Description

Inside the dining room, the space pairs pleasant wooden decor with a layout that is small and sometimes just a bit crowded. The kitchen combines traditional preparations with local ingredients, turning out dishes like soft shell crab, crab dumplings, and creamy tom yum soup. While the curries are noted for their rich flavor, they also accommodate dietary preferences easily—almost any curry option can be made vegan by choosing tofu, vegetables, or mock duck. Just note that tables near the entrance can get chilly from the door.
