Customer Reviews
In the heart of the village market, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The balcony area was simply perfect for a sunny day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful weather. The starters were delightful; the kimchi had a unique sweetness that paired wonderfully with the vegetarian dumplings. It was my first time experiencing sweet kimchi, and I found it quite enjoyable! We also tried three side dips along with the satay prawns, which were a lovely touch. For our main courses, I ordered the pad Thai and the devil rice with assorted meats and prawns. Unfortunately, my daughter, who has an egg allergy, wasn’t able to enjoy her main dish as it contained eggs. We had mentioned her allergy when ordering, so it was quite unfortunate that the meals came with eggs. We had to return the food twice, and it seemed like the chef might not have been familiar with accommodating such dietary restrictions. However, I want to commend the staff for their understanding and kindness throughout the situation; they were genuinely apologetic and promised to be more attentive to customer needs in the future. Despite this hiccup, my heart tells me I would visit again, hoping for a better experience next time. Thank you for your efforts, and I appreciate your dedication to improvement!
The portion size of the food is substantial. I had been craving Kra-Pao for an entire week, so I was somehow disappointed with the taste. However, overall, the experience was satisfactory, and the staff were courteous.
Cephas was really kind and attended to all of our needs. He was polite on approach and served us with a lovely smile . I would definitely recommend this place !
Amazing service, lovely food. One of the best restaurants in Village Market. Cephas are as our waiter and provided excellent service throughout the night. Will definitely revisit in future
