A high-octane Northern Thai noodle bar serving upmarket khao soi to a soundtrack of Thai rap and hip-hop.
Ordering Strategy
Start with the Moo Ping and Larb Dib to share, but ensure everyone gets their own bowl of Khao Soi with the braised beef shank option. Don't skip the condiments provided on the side.
What to order
Moo Ping
These grilled pork belly skewers are served with an egg for dipping and benefit from a genuine charcoal grill; critics say the dish is 'just as good as it sounds.'
Khao-So-I (Braised Beef Shank)
The namesake dish features a broth 'heavy with coconut milk' and 'fresh-tasting noodles'; the braised shank version is specifically praised for its 'sweet and almost jammy stickiness.'
Cha Thai Cheesecake
A Basque-style cheesecake infused with a 'subtle tea flavouring' that elevates the dessert into something 'incredibly decadent' that critics insist you leave room for.
Gai Yang Pong Yi Ra
A barbecued chicken thigh with cumin and oyster sauce that 'manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts' thanks to the kitchen's expert use of charcoal.

Good to know
It is loud and fast-paced; music is a mix of Thai rap and 2000s R&B. Walk-ins are welcome, but bookings are safer given the hype. Not a place for a long, lingering dinner.
