The Experience

From Michelin Guide

Thai culinary culture interpreted through Japanese ingredients. The husband and wife, each of whom moved separately to Bangkok and honed their culinary skills, now offer their cuisine prix fixe. Chopped mix of pomelo and seafood derives from the table of the royal court; rice vermicelli yakisoba is inspired by Bangkok street food. Curries are prepared with fresh-pressed coconut milk. Regional cuisines are reproduced using fermented or matured homemade seasonings. KHAO overflows with inquisitiveness and passion for Thai cuisine.
