Khao (ekkamai) - Nonthaburi

Luckily I was able to make a reservation to try out this One Michelin Star restaurant. The service standard is what you will expect for fine dining. The food is truly deserving of the michelin star and is simply delicious. I strongly recommend the stir fried crab meat in curry powder and the Thai style steam fish souffle. You won't regret it.

I’ll start with what I didn’t like. The reception/management staff were cold and standoffish. When we arrived, there was no one to receive us for about 5 mins, and obviously I understand they were busy, but they also didn’t make eye contact or tell us what to do when they walked by. Also they didn’t acknowledge us when leaving the restaurant. You may think I’m making a fuss out of nothing, but that’s the entire job of reception. That is in very stark contrast to the wait staff, who were very polite and welcoming. That being said, the food was really delicious, well presented, and also surprisingly affordable. The menu is really huge and I think it’s best for groups so you can try more dishes. I’d recommend the crab omelette which was truly outstanding, pomelo salad, and the lamb shank curry. the pad Thai was oddly below par and too sweet. Environment wise, you should make bookings to get the ones at the windows which are more spacious. We were assigned a table near the bar with people constantly walking past and it did not feel exclusive. So basically cheers to the restaurant for keeping prices relatively low, keeping the menu extensive and delicious, but the reception/manager seriously needs to look at their attitude and service standards.

The staff was amazing. we actually got there 30 minutes before they opened since we went by taxi, but they let us in to the waiting area and gave us the menu to see. 15 minutes later they let us to the best table of the restaurant and took our drink orders. Once they were opened they prepared our food really fast, and the staff was always around and always taking care of us. Now for the food, I really can say they deserve that Michelin star. Every single dish was delicious that even my teenage daughter and my 7 year old daughter really enjoyed.

Highly recommend to all who come to Bangkok. We were attracted to come here by it’s Michelin Star but we can see why it’s been so consistently highly rated. Exquisite plating, flavorful food. We were very pleased with our choices of the 4-in-1 appetizers, curry crabmeat, yellow curry, and mango sticky rice. Service here definitely warrants its raving reviews. We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and family

This is a very lovely place to have a dinner. The Thai dishes offered are authentic, and clearly they paid a lot of attention to their ingredients. There are so many dishes to choose from, and although it is a little bit overwhelming, the ones we ordered were delicious. However, I would recommend that the restaurant cut down on the number of dishes offered and only offer a few special dishes, with some seasonal ones. It would make ordering a much better experience. And the non-Thais won't have to gamble. The atmosphere is lovely. Granted, it was pouring outside and we felt naturally cozy, but the lighting and the large window panes was something extra. The staffs were very professional and helpful throughout the service. We had the rosé Riojà and it paired really well with Thai food. We cannot recommend this place enough.
