Thai Chi, Chinese restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Thai Chi is a Chinese restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh, decorated with red lanterns, wooden screens, and circular moon gates. The dining room follows a traditional style that stands out from most other restaurants in the city.
The restaurant opened in the early 2000s, when Chinese food was starting to gain a following in Dhaka. It was among the first addresses to bring this style of cooking to a wider audience in the city.
Thai Chi is one of the few places in Dhaka where both Cantonese and Sichuan dishes appear on the same menu. Diners can order preparations that are rarely found in other Chinese restaurants across the city.
The restaurant tends to fill up at lunch and dinner hours, so arriving early or booking ahead helps avoid a wait. The menu is available in both English and Bengali, which makes ordering easier for visitors.
The kitchen employs chefs from China who specialize in Sichuan and Cantonese cooking and use classic techniques such as wok frying over very high heat. This method gives the dishes a flavor that few kitchens in Dhaka can reproduce.
