A highly reliable, upscale Thai staple offering generously portioned, comforting classics in sleek, group-friendly dining rooms.
Ordering Strategy
Come with a group so you can share large, dramatic centrepieces like the whole sea bass or the hefty lamb massaman, alongside a mixed starter platter.
What to order
Lamb Shank Massaman
The undisputed star of the menu; a hefty, tender leg of braised lamb in a deeply fragrant, rich coconut curry.
Signature Whole Sea Bass
A towering, dramatic pile of battered fish smothered in a luminous sweet chilli sauce that demands a big appetite.
Chor Muang
Eye-catching purple, flower-shaped dumplings filled with a highly addictive sweet and savoury caramelised chicken.
Tuna Carpaccio
Described as 'perfection' by critics, these wafer-thin slices are topped with lemongrass and fresh mint for a dish that 'practically melts in the mouth.'
