| - i've tried pai, sabai sabai, and quite a few other thai places in the city and khao san road was always my favourite so i was looking forward to nana but unfortunately, i was extremely disappointed. i keep reading these fantastic reviews on yelp so my heart sank.
ordered three...wait, wait....two things - third dish was "sold out".
for a friday night before the long weekend, it was steady but we still had to wait 20 minutes and then another 10 minutes because of their "mix-up"
1. khao soi with chicken was DELICIOUS.
2. king oyster mushroom laab, wouldn't know. it was served to the couple sitting next to us. hell, i don't even think they knew what it was because it was just unceremoniously plopped down in front of them.
which leads me to the service...more or less non-existent. they seemed more interested in hanging out around the bar. i get it, i've been there as both a bartender/server; it's 9:30ish, the restaurant closes at 11. you have already mentally checked out and kind of just want to fuck off/start thinking about what to do after you get off work. but c'mon, NOT when you still have customers to serve. shit, even salad king has better service than the collective present tonight at nana.
2 stars from me for the khao soi, 0 from the girlfriend who was hangrier when we left than we walked in since she never got the food she ordered. aside from the khao soi, they played some good hip-hop.
