Amazing experience. Thanks Bond for making it so special and for guiding us through this incredible meal. We celebrated a birthday and our honeymoon and we would repeat a thousand times. Extremely thankful
I came here by myself and it was so sweet and wonderful. The staff was so tentative and my courses were paced by my own eating pace. The food was amazing and very worth it if you like trying new foods. It was my first time ever trying multi-course meal so it was great! My favorite was the charcoal-fragrant citrus.
I was there for the second time and loved it just like the first time. The vegetarian Kao Soi is one of the best things I ate in Bangkok and the Chocolate-Avocado ice cream is the best ice cream I have had in my life! I’ll definitely come back again!
I booked a table here for lunch at 1pm and it was pretty quiet (they welcome walk ins at lunch) but it got busier. Such a pretty venue - I especially appreciated the cool air conditioned restaurant on such a hot day. I dined alone and the staff were so welcoming, kind and helpful. I ordered the chiang rai tulip chicken and the pork khao soi and they were both INCREDIBLE. They’re dishes I hadn’t previously eaten but that khao soi was so so good, I keep thinking about it. I also ordered a mocktail which was super refreshing. A really fair price for the quality and I’d totally recommend.
This place was so good we went back for a second time! The food was fantastic and the service was great. Very beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. We had the vegetable blossom salad both times. Highly recommend. Basil fried rice and the omelet with beef was amazing. They have a great khao soi menu, on the second day we shared the khao soi with crab.
