| - I came here a couple days ago with two others. It was 6pm on Thursday and we didn't have to wait for a table (yay!). To share, we had the 'grabong' (deep fried squash fritters), and the 'khao pla tawt' (crispy basa fillets), both of which we loved. They had the perfect amount of crisp and weren't greasy at all. The 'khao soi' with braised beef was also really good. The curry sauce was very flavourful and we loved the texture of the fresh egg noodles.
The papaya salad, however, was a disappointment. It was served deconstructive, as in the different components and ingredients were separated on one dish, and it made it difficult to eat and share with others. Also, the taste just wasn't right - everything was really raw and left an unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Maybe it was just me. I thought the other dishes and drinks made up for the salad though. The mango shake and cocktail with cucumber and gin stood out and complimented the heavy food well.
Besides being a busy place, the music really adds to the noise in the restaurant, making it really loud. Even though we were a small group of three it was hard to carry on a good conversation. Nevertheless, I'd still come back to try the other dishes.
