Avoid Thai heat. Treat the Thai setting as an expert-level choice rather than a normal spicy option.
Plan parking. Allow extra time for parking; street spaces may be hard to find and the building’s rear or paid underground spaces may be more practical.
Try family style. Choose family-style dining if you want to sample several dishes rather than commit to one main.
Collect quickly. For takeaway, WhatsApp collection has been reported as ready within 10–15 minutes for the stir-fried chicken cashew nuts dish.
Ask substitutions. The kitchen has accommodated ingredient changes; one order replaced squid with shrimp, so ask when ordering if needed.

The Thai spice setting is extremely hot; one reviewer says it is intended for professionals rather than cautious diners.
One diner found the green curry watery and said the large eggplant pieces were undercooked.
Street parking can be difficult to find, and one reviewer had to drive around the back of the building to locate parking.
One review reported clustered cutlery, dirty plates and rubbish left uncleared during the visit.
The dining room may feel warm to guests used to colder countries, so lighter clothing could be more comfortable.
The Bottom Line
Thai Taste Restaurant in Al Barsha South is a casual Thai spot known for food that reviewers find close to the flavours of Thailand. You can come for a generously filled seafood Tom Yum, Pad Thai with shrimp, Panang chicken curry or Mango Sticky Rice; the menu also gives spice guidance rather than leaving heat to guesswork. The Tom Yum is the clearest standout.
Customers describe it as balanced, authentic and loaded with shrimp, while the Mango Sticky Rice is repeatedly called a favourite. Other well-regarded choices include papaya salad, green curry, morning glory and the BBQ shrimp platter. Portions are generally described as fair, and several diners consider the pricing good value, though no specific menu prices were provided.
The room is usually described as clean, bright and relaxing, with friendly service and food arriving quickly. For first-timers, Medium is a sensible starting point; the Thai level is described as professional-grade heat. Parking deserves planning: street spaces can be difficult, and one reviewer had to loop around the building to find parking.
There is also an isolated report of uncleared dirty plates and clustered cutlery, so service may not be flawless every visit.
