We went for dinner at around 7pm and booked on the day. The green decor was calming and the restaurant has two levels. We were seated on the entry level and requested a padded booth using the online booking. There are also window seats. The food was delicious but some dishes were a bit sweet for our taste. Food presentation was just awesome. Service staff were great and always helpful. The coconut ice cream for dessert was a highlight with the kids. The restaurant is also right next door to the KL tower. Highly recommended, tasty dishes and a great atmosphere for dinner.
Michelin guide restaurant and it really on point from the environment, ambient, food and services. Upon enter there’s staff that great you and accommodate you to a seat. The ambient and environment is comfortable with well decoration and well lit lighting. Food taste is alright and the portion is so big especially the pineapple fried rice that could share by 3-4 person. Pad Thai is quite flavourful and stir fried to fragrance. Tom Yum Soup is bit unique more on salty than spicy. Mango sticky rice is also a great dish with their sticky rice is actually serve hot and the aroma is good goes well with adding the coconut milk. Mango is fresh and sweet.
The food was amazing and all the staff were so courteous and helpful. I especially loved the shrimp and pineapple rice and all the appetisers. It's one of the best restaurants in Malaysia!
Great restaurant serving authentic delicious Thai food in KL. Michelin has recommended it. I say go for it. Reasonably priced for the superlative quality of food. The steamed fish at RM 65 was worth every penny. Very delicately flavoured and absolutely fresh. Nice room and warm service staff. While in KL, a must visit if you like Thai food.
