The bar is closed on Tuesday and open from 12:00 to 21:00 on other days. The khao soi arrives very hot and can splatter, so one guest suggests using a napkin as an apron. Some guests find the prices a little high.

Another review for my Khao Soi Quest. Some advice before I describe the experience. Open up a napkin and use it as an apron, especially if you're wearing white. The khao soi is served bubbling hot in a thick stone bowl with some violent splattering when it first arrives. Second, because it's served in a hot thick stone bowl, it will remain piping hot for far longer than you can wait to eat it. Unless you want to scald your mouth with each mouthful, ask for a separate plastic bowl so that you can cool down smaller portions faster. This khao soi broth is thick and complex and almost gravy like. It's very spicy on its own, so no need to add more chili unless like me you like food super spicy. The pork comes in a mix of slices and chunks and they definitely don't stinge on ingredients. Unusually, there's some crinkle cut bamboo shoots that gives additional crunch over the large serving of crispy and cooked egg noodles. As you would expect of food coming from a celebrity chef, pricing is on the high side. However, in its defense , the portions were gigantic (it'll easily feed two hungry Asian mouths) and like I said, they were very generous with quality ingredients. Furthermore, you could smell and taste all the aromatics and spices that are layered into the dish. Worth it? Definitely, especially if you're sharing. A solid 4.5 for this khao soi !

Excellent Pad Thai, worth the extra cost. Still good value. Lovely bar tender, curious and friendly. Kept me company while I waited for the rain to stop.

I ordered chicken pad thai and fried tofu, tasted great and the pad thai noodles was chewy and I liked it this way. The food is a bit high for me but overall I loved the place! Wish that it would be bigger abd have more comfortable chairs than just stools.
