From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

Eating al fresco on Thai Chi’s candlelit terrace alongside bubbling water features is a very soothing experience. But the limited choice of starters and main courses on the menu is slightly disappointing.

There’s nothing worse than a restaurant that tries to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. And that’s the mistake that Thai Chi makes.

It offers both Chinese and Thai cuisine – but doesn’t excel at either. Neither does it offer a wide enough choice of dishes. This is made up for, however, by the great surroundings and friendly service.

On chilly evenings, the very attentive staff are even on hand to offer pashminas to ward off the Dubai winter. Main courses of sweet and sour chicken and Thai red chicken curry come in generous portions and are very tasty, but connoisseurs of Chinese or Thai food probably wouldn’t come here to sample their favorite dishes.

However, those who want to dine out in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff and reasonable prices are well served at Thai Chi.
