This was my 2nd time dining at this restaurant and it's my utmost disappointing experience this time
This was my second time dining at this restaurant, and it was my most disappointing experience this time around. I ordered pineapple fried rice, and the chicken chunks inside had an unpleasant smell, which I had to set aside. Only the cashew nuts tasted nice. The Thai lemon tea had a strong artificial flavour that I couldn't consume. The only dish I managed to finish was the Thai prawn cake. The service staff were not friendly, except for the Filipino cashier. The staff tended to talk very loudly amongst themselves, thus 'killing' the comfortable ambiance of the restaurant. I won't be patronising this restaurant as the quality of food has dropped, and the price is more expensive than other Thai restaurants.

The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the service for customers is good. Specialty manager Grace, you must come and try the Thai Buffet; it's very worth it for the price.

Tried their 90-minute unlimited à la carte Thai buffet and absolutely loved it! Some top picks for us were the Seafood Tom Yum, Steamed Seabass with Spicy Lemon Sauce, and the Crunchy Cereal Prawns, Thai Prawn Cake, and Hotplate Seafood Tofu, all served fresh, hot, and packed with flavour. So worth it! The service was prompt and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back for more!

I recently dined at Central Thai in Changi Airport Terminal 3 and opted for their Thai buffet priced at $49.90++ for adults. The variety and quality of dishes exceeded my expectations.
I started with the fish cake, which was crispy on the outside and tender inside. The pineapple fried rice was flavorful and had a delightful sweetness that complemented the savory dishes. The sambal kangkong was fresh and had the right amount of spice. The hotplate sambal squid was a standout with its rich, spicy sauce and perfectly cooked squid.
My favorite dish was the Thai spicy basil sliced beef. The beef was tender, and the basil added a fragrant touch that elevated the dish. The tomyum seafood soup was aromatic and packed with fresh seafood, delivering a comforting and spicy kick. To cool down, I had the Thai iced milk tea, which was creamy and refreshing.
The restaurant offers halal-certified, home-styled Thai cuisine prepared by native Thai chefs, ensuring authenticity in every bite. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff were attentive and friendly.
Overall, Central Thai provides a delightful dining experience with a wide array of flavorful dishes. I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Thai food in a comfortable setting.
