I don’t know what we were expecting but it I’ll tell you we were NOT expecting to be so impressed and blown away. Everything we had was just so well prepared and balanced. The quality is top notch and would have been totally worthy of some upscale place with a much higher price point. Stopped in for lunch during a visit for a flea market pop-up in July. Would easily come back just for the food. Impeccable.

Great atmosphere, delicious food at reasonable prices. Khun Kim and Khun Eddy are attentive and provides service with a smile. The chef even came around to ask for customer feedback, I ordered the pink lemon soda — it had a refreshing taste, not too sweet, and very enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. A truly delightful dining experience.

A restaurant set in the nursery at BITEC. Never knew BITEC had such a corner all the way at the end, an area selling sustainably produced lifestyle items, a nursery and this farm-to-table restaurant. Not everything in the full menu is served, it depends on what ingredients are available daily. The cuisine is general Southeast Asia. We had Roti Canai with Chicken Curry that's cooked with Palm Heart instead of potatoes. Crab Meat Fried Rice was delish, with wok hey. The Crab Cake was generously filled with shredded crab meat but I didn't quite enjoy the flavour. The rest of the dishes (Rojuk Salad, Thai Papaya Salad, Clam Curry) were a little too spicy for me too. They have pretty interesting ice cream flavours despite a very limited dessert menu. Reasonable pricing is a plus and the ambience is probably their biggest selling point here.

The concept is a good addition to the Bangna area, and blends well with the Garden team in Bitec. The food is subtle and safe(not bold or strong) well presented with attention to details. Cocktail also nice flavor and balance The only minus aspect is the super grumpy manager on the floor, who pulls the whole service team and customer experience down. This lady’s energy is very unwelcoming, not a single smile or expression of happiness on her face - this is a contrast to the dining experience . Conclusion: the other service staff is very attentive but the manager could be a liability to this business (BITEC management take action!)
