Overall the environment is not big but clean and tidy. The service is good and really fast. Most of the foods are above average. But the salted fish of Kailan is not fresh by the way. The Petai dish taste is just so so and not recommended. Other than that nothing much to complain. The drinks are below average for me. Nothing special.
This restoran delivers more than meets the eye. Without a doubt the best Thai food I have ever had. We were guests tonight so I am guessing the bottom line. Worth the drive to Port Dickson.
We had dinner at Restoran Warinee Tom Yam in Port Dickson and it was a pleasant surprise. The dishes were simply presented, but the flavours were spot on—vibrant, well-balanced, and satisfying. We ordered a variety of items, including their signature tom yum. The soup had that perfect sweet-sour-heat harmony, with juicy prawns and a fragrant broth that made every spoonful comforting. Other dishes were straightforward but tasty—fresh greens, tender proteins, and sauces that felt thoughtful, not overdone. The restaurant itself was casual and unpretentious, with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Friendly staff welcomed us and made sure everything arrived fresh and just right. Nothing fancy, but everything we ate felt honest and enjoyable. If you’re in Port Dickson and craving a solid, no-frills Malaysian-Thai meal, Warinee Tom Yam is a great pick. Good tastes, good vibes, and just the right level of ease for a nice dinner out.
We had quite a good time there for lunch. Quiet, peaceful environment. The steam fish, love hate relationship. The spicy/sweet/sourness is really fantastic. The sweet and sour chicken and fried bitter gourd are delicious too. Just follow the owner's style will do.
Sometimes the shop did not open. When it is open the shop is always full house during my visit. *Tips - Better call and make reservations before going. The restaurant owner is local but his wife is a Thai. He is friendly but has a poker face. Please do not get misunderstood by his facial expression. He is usually like that. The food is delicious especially the "Steam Lemon Fish) but if you can't eat spice, better update the waiter to reduce the spice level, make it less spicy. Will recommend for everyone who likes Thai food.
Small, family run restaurant that serves really authentic Thai food! We ordered a few dishes, including steamed lemon fish, fried prawn cakes, prawn stink beans, Tom yum soup, mango sticky rice, and chicken, were all fantastic. Even the seemingly simple stir fried vegetable was outstanding. We also ordered warm lemongrass drinks without sugar. This wasn’t in the menu but they do serve it. In addition to having actual Thai employees, after chatting to the chef, we realised that many of the raw ingredients were imported from Thailand, including the white rice, glutinous rice, soy sauce, and fish sauce. We paid RM370 in total, split among 10 of us - a bargain. Seriously recommended.
Amazing place for lunch if you are around Port Dickson. Highly recommended the taste of the dishes are amazing and delicious with the sourness that was just right and tingles your tastebuds. If you are ever around KL or Port Dickson recommend you pop-by for lunch to have a bite at it. Service was amazing the uncle there was friendly and also helped to recommend what dishes to order and how much to order. Cheap and delicious food along with the fast service and didn't have to wait long for the food to be served worth every dollar spent. Highly recommended dishes: Lemon Steamed Fish Prawn Cakes Tom Yum Soup Seafood/Chicken Mango Sticky Rice
We ordered three dishes for two people — everything was perfect, especially the ayam, which was super crispy! The service was great too The price is affordable — we had three dishes, a milk tea, and two rice, and it only cost RM51. Highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as the place can get fully booked.
