Paste Bangkok - Pathum Wan

Valiant effort from a Thai restaurant that has received a 1-star Michelin accolade, but missing the mark. Food is good, but in a great food city such as Bangkok, many of its dishes on the tasting menu could be just as easily from some other better priced alternatives in the city. Quality of ingredients does not seem to be above and beyond. Service is friendly, but there is a genuine disconnect from the staff of what it takes to be a fine dining establishment. Dish introductions are memorized, no conversations around personal taste profiles, wine selection is sparse (perhaps understandably so given wine pairing with Thai food is not the norm). If you do come, do not take the seat in the far right corner after entering the restaurant. That table lacks lighting, and all dishes served are visually impaired, a disservice to the otherwise tasty food. English is not the strength of the serving staff, which should be rectified if the intent is to be fine dining. A more conversational staff that is more naturally learned or inquisitive about dining hospitality and interacting with clients would be a massive plus too. Current staff is adequate, but to that extent only, nothing more, nothing less. All-in-all, slightly disappointed in what I believe is needed in the Thai food scene. Highly rated local fare venues. I hope more detail is taken into consideration and the Paste earns its stripes and more. A visit only for the curious.

4 stars for food and service. Nice presentation and comfortable environment. 1Michelin star for few years. Overall above average quality and food presentation is more impressive than the taste. A fine dining restaurant.

Service was very good and detailed. Called about 30 mins ahead for a 9pm reservation. Food was good. I liked the prawn with pomelo salad the most. The lobster with noodles was good too, but could be better if given more flavor.

Superb Thai restaurant in the middle of the town. If you want to experience Thai food, don't hesitate to stop by. Recommended. Taste : Price : Service :

An exceptional fine dining experience. I tried their tasting menu which had a range of delicious options. Absolutely beautiful presentation and service was stellar. I would definitely repeat. I recommend a seat in one of their window booths so you can watch the busy Bangkok bustle as you enjoy the fine taste of Paste.
