The House on Sathorn

The building itself is beautiful, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. Both the service and the food fell well below expectations, especially given the prices, particularly when compared to other restaurants we visited in Bangkok. Communication was also an issue, as most of the staff did not speak English. We ordered the soft-shell crab, seafood Tom Ka soup, and tiger prawns. The seafood in the soup did not taste fresh, and the tiger prawns were dry and lacked flavor. In addition, the air conditioning was set far too cold, making the indoor seating uncomfortable. We also had to walk up to the host to request the bill, as the waiting staff were not attentive. We were seated indoors, which had little atmosphere compared to the outdoor area that seemed much more lively. Overall, this experience was far from what one would expect from a restaurant of this level, especially given its location next to the W Hotel.

The papaya salad (entree) was nice and crunchy, except I wasn’t expecting the squid to be on a skewer and it wasn’t freshly grilled. For main I had the crab fried rice. The rice was a little bland but it was accompanied by a side of chilli fish sauce for the extra flavour. The mango sticky rice had a strange taste. The mango wasn’t sweet and actually had a weird taste to it. The sticky rice was fine, but it’s not the same if you can’t enjoy the mango too. Overall I thought the food here was below average (with an above average price).
