Foods made with quality ingredients. Since I couldn’t quite get the classic intense Asian flavor, the price felt a bit high to me. The ambiance is nice, and the staff are polite.

The only downside is the price. It’s definitely the best Thai I ever had in the whole Europe area. But also the most expensive one. We had a starter set, a curry seabass and a seafood pad Thai. Also one coconut drink(so good, the real one, cost maybe 1$ in Thailand but it is authentic) also the mangle coconut sticky rice as dessert(not recommended, nothing special). Cost us che 240 almost…. In seattle, USA this level of food may cost no more than 100 usd. In Chiangmai maybe less than $30. But it’s Zurich. Also the lady who serve us was super nice! The place is quiet too. I love everything here except the price lol. But what do you expect for a restaurant within hotel Marriott and also with such ambience.  Recommend if u want something nice tonight.  Highly recommend the coconut water, the side set, and the seafood pad Thai. I think their portion is also very generous .
