    We arrived a little early for our reservation. We got a very friendly and informative greeting, and then we sat at the bar to have some drinks and look at the menu while we waited. Everyone was helpful and informative, including our main server. Here's what we got: Bangkok 75 My favorite of the drinks we had. Very dry but tasty and a great accompaniment to some of the richer food we had. STK Old Fashioned I was intrigued by the tobacco, but now I know that is not something I need to seek out. However, it was a good drink and was as described. The Sukhumvit A nice tasty cocktail. I might enjoy this one if I were not eating food alongside it, but as a pairing for a meal, it was more competitive than complimentary. Not a dig on the cocktail, just saying I think it is better on its own. Lamb Shank Massaman This was super tasty and rich without being heavy or overwhelming. Such a balanced dish with so many good flavors. I would love to have this again. It was not served with a knife, and in retrospect, I don't know why we didn't ask for one since we did get one with the Khao Soi. Khao soi Sounded great and I'm glad we tried it, but it was maybe my least favorite dish that we tried. It was good, it just wasn't up to how excellent the other dishes were. The beef was in large pieces in the bowl and was a little difficult to wrangle. They did bring one knife for the table, but maybe each person could use a knife. Pad See Ew Another amazing dish. I especially loved the texture of the noodles. I would get this again for sure. Garlic Green Beans Very good! Good combination of textures and flavors. Curry corn cake I did not try these, but the people who did thought they were ok. They said they would not get them again. Like with other things, they weren't bad, there were just better things. Mango Sticky Rice I really enjoyed this. The rice was perfect, and I appreciated that it was not super sweet. The savory notes along with the perfect mango were great.

    I have been coming to your bar since you opened and I have been constantly impressed by your attention to detail. Last night, we celebrated my son's birthday, and once again, you outdid yourself. Thank you for making an evening we will never forget.

    One of the coolest things I have ever done in Houston!! We came here to celebrate my husband’s 40th (a big time chocolate lover) and he was extremely impressed. This says a lot because he is actually rather difficult to impress.
