The quintessential Chet's order. Fragrant jasmine rice is stir-fried with garlic, onions, peanuts, and a serious hit of fresh chilli, served in a carved-out pineapple for maximum impact. Reviewers consistently praise the textural contrast and the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Tips from diners
The peanuts add a great crunch. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pineapple to get a bit of the fruit juice in every bite.

The American 'diner' side of the menu at its strongest. A thin, well-seared beef and pork patty is layered with American cheese and a spicy twist on thousand island dressing in a soft roll. Reviewers call it a reliable and very satisfying alternative to the spicier Thai dishes.

The combination of beef and pork in the patty is unusual but it works to keep the burger very juicy. It's a great 'safe bet' if someone at the table isn't a fan of spice.
A bold and flavorful meat dish that demonstrates the kitchen's mastery of spice. The lamb is grilled until charred on the outside and rare within, served with a vibrant, herb-flecked dressing that has a serious chilli punch. Reviewers consistently name it as a mandatory order for spice lovers.

The chilli kick is real! This is the most authentic Thai level of heat on the menu. Order a side of the house slaw to help cool things down.
