Built on the Khaosan Road spirit
The name comes from Khaosan Road in Bangkok, and the restaurant says it brings that street-market spirit to Haymarket. The menu splits into classic and modern Thai dishes, with the flavour built on sweet, salty, sour and creamy notes. Rich curries such as massaman and yellow curry sit alongside crispy pork belly and fresh salads, so the menu covers a lot of ground for one kitchen.
