The setting of this restaurant seems to be geared towards industrial chic with Thai influences. There are lots of loud and colourful drawings plastered over the walls and pillars. Yet at certain spots, there are cute little artificial potted florals placed on the wooden shelves. This mix is pretty eccentric, I do not know what to make out of this. Modern Thai Cuisine with a twist, maybe?
As for the food, while it is not at the level of Mai Thai and Nahkon, it is better than that of quite a number of Thai chain restaurants—make a guess on which ones, clue: they are well-established, but I did not bother to write about them. The clear Tom Yum soup, which is filled with robust, simulating flavours of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and galangal, has the right balance of saltiness and tangy flavours. And additional point added for the fresh seafood. The only thing that puts this soup below the soups I have in Mai Thai and Nahkon is that one extra element in taste or aroma is missing, but I cannot put my finger exactly on what is it.
Green curry is fine since it is not too hot and has generous chucks of fresh chicken. Mixed vegetables is almost on par with the ones in my favourite Thai restaurants, but certain vegetable in this dish is too bitter.
The dessert of Coconut Ice-cream with Red Ruby is the winner here since I love the creamy, nutty flavour of coconut and the refreshing crunchiness of red ruby—tapioca-flour-covered water chestnut.
Service is okay, with one of the staffs being eager and energetic. So it is all good.
I don't mind going to this restaurant since the food is decent, plus the convenience of getting there.
