure if it's a typical thai food tho. Later can came the pad thai, which was complex. It got a bit too much completing flavours and we were a bit overwhelmed. Didn't like it too much.

    The green veggie curry and red curry with salmon were great. The red curry with salmon was obviously catering for the expat clientele in the hood. Not entirely what I expected but it tasted quite nice. Distinct tastes of herbs and spices were well balanced and salmon was cooked well. The green curry was yummy and we liked the eye plant a lot. However, we think that they were not spicy enough.

    As we finished our food, the place was also quickly getting filled with almost 90 percent expats. I am not surprised after 1 year in biz the place has adjusted its menu and recipes slightly to entertain its major customer base. However I just miss the authentic taste of Thailand it once offered.

    All in all, I'd still recommend this place as the dishes are quite nice for their prices. But if you are looking for super authentic Thai food, you might have to speak to their friendly staff and explain and describe what you want exactly, or go somewhere else.

    Thai on high has become an absolute favourite of ours. The restaurant is nestled along the very popular high street in Sai Ying Pun. Since the outset the food has been of a very high quality and the fact that the restaurant still remains BYO is awesome.
    We have tried almost the entire menu and some of our favourites are the Tom Zaap (a clear Tom Yum soup) The Gai Pad Khing (Ginger chicken), Laab moo (spiced pork salad), and my friend loves the Pad see ew (fat noodles). I am also partial to the Yam neua yang (the beef salad).
    If you love spicy, make sure you ask for your food "thai hot" and it will come out as authentic as you get. But for those who have a less spicy palate they also cater for you...just ask.

    Thai on high don't take bookings so make sure you get there early as they are often busy. However if you didn't get a seat this time they also do takeaways.

    The service is also very good and they entire team is thai; so an authentic experience.

    My favourite thai in HK!

      Some Missteps
      2014-03-30 1551 views
      I have some friends who are fans of Thai on High and we dined with them there recently. It was a Saturday around 6:30, and the place was completely empty, though more customers came in as we were eating. One plus about ToH is that it is BYOB and-- what's more-- there are excellent places to acquire beer in the surrounding area: the SOHO Wine & Spirits, and a new liquor store beneath Island Crest. I forget the new store's name, but they had Dogfish Head (!!!), but unfortunately not the 60 or 90 m

       The rice paper rolls looked a little ragged. They weren't closed on the ends; they were irregularly shaped. I thought they perhaps had too much cabbage, too little herbs, and needed some sriracha. Still, they were OK, it's hard to make bad rice paper rolls. C

       The papaya salad was not bland or soggy, so it beats out the lower end stuff you find around HK. It wasn't spicy, however, and it lacked that special something that makes me want to eat pounds of papaya. B

       I'm the last person who should be asked to review satay. I think it's the worst grilled meat in the world. Give me fajitas or kebabs or bulgogi, I just have never had satay that made me say anything other than "meh." So there you have it, meh: C

       One of my friends is really into this chicken and cashew stir fry. I don't see what's particularly Thai about it, but I will say that it was the best thing we had. The veggies were nicely stir fried, crisp but charred; the chicken was tender and well-flavored. Mostly it was soy sauce, but sometimes simple works. Good: B+
      Vegetarian Massaman Curry

       We got the vegetarian Massaman curry. It had a nice array of vegetables including some I wouldn't have expected like broccoli, long beans, and is that bitter melon (?). Still, I liked it-- I actually think broccoli in a curry is a brilliant idea, due to its propensity to sop up sauce. The curry didn't have that cardamom-y warmness I associate with Massaman curry, but it was still reasonably good. B
      Stir Fried Flat Rice Noodles w/ Shrimp

       This is the dish that I really wanted to order, but I was rather disappointed. In general I'm a fan of thick, broad, flat rice noodles. With a little bit of sauce in them, and pan fried to get the slightest hint of smokiness in them, they can be one of the most carbohydrate-y satisfying things I know of. These ones were chewy in a bad way. Tough to bite through, I think undercooked. I wouldn't order it again, and that's saying a lot because dishes like this are my Thai restaurant staple. Poor: D

      ToH has promise, in my mind. My friends' favorite dishes (the chicken and cashews, and the curry) were good. The ingredients were all top notch, there were just a few missteps, like poorly rolled rice paper rolls and poorly cooked rice noodles. It's a relatively new restaurant and I expect it will improve. I'd certainly rather go here than the Thai restaurant in my building (i.e. in the Queen St. cooked food center). But it won't become a go-to for me. OK: C+.

      住在這區有點日子了....看著它由一條只有車房, 補習社及數間街坊食店的寧靜小街, 逐漸被不同的高檔食店進駐, 這一年多裡, 高街的變化是蠻多的...由以往只是街坊朋友的小街, 變為越來越多慕名來覓食的"外來人的西區食街了....

      看著一間一間的老店關店後..不久..一間新的食肆又開業了, 現在的高街已經有多間不同種類的新食店, 只是週末時間總是坐滿客人的, 我每次經過總覺得可以慢慢有機會才去吃, 不用心急的

      難得今天放假, 可以睡夠才起床, 休閒的吃個late lunch, 原本約好了朋友, 但朋友工作太忙, 就算了, 能夠在weekday的日子一個人靜靜的吃個休閒late lunch, 也是一件幸福事呢 ! 就在高街走了一會, 看到這家門外放著個泰式美女木雕的泰國餐廳, 小小的店把門全開著, 裡面全都是以木為裝飾的格局, 感覺明亮潔麗, 尤其在現在還是稍涼的天氣, 是很舒服的, 見到裡面只有1枱客人, 就走進店座下....

      泰國老闆娘熱情的招待我, 用英語跟我說說set lunch是到3點的, 還有2個選擇, 我選了豬肉沙爹及碎牛肉配香草, 跟白飯, 原本的lunch set是跟泰式honey lemon tea的, 但我有點懷念泰式的奶茶, 問她是否可以轉, 就說要加錢就可以, 也不吝惜那十多元, 就轉了要泰式奶茶, 老闆娘還貼心的問我要多甜 (因一般的泰式奶茶比香港的奶茶要甜得多), 我就要了少甜....

      沒多久, 泰式奶茶是先上來的, 但顏色是橙色的, 跟我以往在別的泰國餐廳喝的有點不像呢, 味道還是太甜..有點意外..不過可能每間店的做法是不一樣吧...

      原以為沙爹是前菜, 會先來, 但原來它們跟主菜是放在一個大碟上的, 豬肉沙爹醃的很好味, 醬汁是微辣的還有點花生的味道, 用生菜包著來吃很好味, 主菜的碎牛肉炒basil葉, 其實還配有很多的青豆, 乾洋蔥, 少少的紅及綠色辣椒, 還有很多size很小的小蒜頭, 炒得很有鑊氣, 很泰式菜的做法 味道是帶點辣的, 熱騰騰的配白飯很出色!

      在吃的時間聽到老闆娘跟廚房裡的師傅以泰文溝通, 就知道這裡由內到外的都全是地到泰國人..期待下次多些人來可以試吓他們其他的地道菜 ^^
