Cozy house restaurant by kwanruen — Restaurant in Ban Phan Thom Subdistrict

Has a cute little corner, not too busy. Unfortunately, for some reason, there are cops on the street blowing whistles to direct single cars which drive down the intersection. Very annoying. I asked if they had Thai iced tea. Our waiter said yes and quickly brought an iced lipton bottle. It was glass, with rust on the lip. I verified that I asked for a Thai iced tea. He said he would bring a second tea for the other guest at my table. We communicated we did not want a second, but that we wanted a thai iced tea with condensed milk. He shrugged and said that was the only one he could give me. I didn't touch it and they still charged us 100 baht for it. The food was okay, lots of grease. Spring rolls' outside were crispy. Unfortunately, the long bits of cabbage and greens inside made it hard to eat as they got stuck in your teeth and tended to pull the entire inside out. Overall,...

Food was delicious, so we came back a second time. The second time I wasn't so lucky. Both visits, I checked my order with the waitress and explained I have a severe nut allergy (I gave this information to them in both Thai and English, and was reassured again that all would be fine with our order). Unfortunately I started having quite a severe reaction, a few mouthfuls into my soup, and had to leave in a hurry to get safe and treated. Could have been cross-contamination... could have been poor communication between service staff and kitchen. Won't ever really know.

In summary: Good if you don't have dietary requirements. Dangerous if you do. Average value for money for the area. Casual atmosphere. Mostly outdoor tables on the street. Food was...

We had a lemon tea, mango smoothie, Tom yum fried rice with chicken, morning glory and garlic squid squid. The mango smoothie was full of real mangoes and was really delicious. The squid was crispy and the morning glory quite tasty. They were both however a little bit too salty. Tom yum fried rice was not bad. I think we should have gone for steamed rice considering how rich the flavours were going to be. But overall we still liked the food and the mango smoothie was a 5 out of 5. Would come back here for a mango smoothie on a hot afternoon. It was also in a very breezy location in the evening as it caught the evening breeze. You won't need the fan here. Very comfortable at 8pm...
