Positive User: Nice view of WatArun across the river.
Tasty thai authentic food.
Reasonable price.
Lovely service.
Rooftop is beautiful. can’t miss!
Everything is very good.
(Need to make reservation before visiting.)
Positive User: Very nice place. Of course not the cheapest, but the view on the rooftop pays you back. Also the Livemusic was really great. The selection on food on the menu is just Thai and not so many dishes to choose from, but it is ok. We were lucky to get a table for 2 without reservation.

Positive User: Make a reservation and go
There are no seats outside on the 2nd floor.
If you just go when you want, there are seats on the first floor.
Are you lucky to be near the window? I asked the clerk in advance to change it when a seat became available and they changed it for me.
Very kind.
The food tastes not bad and eating while looking at the night view is a plus.
This is a must-visit spot when you come to Bangkok.
In the past, it was difficult to take a taxi to this place at night because there was no MRT, but it is good that transportation has improved a lot.
Positive User: I like that the food comes out quickly and the view is pretty.

Positive User: I recently had lunch at a restaurant with a stunning view of the river and Wat Arun temple. The food was delicious and the wait time was minimal. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
While the prices were slightly higher than average, I found it to be well worth it for the ambiance and quality of the food. The menu had a good variety of Thai dishes and the portion sizes were just right.
Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for a lovely meal with a beautiful view. It’s a great spot to impress guests or simply to treat yourself to a special dining experience.

Neutral User: Great location, beautiful views and friend staff. But the most important part of a restaurant is the food and that was lacking. The Thai green curry was soupy with lots of green leaves that were very bitter and hard to eat. The chicken tasted like already made frozen chicken beasts from a mart. Was very disappointed since the ratings were good and it looked more luxurious.
Neutral User: Service:
Came by myself, (looking sticky hot and not well dressed) and I didn’t receive the best service. First, they brought me to the end most seat. Then set the table for me to face the wall. Sweet 🤭 Luckily I asked them to set my chair next to the wall instead.
They take order and serve fast.
Food:
Since they placed me on this end, I decided that I’ll only order 1 meal. Got Pad Thai. Maybe today isn’t my day (here), but the pad thai is mushy and has the strongest taste of fish sauce. Shrimp is a bit mushy too.
Pricey but maybe you’re paying for the view (tho I didn’t get to enjoy). Stayed until I felt cool enough.
Neutral User: Crab fried rice was OK. Very stingy on the crab meat.
Tom yum seafood was average. Prawn is not that fresh. The soup only have prawn and mushroom inside. The flavour is more on the sweeter side.

Negative User: Awful experience here with the staff. The only sour note from a pleasant trip.
I ate at all the restaurants on the street but would encourage avoiding this one.
Negative User: Terrible service will reserve a seat to eat. Informed the shop that it would take 15 minutes to arrive. The page said to reserve a seat first. When booking, not booking, only accepting walk in only to come in. There is an empty table. When I arrived, I was told that the table was fully booked. go to another restaurant is very bad service
Negative User: We have no chance to have any food. One of the staffs at the top floor chased us away by her rudeness. It really left a real bad taste to the memory.
