Fantastic place and really impressive service but sadly to tell that the foods are quite disappointing. I came here with a lot of expectations since it’s got many good reviews and the place itself looks really beautiful, and it really is, so I believed that the foods must be very good and authentic too. We ordered 5 dishes
Ma Hor was OK, well selected pineapple, it was really sweet and juicy and the stuffing ball on the top was OK.
Cured fish with pickles: It seemed like the chef need to sharpen his knives since there were many pieces of fish that got a poor cut and the fish should have been skinned off, raw sea bass skin are tooooo tough to chew and to eat and also fishy. The sauce itself was not special and the fish was bland.
Stir fried green curry: nothing special to remember, I mean the ingredients was fine and the portion was quite big but the taste was just average. Since it was a stir fried curry so I thought it supposed to be thicker but it was just like a normal curry with less sauce.
Grilled prawn-stuffed rice and mussels sour soup: It was a confusing combination. The soup was tasty and really refreshing, the rice was perfectly cooked and well seasoned but the problem was these two thing themselves’ve already had very strong taste!!! I mean if you put these thing together on the same dish the foods were supposed to full fill and balance to each other but this one, both of them are really strong which make it really overpowered when eating together. Therefore, it was unfortunately disappointing.
Mackerel spaghetti. We were not satisfied with any foods at all by that time then we decided to order something that we thought it would be a saviour, but it was not (for us). Salted mackerel spaghetti in Thailand normally comes in spaghetti aglio e olio style so we did not expected that they will put tomato sauce in this dish but they claimed that it was their own style so I don’t think that was a problem BUT, yes but, but the taste should have been better. The sauce was quite strange and too strong for us, (just imagine that you dip anchovies with tomato ketchup) it was not that bad but not that good for us.( and this one I think was too expensive since it was 295 baht with just spaghetti and sauce and nothing else at least if you provide a piece of deep fried fish it might seem reasonable for this price)
Moo Sarong: after the spaghetti which did not save our meal but we still tried to believe that may be the deep-fried dish wouldn’t disappoint us so we ordered this Yes, it didn’t disappoint us but didn’t impress us too. The minced pork inside taste like a pork ball in AYCE suki yaki restaurant.
Overall, we are really impressed with the staffs which have really good manners and high level of service mind. But seriously, with this price and with this marvellous place(buildings and location) that you’ve already had. The foods...
Read moreI really wanted to like the Raweekanlaya. They have a beautiful courtyard, a pleasant staff, and the website claims it “brings alive best of both western as well as Thai culinary experiences.“ But when we walked into the restaurant and discovered not a single soul joining us that evening, my stomach sank a few inches.
And then came the barrage of courses - each one as bafflingly unpleasant as the next. A leaf wrap appetizer containing massive chunks of unpeeled lime and ginger. Coconut milk soup with huge disruptive chunks of lemongrass and cilantro, floating alongside unseasoned, overcooked chicken. A pad Thai omelette that literally had chunks of unshucked crab legs cooked into it.
This restaurant deserves points for ambiance, service, and style. But the menu tastes like it was generated by AI, random ingredients thrown together with no regard for taste, common sense or the customer experience. I cannot overstate how disappointed I am by this expensive...
Read moreMy good friends invited me and my wife for a family style dinner for our trip to Bangkok. We experienced a completely unique and unforgettable dinner. A very friendly staff member named “Gik” did a wonderful job explaining that we were experiencing a sort of classical Thai cuisine which was historically catered for members of the Thai Royal Family and has maintained this culinary tradition for over a hundred years. Our meal included many dishes I had never seen before (I lived in Chiang Mai for 6 years). I think this may have been one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in Thailand and internationally as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant experience to anyone with a hunger for culture, history and of course food! Thank you Nicky, Tune and Gik! And of course complements to...
