Fujian is the Chinese restaurant of the luxurious Dhara Dhevi resort in Chiang Mai.
The visit
Above you can see the impressive gate leading to the Dhara Dhevi resort, but no, you won’t need to go enter the resort proper to get to the restaurant.
The restaurant is located right on the parking lot in front of the resort, past a bunch of boutiques and souvenir shops. On the left you will find, Le Grand Lanna, that I also reviewed.
A staff member guided to the restaurant.
Inside the dining room looked like the living room of a patrician family. I believe that private rooms are upstairs.
I had a cranberry juice as a drink.
To start, I was offered a fried wonton as an amouse bouche.
I had their seafood sweet and sour soup that was incredibly creamy and came with some nice bites of seafood. An excellent dish.
Then I had their roast duck. Most of their dish came in three sized: small, medium, and large. My dish was a small portion that still could have been shared among two people. The duck came in slices with some pickled ginger. I must say that this duck was juicy and tender, the roasting brought up its flavors and the sauce did not kill them.
Then I had a casserole with brisket (because I love brisket) and this was a let down. The brisket was too fat and just not good and the casserole did not particularly help.
I carefully looked at the dessert list, but I could not find anything that excited me.
I was offered a complimentary sesame ball as a final bite.
The check
After adding taxes, service charge, water, tge check was 1553,64 THB (47 USD) which places Fujian in fine dining territory for Chiang Mai.
There were two excellent dishes and one terrible. So I do not know whether this deserves a recommendation or not. If you are in Chiang Mai for a few days, there is so much better you can get.
