Yaowarat opened in late fall and is an amazing blend of Thai/Chinese food. The name derives from the same-named Chinese neighborhood in Bangkok. Reservations are only accepted for parties of six or greater. I would advise any residents to arrive just prior to their 5:00 PM Opening. The owners did a terrific job of great food, design, and comfort which is why I have chosen to dine there often. A true treat.
