I waited forever in line. The only thing that kept me there was the craving for curry and not having the energy to find somewhere else in the area. We waited so long that we made friends in line. One of our new friends swore by the khao soi, saying that he came back time and time again for that dish. With a recommendation like that, how can you not comply? What a disappointment. It was a gooey yellow mess of drenched noodles in a sweet curry sauce.
Having heard so many rave reviews of this restaurant and having waited an eternity to get a cramped seat at the bar, I expected more. Flying to Thailand to go to the real Khao San Road would have probably taken less time and frazzled nerves.
