Dan P.Dan Pyatetsky: Mindblowing. Favorites were Khao soi, fried chicken, shrimp curry, Tom yum soup

SheenSheen: Shrimp egg curry & the pad kee mao was insanely good. Roasted eggplant salad was great but the fried chicken is skippable. The mango sticky rice is limited so make sure to ask your server to reserve 1

DebsDebs: Such delicious flavours. Can’t wait to return and try more dishes. Recommend the Chicken Khao Soi and the roasted eggplant salad
