Never did I expect to receive poor service in Thailand—a country renowned for its hospitality and the warmth of its people. Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant shattered my streak of positive encounters with the locals, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment.
When we arrived around 9:30 PM, we were greeted and told it was almost last order. We asked if it was okay to proceed dining in, they confirmed it was.
We walked toward the back, where only a few people were seated. (Now, if they were closing soon, they shouldn’t have allowed us to enter in even in first place)
When it came to ordering, we asked the lady to recommend dishes, but she appeared irritated. We decided to go with her suggestions and ordered three dishes for the two of us. However, she insisted it wasn’t enough and encouraged us to order one more. Despite our doubts, we trusted her advice as tourists and complied, assuming the dishes were small in portion, even asking if desserts would be available later, to which she confirmed.
When the food arrived, the portions were enormous—clearly too much for two people. It became evident that we had over-ordered based on her misleading recommendations. Midway through the meal, we asked about our desserts, asking if we’d have enough time to have desserts since we asked for it to be served after our main courses since the restaurant was closing soon. A staff member assured us, “Take your time.”
However, midway eating, another staff member suddenly brought out the desserts and the payment terminal, and announced that we had only five minutes to finish everything. Confused and frustrated, we explained that we hadn’t finished our main courses yet and had planned to eat the desserts later. The response was rude and dismissive.
The attached photo shows the moment they demanded we finish all the food, including the desserts, within five minutes. Look at the picture (taken at 9:53PM), how could we possibly finish everything we were recommended to order in less than 30 minutes total, and what more that amount left in 5 minutes?!? How is that even humanly possible? This ordeal completely ruined our entire night—not to mention we couldn’t even enjoy what was supposedly delicious food!
The entire experience felt dishonest and disrespectful—far from the hospitality Thailand is known for.
This place is absolutely not recommended. The total bill came to an unnecessary THB 1,972. The issue isn’t the cost but the wastage of food due to their misleading advice and poor service.
Especially for trusting tourists like myself who value genuine service and integrity, this restaurant is...

Read moreVery bad customer service My husband and I went in for dinner today (Nov 1, 2025) and received the worst customer service. First of all, every staff member looked miserable - nobody smiled or talked nicely to us when we were smiling. Second, for some reasons, they bought out 1 bottle of water and 1 cup (2 of us were sitting there). Third, when we asked for one more cup, a female server glanced at us and just walked away. When I confronted her, she said "I just serve (food)." Another staff (maybe manager?) told me that she doesn't speak English. When someone is talking to you, at least acknowledge them and find someone to assist. Especially when they're your customer. However, the server just completely ignored us. This is basic manner and it doesn't matter whether you speak English or not.
Food A. Stir Fried wagyu with Thai basil: 5/10. Basil was not crispy and wagyu tasted fatty. Not worth it. Very mild flavor. B. Stir fried spicy wide noodles with pork in Yunnan style: 5/10. Noodles was overcooked and plain flavor as you can see from the photo. C. Spicy deep fried Thai rice and fermented pork sausage: 9/10. This was the only dish we liked. Nice flavor and good size. (Photo was taken after it was served but it's actually good size)
It's hard to believe that they charge 10% service charge, meaning they're supposed to be a "nicer" restaurant. There are sooo many other restaurants on this mall. Go to another place.
