What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise Khaosan for its authentic flavors and friendly staff. The Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are crowd favorites, and the Thai iced tea earns consistent love. Diners love the fact that it’s reasonably priced and often describe it as a “hidden gem” in the neighborhood. Many mention the speed of service as a key reason they return before events.

Areas for Improvement
