Ordering Strategy

Focus on the Southern Thai specialities rather than standard staples. Dishes are notably spicy (watch the menu's dot system). Order family-style to share.

What to order

Safe first

Yum Hoa Plee

A 'well-dressed, piquant salad' of banana flowers and prawns that 'tap dances out into the limelight,' served elegantly in the 'canoe embrace of a purple and white petal.'

Hungry

Dad's Beef Curry

A 'thrillingly intense' southern Thai stew featuring long-braised meat in a thick coconut sauce; it is praised for its 'sweet caramel tones' and a depth of roasted spice that 'both soothes and playfully slaps.'

Wildcard

Peek Gai Yud Sai

Battered, 'seriously chunky' boneless chicken wings stuffed with a 'briskly spiced' forcemeat of prawns, mushrooms, and glass noodles; described as a 'complete revelation.'

Wildcard

Laab Aubergine

A 'huge multilayered extravaganza of texture' where the aubergine is roasted until creamy and piled with mint, crunchy rice, and dried chillies in a tamarind and palm sugar sauce.

What to skip

Skip
Pad Thai— Multiple critics suggest skipping this 'familiar' dish in favor of regional specialties, noting it can be 'too expensive' and the 'least exciting aspect' of the menu.

Good to know

The restaurant expands into the florist next door in the evenings. It can get quite noisy. Booking is recommended for dinner.
