I went in Oct 2014 for an early dinner with a girl friend around 5:15 pm on a Saturday night. She had been raving about this place & this was my first time going.
We were seated immediately and given a choice between an area tucked away or the main room. We chose the main room.
We started with their specialty/signature cocktails which were pricey ($11-14) but delicious.
I deviated from my friends suggestion for my main. I was in an adventurous mood and I ordered the Pad Gra Prow with extra crispy pork on top of the ground pork on a bed of rice with a Thai style egg cooked on top ($16$. I went for Fareng Spicy which had a little bit of a kick but didn't require I drink a lot of water to cool my tongue. Overall, the dish was average. I wouldn't order it again. The portion size was really good however and I was pleasantly full after eating all of it.
We also ordered the starter of fried squash fritters called Gabong ($10) which my friend also recommended. They were good although I was expecting something different. I also can only handle a little bit of fried food so my friend took the leftovers home to her husband. The tamarind dipping sauce was disappointing and boring.
The waitress wasn't very friendly even though the dinner rush hadn't started yet. She didn't give us much time to look at the menu to order drinks.
The ambience was chill and cool. I liked the dim lighting.
I plan to go back for dinner tonight and stick with something safe like pad Thai which I hear they do well :) it's a good location and I'm hoping the service will be fast again as I'm seeing a play at The Royal Alexandra Theatre @ 730 pm.
