As in above comment many gentlemen had already expressed their view towards the foods that they have tasted in the Purpal Haze Restaurant and Bar. I think they are satisfied with the tastes and the services they were provided in this restaurant. Once I have also visited this restaurant, and I too liked the foods, drinks and the warm welcome. You know everyone have rights to express their view. In my view if this restaurant manages to play the western music then the customers would love more. I don't have any dough about foods and all the services they are providing. They are good. However, the guests are always searching for new things. So, if they would bring the nice western musician in the restaurant then they will not forget the restaurant as I haven't forgotten it because of its delicious foods. At last I would like to say that chicken soup became my favorite after I visited this restaurant.

Like the chicken and pumpkin red curry.But the restaurant was pretty busy every night. You'd better make a reservation in advance.

Went to Purple Haze the other day.
After reading all the good review out there, we went with quite a high expectations and came out all but satisfied. Well, my Thai friend was already disappointed the moment she found out PH don't have Thai chef..:-)
we ordered Papaya salad, Green curry chicken, Tom yum gong, and Pad thai. The papaya salad was not spicy as it should be, watery and too sour. The pad thai taste like chinese chow mien. For me, the best dish would be the tom yum gong whilst my other friends loved the curry.

The service was good, price was reasonable (198RMB for 4 dishes). We also got complementary Tsing Tao on arrival. But I'd choose 'Serve The People' anyday.

ps: None of the Thai resto in Beijing can beat the Thai resto in Sydney such as Chat Thai, Spice I Am or even Thai Pothong!

I live next to Purple Haze, have been there twice, the food is OK, pretty bland. I cook Thai food and can tell that there are spices missing in the curry. For authentic Thai curry with gestalt and kick one must add fresh galanga, kaffir lime leaves and rhizomes, which are not easy to find unless you go to a good Thai market. These ingredients separate the rest from the best. The chef in Purple Haze is Chinese. I'm sorry but I want my Thai food cooked by a Thai, thank you. 5 out of 10 for the food. I must say though that the service is very attentive and the ambiance is casual cool.

I am loving the restaurants available in this neiborhood.
Purple Haze is a great space, with nice staff and a great menu. I have been 3 times and all three were great experiences.
Love so many of their foods, have had their green curry with beef and then with chicken
great! the steamed fish was also very tasty.

I tried their bbq beef salad - so good i could have that everyday

good food, good service, good prices
no wonder they win the awards they do

Saw the previous reviews and found that people are getting wealthier that they are too insensitive to the pricing of foods nowadays.

Tried Purple Haze yesterday since it has been voted as Best Thai Restaurant in town. Well, maybe I had too much expectation since its suppose to be the best. These were what I ordered:

1) Red Curry Beef - Red Curry is okay, not spectacularly good, but acceptable, however the beef is not tender enough, its just beef, and they did not take into the consideration that the fire to keep the dish hot will eventually make the beef gets overcooked since you are not going to finish this big pot of beef within 3 mins. The portion is ok.

2) Deep fried Shrimp dices - No good. Tasteless. Not crispy too. Disappointing.

3) Tom Yum Gong - Pretty good, can't complain too much, pretty traditional.

4) Pad Thai - Pretty good too. Will order this one again if happens to revisit.

Well, first of all, I still think that since the store is located on the 2nd floor, the rental shall be much cheaper, and the restaurant could actually lower down the price a little (one of the most expensive thai restaurant in town for sure), lucky the portion given is acceptable, but for 2 persons, we can hardly order more dishes to try.

Secondly, since its the best Thai Restaurant, it gives me the feeling of being a fusion thai restaurant with mixed South East Asian cuisines, either it has been localised or customized to suit the caucasians.

Been trying to find a pure traditional thai restaurant but unfortunately, the best Thai Restaurant in town isn't just what I expect it to be. Need improvement to really qualified to be the best in town.

Anyway, service is acceptable too.

A nice Thai place where the prices are moderate for what you get. The vibe is nice and it's a rather casual place. English is good and one of the owner is Swedish so you will find many Swedes here.

Friendly restuarant that is unable or unwilling to enforce its own no smoking ban since before beijing tried unsuccessfully. Good wine list. American style thai food from imperial bangkok. Food is good portions are small. Prices are ok
