The front desk lady by nature was a quiet person but she had a mask on and that kinda prevents conversations. The food was good, we had a set meal for lunch. the service was okay, the waiter was kind and made suggestions as it was our first time there. Our lunch was Basil Pork Fried Rice and the other set for my sister was Pad Thai. The food was yummy and the venue was cute.

Apinara Thai Cuisine and Bar is a concept from the award-winning team behind Nara Thai Cuisine. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a luxurious wooden theme with nice ambience. The restaurant offers an impressive range of delicate and creative Thai dishes. We ordered couple of the signature items during our visit and all are decent surprises.
🍍 Pineapple Fried Rice with Seafood, Chicken and Pork Floss ($148)
The fried rice was perfectly cooked with a slightly charred surface and a soft and chewy interior. The ingredients and seasoning were right on point.
🦐 Prawn carpaccio ($148)
My all time favourite in a Thai Restaurant, fresh and refreshing.
🦀 Thai Crab Meat Omelette ($158)
The omelette was light and custardy, topped with overwhelming amount of fresh crab meat. Spring onions and fried garlic were put on the side to enhance the layering of the dish.
🥭 Mango and Soft Shell Crab Rice Paper Rolls with Thai Spicy Herb Sauce ($138)
The soft shell crab was perfectly deep fried till it’s crispy and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The combo of mango and soft shell crab just never go wrong.
🥥 Crème Brulee with Fresh Young Coconut and Bird’s Nest ($128)
I love how Apinara gave a twist and had added some Thai elements into the traditional Crème Brulee. The combination of ingredients was a decent surprise to enjoy.

I had a lunch gathering with friends and wanted to find a place where I could chat comfortably. Plus I wanted to eat Thai food in the summer. I saw that there was a Michelin Thai restaurant in Pacific Place and decided to give it a try.
Lunch set includes soup of your choice, salad, dessert and tea
For soup, you can choose between Tom Yum Goong and Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. My friends all chose the former. Tom Yum Goong is sour and spicy, very rich and has a strong Thai spice flavor.
Chicken Salad. Tender chicken on the salad. Refreshing and appetizing.
When dining out, I can’t help but order frozen lemon tea. Coconut milk desserts are also of normal quality and have a strong coconut milk taste.
Thai style pork stir-fried with Phnom Penh noodles $188
Thai thick rice noodles are chewy and chewy. They are commonly found in Thai fried rice noodles. Whether it is rice noodles or pork, the sauce is just right and full of Thai flavor. It is delicious and delicious. You can add sugar, crushed chili and peanut powder on the side of the plate according to your personal preference.
Yellow curry fried chicken rice $198
The yellow curry is fragrant and you can taste different Thai spices. The taste is sweet and the aroma is strong. It is the mildest and least spicy among Thai curries. The fried chicken is also very good. It is crispy on the outside but retains the gravy on the inside. The chicken tastes better when dipped in curry sauce. Taste
The food tastes great, full of Thai flavor, the decoration is gorgeous and elegant, the dining environment is comfortable, and the price is medium to high in the Admiralty area. If you are in the Admiralty area, it is worth a try.

Had been here with my wife yesterday. When we went to the entrance of the restaurant, there was nobody there to seat us. Had to wait for a 2 mins. When we tried to wave to one of their staff, he just rudely pointed his hand at us asking us to wait. Then a waiter comes and when we ask him for a table for two, he just says wait and disappers; then a third waiter pops up and I literally have to shout at him that a table for two please and when we are rudely directed to our table
The food is quite good. Just one shocker that we get is the green chicken curry is with bones!! Never ever in my life have I seen a place where they serve green chicken curry with bones. Just insane.
Overall I think the attitude of the staff is extremely bad and unfriendly. Just puts you off completely. They just keep chatting amongst themselves. Extremely unpolite and ill-mannered.
In fact I was reading all the reviews and almost all of them have raised the similar concern. But I didnt see even a single response from the restaurant apologising or saying they would improve, etc. I think the management of the restaurant is just not bothered. A shame that the place serves good food but service leaves just so much to be desired.

Apinara is proud of their vegetarian menu that includes no less than 6 special #meatzero plant-based protein options and a whole other page of everyone's Thai favourites made vegetarian.
However if you visit during their afternoon tea set, you might be surprised to find no veg options on the menu. When I asked if I could have a veg option instead of the meat one (note - these are cheaper on the regular menu), I was met with a rigid 'no, not possible. There are no changes'
Furthermore, during our visit the restaurant was almost empty and the service was painfully slow whenever we needed any assistance.
Finally, my friend's tom yum soup was neither sour nor spicy and very tasteless... All big no nos for this Thai staple.

Been going to Thai basil whenever I am at the pacific place but looks like this will change after my visit to Apinara.
The sashimi grade prawn carpaccio was fresh and tasty that 1 order wasn’t enough to hit the spot; the prawn crackers are so addicting that I almost finish the whole basket while waiting for my friend.
I like the variety of food here especially their desserts; although I didn’t order any this time, I have my eye on a few items that I'll return for.

I made an appointment with an old colleague to have dinner in Jinzhong, and he immediately recommended this high-quality and popular Thai restaurant. The restaurant has a beautiful and comfortable environment and is a good place for gatherings👍
Fried shrimp crackers as a starter $18
My favorite Thai food is fried shrimp crackers. I can’t stop eating them. The crispy pudding is full of shrimp flavor😁
Thai Coconut Chicken Soup $128
Because my friend doesn’t like spicy food, this time I tried a non-spicy version of Thai food😆. This coconut chicken soup is really a surprise, it’s sour and sweet, very appetizing, and it’s full of ingredients, including mushrooms and chicken, so it’s so quick to drink😆.
Martha's Curry Beef Tendon $138
The beef shank is so tender, smooth and flavourful, and the Marthaman curry is so delicious even though my friends who don’t like spicy food praise it. Every bite of pancake requires a generous helping of the sauce🤣The thick sauce has a nutty flavor👍
Thai Pork Pad Thai $118
This fried rice noodle is another surprise. The pork is smooth, the rice noodle is chewy and chewy, and it is full of wok flavor after frying. The restaurant is very attentive, feel free to add more flavor if you want 😂
Pad Thai $88
Chao Tung Choi is basically an indispensable part of Thai cuisine😆
Both of us had a great meal tonight and had a great feast😋😋😛

My first time seeing Thai restaurant doing this Jay Fai style omelette in HK👀 They are having more layers which resulted fluffier texture and stronger egg aroma. Do add some more fish sauce and chilli paste for it👍🏼
𝗗𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲
WOW🤩 This was by far the best da pao rice I had in HK after my trip. It was dried and appetising. They even had two kinds of basils, one fried with the meat and one deep fried on top as garnish. Very well thought and delicious😋
𝗣𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻
This one was as good as expected and I like the condiments on side for you to adjust the flavour! Extra chilli flakes for me please😜
𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲
Mango sticky rice was too mainstream so I opted for the durian version😆 I didn’t know the rice is a hot one while it contrasted with durian ice cream on top! If you like durian, you cannot miss this 👍🏼

Located in Pacific Place, Dragon Thai Restaurant has been selected as one of the best restaurants in Bangkok, Thailand for 10 consecutive years. In addition to the elegant environment, the taste is also excellent!
Handmade chicken wrapped in pandan leaves (HKD168)
The dish is one of the most recommended dishes in the Thai main store. There is no reason not to try it when you come here. When I placed my order, I was told that it would take 20 minutes to prepare. I had been looking forward to it for a long time. When I saw the dish being served with a transparent glass cover, I already knew it was very special. The chicken wrapped in variegated leaves has a special flavor after being smoked!
Thai Wagyu Noodles (HKD168)
The soup base is made according to traditional cooking methods using a large amount of pork bones, beef bones, chicken feet, spices, etc. It is very rich. It is topped with sliced wagyu beef, marinated beef tendon, hand-baked beef balls and fried pork skin. Wait, it’s an unforgettable experience!
Honeydew Coconut Royal Custard (HKD108)
I didn’t expect this dessert to be such a surprise! Using the original coconut shell, the coconut custard and coconut ice cream have a strong coconut flavor, coupled with mango pulp and mango grapefruit popsicles, the taste is rich and refreshing!

Hong Kong's high-end business dating restaurant 🍴APINARA
Apinare is located at 205, L2, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty. The location is easy to find. After exiting Admiralty C1, turn left and take the escalator to the overpass. The overpass goes directly to Taigu Plaza L2, so turn left after exiting the overpass and keep walking until you see it
Apinare is based on European simple gray and white tones. Beige lighting 💡 is matched with dark blue porcelain plates 🍴, and it has a retro and elegant atmosphere. The long ink-wash table and the unique futon fan complement each other. Looking out, you can see high-rise buildings 🏙️Window view From the outside, you can feel the overflow of high-end feeling through the glass. It is the best place for gatherings 🎈 and business negotiations. It is also very suitable for couples to date. The bar in the center of the restaurant is lined with various high-heeled glasses 🥂 and red wine 🍷, which sparkle under the lights 💖. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and have a romantic and blurred date with your loved ones
The restaurant specializes in Thai 🇹🇭 cuisine My favorite is the Thai pork knuckle Duo (marinated & deep-fried). A large plate of pork knuckles is served with a special garlic chili sauce 🌶️ and vinegar dipping sauce. The meat is soft and melts in your mouth 😋 The dipping sauce relieves greasiness and brings a strong taste enjoyment. The combination of the two is simply a taste bud paradise 👄!
BBQ Pork Satay skewers 🍖 are really fragrant and can't be put down at all. The pork is very tender and roasted into a golden color, which is super appetizing. The Thai coconut chicken Coconut Chicken Soup soup base is milky and fragrant 🥛 The coconut flavor is rich. The stewed chicken is tender and absorbs the flavor of the coconut 🥥 soup base. The Southeast Asian flavor is rich in one mouthful.
The restaurant service is very professional. The waiters 💁♀️ bring high-quality service to the restaurant with every move. They are all in black suits and uniforms. They are patient in ordering and come without delay when they wave 🙋.
When you come to Hong Kong 🇭🇰, you must go to this restaurant!

⭐️Thai coconut milk chicken soup, slightly spicy with a bit of sweetness from chicken soup
⭐️Thai Wagyu Beef Boat Noodles
Thai Wagyu boat noodles $218 (Wagyu, beef balls, beef noodles)
The Thai Wagyu Boat Noodle soup base is rich in flavor. The Wagyu beef is tender and smooth, the beef balls are chewy, the beef is thick and tender, and the fried pork skin is very tasty. The ingredients are fresh enough and paired with Thai boat noodles.

A must-eat Thai food in Pacific Place, Admiralty, you must come to this super popular Thai restaurant - Apinara🇹🇭🍴
The environment here is relatively high-style and the service quality is high. Many white-collar workers in Hong Kong Island like to come here for dinner after work, so it is best to book a reservation.
We had to wait for a while to get a table when we walked in. On weekdays, it is already full house and the atmosphere is very lively.
Hurry up and grab some snacks, the food is very cost-effective:
1. Thai Coconut 🥥Chicken Soup $128
2. Green Curry Chicken $148
3. Indian 🇮🇳 Pancake $38
4. Minced Pork Omelette with Rice $118
5. Thai stir fried vegetables $88
All the food tastes 👅 very well done 👍🏻, appetizing and authentic 🤤 I especially like the Thai coconut 🥥 chicken soup, it is really delicious, so smooth and fragrant 😋 The green curry chicken is also famous, it is dipped with Indian 🇮🇳 pancakes Eating it is a must, it has enough flavor, the curry sauce can be eaten with rice, and it is super delicious🤤 All are recommended, be sure to try them.

Booking made for start of their dinner service yet they told me they had sold out of their signature chicken dish…. Really!!!! At the start of dinner service!!!! Very poor managenent….
Secondly I enquired if any of their mains were sugar-free. The waiter said -it’s Thai food, all have sugar!
Sugar in all food before you get to dessert!!!

Michelin-starred Thai dish "Apinara" recommended
I recently returned to Lebanon after a trip to Bangkok, and I still wanted to eat Thai food again, so my friend and I went to a restaurant in Admiralty to recommend Thai food "Apinara" with a Michelin star from Thailand. The restaurant is newly renovated, the environment is comfortable, and the location is spacious. It is located in Pacific Place The food quality will definitely not be bad.
Appetizers:
As a pre-dinner snack, there are Thai crispy shrimp crackers, which are quite generous in portion. The crispy shrimp crackers are delicious but not greasy, so every piece is big and whole, and it is delicious.
Thai coconut clam casserole:
The coconut clam pot is very sweet, with a bit of sourness in the mouth, which is very appetizing. The clam meat is quite large, and it is also fresh and sweet. There is a little bit of coconut meat in the soup, which is very refreshing.
Enough Pork Omelette:
It turns out that the minced meat is made from vegetarian meat. Because there is no pork when chewing it, I asked the staff to know how spicy the sauce on the side dish is, but it is very spicy. Each egg pancake is very large.
Enough Pork Minced Meat Rice Noodles Lettuce Wraps:
For this lettuce bun, I asked the staff if I could change it to pork head meat. It turns out that it is possible. The minced meat has a little fat and is chewy. The lettuce is so fresh.
All in all, the price is Michelin-starred, so it’s not expensive, and the environment is good enough to invest in. You can try other foods next time.

🥢Vegetable coconut soup $118🆙
It was my first time to try coconut soup. The soup was paired with mixed vegetables and carrots. It was full of ingredients, and the coconut flavor was very prominent, sweet and delicious. The soup is full of unique Thai flavor, with the right balance of salty, sweet and sour.
🥢 Tossed pork, minced pork and roasted eggplant $108🆗
Use eggplant as the base and add slightly spicy minced meat to make it appetizing and refreshing. It is best served with rice😋.
🥢Banana pancake with hazelnut spread and condensed milk $98🆗
The spicy and fragrant pancake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is filled with bananas, hazelnut paste and condensed milk. It is definitely a sweet and delicious after-dinner dessert🤩.
🥢Fresh Coconut Smoothie $65🆗
Made with fresh coconut and colorful cendol, this smoothie is perfect for drinking after spicy Thai food. The coconut smoothie is refreshing and makes the heat disappear. It is very suitable for the hot summer weather👍🏻.
🥢Fresh Pineapple & Ginger Smoothie $65🆙
The smoothie made with sweet pineapple and ginger is surprisingly good. The bursts of pineapple make the drink so refreshing. It is worth recommending😋.
