Really good Thai food. We ordered a Pad Thai and oyster omelette. Pad Thai is above average. The oyster omelette has a great texture. It is one of the best two I have ever eaten. The serving is huge though. I ate half before giving up. Best to share this dish when ordering it.
If you are worried about parking, don't. There is free parking in a multi-storey car park nearby. Just drive up to the entrance and let the staff point you the way to the car park.

Affordable Thai food close to ekkamai Road. The restaurant was quite busy and seems to be a favorite among Japanese and Koreans as they constituted all customers. The restaurant focuses on Issan fare, but offers also many other dishes. Pad Si Eew was as good as it gets. The Som Tam with pork was not bad, but was too heavy on the lime and was lacking dried shrimps and peanuts. Maybe they adjusted the taste to their customers tastes. The deep fried sea bass with sweet and sour topping was great again, just the sauce consisted too much ketchup. As drinks we chose watermelon shake and pineapple shake. They were not bad, but the pineapple shake barely tasted like pineapple. Service was very attentive. From my seat I had a view of the kitchen and was very surprised how clean it was. Spotless! Maybe they could work on their menu translations a bit. Next time we try the famous chicken.

Great Thai food, prompt service.

We ordered the smoked pork neck, half a grilled chicken, water spinach with chilli and garlic, and salt grilled Tilapia, a side of sticky rice, and three large bottles of Leo. Best smoked pork we’ve had - very moist. The chicken has minimal sweet glaze on top (didn’t even notice it), and the grilled fish meaty and moist. The sauces they brought with the dishes were flavourful, one of them with chilli flakes really grew in heat as you ate more.

They have air conditioned spaces (which we should have sat in considering that it was mid day).

The whole bill came up to THB1040 which could easily feed three persons. Will gladly return on our next trip back to Bangkok!

It’s almost become a ritual for me to eat here upon returning to Thailand. So many memories. So many people. Increasingly so many years.

I miss their old location but am happy they are thriving here, on this corner off Ekamai Soi 3, facing a ritzy-enough condo.

There’s a oddly perennial stream of people being dropped off in vans — well-heeled Thais slumming it, Japanese businessman taking incessant smoke breaks between bites and drinks, and old white guys treating young, Issan dates (along with extended family). So really, this unpretentious place draws quite the mix.

The place is famous for their chicken, which I like, but I tend to stick to the northeastern fare. We’ll, I once did.

I’ve developed an addiction to the garlic-fried tilapia (clearly demonstrated by the fact I have no photos of other offerings!), but everything from their sun-dried beef to spicy Thai grilled pork salad (nam tok moo) are lovely.

They also serve one of my absolute favorite Thai dishes that gets less rotations on standard menus — Wing Bean Salad (Yum Tuapu). It’s delicious. Try it.

This is honesty a perfect place to take a friend, eat some great food, and experience friendly, excellent service.

So please, enjoy!

An unpretentious Thai restaurant serving authentic Thai dishes at reasonable prices. All the dishes were flavorful especially the roasted chicken and the deep fried pork in lemongrass.

Amazing tasty chicken! We ordered half grill chicken, chicken wings, rice and french fries. The grill half chicken was perfect and no dry, and the chicken wings where crunchy and also no dry inside! the french fries were crunchy and not oily. For desert I order a coconut smoothie and they made it with natural coconut, it was really tasty! We will come back here for sure. (Also is not expensive, we paid 435THB)

I think it's famous for Gai Yang but we ordered pork collar instead. It was a rainy day so not much crowd here. Sea bass is fresh with a lot of meat.
