Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Make a reservation. That's the first thing you should know about this fish restaurant on Tha Phae Road, because it fills up quickly and walk-ins have to wait 20 minutes or more, and the service is under considerable strain when it's busy.

The salads are the absolute highlight. The pomelo dish, in particular, is a hit: sweet and salty with a subtle hint of kapi, more of an Isan region delight than a northern Nigerian one. The grilled fish and squid are always fresh, and the dips make all the difference. A few guests found the fish itself just okay, but not particularly delicious. You order it by weight, squeeze it with lime, and eat it with rice. There's a homemade cola that you won't find anywhere else, and a dessert made with real sago. It's best to come in a group. The menu is perfect for sharing, and those eating alone will quickly find themselves spoiled for choice. Prices are mid-range, and one or two guests complained about the portion sizes, especially the fried rice.
