Came here for a business meeting. What a lovely ambiance! Ordered Kao Soi based on the recommendation from a friend. Enjoyed it thoroughly, soft flat noodles and crispy noodles in curry that was flavorful. It was a great contrast of textures. It was served with 2 chicken drumsticks. The flavors never made it into the chicken, that was a little disappointing. But overall a great meal!

We walked to Laksana from our place, which was great--it's nice to have something so close by. We brought our dog and sat on the patio, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was really kind and efficient. We started with a Thai tea, which was good, and the chicken satay with peanut sauce. My husband thought the satay was the best he's had. It also came with another sauce that was fantastic, as well as their house hot sauce, which we really enjoyed. The Tom Kha (listed as "coconut soup" on the menu) was delicious--full of flavor and really well-balanced. We also tried the Larb with purple sticky rice, which was just okay. Portions are generous, so you definitely get a good amount for the price. We stuck to some basics this time, but based on what we had, we're looking forward to coming back and trying more!

They have the best Vegan Pad See Ew ever. There is no egg smell etc, it smells clean and nice, and I loved it. This is a vegan / veg / vegetarian / plant based review

We were so impressed with our experience here. The seating and decoration around the restaurant was so beautiful. We came with a large group of people and they were able to accommodate us with long table. The staff here is super friendly and checked in on us throughout the dinner. All the food was not only delicious but also presented very beautifully. The menu is also decently priced, considering the area the restaurant is located in.

Parking might be a challenge if you come exactly around noon so try for underground retail parking (2 hrs free) or near nextdoor starbucks/ crescent park. The interiors are welcoming and the ambiance is grand as u step into the restaurant. The staff is beautifully draped in traditional thai attire and the chandeliers and seating are delightful to look at. Your mood will instantly relax :) In $80 (including madatory 18% tip), we got: - penang curry veg 5/5 - hot spicy - it was delish and huge!! Loved the consistency, quality of ingredients and flavorful curry. Hot was not spicy enough for me so i will be going up one more level next time. Rice needs to be ordered separately - white rice - standard - drunken noodles veg 5/5 - hot spicy - if u are indian like me and looking for spicy then go one level up. Hot was medium for me i guess. Huge portions!! - thai iced tea 3/5 - a little more watery than what i prefer - mango and sticky rice dessert 5/5 - omg huge and fantastic blend of fresh juicy sweet soft mango with sweetened rice in coconut milk topped with sesame seeds. Must try!! Even after over eating we couldnt finish any dish and had large to-go boxes :) Very friendly staff and restaurant was loud as it was almost full at lunch time and tables were very closely placed to accomodate more folks. Deducting 1 star for mandatory gratuity of 18% for 2 people which seems outrageous for lunch. Especially when you are rushing the customers by placing desserts and bill while we are still eating the main course. Definitely coming back to try more soon :) and enjoy their outdoor seating next time!
