This place doesn't understand what a reservation is. I booked for two by phone about five hours ahead of time. When we got there about 5 minutes early we were told our table had been taken as another booking had arrived with additional people. You can sit at the bar, we were told and offered a perfunctory apology. We left... More

I would call this "thai comfort food." Really good quality, simple dishes done with care, nice atmosphere and service. I ordered a chicken dish and a noodle dish and they were both perfect. Along with a couple beers - hit the spot. Sometimes you just get lucky when traveling... More

I was there with my husband in October 2011 (encouraged by TripAdvisor excellent reviews).Unfortunately, iIt was probably the biggest food disappointment during all our 3 weeks stay in Thailand and Malaysia. Yes, the food is high quality and delicious but comparing to other restaurants we've been to - portions are very small and the taste of food was similar to... More

This is very nice restaurant which is located in the hidden area of Sukhumvit 55. My first impression is the environment, it is small but it feel at home. there was no free table for dining so had to get a glass of wine while waiting for the free table. The wine was good. The staffs and the owner are... More

We had dinner here together with a Thai friend who brought us here. We had made reservations in advance, and it helped because the place was packed. I am glad we sat at the top floor, in sptie of a quite noisy group at the next table. Th atmosphere is warm, cozy, albeit small but not stuffy. The food could... More

Really enjoyed this meal. If I had to label it, would say 'sorta fusion Thai-esque' cuisine. Loved the tamarind ribs, loved the chicken wings. Service was good. As visitors, we did find it a little tricky to find (quite a small place, it's on Thong Lo, coming from Sukhumvit it is on the right hand side, not all that far... More

This is a cozy little restaurant with a cool vibe, great food, and strong cocktails to boot. I brought my Thai girlfriend here and she absolutely loved the food - that should tell you something about the authenticity and quality of the dishes. The double pour dirty martinis are the best in Bangkok - two of them will leave you... More

We chose this restaurant based on TripAdvisor reviews and made a booking as recommended. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The food lacked spice to the extent it was verging on bland, and was seriously overpriced for what you got, especially by Bangkok standards. My husband had the ribs and thought they were only ok. We shared an uninteresting papaya salad and... More
