We had a party of four and ordered laab pork, duck curry, chicken with chili and basil, and drinks and dessert. Although the coconut water was fine, the flesh of the young coconut was not tender, and too tough to scoop out, a sign that the coconut was not the correct ripeness. The laab pork was nice, the correct balance of flavors and spiciness.

We had a party of four and ordered laab pork, duck curry, chicken with chili and basil, and drinks and dessert. Although the coconut water was fine, the flesh of the young coconut was not tender, and too tough to scoop out, a sign that the coconut was not the correct ripeness. The laab pork was nice, the correct balance of flavors and spiciness. Same with the chicken with chili and basil, although the chicken pieces were diced so small they had become quite miniscule and hard to eat! I would have preferred bigger chunks of chicken to go wtih the rice and soak up the gravies. The duck curry was also nicely flavored, but the portion was really small, especially for the price. The most disappointing dish was dessert, fried banana and brownies. The brownie was dried out and tasteless, as if it had been made three days before and stored in the back of the fridge. Most of us took only one bite and left the rest! The mango with sticky rice was also only OK, as the mango was not the correct ripeness. The final dessert was a candied waterchestnut in coconut, which was the only nice dessert, although the coconut flesh was too tough to eat, once again. The atmosphere is very nice and decor unique. But service was pretty slow and the price of the food for the portion was too high. Would come back only if other choices in the area are not available and if they increase their portion a bit and improve their service.
