A beloved old-school Thai-Chinese seafood restaurant tucked into the Silom area that locals have relied on for decades for honest, generous plates of stir-fried seafood and soups. The steamed fish with lime and chili and the morning glory with shrimp paste are perennial favorites. It's unpretentious and the service is brisk. Arrive early for dinner as it fills up with office workers and regulars.
