What hasn't already been said about this place? This is the best Thai food I have ever had, and probably the best in the city.
The food is flavorful, fresh, and the spice level is customizable. The menu is not huge and that's a good thing. The focus is on doing it right.
First time I went I had the Khao Soi on the advice of a friend. Amazing! A simple noodle and meat dish (beef or you can ask for chicken) but with an amazing curry base creamy soup that is to die for. To top it off you get crispy noodles on top that soften just a little when they soak in the broth. I want to drive down to the city right now for more.
On our latest trip we started with the cold rolls. Outstanding and made with home made chicken sausage inside and a spicy-tangy tamarind chili sauce for dipping. I had the three-flavour Pad Thai for my entree and it satisfied that noodle craving. So well balanced and authentic tamarind pad thai flavour. Did I mention the fresh roasted peanuts on top? So perfect. Being the gentleman that I am, I passed the Khao Soi tip on to my wife, who was experiencing Khao San Road for the first time. Needless to say she was not disappoint!
Do yourself a favour and get down to Khao San Road soon. I'll see you there.
