Verdict: Run

Awesome spot in Nimman for a wholesome, nutritious, and tasty meal. Primarily was seeking a place where I could get enough protein and stumbled on this gem. Service was quick, food was extremely tasty, and prices were great. If I lived in the area, I would frequent. One of our AirBnb hosts in a totally different area highly recommended this spot even though it was a 20 min drive.

Comments:

• Papaya salad was bright and with the additional of peanuts and the fish sauce, was way better than I expected it to be - I loved how this complemented my chicken and sticky rice

• Roasted chicken was moist with a good crispy skin

• Fried thai basil with pork was a decent dish but could have used more seasoning, but we had a nice tamarind sauce to boost it up

• Sticky rice served in a straw container was delicious as well - a perfect pairing to the other dishes

• Overall, a lovely dining experience - would be back if I am in the area
