Whole sea bass, fried until shatter-crisp, finished in a tamarind-chilli-palm-sugar glaze.

How it works

  1. Source

    Daily

    Daily delivery from three farm partners in Ratchaburi, Nakhon Pathom and Chiang Mai. Seafood lands at our door from Samut Sakhon by 9am.

  2. Prep

    Morning of service

    Chef Ploy walks every delivery in person. Menu is finalised that morning based on what arrived; printed daily at 3pm.

  3. Cook

    À la minute

    Open kitchen — every dish leaves the pass under Chef Ploy's eye. We don't run more than 60 covers a night for a reason.

  4. Serve

    2h experience

    Two dinner sittings (6pm, 8:30pm). Each table gets the same attention; no rushed turns.

Frequently asked questions

Can you handle dietary restrictions?

Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and most allergies can be accommodated with 24h notice on a la carte and 48h notice on the tasting menu. Flag it in the reservation notes or LINE us.

How spicy is the food?

Authentically Thai-spicy by default, but every dish can be dialled to your preference (1–5 chillies). Tell the host on arrival; we'll match the kitchen to your table.

Do you take walk-ins?

Bar seats and the patio (4 tables) are walk-in. The main dining room is reservation-only — book 1–2 weeks ahead for weekends, same-week is usually fine on weeknights.

Is there a corkage fee?

THB 800 per 750ml bottle, capped at two bottles per table. Waived on tasting-menu pairings.
