One of, if not the best, non-mainstream Thai food I had outside Thai. the curry pork salad was delicious. the pork substitute ribs in chili sauce put my tonge o...

Great place to try out genuine and hard to find Thai dishes! Most of their dishes are quite spicy, for a non spicy dish I’d recommend Thong Pad Kai.

It's somewhere to bring your worst friends to suffer. Food is amazing if you love spicy. Too bad lunch is not available.

Truly special food feels like I was plopped down in the middle of Bangkok and given the royal treatment. Original and authentic all at once. Feels like a find.
