The real thing
Cooked from scratch, priced like Thailand
We were founded by twin sisters from Isan, and the Thai side of our menu is the food we actually eat: curries with proper depth, tom yum that bites back, stir-fries that come off the wok in minutes. Every dish is cooked to order — which also means you choose the spice, from gentle to Thai-hot.
Prices stay where Thai food should be: stir-fried plates from 129฿, curries at 169฿, and nothing on the Thai menu over 249฿. The single most-ordered dish in the cafe is our pad kra pao — holy basil stir-fry over rice, from 129฿ — and it has its own page for good reason.
From an Isan kitchen
Twin sisters, one wok, no shortcuts
We grew up in Isan, in Thailand's northeast, and the Thai half of this menu is simply what we know by heart. The curry pastes are built for depth, the tom yum is meant to bite back, and every wok plate is fired to order in minutes — never scooped from a warming tray.
That also means the heat is yours to set: tell us mild, medium or proper Thai-hot and the kitchen follows. Our own team eats pad kra pao on their breaks — a fair sign of where our heart is.

One honest note for gluten-free travellers: our curries and stir-fries over rice are naturally gluten-free by recipe, but we are not a certified gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact is possible. Tell the team and we'll help you choose. The full list with prices is on the menu page.
The setting
A long water table, a fish pond, no rush
You eat around a long stone table with water running down the middle into a fish pond — light, minimalist, half indoors and half in the garden. It's the kind of room where a quick lunch quietly turns into a two-hour one.
We're a five-minute walk from Nopparat Thara Beach inside Ao Nang Landmark, with parking right outside and no booking to keep — just walk in any time between 8:00 and 18:00.
