Helmed by husband-and-wife chef duo Kanchit and Natanong Vongvicha, this is an all-vegetarian Thai restaurant. You can even sample a 7-course tasting menu. But we suggest you try their Thai-style protein balls in tom yum sauce, and obviously, you can never go wrong with Thai basil fried rice. For desserts, enjoy the tub tim krob featuring ruby-hued water chestnut and chilled coconut milk. The spot is an intimate 26-seater space with a very Bangkok speakeasy vibe, ensuring you will have an immersive experience.
