Viva Cafe Soi 8 — Restaurant in Khlong Toei Subdistrict

Had breakfast here hoping for a pleasant start to the day. While the food showed promise, the overall experience left much to be desired.

The Good: • Breakfast dishes were tasty and well-prepared • Comfortable seating and decent ambiance

The Bad: ☕ Mediocre Coffee - Surprisingly underwhelming for a cafe 💁 Terrible Service - Slow, inattentive and unfriendly staff. 💰 Overpriced - Portion sizes and quality don't justify the steep prices

Final Verdict: With so many better breakfast options in Bangkok, there's little reason to endure the poor service and inflated prices here. The decent food isn't enough to compensate for the frustrating experience.

Would I Return? No - once was enough. Save your money and patience for one of the many superior cafes nearby.

Note to Management: Your kitchen can cook - now train your staff to match that quality with decent service. I feel that your staff is not colour blind, we are a couple of Chinese from Singapore but it’s quite obvious that your staff is more happy serving the caucasians. Or they may have mistaken us for Chinese from China. Whatever it is, service standard should not be dependent on...

Its a pretty ok place expect great hospitality and service from the personnel but the owner is like a robot, for instance: i start with a cocktail for my wife and a large beer for me, no problem yet, but then we see a nice menu which states: 6 oysters and 1 wine for free, so because i started with a beer I ask to replace the glass of wine with a beer, now is a problem, the staff is ashamed its not possible, because the owner says no not possible, so what is the meaning behind this? No meaning, even knowing a simple beer is cheaper than a glass of wine, the owner says not possible to have a beer instead of a wine, i said ok, we get oysters, they even forget that free wine, now that is a missed chance in service, also the owner to speak is his personnel is very impersonal, he could come to me and explain this strange non-logic, but he didn't. Hope he learns something about customer service now. Good luck with the...

My experiences at Viva present a mix of impressions. The restaurant's policy on outdoor seating, particularly the tables with a roadside view, seems peculiar. These spots are apparently reserved for groups larger than two, but I've often observed individuals seated there, enjoying a drink alone. This inconsistency suggests that the rules might be selectively applied, possibly based on the staff's assessment of the customers.

On the culinary front, Viva excels. The menu offers a range of well-prepared, flavorful dishes that clearly demonstrate a commitment to quality. However, this comes at a premium, with prices on the higher end.

In conclusion, while Viva serves commendable food, the experience is somewhat overshadowed by its seemingly arbitrary seating policy and high costs. It may not be the most welcoming spot in town, but for those who prioritize culinary quality over these quirks, it offers a...
