My friends were exited to try this restaurant. I was a little bit more skeptical bc I grew up in Thailand and know the authentic flavors. The Michelin Star gave me hope and I was very optimistic to give it a try. We ordered:
Satay Kai (chicken satay)
Tod Man Pla (fish cake)
Som Tam (papaya salad)
Yam Won Sen (spicy glass noodle salad)
Kaew Tiew Moo (clear broth with noodles and pork balls)
Keanu Kaew Wan (green curry)
The first 4 dishes were a hit. Very flavorful but very mild in spice level. In all fairness, I didn't ask for more spice. My friends are not used to Thai spice level and it was perfect for them.
The Kaew Tiew was a no go for me. This is a street food stable and childhood favorite. When a restaurant puts it on the menu, the expectation is to nail it 100%. I left it almost untouched.
The green curry was a let down as well. Green curry should be.. well, green. It was not and the flavor was just off. It doesn’t look like or taste anything resembling a green curry.
However, the ambiance and service was great, and the waiter very attentive. We provided the same feedback and the restaurant took the soup off our bill unasked. I would say this restaurant is a good alternative. Giving the benefit of the doubt, maybe the chef just had an off day. I’ll give it another try as the appetizers were delightful and delicious.
