Food Scene

Not just because Anthony Bourdain (RIP) said it was the best fried chicken he had ever tasted, but because the food IS outstanding and the vibe transports you to the tropics. Order the, creole salad, fried chicken and creole doughnuts. And if you're a cocktail drinker, ask for the drum & bass.

Because it's slightly different from the normal Thai menu. Try the panko fish or the seabass. Actually everything is good!

Drinks & Nightlife

Cocktails and bites are delicious. Crowd is mixed all around. Typically there is no cover to chill down stairs and have drinks & food. And upstairs events include karaoke, dj nights and various performers. My favorite drink is the DJ Rita.
