It can seat up to 65 people. Its executive chef Gina Sungkamee has trained at Bangkok’s prestigious culinary school and is inspired by her mother to create classic Thai dishes.
The food was delicious and the service was good. However, the pad Thai didn’t come with any bean sprouts or peanuts and the kung pao chicken was a little bland. The mango with sticky rice was also too salty. If you choose to order from the menu, make sure to ask for utensils.
