| - I'm very, very surprised by all the praise this place gets.. particularly when it is located in close proximity to Khao San Road, which is better in just about every regard.
Entirely mediocre in all ways. Pad Thai was decent, still much better than something like Thai Express, but had no delicateness to it.. noodles clumped together and were overly firm/oily. Red curry was sickly sweet and honestly on the verge of being unappetizing.
Also, something I haven't seen really mentioned here in the reviews, and I think is very important... is that you cannot edit the spice level of any of the dishes except the Pad Thai. Yes, they'll give you a side of chili oil.. but that doesn't match a place that will tailor your order in the kitchen to the spiciness you want. This is most evident with their Massaman, which has tons of potential, but is just way too sweet served as is (not 'authentic' at all, even though I keep hearing that adjective get peppered around on here). Even the Pad Thai, which I got extra spicy.. you could tell the actual core of the flavours of the dish were mild, then they just throw in more chilis...
tl;dr -- go to Khao San Road instead.. definitely a better Thai food experience, especially if you have a penchant for heat.
