I’ve been here during their first year of operations. I loved everything especially the Pad Thai and Catfish Salad. I would definitely go back to eat here again. Been missing their food!

All restaurants in the milkway building are so good. Pricey yet so good. And just a walking place to where I live every time I stay in makati. So Azuthai is one of my got to thai places. Since people’s palace quality change, and i figured this thai restaurant, this has been my favorite. Really good food, service and the staff are very attentive.
This is my ultimate favorite place to order Thai food. Their Pad Thai is my daughter’s favorite. My favorite is their Massaman Curry which has no equal anywhere. I eat it with the fried catfish salad and rice. All the food there is sooo yummy.

Our ordered:
- Azuthai Appetizer Sampler (5/5) P595
One plate there is fish cake, shrimp roll & thai shrimp roll, all have 2 pcs. Love the sauce for shrimp roll! However the fish cake not quite good taste.
- Chicken Fried rice (5/5)
Good for 1-2 person
Super yummy fried rice!
- Shrimp Padthai (3/5)
Good for 3 person
A bit disappointed with the taste, I already have high expectation it’s should be good taste but it’s too sweet and not really original padthai taste.
- Chicken Pandan (4/5)
5 pcs chicken tight (small)
- Tom Yum Goong (4/5)
Good for 3 person
We can choose the level of the spiciness (none, mild or spicy), I tried the mild and it’s good enough, unfortunately the filling not much at all.
- Mango sticky rice with ice cream (5/5) P295
Good for 1-2 person
- Thai ice tea (4/5) P100
Good taste. No provides pitcher.
Overall the taste is good (wisely choose the best one!) and for the price is expensive enough.
Ambiance is elegant and comfortable. There is 2 private rooms for 10-12 persons.
The server is quite friendly, but they lack of the service time.
Yam Sam O (Pomelo Salad) - best I've ever had.. balance of sweet, salty, sour, everthing works well together. The only downside I can think of is the price, almost 600php for a small serving.
Prawn Cakes - really fresh
Khao Soi - a bit of a disappointment, creamy, well seasoned, has enough heat but it lacked flavor plus chicken was tough
One of the quartet of premium restaurants located at the corner of Arnaiz and Paseo de Roxas, Azuthai stands out as a destination for sumptuous and authentic high-end Thai cuisine. Even selective eaters like my wife found plenty to enjoy here, from the spare ribs to the pandan chicken, while I scarfed down servings of pad thai and a Thai take on crispy pata. Admittedly some of the dishes taste like they’ve been fine tuned for the Filipino palate, but there’s no complaining about the quality and style of cooking on display. Service is also polite, receptive and unobtrusive, which is ideal for the setting. Lastly, interiors are warm and elegant - great for family gatherings or a date night.
Why not a 5? Mainly the lack of a wow factor or some truly exceptional dish in spite of the great overall experience. Still, with a drought of good Thai restaurant options, this is a solid pick.
Azuthai is a lovely place that serves authentic tasting Thai food with attentive and friendly staff. Every dish is well balanced and very tasty. Loved everything but my favorite dishes are: fried spring rolls, catfish salad, duck salad, pad Thai, masaman curry, chicken fried rice, and the Thai halo halo.
Azuthai takes Thai cuisine in a whole different level. Prices may be something you need to allot budget for, but they are very much worth it given the ambiance and the food. It was a Thai friend who recommended this restaurant for us to try, so I guess that really says a lot right?
Why 5 stars?
It was a "soulful" experience dining here in Azuthai. Ingredients seems really sourced well with how the flavors came out. There are subtle differences, but these pile up into something that differentiates each dish from other Thai restaurants.
Food Recommendations:
Massaman Lamb Curry (P695), Pad Thai with Prawns (P495), Thai Milk Tea (P100) and Tako Desserts (P175)
We had their crispy duck salad and their Tom kha gai to start, the duck salad was a pretty small serving, but it tasted good. The duck might have been better if it was a little less crisp, but overall it's good. Their dishes are generally good, though I don't know if any particular thing stands out as extremely notable. Their pad Thai is good, their curries are good though they could stand to be a bit thicker, their Jasmine rice is perfectly cooked and is a joy to eat. This is a solid albeit upscale Thai place that you can definitely go to on nice occasions.

After an inordinate amount of planning, procrastinating and subsequently rescheduling I have finally had the pleasure of dining at Azuthai. My curiousity about anything associated with Thai cuisine has created this monumental build up for the visit and though it was not the magnum opus I thought it would be, I wasnt disappointed.
The first thing I noticed is how elegantly designed the interiors of the restaurant is. Ambiently lit and sophisticatedly ornate with Thai themed pieces and artifacts you can really feel the elegance and pomp that comes with the price tag you pay for your meal. Although not the sprawling establishment one has imagined, Azuthai maintains its spacious distancing of tables creating that intimate dining feel you would want on a special date night.
Their version of Thai cuisine is a tad bit subdued compared to People's Palace or Benjarong. The subtleness of the hints is not due to the lack of condiments but rather the exceptional blending of flavors that happens during preparation.
Except for the Tom Yum, which is unapologeticaly raw and powerful (I love how spicy and sour it is), no other dish had the earthy and herby contrast that traditional Thai dishes would normally have.
The Pad Thai for one had all the subtle hints of cilantro, peanuts and thai fish sauce, blended into a symphony flavor of texture that would make you want more with each morsel.
The pandan chicken was prepared more or less in the same way, injecting the tender and most chicken with deceptively addictive flavor of lemon grass.
The sticky rice also had the under the radar hints of cocunit milk and milk that fused well with the sticky rice forging a palate pleasing dessert.
Overall, though I wouldnt rank Azuthai higher than Peoples Palace or Benjarong, I would put it in its own special place of being that go restaurant if Im in the mood for Thai food that is a little subdued but still authentic.
