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.

Why go, and how to do it well
Think of it as a food court that's had money spent on it. Down in the LG level of Central Embassy, the space gathers stalls covering curries, regional dishes and street food under one clean, air-conditioned roof, which counts for a lot in Bangkok in April. You're handed a card with a barcode, you order from whichever stalls you fancy, and you settle everything at the exit. A 5% service charge gets added, and prices sit above what you'd pay on the street. For the location and the comfort, I think that's fair.
Not every stall is equally good, and reviewers are honest about that. My advice is to walk the whole floor first, see what looks busy, then commit. Curries come in for consistent praise. The same basement holds a large premium supermarket, which is genuinely useful if you want snacks, sauces or gifts to take home without hunting around town.

Reviews from Google
To summarized, this is a fancy Thai food court. The food was great. I enjoyed the chicken curry. The place was not very crowded as well, so it's very chill. The price was a bit more expensive than usual Thai food court. Also, you will be charged a service fee (I think 5%) when you pay as well, which makes it more expensive. Nevertheless, recommended to try!
Reasonable price consider its location, varieties of food option. Surprising very less crowd. Literally no wait for food order, plenty of seats/ tables. It’s inside the central embassy atas shopping mall, at its LG level. Very clean table, they will provide you kind of credit card with bar code on it, with 1000baht limit. You just need to scan that bar code when ordering foods inside. There will be additional 5% service charge. You do not need to return the tray or clean the table after dine. That’s the fee you paid for the 5% I guess. Just like the open space restaurant concept. Few Michelin recommended stall I guess
Beyond the famous food court, the basement of Central Embassy houses a massive, premium supermarket. It is a fantastic one-stop shop for local gifts, snacks, and daily groceries to bring home. The selection is huge and well-curated. If you're hungry while shopping, there are also several integrated food stalls offering quick bites. It’s a very polished and convenient spot for tourists.

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.
