Chim by Siam Wisdom

Massaman Lamb
THB3550.00
Slow-braised lamb in traditional Massaman curry with peanuts and potatoes.
Tip: The lamb is tender enough to eat with a spoon. Save some rice for the sauce — it's sweet and complex.
#2Score 89/100
KHAAN
Pathum Wan·$$$$
Wagyu Beef Massaman
Massaman curry featuring premium wagyu beef.
Tip: The wagyu makes this massaman incredibly rich — it's a heavier course, so pace yourself if you're already full.
#3Score 89/100
Saneh Jaan
Lumphini·$$$
Beef Massaman Curry
Rich Muslim-influenced curry with tender beef, potatoes, and roasted peanuts.
Tip: The beef is cooked until very tender. Multiple reviewers called this a standout — the Massaman here is richer and more complex than typical versions.

Wana Yook
Ratchathewi·$$$
Beef Massaman with Longkong Fruit
THB4500.00
Traditional massaman curry with beef served alongside fresh longkong fruit.
Tip: If longkong fruit is out of season, Chef Black substitutes a different fruit that achieves similar acidity. Ask what's being used—it changes seasonally.

Sukhumvit, Asoke·$
Yellow Curry with Massaman
THB40.00
Yellow curry rice served with beef or chicken massaman curry.
Tip: The beef version is more tender than chicken. Both come with a boiled egg included.
