I visited this restaurant after getting my nails done, which is a monthly tradition for me. It's an area I don't usually go to, right near Susukino. This time, I decided to try something ethnic. The building used to be a place for drinking, but there are also restaurants open for lunch, like this one. Going down to the basement, you'll see the Thai restaurant with a unique exterior. Inside, there are a lot of raised seating areas, which is rare for a Thai restaurant. The lunch menu is not available, so I had to choose from the regular menu. I was surprised to see that rice was not included with the curry dishes and had to be ordered separately. I decided to go with the Gapao rice since I hadn't eaten much the night before. The portion of meat in the Gapao was a bit small, but the flavor was authentic. The restaurant seemed popular, and I noticed many people ordering various dishes from the menu. Overall, the food was delicious, and the friendly smiles of the staff added to the experience.

I had Thai cuisine for lunch again on this day. The restaurant is located in the basement of a building facing Tanuki Koji. When I arrived around 12:00 on Tuesday, there were already 5 groups and 7 people inside. I sat at the counter and ordered the Gapao Rice (1,050 yen). The person next to me was chatting with a lady who seemed like the owner in Thai? It really felt like I was in Thailand (even though I've never been there). There were 2 men in the kitchen and 1 woman in the hall. The Gapao Rice arrived in about 5-6 minutes. It was a stir-fry of pork, bell peppers, chili, and basil served with jasmine rice and a fried egg. The fried egg always comes with it, which is nice. It wasn't too spicy when I tried it. The basil flavor was strong and delicious. It wasn't too salty either. Later, a salad and soup were served. For some reason, half a shrimp spring roll was on the salad. And the dressing was sweet. It was quite interesting. The soup was a regular vegetable soup without spiciness or spices. This part was a bit disappointing. The portion of the Gapao Rice was small, and I finished it quickly. I regret not getting the large size. Thank you for the meal.

【Taste】Authentic Thai cuisine. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. I used to dislike cilantro, but I started to like it because it goes well with the dishes. Thai cuisine that even Japanese people can easily challenge. 【Atmosphere】Located in a dimly lit basement, but the interior makes you feel like you're on a trip to Thailand.

Staying overnight in Sapporo for work. I decided to walk down Tanuki Koji looking for something I can't eat in Asahikawa. Eventually, I settled on trying Thai cuisine, which I haven't had in a while. Inside a building... it was lunchtime. As I walked down Tanuki Koji, I saw many different restaurants. I wondered what to eat... and then a small sign in front of a certain building caught my eye. I decided to give it a try. The entrance was a bit intimidating, but I went in and proceeded to the basement of the building. I hesitated a bit. On the basement floor, there were several eateries, but only this one was open. However, the entrance was a bit scary. Nevertheless, it had a Thai vibe. Inside, there were quite a few customers. Oh well, I thought, and entered the restaurant. The menu had a variety of Thai dishes, which I hadn't eaten in years. When I lived in Noodle Road, I stayed for a total of 3 months, and the menu brought back nostalgic memories. At that time, I could only eat noodle dishes... I remembered Pad Thai, a Thai stir-fried noodle dish that I used to buy from street vendors. I pondered... If I order a lot, I can share with a large group, but even if I order a few dishes, I won't be able to finish them all. I didn't want to leave any leftovers, and the prices per dish were quite reasonable. If it were in Thailand, I could have ordered a variety of dishes and it would have cost around 500 yen, but here, I had to choose carefully. I decided to have a Thai beer. Chang, a Thai beer with an elephant as its trademark, was the beer I had in Thailand. It had a light taste, lighter than Japanese beer. Even I could easily drink this beer. I ordered the Peek Gai Yat Sai for 800 yen, a dish I had never tried in Thailand. It was chicken wings stuffed with ingredients. It tasted like Thai fried chicken. It came with chili sauce. It had something in it. It was stuffed, so of course, there was something inside. But I couldn't tell what it was. It seemed to contain minced pork, glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and more. I tried the chili sauce with it. The outside was crispy and paired well with the sweet and spicy sauce. The next dish was Pad Samunprai for 950 yen and sticky rice for 500 yen. Pad Samunprai was a spicy stir-fry with meat and herbs. It had a moderate spiciness and herb flavor. That's the kind of taste you'd expect from Thai cuisine! The spiciness lingered on the palate. The sticky rice was glutinous rice. I had this kind of rice when I went on a trip to Thailand a few years ago. It was wrapped in plastic wrap and you eat it as it is. Ah, it's nostalgic! Finally, I tried Pad Si Ew for 980 yen. I really wanted to try Pad Thai (Thai stir-fried noodles), which I love. However, I opted for Pad Si Ew, which was written next to it. It's made with the same rice noodles but has a black soy sauce flavor. This was a first for me. It was a delicious stir-fry with rice noodles. Whether it's Pad Thai or Pad Si Ew, it was delicious. It was a bit oily though. Thai cuisine uses quite a bit of oil. I wish Asahikawa soy sauce yakisoba would become more popular because I like it. Oh well, it's been a while since I had Thai food. Ah, I want to go to Thailand again and enjoy their cuisine. Thank you for the meal. ⇒ Thai cuisine preferences are clearly divided, aren't they?

Khao Man Gai. Tanukikoji. When you enter, there are many madams. It's a Thai restaurant on a Saturday, I wonder why. Khao Man Gai. It's not a weekday lunch, so it's a bit expensive. The sauce is spicy, which I like. Is the sauce the key to Khao Man Gai? Thank you for the meal. It's a bit lonely without salad or soup included.

On this day, I wandered around, drinking and eating at various places. While walking around, I finally decided to try this Thai restaurant that I had been curious about. I ordered Pad Thai and Poo Phong Curry with a Singha beer in hand. Pad Thai is like stir-fried noodles with a sweet peanut butter flavor, combined with the savory taste of shrimp. At first, I was a bit unsure about the taste, but it was strangely delicious and I couldn't stop eating. Poo Phong Curry is different from the usual curry I love, but it has a unique richness and the deliciousness of crab that I enjoyed. Although I was hesitant at first, the spices kept me coming back for more. There are still many classic Thai dishes I want to try, like Gai Pad Krapow and fresh spring rolls. I look forward to going back again!

I came across this restaurant while walking down Tanukikoji looking for something delicious as I headed towards Odori. It was just before the end of lunchtime, but I made it in time. The food is made by authentic Thai chefs, so my expectations were high. I ordered the set meal with Gapao Rice. Even the salad dressing in the set was spicy, which was a surprise. The Gapao Rice was delicious, and I was curious about the other dishes on the menu. I'm not a fan of very spicy food, but this restaurant seemed like a great place to enjoy with a beer. Thank you for the meal.

In August, I decided to try some Thai cuisine in Sapporo and found a place called Manee Thai. The restaurant is located in the middle of Tanuki Koji, in the basement of a building. The interior has raised seating and counter seats, with Asian staff running the place. I tried the Thai fresh spring rolls for 880 yen, which were a classic and tasty dish. I also ordered the Kuotio Nam, Thai rice noodle soup, for 980 yen. The dish had a nice appearance, with white flat noodles that were chewy and had a good texture. The soup had a rich Thai flavor with dried shrimp and minced meat as accents. I also tried the green curry for 980 yen, which had a good balance of saltiness and was delicious. Overall, the dishes were solid and tasty, although not particularly outstanding. While I still prefer Siam as my favorite Thai restaurant in Sapporo, Manee Thai offers a reliable dining experience.

There are times when I suddenly crave for Khao Man Gai. Since the restaurant I wanted to go to was closed, I decided to visit this place that I had been curious about! I always order the stir-fried water spinach, which is really delicious! It goes well with just rice too - the crunchiness, stir-fry level, and seasoning are all perfect! As for the Khao Man Gai, the meat is thinly sliced which makes it easy to eat. But I prefer thicker slices. The Thai jasmine rice is a nice touch with its subtle flavor. The sauce has a miso-like flavor that matches well. However, I haven't found the ultimate Khao Man Gai that makes me go "wow" yet! I love cilantro so I got an extra serving and added it generously to both the soup and the Khao Man Gai. Cilantro makes me happy! The building has a slight smell which is a bit of a concern... Overall, thank you for the meal! ★

I felt like eating something Asian, so I decided to go there. It was lunchtime, but there were only a few customers. The atmosphere was dark with dim lighting, almost like nighttime. The food was delicious, but they didn't serve water, so I had to order a drink. They didn't have lunch sets, so we ordered two rice dishes, a stir-fry, and spring rolls to share. It was quite tasty, but a bit pricey. I would like to go back again, but it didn't leave a strong impression. Overall, it was just delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant because I was craving something spicy. In the summer, I always feel like eating Tom Yum Goong, Red Curry, Stir-fried Chicken, and Fresh Spring Rolls. I have visited this place several times, so now I always ask for extra spicy. I think my taste buds have become numb, haha. Even though I can't stop sweating while eating, I feel refreshed after finishing the meal. Maybe I'm hooked on this effect.

Located on the basement floor of the Sanjo Miyamatsu Building across from Norbesa, this Thai restaurant offers the Geang Par (spicy Mori no Sachi curry) for 980 yen with jasmine rice. It is extremely spicy and goes great with beer. The Stir-Fried Water Spinach is 1000 yen, while the Garlic-Topped Fried Shrimp is 1500 yen. The Thai-style Deep-Fried White Fish costs 880 yen and is especially delicious when eaten with garlic chips on top.

I've been wanting to go but hesitated because I didn't know what it was like underground. My daughter also wanted to go, so we finally went. It's at the back, so I was worried I got lost, but we made it! Even though it just opened, the delicious smell was already filling the air. We ordered lunch - my daughter got the Khao Man Gai and I got the Green Curry. They came with a huge portion of jasmine rice, salad, and spring rolls. It was so good! I regret not going sooner. The food was authentic and spicy, and the portion was generous. I highly recommend this place. It's dark and cozy, perfect for dining alone. I'll definitely come back.

On Sunday evening around 6 o'clock, I went to Manny Thai, also known as Taikomachi, on Tanukikoji street. I drove there. There are plenty of coin parking lots nearby, although they are paid. I called ahead just in case. The restaurant was almost full, but there was no wait. It might be better to make a reservation on weekends just to be safe. I had Oolong tea and coconut for drinks. The coconut had chunks of fruit in it, a taste I've never had in Japan before! It's strange but addicting! The food took a while to come out because it was busy. We ordered Tom Yum Kung, Gai Yang, fresh spring rolls, Pad Thai, and Pappemara. It was just enough for two adults, and the total was 6000 yen, which is quite reasonable for downtown. The Tom Yum Kung was refreshing with a nice sour taste! It came out hot in a pot. Gai Yang was grilled chicken with a Southeast Asian aroma. What kind of spice gives it that unique scent? It's authentic and delicious. The fresh spring rolls had bamboo shoots, which was unexpected. They were chewy and consistently delicious. The Pad Thai was the best. It was chewy, slightly salty, and wonderfully delicious. It disappeared in seconds. The Pappemara was a stir-fry of bitter melon and shrimp in red curry. It was quite spicy!! The bitter melon was crunchy, the shrimp was plump, and the curry was crispy, making it impossible to stop eating. It was really delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Since I can't travel abroad, I decided to satisfy my wanderlust with food. I chose this restaurant because all the food photos looked delicious. It was popular and almost full when I arrived. I ordered the basil fried rice, pad thai, and stir-fried water spinach. Everything was delicious. The staff spoke a foreign language, which added to the travel experience. I would love to try different dishes next time, so it would be great if they offered smaller sizes for stir-fries and salads, making it easier for smaller groups to enjoy a variety of dishes.

I decided to visit "Manitai" for a meal. After eating so much, honestly, I get tired of sweet things, haha. Normally, I could go from having onigiri in the morning to ramen for lunch and be satisfied until dinner, but what am I doing now! I'll ask for a smaller portion and add a meal menu as usual! (Huh?) I knew about the existence of the store and had bookmarked it, but I didn't know the exact location, it's in the Tanuki-Koji shopping street. There were 2 groups of customers already there, and since I arrived close to the last order time, there were no other customers. There was a fish tank at the entrance of the store, with goldfish swimming around! I was curious about dish number 58, "Kuotio Heen (¥1080)", so I ordered it. I asked for a reduced portion, about two-thirds of the regular size. On the internet, many sites write it as "Kuitio Heen", so the official dish name is probably "Kuitio". Some sites also write it as "Kuitio". I don't mind which one is correct as long as they understand what I want. But you shouldn't have that kind of attitude, haha! Since it was a counter-style service, the dishes were served quickly. This dish was described as "Thai rice noodle stir-fried without soup", which is basically a "mixed noodles" in general terms. The ingredients included noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, ground meat, coriander, leeks, etc. The noodles were chewy, and the coriander, sauce, and spices blended together to create a flavor with a mix of sourness and spiciness. The large, juicy shrimp and plenty of small shrimps reminded me of shrimp ramen. The crunchy texture of the bean sprouts was also a nice touch. I'm not familiar with Thai cuisine, but this dish was delicious! Unlike ramen, the mixed noodles didn't have soup, so I was able to finish it quickly even though I thought I would take my time. The prices are generally on the higher side, but I would like to try other dishes that caught my interest if I feel like it. Thank you for the meal.

Manee Thai @ Sapporo City - A truly authentic Thai restaurant run by Thai people. This is a post from a visit a while back. On the last night in Sapporo, I had a meeting with Mr. Yamauchi, who had introduced me to various consulting clients. The restaurant is located in a building that can be accessed from Tanukikoji or Minami 3-jo Street. Today, we entered from Minami 3-jo Street. We descended these stairs and found the restaurant. Mr. Yamauchi seemed to be a long-time regular at this restaurant, where the Thai chef has returned to Thailand and now the Thai wife is cooking. The interior of the restaurant is like this. We started with Singha beer. For food, we ordered Pak Boong Fai Dhin (1,000 yen), which is stir-fried water spinach. It was spicy. I choked a bit. Then we had Po Pia Tod (800 yen), which is deep-fried shrimp spring rolls. Next was Po Pia Sod (800 yen), which is fresh spring rolls. Finally, we had Tom Yum Kung (1,380 yen). It was delicious. Due to the corona situation, there were few people in Susukino today. The sushi restaurant was quite full.

Of course, they are doing Thai cuisine in Japan, so the seasoning must be to the liking of Japanese people. Still, you can feel the spiciness. But behind the spiciness is a delicious taste. That's because it's authentic Thai cuisine made by Thai people! I went for the classic dish, Kaogapao!! They seemed to be struggling to keep up with the large number of food delivery orders. They must be earning a living here in these times. On top of that, the restaurant was full. It was incredibly busy during lunchtime. They seemed a bit overwhelmed and couldn't focus on customer service. But the taste was outstanding as always. I actually went here to practice speaking Thai. However, it was so busy that I couldn't speak much. I only managed to say "Kor sung ah han noi dai mai krab" (Can I order?). I wonder if I'll be able to speak Thai in a more relaxed time...

"I'm Manny Tai from Sapporo, here to help. I like to quickly eat and then head back to the hotel at night. I don't get involved in choosing the restaurant, I leave that up to the other person who knows about it. We ended up at 'Manny Tai' where I ordered Yum Ma Ku A (eggplant salad) for 880 yen, Khao Man Gai (chicken rice) for 1500 yen, and Tom Yum Kung for 1300 yen. I had a beer and ginger ale to start. The Yum Ma Ku A was spicy with a sweet and sour dressing that went well with the sautéed eggplant and boiled shrimp. Delicious! The Khao Man Gai was very tender chicken with the flavor soaked into the rice. The accompanying sauce was probably made with fish sauce and soy sauce. It was an ethnic dish and tasted amazing. The Tom Yum Kung was more sour and spicy than I expected, but it was delicious. It made my mouth numb so I couldn't finish it. Overall, the prices were a bit high but the Thai food was delicious."
