Reviews
Whole meal took about 3 hours start to finish. Service was friendly.
Only complaint is that the pescatarian substitution for the beef being fishcake felt a bit.. cheap.. I was told it would be king prawn. Then again I did request no beef just before the meal.
Would describe more but better you try it for yourself. Just Thai flavours in textures you’ve never tried before.
While I definitely enjoyed my meal here, if I had to choose between this and my regular Thai takeout, I think I’d still go with the latter. Would recommend this as a try if you want Thai food but different.
The menu includes a soup, some sea food dishes and ends up with a meat dish followed by a dessert. The service is good / and attentive and expected for a Michelin star restaurant. The wines choices are good too and they have Riesling to start / followed by wine pairings if Chardonnay / Rose wine and Red Italian wine with the main meat dish.
There is some innovation/ some dishes are delicious and overall the experience is a good one. It’s also decent and reasonably priced as compared to other various Michelin starred restaurants in Copenhagen/ or any other big European metropolis.
Soup to begin with was delicious, one of the salmon and caviar dish was excellent and so was the meat with rice as a final main course.
I would say overall worth a visit especially if you want a break from Nordic cuisines and want something spicy and Asian.
Wine pairing is decent and if you don’t mind the additional cost then I would recommend.
Meal for 2 is easily 400 euros without wine pairings.
Verdict 4/5
I can see how this must have burst onto the scene so long ago, because the concept is interesting; the 6 amuse bouche/ snacks to start the meal are innovative in their mix of traditional flavours, spice, heat and textures and were one of the highlights. But as the meal progressed some of the table side theatrics just began to feel unnecessary and almost detracted from the actual quality of the cooking.
Asian diners familiar with fine dining or the Michelin and even non Michelin accredited establishments in South East Asia will likely be disappointed here because the flavours are familiar but not elevated enough for them to appreciate.
That said, anyone who is less familiar or just craving a light haute cuisine Asian experience for date night or a special occasion will enjoy the evening.
The environment and decor is a little dated and lacks the refinement and sophistication of other establishments at this price point. But it’s still comfortable and… maybe a little too warm. The AC here is stuffy so try to be seated near a window so you can personally modulate the draft from the window yourself.
The aromatic crab curry with home made rice noodle was a highlight. The curry is delicate enough to be turned into an espuma which highlights the delicate flavour and aromatics. Many of the other dishes felt very heavy handed in salt and acid and lacked the sophistication and execution of this dish. And like I said before, some of the fussiness took away from the actual good cooking of the kitchen. Not so in this dish.
Service was pleasant and the establishment is run by a mostly Asian crew predominantly Thai in ethnicity to give it that exotic feeling. They seem to enjoy entertaining you and helped to make the night more of an experience.
The signature Tasting Menu brings you back to Thailand roots and emphasizes key traditional ingredients while blending with the freshness of Scandinavia.
The menu is well-balanced, varied and consistent and overall had a nice and unique romantic dinner. Recommend!
