Went to the new location on Soi 18 with high expectations that were definitely met. Great choice of food and drinks, and good value for the quality.

Great restaurant and bar - easy walk from the Phrom Phong metro and close to Marriott Marquis Queen's Park. Solid wine list and eclectic menu with friendly and fast service. reasonable prices. My kids enjoyed the pasta carbonara and the wife and I had a...bottle of wine and excellent charcuterie. Great place to escape the heat and enjoy a cold beverage and tasty menu.More

Back in Bangkok and back at the No Idea Gastropub in Sukhumvit Soi 22. It was a great wine and food experience last time I visited in April, and it was just a good now. Dishes were great and the wine selection is worth the...visit alone. It seems to always be full so I would recommend making a reservation if you do not come alone and can sit at the bar. The kiwi “owner” likes to talk to the customers (there are a lot of regulars), and he will have some great stories about the wines and the place itself. Highly recommend when taking a break from the Asian cuisine.More

Where can I start….fabulous food, service and ambience. We had 9 dishes between the 3 of us….and I wanted more….purely because I was being greedy. I had the scallops and lamb rack, husband had the mackerel bruschetta and bangers/mash, the teen had steak tartar and...burger….honestly not one bad calorie…(also had the chorizo to share and then the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate lava cake….)… Extensive wine list - carefully chosen and priced. Booking is completely essential as they are so busy. But it’s worth waiting and planning ahead for. Thank you No Idea BKK, for a wonderful evening.More

After 3 years without a trip to Bangkok I returned this week excited to enjoy some meals at No Idea. I was not disappointed. I have eaten several meals at No Idea in the last week and all were excellent. The presentation of food is...top notch. Sea bass and goat cheese salad were particularly noteworthy. But just as in previous years the server team is exceptionally welcoming and attentive. It is always a pleasure to come back. Thank you team for making our visits special.More

With a mix of shopping malls, hip bars and food stalls

rarely encounter a dull moment along Sukhumvit. While
the main road itself doesn't offer a lot in terms of
entertainment, it's the adjoining 'sois' (alleys)
where the magic happens. Popular spots are soi 11 for
a lively night out, soi 4 for naughty nightlife and

Hi Gustav I'm not sure if they serve kangaroo but they serve a lot of other great stuff! Steaks, oysters, great cheese, sardines, tuna and lots more. The beauty is that's its family run and the taste is so consistent!
