I’m a little more ‘new generation.’
I’m wasting my time and the customer’s time."
“Any Thai restaurant that still has Chinese dishes on the menu, avoid.
There are some that still do that because they think they have to.
“Less is more.
Keep the menus small and tight, and it’s a win for everybody.”

“Cheese represents a Western influence that fails to authentically represent Thailand’s cuisine.”
