We didn't book a table so we got seated at the bar, we were very ok with that, but we could see a boiling kettle just in front of us, some dishrags standing there, & the decor was not really nice over there, you didn't feel like you were in a top rated vegan restaurant. The menus they gave us, both were in bad condition, deteriorated, & some prices were put on top of the oldest ones with stickers & pen, with not care regarding the color of the original menu, not giving a good impression. However, the food was great! We didn't have to wait. I ordered the Kari Neua & steamed rice, which were very tasty, & the portions were great. I couldn't order a dessert after that, but will come back soon to try one. Drinks were not great though, just "meh".

J'ai commandé le plat PLA-KHING (poisson végétal à la vapeur avec sauce soja & gingembre), & c'était très délicieux ; j'ai beaucoup apprécié les saveurs fraîches & bien équilibrées. La portion était adéquate, ce que j'ai trouvé excellent. Je suggérerais juste de réduire un peu le gingembre pour qu'il ne domine pas trop les autres saveurs, mais dans l'ensemble, c'était une expérience excellente. De plus, le riz était très bon, & sa présentation dans un petit sac de paille était un détail charmant qui m'a transmis une sensation de fraîcheur & m'a fait penser à la Thaïlande. L'ambiance du restaurant m'a paru très agréable, chaleureuse & tranquille, bien qu'elle ait un aspect un peu "vide". Peut-être qu'il manquait de décoration, surtout avec plus de plantes, ce qui pourrait lui donner une touche plus accueillante. De plus, l'hôte & le serveur étaient très aimables & sympathiques, ce qui a ajouté à l'expérience. J'ai également commandé le cocktail'Thaijito', mais il ne m'a pas vraiment impressionné. Le verre était un peu petit, & je suggérerais de remplacer le citron artificiel par du jus de citron naturel pour rehausser encore plus les saveurs. Merci pour l'expérience !"

Tout était trop bon. C'est la première fois que je mange des fruit de mer vegan, & petard les "crevettes" étaient parfaites. Idem pour l'accompagnement, les cocktails, & etc. Tout était parfaitement dosé, maîtrisé & assaisonné.
