5.5/10The place was busy and that’s fine, but the service was forgetful, slow and not engaging. I ordered the steak entrecôte with special “tiger tears” sauce. The sauce was tasty. However, the steak itself was the most stringy piece of beef I have struggled to cut with a steak knife ever. Just not appetizing to eat and, in my opinion, a low quality cut of beef. For 34 euros it should have been tender and a pleasure to eat. Not so much. I would never order that again. Overall, we found the whole affair to be really rather pricey for Thai food and for Portugal. These are prices seen in the USA, not Portugal. Also, the appetizer arrived at our table, but the bottle of wine ordered at the same time took an additional 15 minutes to reach the table. The staff were nice and pleasant, but the whole evening was not a great dining experience.

6/10The pad Thai was terrible. The worst I have ever eaten. It was more like Chinese noodles. I ate three bites and just left it there. Fried calamari arrived greasy, not crisp. Fish was good, as was the spicy green papaya salad. We ate here about a year ago and had a quite good meal, so I don't know what happened. We won't be back. This is a fairly pricey restaurant, so they need to get it right.
BAAN Saraiva's • Owner
Dear Stuart, we are very sorry about this experience. We shared your feedback with our Chefs. As for the pad Thai, we tried to understand the meaning of Chinese noodles ? The noodles are actually imported from Thailand and the homemade sauce is the same since our opening. We served so many pad thai during your visit. As for the calamari, after your first complain, we did again a new Calamari and checked it carefully. The kitchen cannot be only dedicated to one client. Again, the prices are explained by the quality and authenticity . We hope you will find a restaurant that suits better your wishes.

10/10BAAN was highly recommended by our neighbours. It did not disappoint at all. The food was of high quality and amazing, the service was impeccable when we had lunch on Saturday, August 17th. We wanted to go back for lunch on Sunday but it was unfortunately closed. We will for sure be back when we are in Lisbon. The BEST Asian/Thai food in Lisbon. Keep up the good work!!

9/10the Massamam curry we ordered had only 3 or 4 small piece or chicken. at 22€, it seems a bit over price. Food tasted good but not exceptional enough to justify the price.
BAAN Saraiva's • Owner
Thank you for visiting us. We take into consideration your comments. The price of the massamam curry is 19 euros. I hope that you will visit us again for an equal or more satisfying experience.

10/10The service is impeccable: friendly and welcoming and very eager to make sure you are enjoying your food. The food is outstanding, from the perfectly crunchy, light and flavorful spring rolls (so good we had 3 orders!) to the succulent scallop curry, Thai bbq ribs and delicious coconut ice cream. The recommended wine was excellent too. One thing to note is Thai chilis are hot, so if you want a mild spicy then choose mild. One of us ordered medium spicy and he needed to ask for more coconut milk to reduce the heat. Also, this is an upscale but unfussy place: be prepared to pay for the excellence BAAN provides; you will find it is well worth it!

7/10The food was actually very good and the servants quite friendly and attentive. However the music was too loud, and when that happens people start speaking louder as well. With two groups in the dining room, the atmosphere was totally ruined, which is a shame because the food is really worth trying!
BAAN Saraiva's • Owner
We thank you for your comment on our authentic Thai cuisine and our service. We are sorry for the noise due to a full restaurant but we are working to reduce the noise. Next time do not hesitate to ask to be seated in a more quiet space. We now hope to see you again soon for a new culinary experience !
