We came here because Mark Wiens boasted about how great the Tom Yum is here. First of all, the size of the bowl is what I would characterize as an amuse-bouche. So if you are hoping to walk out of here stuffed with Tom Yum, you should expect to buy a second or third bowl. Second, we didn't find it all that exciting. In fact, we are American and it tasted familiar; we were both indivicually both trying to figure out what it tasted like. We figured it out: the Spaghetti Os we ate when we were kids. Maybe Mark Wiens ate this growing up gets nostalgic for that flavor. In any case, not bad, but I'd be depressed to learn that this was actually the best in town.

This Gem is nestled in a.narrow alley or Soi.Again,our local van driver had to call to get directions.their specialities are Tomyam seafood wth noodles and huge freshwater prawns,clams or lobster.we tried an array of the menu n the best is wth the huge prawn.the soup looks red n spicy but it isn't.another unusual dish is....bacon wrapped over mushroom sprouts.the sitting area is small n quite warm but it is worthwhile.the waitress wth a tattoo on her forearm speaks good English so it was easier to place our orders.A cheap place to eat.Salute to Tripadvisor for recommending this hidden gem.I totally forgot bat Pee Aor!

I would say the tomyum broth is excellent and not too spicy. Good for people who can't take much spiciness! Try the one with lobster, the portion is huge and good for two persons sharing. The lobster is fresh and topped with salmons, eggs, fishcakes etc which are all go very well with the tomyum! This place is my must visit whenever I go to Bangkok.

This is the first time for me to tried tom yum noodle, but im a big fan of tom yum gong! The soup is good! They add lots or other seafood like crab meat, prawn, soft boiled egg (something like jap style egg). I prefer the white noodle because their texture is unique.

We also tried the rice with friend egg and prawn. They put a red sauce made from crab egg. Delicious!!!! We order 3 portion with addons like egg, crab etc also thai iced milk coffee. cost us 300 baht.

Amazing!

This is definitely the best Tom Yum I have ever tasted. It is spicy, flavourful, and they serve it with a large serving of fresh prawns. I also ordered Chrysanthemum tea, Guava Juice and Coconut Juice. They all tasted really well.

Most of the people here ordered the lobster. It costs around 999 baht. We will definitely order that one before leaving as we need to budget our expenses for the other attractions in Bangkok.

Overall, I would come back here again.
