| - I've been waiting for the moment to try Khao San Road for forever. This was my first time as I've never had the patience to wait for more than 10 minutes at their old location. This time, we got seated right away when we came at dinner time on a weekday.
First things first, the restaurant exuded great vibes - the crowd was vibrant and the music was blaring. Unfortunately, the bar table space where they seated us, and the majority of customers, was extremely cramped. We were elbow to elbow with the parties on either side, it was hard to maneuver when eating, and overall not a good dining experience, especially if you are trying to have a conversation.
I was not disappointed in the food though. The Papaya Salad was refreshing; the Pad Thai, which I was perfectly chewy, tangy and spicy. My friend ordered the Khao Soi and although she felt it was quite heavy, I thought it packed a punch. Servings are generous and we left completely stuffed.
All in all, the food outweighs the seating situation, so I'll definitely be coming back.
