CHIIK Steak & Pasta Thảo Điền

Ambiance & Wait Time: This popular, celebrity-frequented spot doesn't take weekend reservations, so expect a 30-40 minute wait (there's comfortable outdoor seating!). It's small, with tables close together, making it a bit noisy. However, the decor is fantastic—every table is beautifully set up for a date with flowers and cute touches. Food & Value: The menu is limited, focusing mainly on pasta and steak sets. We shared the cream pasta with hamburger patties, which was a large portion for two. The food quality is acceptable and very cheap for a Western restaurant, offering great value. The biggest highlight? The food decorations are creative and stunning! Verdict: Great value and atmosphere for a casual date, but the food is decent, not dazzling. Worth the wait for the price and presentation!

My friend and I came here after being drawn in by what appeared to be a warm, welcoming atmosphere. News flash, appearances are deceiving. The service was impressively bad. We ordered a medium rare steak (500k by the way), which arrived essentially still auditioning to return to the farm. Yes, that might have been our fault, however, medium rare universally implies some pink, but this was unapologetically raw. When we asked for it to be recooked, the waiter took it back and, in what must have been a symbolic trip to the kitchen, returned about five minutes later with the exact same steak—still raw. No apology, no concern, no attempt to fix the situation. Just a quiet confidence that we’d accept it this time. Quite frankly, the rest of the food was subpar anyway. The pasta tasted like ketchup and the fries were halfway decent. A cozy atmosphere can only carry a place so far. When the food is careless and the service seems indifferent, the charm wears off very quickly.

This restaurant was viral on TikTok so I wanted to try it out. Me and my boyfriend try the bbq chicken rose cream pasta. The pasta is good, but a little pricey in my opinion. Since it’s a more fancier restaurant, I expected a little more from it. I paid double for a water bottle here so I was expecting my water to be alkaline water. They gave me Dasani which you can get anywhere for a lower price. Overall, I would come back for sure!

The pasta was excellent, with perfectly cooked beef, and the sauce exceeded our expectations — slightly spicy, creamy, and full of flavor. The Cobb salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall, the meal was great. The chili cheese fries were a bit too salty for my liking, though the fries themselves were cooked quite perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy—not too spacious, but quiet and comfortable enough. Overall: 8.5/10

If you’re craving pasta in Thảo Điền, this was really good! The beef was surprisingly tender, but the portion was a bit big so I definitely recommend sharing with a friend. I also got the chili cheese fries as a side and that was equally good!

Absolutely delicious. We got the recommended steak & pasta dish off the menu. Steak was tender & the garlic confit made the taste soo much better The pasta was delicious. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich

another steak pasta spot, and I have to say pasta pairs really well with the steak. Great balance of flavors, and everything was cooked just right. The atmosphere overall is okay nothing too special, but comfortable enough. However, there was one small downside: the upstairs area gets pretty noisy. The sound really echoes when utensils clink against plates or each other, probably because the space doesn’t absorb sound well. It can get a bit distracting if you're looking for a quiet meal. Still, the food makes it worth a visit!

We had a fantastic lunch here as a group of 4 adults and 1 toddler! The steak was tender and came with a fresh, crisp salad. The seafood pasta in creamy sauce was exceptional — rich and flavorful. We also ordered the fried rice with prawns and egg, which was a huge portion and great for sharing. Drinks were refreshing: the watermelon juice and lemonade were both delicious. Prices start at around 180K per plate and are totally worth it. And yes — even our toddler gave the steak a big thumbs up! 👶🥩 Definitely coming back!
