Got a table right away but the place was completely full by noon. Not hard to see why Khoa San Road is so popular - the food is delicious. \n\nJust one question - where the heck is the sign? I walked past it a few times expecting to see a sign with \"Khao San Road\". \n\nI really like the layout. They have everything from tables of two, bar seating, communal tables and a patio in front. The front windows all open up so the restaurant has a real open feel and you get fresh air.\n\nStaff was incredibly friendly and the service fast and efficient. Water and drinks came immediately and refilled quickly. Food was also prepared quickly and fresh. \n\nWe started with the Po Pia Pak Sod Gai Yaw or \"fresh rolls\" - nice light starter packed with flavour. Like a spring roll (not fried though) with chicken sausage, carrots, mint leaves and basil. Great Tamarind garlic dipping sauce. Best spring roll in my opinion.\n\nWe shared two main dishes: \n\nPad Thai street style at $14 - Everyone knows what this dish is so I will just say it was fantastic - maybe the best I ever tried. We picked the medium spice level but would probably go with spicy next time. \n\nPad Kee Mao at $14 - the real winner for me and my fav. dish of the meal. The base is stir fried rice noodle like the Pad Thai but you get a nice kick from the green chilli's and garlic. Also served with bamboo shoots and egg. Love it!\n\nWhat a great experience. Another trifecta - great food, fantastic service and cool atmosphere - what more could you ask for? \n\nI'm already planning my return visit...\n\nBK"^^ .
