"Kyoto's Love Spring Kaiseki" Menu. This time, Chef Nan transported us to her favorite city, Kyoto, where she learned kaiseki from. Amazing Japanese cuisine with Thai flavor.

Pot of Hot Tea $12. 20% service fee will be automatically added to the bill. Free limited parking at small adjacent lot or street parking around the block. Reservations via Tock.
