A modern take on Thai cuisine with contemporary dishes inspired with Thai flavors. The service, atmosphere, and presentation of each dish was exceptional. You can tell they are curating an experience here. We didn’t need a reservation at all for 3 on a Monday night. The dish I remember the most wasn’t actually a dish at all, but their signature cocktail, served in a basket atop a pedestal, using local Thai rum and juices to make a delicious medley of tropical flavor with a nice kick. This stuck with me the most a week after my visit. The rest of the dishes flavor wise ranged from very good to just ok. The desert was a bit confused, and I just wish there was more overt traditional Thai brought into the dishes. Dining on stuffed chicken, steak, and sashimi wasn’t really my idea of Thai food, but I get that this is meant to be influenced by local spices and flavors, not necessarily a replication of local dishes. I think while I appreciate the experience, I wouldn’t really recommend this to others who are traveling from abroad. For a local’s date night out, I think it could be worth a try. If nothing else, for the cocktails :)
It was for me a well-balanced Michelin-star experience without the intimidating price tag. Every dish feels thoughtful and refined without trying too hard Flavours are elegant, comforting, and easy to enjoy. Atmosphere are cozy with attentive service. Overall good food, good service, and definitely worth it.
Beautiful spot with fresh floral and art vibes. Very friendly and attentive service. They have two tasting menus, one is more spicy than the other. We like the heat, but we opted for the less spicy of the two based on the recommendation of our server and I’m glad we did. The spiciest of our dishes had my lips burning for a few minutes, so I’m sure the other menu would have been a bit much for us. That being said the heat was very well balanced with the flavors imo. The river prawn with curry was exceptional, my favorite, but the steak was a close second. Would definitely recommend visiting for elevated Thai cuisine.
A great Michelin level lunch time experience near Sathorn! Service was impeccable from start to finish, food was tasty (great thai fusion) and well presented, as you had at least 4 options to choose from the mains (not to mention that they over delivered with some extra dishes not listed in the set lunch menu). As somebody has said and I can attest it too, is one of the few Michelin rated restaurants that you leave quite full! Highly recommended for anybody wanting to try the local cuisine with a modern luxury flair!
This is the only fine-dining/Michelin-starred restaurant I’ve been to that actually left me extremely full. We came to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday lunch and received genuinely excellent hospitality throughout the meal. The staff went out of their way to make sure she was well taken care of, which made the experience feel thoughtful and personal. The food is Thai fusion, and you can clearly taste influences from different regions of Thailand. One standout for me was the white rice- arguably the best I’ve ever had. It becomes softer and more delicate with each bite. The traditional sweet-and-sour crispy noodle with river prawn and accompanying condiments was also quite unique and well executed. We pre-booked the Hungry Hub sharing set for two at 3,790 THB, which felt like strong value for both the quantity and quality of food. They also offer a set lunch at 950 THB, which is another approachable way to experience the restaurant. Before visiting, I had read negative reviews criticizing the food for not being “Michelin star-level.” After eating here myself, I think the issue comes down to expectations. At this price point when comparable Michelin meals often run 6,000+ THB per person, there simply isn’t a Michelin-star experience that matches those standards. If you adjust expectations accordingly, you’ll find yourself having a very enjoyable and satisfying meal, particularly for the value. Overall, the combination of thoughtful service, generous portions, and well-executed Thai flavors makes this a place I’d happily return to. Special thanks to our server, Jittawan, for making the lunch one that was memorable.
