What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Redbox Restaurant is highly lauded for its exceptional Thai fusion cuisine, impeccable service, and beautiful ambiance, often described as a standout fine dining experience. While most diners are captivated by the creative dishes and attentive staff, a few reviews mention concerns about high pricing and some dishes not meeting expectations, leading to the sentiment of it being a potential 'tourist trap' for some. Nonetheless, for those seeking an innovative culinary journey, it's frequently recommended as a must-visit in Chiang Mai.
"If you’re in the mood for Thai food elevated with a modern twist, Redbox is a must-try. This fine dining spot dazzles with outstanding creativity in every dish, pushing the boundaries of traditional Thai flavors without losing their soul.
The taste is simply amazing—bold, balanced, and beautifully layered. Their duck breast with Thai sauce stole the show: tender, perfectly cooked, and glazed with a sauce that delivered a masterful blend of spice, and depth. It’s one of those dishes that lingers on your mind long after the last bite.
The service was warm and attentive, complementing the overall fine dining experience. A standout moment was when the chef personally came to our table after the meal, taking time to gather feedback and genuinely engaging with our thoughts. It’s a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel even more personalized and memorable."

"We were hungry and so we googled. We went with no expectations. Nestled in a quiet road opposite Maya Mall, we were their first guests of the day.
Upon opening the door, then we realise it was an award winning Michelin restaurant.
We went for their tasting menu,couldn’t drink as I had to wake up early.
The moment we sat down, the wait staffs were extremely friendly and courteous which makes it very welcoming.
Every dish was explained thoroughly and in detail.
Every single dish and drinks was delectable and scrumptious! Though on the slightly pricier side, it is well worth every penny spent. Words cannot describe the taste at all.
A very unique dining experience you cannot miss in Chiang Mai.
Kudos and Special thanks to Chef Dan and his team for making my birthday a pleasantly wonderful surprise!
We hope to come back again in future.
Meanwhile, keep your creative juices flowing and continue to curate innovative cuisine."

"Not recommended as this is certainly a tourist trap. Some concepts are nice, but nothing too worthy. The worst part is that they will try to take as much money from you as possible, for even a simple pot of tea that was not mentioned how much it would cost and whether we would be charged for it.
The price is way too high for what you get although we don’t mind paying even more for food and dining experiences that are worth it, so it’s not surprising that there were only two other tables that were occupied throughout our dining time. An ideal pricing point would be half of what is charged (we paid around 15,000 baht with only one small bottle for wine which was not that high anyways).
Some dishes were amazing, and many others a total failure. Presentation was stellar, but taste was below average. However, the river prawn dish was honestly amazing! Hands down the best one we had in Thailand! The tenderloin itself was not tasting good at all and was cooked quite badly. It tasted like a cheap supermarket meat, but the sauce was nice. The prelude was not so good, we didn’t like most of them. The scallops were nice, but a bit too heavy. The fish and chips were a unique combination. The roti and naan breads were not good at all.
We came here before several time. Would we come back? Certainly not. We like trying Michelin recommended restaurants, but this was a bit absurd for what you get."

The best restaurants in Chiang Mai 2025
: A charming, family-run restaurant tucked down a quiet soi off Huay Kaew Road, where Thai flavours meet Bruneian and Malaysian influences, all served in an intimate, low-key setting that feels more like dining with friends than at a restaurant. Why we love it: Redbox started as a humble ready-meal concept, but thanks to the vision of husband-and-wife duo Chef Dan and Pimmada Kankulsuntorn, it’s evolved into one of Chiang Mai’s best-kept culinary secrets. Drawing on years spent living in Brunei, the couple bring a thoughtful fusion of flavours to a menu that changes with the seasons and highlights ingredients from their own orchard.Think scallop carpaccio, slow-cooked lamb shank in panang curry, and desserts that hero Malaysian gula melaka (palm sugar) instead of the usual refined stuff.
