| - Acceptable, but definitely not the best. Colourful, community-life atmosphere. But, it's definitely a squeeze. Tables are very close together - if you come here in the winter, you may actually struggle trying to hang your jacket up on the hooks behind you (for fear of hitting the head of the person beside you with your heavy winter coat!). We also thought cleanliness was an issue here - cutlery needed to be wiped down a few times, as did the table. The atmosphere tries to be cute and chic, but there's still a hint of street and industrial (don't know if that was intentional or not).
My other half and I are big fans of Khao San Road, so we were hopeful that this place would meet its standards, but it doesn't (far from, in fact). Portions are a tad smaller, and the food just isn't as special or tasty. We ordered the fried chicken and chicken pad thai - it was alright. The fried chicken had good hints of earthiness that was nice and unique, but it was a little too chewy for my liking (more dark meat than white meat). The pad thai was okay - but it didn't taste authentic or as flavourful as I'd like.
I'm sure you can find better Thai restaurants in the city with tastier dishes than the ones you can find here. Overall, acceptable, but nothing more than that.
