To say that I have strong feelings for this place is an understatement. I frequent Khao San Road more often than I visit my parents. I've eaten here 5 times in the past 3 months, and no, this joint is not in my neighbourhood.
My go-to dishes are the red chicken curry and the chicken Bangkok pad Thai. The curry is rich and deep in flavour, it's truly a comfort food. I do feel that there is too much liquid compared to the chicken and veggies in the curry, however I could eat that stuff with a ladle.
The pad Thai is the best I've ever had. It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy and spicy. The portion is also very generous. I would like to have someone challenge this pad Thai, I think it would be very hard to beat.
