7.7
A late-night Thai skewer-and-noodle hangout with retro decor where the best orders feel like street-food snacking: grilled items, something brothy, and one punchy sauce-driven bite. It’s a tight, personality-filled stop that rewards going specific instead of trying to turn it into a full formal dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Boat noodles, Dried squid skewers with spicy tamarind peanut sauce, Palm sugar-marinated chicken skewers
