스토리

이 장소에 대해

Cái Cối는 호치민시 대부분의 태국 음식점들이 현지인 입맛에 맞춰 매운맛을 조절하는 흐름 속에서도, 북부 태국 요리를 고집하는 곳이다. Chiang Mai 출신 셰프가 이끄는 주방은 강렬한 매운맛, 묵직한 딥핑 소스, 태국 현지인들도 진정성 있다고 인정하는 요리 — 북부 특유의 대담한 풍미를 그대로 살린다. 이 차별점이 Cái Cối를 Thảo Điền의 다른 태국 음식점들과 구분 짓는다. 대부분의 다른 곳들은 맛을 무난하게 다듬는 쪽을 택하기 때문이다.

Nguyễn Cừ에 자리한 식당은 아담하고 꾸밈없이 소박하다 — 가족 운영 공간답게 편안한 구조이며, 이 동네에서 흔히 가격을 끌어올리는 과한 인테리어와는 거리가 멀다. 스페인-베트남 커플이 운영하는 이곳은 홀 분위기부터 따뜻하고 사적인 느낌이 배어 있다. 서비스는 빠르고, 주인의 환대는 리뷰마다 빠짐없이 언급되며, 점심·저녁으로 나뉜 운영 덕분에 주방의 집중도도 유지된다. 재방문 주문이 가장 많은 메뉴는 단연 톰얌과 딥핑 소스 모음이다.

태국식 퓨전 pasta는 어느새 이 집의 시그니처로 자리 잡았다 — 북부 태국 전문점이라는 정체성과는 다소 어울리지 않는 메뉴지만, 추천 빈도만큼은 단연 상위권이다. 특정 요일에는 비건 데이를 운영하기도 하는데, 덕분에 태국 음식 마니아층 너머 더 다양한 단골들이 찾아온다.

이 규모와 가격대의 식당에서, 153개 구글 리뷰 기준 4.9라는 평점은 보기 드문 일관성이다. 가장 자주 등장하는 평가 키워드는 주문 즉시 조리하는 신선한 재료, 가격 대비 넉넉한 양, 그리고 타협 없이 강렬한 맛이다. Cái Cối를 찾는 손님층은 다양하다 — 정통 맛을 찾는 외국인 거주자들, 주방의 진정성을 인정하는 태국 출신 방문객들, 그리고 이 동네의 대형 식당들이 흉내 낼 수 없는 개인적인 분위기에 정이 든 Thảo Điền 단골들까지.

I went here with my friend for dinner, it wasn't busy but it was on vegan day as I heard so maybe that's why. This is one of the restaurants that I want to come back again. All the food we tried was delicious, especially Thai Fusion pasta is my favorite. And they served food quite fast!! The owner is a Spanish guy, very welcoming and friendly. Definetely recommend!

This restaurant has become my No.1 Thai restaurant in town currently. Specialized in Northern Thai style cuisine, they kept the flavour true to Thai’s taste, not playing it safe like some other ones that make it less spicy. Their dipping sauces are great, too. Highly recommend for those who love the explosive flavour of Northern Thai food when in Sai Gon
