As the hottest new addition to the dining landscape of Kwun Tong District, Chao Thai Singa Viet strikes to make for a crowd-pleasing impression on The Millennity.
Hong Kong’s latest dining newcomer at the ever-busy Kwun Tong District arrives in both confidence and colour. Chao Thai Singa Viet, a restaurant that is an amalgamation of Thai, Singaporean, and Vietnamese cuisines, has recently opened at The Millennity. Founded by the same minds behind Ruên Thai & Vietnamese in Tsim Sha Tsui, the restaurant positions itself as a vibrant and neighbourhood-driven destination, designed with office workers, local residents, and casual weekend diners in mind.
Centred on the philosophy of everyday comforts served in generous portions at accessible prices, Chao intends to deliver bold, crowd-pleasing dishes in an uplifting atmosphere. Carrying the same spirited confidence as the food, the mood inside is immediate: forest-green tiled walls gleam beneath woven lantern light, colourful Southeast Asian artworks punctuate the room, and green marble tables meet plush red velvet banquettes in a setting that feels both nostalgic and playfully contemporary. By day, it’s breezy and convivial; by night, the space transforms into a softly lit, holiday-tinged escape where conversations stretch long over shared plates and chilled drinks.
That same convivial spirit defines the menu, crafted for generous sharing of bold, layered flavours around the table. It begins with punchy starters such as Yum Kha Gai, a fiery chicken feet salad crowned with crisp fried chicken skin, and Goong Che Nompa, raw shrimp sashimi lifted with garlic and chilli. From the grill come smoky crowd-pleasers like Kor Moo Yang, grilled pork neck paired with tamarind sauce, and Pla Meuk Yang, a whole grilled squid made for easy pairing with drinks during daily happy hour.
Noodle lovers are equally indulged with heat-retaining Thai stainless-steel pots. Mama Jeh O’s Tom Yum instant noodles arrive generously topped with shrimp and crispy pork belly, while Guay Tiew Ruea showcases Wagyu beef in an aromatic herb broth. To finish, homemade pandan and Thai milk tea ice creams, delicate crêpe cakes, and nostalgic sips such as Thai Lod Chong and Cha Kiao complete the experience, alongside playful cocktails from a fragrant Lemongrass Mojito to a punchy Tom Yum Margarita.
Add to that a generous daily happy hour and an accessible weekday lunch offering, and Chao makes its intention clear to be not just a restaurant, but Kwun Tong’s lively, everyday escape for flavour-driven comfort.
