williewillie Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Cha Cha Cha is a new Thai restaurant on Second Road, just across from Boyztown. It’s very modern and the food is very colorful and tasty with ample portions and good prices. The food is not bland. They use a lot of fresh colorful vegetables. vinapu, biguyby and paborn 3 Quote

hanan Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 One hopes they have chicken with cashew nuts on the menu They have and very tasty also. A bit pricy at 159 baht but it's a large size dish. vinapu and biguyby 2 Quote
vinapu Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 They have and very tasty also. A bit pricy at 159 baht but it's a large size dish. still much less than drink price in most of Boyztown bars, thank you for a good news biguyby 1 Quote
kokopelli Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 They have and very tasty also. A bit pricy at 159 baht but it's a large size dish. Pricey? Not in my experience. Quote
hanan Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Pricey? Not in my experience. I usually pay between 109 and 130 for that in the restaurants that I frequent in Pattaya. And that sometimes include rice. In Cha cha cha rice is an extra 20 baht, or maybe it was 25 I don't remember. I actually think most on Cha cha chas menu was a bit overpriced for thai food but since the food is good and the location is convenient near Boyztown, I still go there sometimes. Quote
kokopelli Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 159 Baht is the normal price I would pay or something like cashew chicken; and rice is always 20 Baht extra in Thai restaurants that I visit. Nevertheless, I don't see how it could be called pricey? The fish prices in ChaChaCha are much higher in the 400 Baht range, as I recall, so I don't order that. Quote
biguyby Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Is Cha Cha Cha near to where the old Boat Bakery Budget Restaurant was located? Quote
hanan Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Is Cha Cha Cha near to where the old Boat Bakery Budget Restaurant was located? Yes near. The Boat bakery place is now yet another massageplace. biguyby 1 Quote
ChristianPFC Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I regularly eat fried chicken with cashew nut, rice and drinking water (glass bottle will be refilled) for 85 THB in Ladprao near soi 101. biguyby 1 Quote
biguyby Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Yes near. The Boat bakery place is now yet another massageplace. Thanks Hanan, I'll give it a try next month. Quote
kokopelli Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I regularly eat fried chicken with cashew nut, rice and drinking water (glass bottle will be refilled) for 85 THB in Ladprao near soi 101. This is in Bangkok or Pattaya? Is it a restaurant with air con or a street stall or street food? Quote

And Cha cha cha isn't a luxuary restaurant. It's a hostel with a small restaurant down in the lobby. Quote
ChristianPFC Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 This is in Bangkok or Pattaya? Is it a restaurant with air con or a street stall or street food? Bangkok. No aircon, but you can call it a restaurant as kitchen and furniture are fixed installation. Your questions are valid. Need more information than just price to compare. Quote

But that's all I look for in a hotel: bed, toilet and shower. vinapu and biguyby 2 Quote
hanan Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 They've started to make you fill in a form when ordering food at the table and hand it over to the waitress instead of her writing down what people want for food. A bit weird. Quote

A bit weird. may be they think it's more upscale and sophisticated practice, if that's the case just wait for a price rise Quote
spoon Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 may be they think it's more upscale and sophisticated practice, if that's the case just wait for a price rise Over here, its a practice of those mid scale restaurants cutting down number of waiters, and their waiting time. Quote
kokopelli Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I believe they are just trying to get an accurate order. Often times the waiter stands around for a long time while customers try to decide what to order. Quote
hanan Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 may be they think it's more upscale and sophisticated practice, if that's the case just wait for a price rise They raised Chicken and cashew from 159 to 169 baht. I guess they have to cover for the paper costs. faranglaw and vinapu 2 Quote

spoon Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I believe they are just trying to get an accurate order. Often times the waiter stands around for a long time while customers try to decide what to order. Another way to put it, they want the customer to do what waiter used to do for them? Lol Quote
vinapu Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 They raised Chicken and cashew from 159 to 169 baht. I guess they have to cover for the paper costs. still less than I pay in Oasis Surawong, place where I like that dish the most. It's sure thing that whenever I will be in Pattaya next time I know where my first meal will be eaten as long as they still will stay in the business Quote
