Chim by Chef Noom – A Luxurious Tasting of Thai Tradition in KL
Chim by Chef Noom — A Luxurious Tasting of Thai Tradition in KL
A Place That Whispers Grandeur
Hidden on the second floor of Menara TSLAW, Chim by Chef Noom feels like entering a private gallery, where each tray and table setting is curated for both the eyes and soul. It’s Thai fine dining sculpted with precision and reverence.
From Bangkok’s Stardom to KL’s Elegance
Created by the Michelin-starred Chef Noom — the same visionary behind Bangkok’s Chim by Siam Wisdom — this flagship in KL brings his signature storytelling through food to Malaysian diners.
A Tasting Journey, Not Just a Meal
The menu unfolds like chapters in a cultural memoir — each course is a dialogue between Thai street flavors, royal heritage, and modern mastery. Take “The Lost Recipe,” a 200-year-old royal tom yum rediscovered and reimagined, its balance of herbs and tang still lingers on my tongue.
The price tag reflects its rarity — around RM600++ per guest for the tasting menu. Private dining, ideal for special celebrations, starts at RM5,000 for six people.
Why I Was Moved
Atmosphere — refined, understated, and drenched in muted elegance.
Culinary Craft — each dish balances Thai tradition with creative plating and Japanese ingredients.
Emotion — it’s food that speaks history, culture, and innovation in every bite.

I visited Chim by Chef Noom in 2024 and had a very good experience. The atmosphere was stylish and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food beautifully combined traditional Thai flavors with a modern twist, with well-balanced taste and lovely presentation. Although the price is a bit higher than average, it’s definitely worth a try.
We enjoy every bites in this place. The 9-course tasting menu was a masterclass in Thai cuisine, with each dish more stunning than the last. We loved how much flavour was packed into a tart appetiser - it was a game-changer!
The beef was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. Service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. The ambiance was chic and intimate, making for a special night out. Definitely will be back again.
Chim by Chef Noom is a refreshing departure from the standard fine dining mold, offering a one-of-a-kind Thai experience in Malaysia. It integrates spice with genuine finesse, particularly in "The Lost Dish"—a complex, spicy cod soup that carries a depth of flavor far beyond a simple Tom Yum.
The menu is technically strong from the opening oyster to the main course of prawn, lobster, and beef paired with highly flavorful rice. Hospitality was great throughout, ending with a thoughtful herbal tea that served as the perfect, unpretentious reset. A solid choice for those seeking technical skill over flashy trends.
