KHAO Restaurant Ekkamai Branch (Uma estrela MICHELIN 2023)

I spent a short getaway in Bangkok with my cousin this weekend, and our friends recommended this restaurant; booking through Klook made it super easy. They were right! This dinner turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Both my cousin and I are huge fans of mango sticky rice, and Kaho serves one of the best we’ve had; easily comparable to Ning’s famous mango stand. The staff were wonderfully friendly, and when we mentioned we had a spa appointment after dinner, they thoughtfully expedited our orders so everything flowed perfectly. I’d highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to impress on a fancy date or host a polished business dinner. It’s a gem worth experiencing!

Rating: 4 stars The Khao Chae set was delicious and refreshing. The rice was well-cooked—each grain was separated and fragrant. The chilled jasmine water was aromatic, and we could even ask for more, which was a nice touch. Since we booked via Klook, we also received a special herbal drink, which was a lovely bonus. I was going to give 5 stars, but there was a small disturbance from a fly during the meal. Fortunately, the staff handled the situation quickly. Overall, it was still a great experience with traditional Thai flavors and warm service.

The flavor leans towards Thai sour, too sour. My mother and I didn't really like it. This set meal allows you to choose four dishes; ask the staff for recommendations. The two I chose were both too sour.

I booked through Klook and had a Friday dinner course with wine. You can choose 1-2 dishes from the B-D group menu. I chose the catfish dish, and it was a fun experience as it came out in an unexpected form. The food and the staff's hospitality were wonderful, making it a place I'd want to visit again and again. Even though I could barely speak Thai or English, they helped me by marking the menu and making sure I was taken care of. Most of the customers were East Asian, such as Japanese and Chinese. The restaurant faces a busy road without sidewalks, so I recommend coming by taxi or similar transportation.

The food and service were okay, nothing exceptional. I don't think this meets the standard of a 1-star restaurant.

The ambiance is stylish, and the staff's attitude is excellent. I highly recommend the Tom Yum Goong with river prawns. Other food items are decent.
