About Regent Thai

The kitchen turns out wok-tossed beef drunken sailor noodles, tender Wagyu, and coconut curries paired with complimentary steamed jasmine rice.

  • Generous Classic Plates: Plates range from wok-charred drunken sailor noodles to tender Wagyu beef and aromatic curries served with complimentary steamed jasmine rice.
  • Accommodating Service & BYO: The hospitable floor team accommodates BYO wine and happily customizes off-menu orders for specific cravings or dietary needs.
  • Authentic Sweets: Round out dinner with house-made coconut ice cream or traditional mango sticky rice paired with durian.
