Critical review excerpts
“Though for starters, I didn’t like the spring rolls much but the rest were acceptable.”June 2025
Reserve weekends. Book ahead for weekend visits: one reviewer said the restaurant is busy enough that a reservation is needed.
Choose spice. Ask about the 1–4 spice scale or request a milder level if you are new to Thai food.
Try outdoors. Choose outdoor seating in winter for the creek and waterfront views; the terrace is repeatedly praised.
Allow extra time. Avoid peak periods or build in waiting time, as reviews describe slower service when the restaurant is full.
Use valet. If you are driving, reviewers report that free valet parking is available at the hotel.
Share carefully. For group dining, check portion sizes before ordering to share; one reviewer felt portions were only enough for two.
Plan the visit
Brunch service can be very slow, so it may test your patience when the restaurant is busy.
One busy Sunday visit involved dishes arriving in random order, missing ingredients and plates not being cleared.
Some dishes may be too hot for diners unaccustomed to spicy food, particularly when ordering Thai-style heat.
One reviewer found portions small for the price, especially when planning to share.
Reaching the restaurant involves a walk through the hotel and a few flights of stairs below the main level.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
non alcoholic lunch
“I think it was around 250 Aed for the non alcoholic lunch (320 for the alcoholic one)”Google review · July 2025
The Bottom Line
The Thai Kitchen is a Park Hyatt Dubai restaurant in Port Saeed built around Thai cooking and an open-kitchen atmosphere. You can watch dishes being prepared, order a full meal or brunch, and settle into indoor or creek-facing outdoor seating. It works especially well for a birthday, dinner with friends or a relaxed winter brunch.
Reviews repeatedly point to authentic, punchy flavours. Tom Yum Goong, green chicken curry, pad ka prao beef and sea bass all receive strong mentions, while Mango Sticky Rice is a standout dessert. The homemade coconut ice cream, served with taro, sweet potato and water chestnut, was another memorable finish.
A separate vegetarian brunch menu is available, and spice can be adjusted. Service is usually described as warm, attentive and accommodating, but the experience is not perfectly even. Weekend and brunch reviews mention very slow service, and one busy Sunday had dishes arriving in random order with missing ingredients.
Book ahead for weekends and allow extra time at peak periods. The setting is a major draw, particularly the outdoor creek view and hotel surroundings. Getting there involves a walk and stairs below the main level, though free valet parking was reported.
One lunch review quoted around 250 Aed for the non-alcoholic set menu and 320 for the alcoholic version, so confirm current pricing before booking.
