When it comes to Thai cuisine in Kyoto, this is the place to go! I visit here twice a month. My recommendation is the Green Curry with Pork, but today I ordered the Dry Curry with minced chicken. I also ordered the Green Curry with Pork for takeout to deliver to a friend's house. This restaurant serves dishes quickly, which is nice, but it's not a place to relax as there is a note saying to leave within an hour regardless of seat availability. Unfortunately, they don't offer their delicious Coconut Pudding for takeout. When I go with a friend, we usually order the Yam Wun Sen (glass noodle salad), Tom Yum Kung, Green Curry, 2 servings of fried chicken, and 2 servings of Coconut Pudding. It's a recommended choice for two people!

I ordered green curry. I was worried because I don't like coconut, but when I took a bite... it was easy to eat! Delicious!! What is this!! I'm glad I asked. It was my first time eating Thai curry, but I'm hooked. I also had Thai beer for the first time, and it was easy to drink and delicious.

Visited before 12:00 on May 21, 2023. Although the atmosphere outside the restaurant was crowded, I was able to enter without waiting and ordered Green Curry with 200g of rice. It arrived in just a few minutes! The curry was not as spicy as I expected, it had a mild flavor. I drizzled a little fish sauce on the rice, which was delicious! The fish sauce here seems to have chili peppers in it, which goes well with the rice! Overall, the taste was light and suited for Japanese people. By the time I left, there was a line forming outside...

Certified by the Thai Ministry of Commerce, Slam is a popular Thai restaurant located in Kyoto's Marutamachi. I visited during the weekday lunchtime lull of Golden Week. I arrived just before the opening time of 11:30, and was the first customer. However, as soon as the restaurant opened, it quickly filled up. I ordered the following dishes: - Chicken Red Curry (with 300g of rice) for 1200 yen - Add fried egg for an extra 100 yen - Chicken Green Curry (with 200g of rice) for 1100 yen - Extra coriander for an extra 80 yen - Minced meat Dry Curry (with 200g of rice) for 1100 yen The Chili Red Curry had a perfect balance of spiciness and the delicious taste of coconut milk. It was the most delicious curry I've ever had. I added some Thai chili peppers from the table to increase the spiciness. The Green Curry was also quite spicy due to the green chili peppers and coconut milk. The minced meat Dry Curry was also very tasty when I had it at home. It was also quite spicy.

I went to the Curry Festival in Marucho to try a limited-time curry. Even though I had already eaten a half-size curry at another shop, I couldn't stop eating because it was so delicious. They have a note in the shop asking to remove the coriander when ordering, so be careful if you don't like coriander. It was a red curry, so I plan to go back to try the green curry next time.

Green curry (curry made with green chili and coconut milk) with domestic chicken cutlet on 200g of rice for 1500 yen, topped with a fried egg for 100 yen. The curry is spicy but mild due to the coconut milk. I understand why it is certified by the Thai government.

Kuma Log 3.8 ☃️ Today, I started my day in Shin-Osaka, but on my way back to Kyoto, I decided to join a curry festival. It was already past lunchtime, so I wasn't sure if I could easily get a seat at "Thai Curry Restaurant Sham". Surprisingly, it was fully booked at first, but after a while, I managed to find a seat. I ordered the limited menu item for the Enmachi Curry Festival, "Duck Panang Curry" in half size. It was a red curry base with a hint of coconut flavor, and it was incredibly delicious. It turns out that this Thai curry is certified by the Thai Ministry of Commerce, so no wonder it tasted so good. I completed my first stamp for the Enmachi Curry Festival. #ThaiCurry #Thailand #ThaiCurrySham #Sham #Curry #CurryRice #RedCurry #Kyoto #KyotoCurry #KyotoGourmet #KyotoLunch #Enmachi #EnmachiCurryFestival2023 #CurryFestival #DuckMeat #PanangCurry #Can'tWaitToGoToThailand #BeenEatingALotOfCurryLately #TomorrowIsTheDecisiveDay #FeelingConfident #FinalAdjustmentsCompleted

I visited after about a year. I've been here over 10 times with friends or alone, but it seems I never wrote a review. This is one of the few recommended Thai curry restaurants in Kyoto! I always order the green curry, and it never disappoints, especially with the extra cilantro.

Order: Islamic curry with seafood 200g (1400 yen). It was a curry with a generous amount of vegetables and seafood mixed in. It had a unique taste that I had never experienced before, and I couldn't understand why.

Today, I visited a Thai curry restaurant near Marutamachi in Kyoto. The restaurant is called "Sham Thai" and has been awarded the "Thai Select" certification from the Thai Ministry of Commerce, so it seems like a place where you can enjoy authentic Thai cuisine. The interior is a bit dimly lit and has a moody atmosphere. When looking at the menu, you first choose the type of curry and then the amount of ingredients and rice. The main curry options are Green Curry, Red Curry, and Muslim Curry, all priced around 1,000 yen. I decided to go with the "most popular" option, the Green Curry. The Green Curry (Chicken) arrived with rice and curry paste served in separate dishes. The menu book explained the "delicious way to eat" by scooping the paste with a spoon and pouring it over the rice to savor the flavors. Alternatively, you can also mix the rice into the paste. I chose 300g of rice. The Green Curry paste was light and had a hint of green chili and coconut milk. Along with chicken, there were plenty of vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and pumpkin. The curry had a nice herbal aroma and a spicy kick from the chili. The portion size and variety of vegetables were impressive, and I was sweating a bit by the end of the meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Thai curry and look forward to trying other options next time!

I came to Marucho after a long time! When you think of Marucho, it's about a 5-minute walk from the Thai curry Sham Station, right? If you leave the station and head east on the main street, you'll see it on your left. I topped the lunch set green curry with dry curry ingredients as usual, and the green curry, with its combination of sweetness and spiciness, was delicious!! The dry curry ingredients were also spicy and delicious, making the rice go down smoothly! This is my favorite curry restaurant!

I ordered green curry for lunch with extra cilantro and extra spicy after seeing reviews. The taste was... delicious! Wow, it's really spicy and I'm happy about it! The fish sauce is also good for changing the flavor. For lunch, you can choose the daily side dish instead of the type of meat. Next time, I want to try chicken and red curry for dinner. I hope they will resume dinner service soon.

I went for lunch. They had a daily special, so I ordered the red curry of the day. The atmosphere of the restaurant was Asian and very relaxing. For lunch, they served salad first. Then came a plate of rice and a bowl of curry. I tried the curry first - it had a Thai curry flavor. I mixed it with the rice and it was delicious with a nice kick of spices. Next to the rice, there were chicken and vegetables. Mixing it all together was tasty. It would have been better if they had offered a 300 gram portion of rice for easier eating.

Recommended by the Thai government-certified shop! When you want to eat Thai curry "Siam" green curry, this is a highly recommended restaurant that always comes up as a candidate! I have visited several times, but it always becomes full with a waiting list shortly after opening. It is a popular Thai curry restaurant in Kyoto. I enjoy green curry with chicken cutlet on top. There is no greater bliss than this. Toppings are a must!

It was too hot and I didn't have much of an appetite, so I went to Sham after a long time. The parking lot I used to use as a substitute was gone, so I parked at the parking lot on the Enmachi Station side. It was just after opening on a holiday, but there were already customers and it was full in about 15 minutes. It's still very popular. Green Curry Chicken Rice 50g with Cheese Topping - 1150 yen Red Curry Seafood Rice 100g - 1300 yen At this place, you first choose the type of curry. The basic is Thai curry, but they also have Brown Curry for those who don't like spicy food. Once you decide on the curry, you choose the amount of ingredients and rice. (You can also choose a smaller portion, but the price is the same as 200g) There were a lot of takeout orders, so it took about 18 minutes to be served. I had the impression that the cheese topping would be on the curry, but it was actually on the rice. Personally, I think the curry here has a good level of spiciness, but when you add cheese, it becomes very mild. The chicken was tender and there were plenty of ingredients, making it very delicious. I was quite full by the time I finished eating, but I was happy that I could still eat it even when I was feeling tired from the summer heat. I would like to visit again, including for takeout.

I had been curious about this place for a while, so I went there because I had some errands nearby. They had daily specials of Green Curry and Islamic Curry. I ordered a single serving of Yum Woon Sen. The taste was delicious, but it seemed to be catered more towards Japanese tastes, so as a Thai person, I found it lacking. The vegetables included like potatoes and pumpkins were a bit strange. What bothered me the most was the service provided by the female staff - they seemed to be pressuring me to make my menu selection quickly because they were busy. They stood behind me the whole time, and their manner of speaking felt cold and lacking in service industry warmth. It seemed like a popular place with a long line, but it just didn't quite suit me.

A shop located about a 5-minute walk from JR Saga Arashiyama Line Enmachi Station. This is a Thai curry specialty store certified by the Thai Ministry of Commerce and the first in Kyoto. I used to go there often, but this time I visited after a long time. Before the pandemic, it seemed like you had to wait in line to get in, but now it's not as crowded. Brown curry (pork) with rice 150g for 1100 yen, pork cutlet for 500 yen, green curry chicken with rice 150g for 1000 yen. It is served in about 10 minutes. The famous Thai curry here is said to be spicier than other restaurants' spicy levels. When I tried it, it was spicy but not unbearable. The ingredients, including the chicken, are plentiful and delicious. The brown curry is not spicy at all and seems like even kids could eat it. I added a pork cutlet topping, but the sauce was surprisingly sweet. I think it would be fine without being sweet. They also offer takeout, so I would like to visit again.

I've been craving Thai curry for a long time. I think I'll go to Siam, where the taste and consistency are always top-notch. The green curry is delicious, so I always stick to that, but I also look forward to the daily special that comes with lunch. It's almost always delicious too. I'm grateful that they'll remove the coriander (also known as stink bug grass) for me if I ask in advance.
