At Chada, the true essence of Thailand unfolds through food, art, tradition, and memories carried from home.
Chada, a contemporary Thai restaurant opened in NYC by Praonnut “Pim” Udompanit, offers a refined dining experience inspired by the grace and grandeur of Thai royalty and culture. Featuring interior décor, hand-painted artwork depicting the Ramakien, and handcrafted details brought directly from Thailand, the establishment blends royal culinary traditions with vibrant street-food flavors under award-winning Chef Sira “Don” Dechasawas. Highlighted by signature nut-free dishes like deboned steamed branzino, short-rib panang curry, and a Southern Thai spicy crab salad rooted in family nostalgia, Chada pairs its menu with handcrafted cocktails for a complete journey through Thailand's rich heritage.
