Description



Chef Kornpon draws on childhood memories of Thailand's floating markets to direct the kitchen. The menu features plates like Mama Tom Yum noodles and pineapple fried rice, deliberately balancing meat and plant-based options. Drink orders lean toward colorful sodas and cocktails like the Ban Ka, while the welcoming staff and relaxed room set a comfortable tone for dinner dates and small celebrations.
