Momo Thai" is a Thai restaurant that opens early in the morning at 5:00 a.m. in Shinjuku 2-chome. The pink statue is the landmark of this Thai restaurant. You can enjoy authentic and delicious Thai cuisine prepared by a cheerful Thai chef while feeling as if you were actually in Thailand with the pink interior. The restaurant is so authentic that even those who have traveled to Thailand before come back to the restaurant for another taste of the country's cuisine and become repeat customers. The main restaurant in Shinjuku 2-chome offers a wide variety of menu items, all of which can be ordered for only 390 yen, and is recommended for those who want to try a variety of Thai dishes little by little or for women who are not sure if they can eat all of them by themselves. In addition to the main restaurant, bento boxes are also sold at six other locations around Shinjuku.

MomoThai's Best Thai Cuisine

Khao Mangai" full of flavor

Khao Mangai
Among the many dishes on the menu, Momotai's most recommended bento is the "Khao Mangai. The plump, plump chicken is cooked at low temperature and boiled slowly, making it very tender and full of flavor. The rice is cooked in a broth full of its flavor, and the sauce is rich with ginger! Everything is in perfect taste balance at Khao Mangai. This is a Thai dish that even those who are not familiar with Thai food can easily try.

Authentic "Gapao Rice

Gapao rice
We also recommend the "Gapao Rice" with plenty of savory vegetables. The spicey flavor unique to Thailand goes great with the rice. The fried egg on top of the rice is semi-cooked, and if you like, you can sprinkle shichimi (seven spices) on it to give it an extra spicy flavor that brings it closer to authentic Thai cuisine.

The menu also includes other specialties such as "green curry" and rice with laap made from pork with plenty of Thai herbs, which is a different and authentic Thai dish. Although the bentos are reasonably priced, they are hearty and full of delicious Thai food.
Momotai's boxed lunch
