The name says it all: chili heat and Thai cooking. Chilli Thai is a dining hall in the classic style — strings of red paper lanterns, warm brick and wood, plain wooden tables — Thai food in a room that feels like a Bangkok side street.
The Tom Yum hotpot arrives in its brass pot still bubbling — sour lemongrass-chili broth with prawns, squid and fish cake. Alongside: crispy pla krapong tod with green mango salad, crackling fried pork with sweet-sour chili fish-sauce dip, and prawn Pad Thai tossed hot in the wok.
Open daily from 10AM to 10PM — a quick lunch or a long dinner, there's a table. Peak hours get busy; call ahead to reserve.
