Frequently Asked Questions

Can spice levels be adjusted for mild palates at Chalong?

No. Chalong preserves authentic Southern Thai recipes by cooking each dish with its traditional chili paste profiles, meaning heat levels cannot be adjusted down. Spicy items like the Crab Curry and Sator Goong deliver genuine, uncompromising heat.

What gluten-free options are available on the menu?

Chalong provides numerous gluten-free items clearly labeled on the menu, including the Yum Som-O pomelo salad with fried cured branzino, raw scallop Lumpu Salad, Baerng Golae shrimp in coconut shells, banana-leaf grilled sea bass (Pla Mok Krueng), and the Massaman Duck Confit.

Does Chalong offer fixed-price or sharing menus for couples and groups?

Yes, Chalong offers curated multi-course set menus, including a popular $99 tasting option for two people and a multi-course "Family Table" set for four, featuring balanced combinations of signature appetizers, curries, seafood, and desserts.

How does Chalong's Southern-style Pad Thai differ from standard Pad Thai?

Unlike traditional Pad Thai with a sweet tamarind base, Chalong serves Mee Pum Riang—a Southern Thai regional style where rice noodles are stir-fried in a creamy, savory coconut curry sauce with plump shrimp, fresh bean sprouts, and lime.

What authentic Southern Thai ingredients are highlighted at Chalong?

The kitchen incorporates hard-to-find regional components including aromatic betel leaves in curries, stinky beans (sator) in fiery stir-fries, fresh turmeric rubs, holy basil, krachai (fingerroot), and rich squid ink.
