Thung Thai Restaurant

Thung Thai Restaurant on Düppelstraße in Steglitz

The Thung Thai Restaurant is located on Düppelstraße, a side street in the center of Steglitz, just a few steps from the Rathaus Steglitz transport hub. The U9, S1, and a large bus station with lines such as M48, M85, X83, 186, and 282 converge there, making the address easily accessible from the south and west of the city. Tables are available outdoors in front of the restaurant, and parking is available on paid street spaces.

The establishment describes its cuisine as original Thai street food, cooking directly and simply. The business is run by Tapin Scharkus. Reservations are made by phone, and takeout orders are also handled by phone or directly at the restaurant. Payment can be made with common debit and credit cards.

Laab, Som Tam, and whole fish at Thung Thai

The menu is numbered and surprisingly extensive for a restaurant of this size. Isaan cuisine is represented with Papaya Salad Som Tam Thai for 9.90 Euros, the Som Tam Pu Plaa variant, and Laab, which comes in four versions: with chicken, beef, pork, or duck. A Pad Thai with chicken costs 11.90 Euros, the vegetarian option slightly less, and the shrimp version slightly more. This pricing structure runs through the entire menu.

The fish dishes are significantly more elaborate: Pla Nung Manow, a steamed tilapia, and Pla Rad Prig, a whole fried fish, mark the upper end of the price list. In between are classics like Massaman Curry, Pad Gra Pao, Green Jungle Curry Gang Pa, and stir-fried noodles Pad Kuey Teow Kee Mao. For all curries, salads, and house specialties, the level of spiciness can be freely chosen, as explicitly indicated on the menu. Vegetarian options are consistently provided, but there is no specific vegan labeling.
