"Like others, this was one of the best places we ate on our entire trip to Thailand, I only wish I had another day to try more.
We had soft shell crab with papaya salad, pork satay, and tom yum seafood. It was all totally delicious."

"The food was very delicious and clean. Prices might be a bit high, but considering the ingredients and quality, it's definitely worth it. I highly recommend the crispy pork – it's truly delicious and crispy. The entrance to the alley might be a little narrow, but the restaurant has ample parking."
