Undeniably the best restaurant for clean and affordable Thai food. Charlie & Lek are so friendly and welcoming and have created a wonderfully run, homey experience for their visitors.Some may say the vibes are lacking, but really it’s just unpretentious and unapologetically its own style. Quick, easy and delicious!Pro tip : The place gets busy as soon as it gets dark so be sure to pay a visit before the sun goes down.Pumpkin curry w/ black bean tempeh,Pineapple fried rice,Thai green curry,And their salad options are all winners

Great veggie khao soi with tofu and tempeh (soy and black bean) as vegan protein options. Warm banana flower salad was also interesting - the texture of the banana flowers were not our personal favorite, but it was a well done dish and very cool to try!

This spot is serving up great local dishes, the tom kha was delicious and full of yummy veggies. The khao soi was flavourful. Staff are friendly and is obviously a favourite with repeat customers.

A Healthy Twist on Thai FoodIf you're looking for a healthier take on Thai cuisine, this is the place to go. Everything is incredibly fresh, with a great variety of veggie dishes and an impressive selection of fruit juices and smoothies. I thoroughly enjoyed several meals here, and each one was not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Great place to eat! We got the chicken fried rice, green papaya pad Thai chicken with an egg too and red curry chicken with mixed rice. Both were delicious. We came here twice during our stay it was so good! Very fresh and healthy, and good value for money. Definitely recommend.
