I frankly feel this restaurant is overrated. The food quality is definitely good each time I ate here but the service and the long wait doesn't make it worth the time for me. For lunch, it is so difficult to place a take out order. They seldom answer their phone and I am pretty sure they are losing business due to this (it's probably their way of throttling volume which is a good problem to have from their perspective). I usually get the chef's special pad thai but of late I don't find it anything special. I did the combo upgrade with soup and spring rolls and that makes for a good hearty lunch. I think Sabai Sabai serves equally good food minus the long wait which makes it more appealing to me. Unfortunately, my office location has moved closer to Khao San hence my frustration with their lunch ordering process. Be sure to get in by 11:30 (right when they open), otherwise expect a long wait.
