Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Indeed a COZY HOUSE! My son and I dined here on our first night in Ayutthaya. The server recommended dishes that were truly worth recommending! Tom Kha, Pad Thai and Enoki Mushroom fried crisply with a sauce that really kicks! Serving size can be stretched for 3pax but since we were ravenous, we easily ate everything! The menu has so much to offer with such reasonable prices.

The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. We loved the vibe and décor of the restaurant/café. We were very pleased with the variety on the menu, which includes Thai, Isan, Thai fusion, and Western dishes. They also serve wine and other beverages! Highly recommended.

Nice and Cozy place for gathering and celebrations. Nice live performance. waiters and waitress are friendly and sporting.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
