  definitely one of my fave go-to places for lunch every year. love the mama noodles 😛 first time trying their green curry with chicken and it’s pretty good too. a little on the spicy side so if you don’t take spicy food well, do remember to request for less spicy. food was served rather quickly as well. not a big fan of the honey lemon drink. too sour for my liking. can’t taste the honey. price point seems a little pricey for 2. given that we only ordered 1 (or is it considered 2?) main dish with 2 drinks.

  They serve just about everything you can think of! The food is authentic Thai yet still foreigner-friendly. You’ll catch the aroma of fermented fish as soon as you walk in (tip: ask for a seat on the 2nd floor if you’d rather avoid it). As a Thai, I find the Som Tum and Yum could pack more punch, but if you’re a foreigner wanting to experience Isaan food, this place is a perfect choice.

  Overall, we were very satisfied. There are deviations from the menu and the actual preparation. For example, the shrimp were pre-cooked in boiling "water" and then briefly placed on the grill. They are not grilled shrimp. They are simply boiled shrimp that are briefly placed on the grill. Also, the cutlery is really very cheap, which is a "shame." Chopsticks were not offered and were not available at the table... The chicken breast on the menu was actually a chicken leg that was served. In terms of taste, everything was fine, even if it was missing that final touch. Overall, the served temperatures of the dishes were luke warm. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated. It's very small but absolutely lovely and adequate. The service was friendly and courteous. We had a table reservation, so I had no problems getting a table.

  I eat here once or twice a week every time I'm in Bangkok (fourth-year visit). I'm not sure how many dishes we have tasted (photos are just of the last two visits), but they are always well prepared and presented, and there are also always a pleasant surprise, taste wise. They offer an extensive menu, and never fail, which is hard to do. All the staff is very welcoming and friendly, although we don't speak Thai. Prices are honest, and the ratio quality/price is excellent. Can you ask for something else? They also prepare a delicious homemade chilli sauce, which this year I will definitely bring back to Barcelona with me. Update 2026, it continues to be as good as always!!!!

  Came in for lunch and I am happy I did! I had their pad graprao gai and it was amazing! 10/10. Luckily I live nearby so I will be coming frequently. This is a new hidden gem for me.
