The restaurant opens at 06:30 and closes at 20:30 every day. One reviewer arrived at 8:00 and found the congee almost sold out, so go early for breakfast. Some staff are said to speak a little Mandarin.

    A restaurant you absolutely must try if you happen to pass by the Grand Palace and Wat Pho area in Bangkok Thailand. Absolutely delicious.

    Super vibe place. Food is good, and a wide variety of selection. We came at 8am for breakfast before visiting the temples near by. Younger shop lady could speak Mandarin decent enough to help communicate

    After or before your temple tour try here their Pad Thai a perfect balanced sweet, salty, and tangy flavors and the Tom Yum, creamy broth with bold spices and fresh herbs.👌
