An interesting dish at the restaurant was the Tom Yum Spaghetti, which tossed Italian favorites in a mix of Thai sauces and spices. Sounds weird at first, but trust us, it was insanely satisfying. The Stone Bowl with Noodles and Korean Chili Sauce was also an interesting concept, but needs some more work in terms of balancing the intensity and flavor of the sauce with the right proportions. noodles, In soups and drinks, Asparagus Edamame and Corn Soup set our senses on fire, while Ginger Beer freshened up our meal at NAO.
