The house specials elevate the experience further—try the Pla Sam Rod, a gluten-free, mild dish featuring crispy fried catfish fillet topped with a medley of tomatoes, mushrooms, and Thai chili in tamarind sauce. Or indulge in the Hor Mok Talay, which brings together scallops, shrimp, mussels, and squid in a fragrant coconut-red curry sauce, a perfect harmony of seafood and spice. For those who crave robust, complex flavors, the Kua Goong Panang Curry with shrimp and pineapple bursts with sweet and savory notes, while the Green Curry and Red Curry provide comforting, creamy warmth that lingers pleasantly.

Soups here stand out as well, especially the Coconut Tom Yum, a mild yet spicy coconut-lime lemongrass broth teeming with chicken, tofu, or shrimp alongside fresh mushrooms and onions, warming from the very first sip. The delicate Tom Jued with shiitake mushrooms and vegetables offers a soothing, clear broth balance, while the Tom Ka with choice of protein combines creamy coconut and zesty lime for an irresistible bowl of flavor.
