I went to this place a few weeks back at a friend's behest. The food was good, and we ordered a whole bunch of both food and drink items. The owner was very friendly and kept bringing us free stuff. However I was somewhat underwhelmed by the way food tasted, perhaps because my expectations were too high. I had heard so many good things about the place that I had set the bar too high I think. I still think Khao San Road is much mich better in terms of quality (not so much service)
