Went to Soei at its new location with 3 others and had a great lunch. Highly recommended if you are ok with spicy.

Took a taxi and got close, then a stall vendor on the corner, apparently used to lost Westerners, motioned us down the soi. No romanized signage.


Don't expect the Four Seasons.


Very helpful, friendly waitress who apparently had the most English guided us through a balanced lunch. English menu available with photos, but I'd recommend what we had.

Started with the kaem pla too tod (แก้มปลาทูทอด), Indian mackerel cheeks. Unlike what our pal Mark Wiens said, didn't need to call ahead, though maybe this is only for lunch when they still have plenty.

Then we got the goong chae nam pla (กุ้งแช่น้ำปลา), which is raw shrimp marinated in lime juice, chilies, raw garlic along with enough wasabi to blow a safe. Have water or beer handy.

On to pla goong pao (พล่ากุ้งเผา), Thai shrimp salad with jumbo freshwater prawns.

Finished with boo neem pad pongari (ปูนิ่มผัดผงกะหรี่ ), soft shell crab curry.

THB1400 out the door including water and beer. They called us a fake Uber and took a photo with us. Fun.

Link to Mark Wiens page on Soei including address, map, and good photos of each of the dishes I mentioned.
