Coffee Beans By Dao — Restaurant in Pathum Wan Subdistrict

🍽️ A Safe Bet for Familiar Flavors — But Service Could Be Warmer

We dropped by for a casual meal and tried a few of their classic crowd-pleasers. The Thai Fish Cakes came out golden and crispy, paired with a sweet-spicy cucumber sauce that gave them a fresh lift. The Fried Chicken Wings — crisp on the outside, juicy inside — served with classic sweet chili dip, checked all the boxes for a solid appetizer.

Surprisingly, the Seafood Aglio e Olio turned out to be a nice touch — simple pasta, garlicky, with a gentle chili kick and bits of seafood. A fusion dish done right, even if it wasn’t mind-blowing.

Overall, everything we ordered was within the expected standard. Well-prepared, decent taste, served fresh. Nothing particularly outstanding, but nothing disappointing either.

However… What took away from the experience was the service. Some of the waitstaff felt less than welcoming — lacking that warm, attentive attitude you’d hope for in a sit-down meal. Not rude, but definitely not the kind of service that makes you want to linger or come back often.

💬 Our Take: ✅ Food: Solid, reliable, as expected. ✅ Presentation: Clean and appetizing. ❗ Service: Could really be improved with friendlier, more...

Everything is so delicious! I have been here couple times in the past, food always came out good and tasty, very quick service too. We ordered Thai and International dish this time, pasta was so delicious and has suitable taste to Thai people (creamy and rich flavor), and Thai salad was very delicious, has all sweetness and sour balanced very well.

It is famously known that this restaurant has delicious cakes, but I didn’t really believe in it because of appearance, their cakes didn’t look that tempting. However, I decided to try Chocolate fudge cake and it turns out to be one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever had! So moist and very chocolaty.

But the fried fish dish with side mashed potatoes was absolutely tasteless, the fish was so bland. We couldn’t finish the whole dish. But all in all, lots of dishes were delicious and we will definitely go back there again if there...

The restaurant was full but they still welcomed us to eat there. Once our order was served to us it was clear why they were full. Great food followed up by staff which were keen to respond to our further requests. In fact we ate at the restaurant twice and we were confident enough to take out. As you can see from the pictures the food looks great and it tastes fantastic. We were once again presented by z full restaurant but needed to wait only 20 minutes for the take out. Hence our very 'impressed' 5 star rating to what will probably our favorite restaurant while staying in Bangkok. Notes to owner/manager. Please don't change it. It isn't broken, It doesn't...
