Great spot for real old school Thai flavors in a warm and cosy setting. Service is friendly, attentive, and very quick. The food is very delicious. The ingredients taste very fresh and you can really tell they put care into sourcing ingredients and preparing dishes. Besides the great local beers, they also have a good selection of wine that pairs really well with the food. Recommended Dishes: Shrimp Cake, Roasted Duck in Red Curry, Fried Dumpling Skin Pad Thai, Fried Seabass topped with Salad Dressing.

We are visiting from the U.S.. This is our 3rd dining in this place and we are coming back over and over again! They have English menu. Owner Auau is the sweetest lady and the staffs are all very friendly. Great location as it’s only mins of walk from Nana station. Nice ambiance and cleanness in the restaurant as well as the restrooms. Then to the food; we ordered shrimp cake, stir fry greens, crispy pork belly, and fried fish with lemon grass, mango and cashew sauce glazed on top. You can taste real shrimp in the shrimp cake. The cashew sauce is scrumptious and the fish is cleaned well and fresh. Crispy pork belly is my husband’s favorite, the crispy skin with pork fat go amazingly well, and it does not taste too oily.

Beer is cheap and good! The food is amazing. I do feel that they cook to the tourists standard. A little sweet and less flavor than what I would expect for authentic Thai food. Add a little spice and it’s all nice tho :) Would go again

This restaurant offers truly authentic Thai food that is absolutely delicious. The flavor is fantastic, and the ingredients are superb—everything is prepared incredibly fresh and clean!! A real highlight is that they use freshly pounded curry pastes (เครื่องแกงตำใหม่), which makes the taste exceptionally rich and authentic. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the staff is attentive and caring. They also offer a great selection of beers. And, whatever you do, don't forget to try the cocktails! They are excellent.

A real hidden gem in the Nana area. Restaurant is a bit hidden, have to go through a parking lot and an alley to get there. The area is clean and well maintained. The restaurant has some potted plants outside to give it that extra cosy feeling. This trend continues inside as well. Inside is clean and nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly as well. We were even offered umbrella’s when we left because it was pouring . Thanks Au! They offer some Thai craft beers on top of the other beers and soda usually available. The food is mostly Thai and definitely a big upgrade from the street food widely offered in the area. We even came back for dinner after we had a lunch here. If you’re looking for a more refined dining experience offering Thai food in the area, this is the place you’re looking for. A true hidden gem!

One of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had! The lemongrass flavor is so fragrant and everything is so fresh! It’s a must try. I had the Seabass and husband had the duck which was tender and delicious. We don’t eat a lot of spicy food so was very grateful that they could modify for us. Also Patti, our server was so warm and friendly. Highly recommend for a guaranteed good wholesome meal. Oh and the mango sticky rice!!!! Unreal!

Hidden gem in Sukhumvit. Located within the vicinity of Maison hotel (great hotel by the way). Service was excellent. Food was very tasty and authentic. Shrimp cake is a must try. Tom yam was creamy and aromatic. There's a decent selection of local craft beers too. Definitely worth trying if you're around the area.
