Book NowAbout Nusara
Chef Ton choreographs modern Thai dining as an ascending tasting journey overlooking the illuminated pagodas of Wat Pho. Rather than staying anchored to one table, the meal progresses through levels—sampling amuse-bouches right in the kitchen before moving to an upper-floor lounge for skyline views. The multi-course progression reimagines the traditional Thai samrub through deeply personal regional recipes. Longtime diners steer newcomers toward the signature blue crab curry paired with crisp prawn crackers, while beverage options integrate creative cocktail pairings developed with downstairs Nuss Bar or smoked cold-infusion teas. The evening wraps up around a Thai tea sandwich and coconut ice cream.
- Multi-Floor Journey: Guests move through levels, beginning with introductory bites in the operational kitchen before heading upstairs.
- Wat Pho Panoramas: Tables and upper-floor lounge spaces frame direct nighttime views of the glowing Wat Pho temples.
- Modern Thai Samrub: Dishes highlight regional recipes, led by signature blue crab curry served with crisp prawn crackers.
- Curated Cocktail & Tea Flights: Courses pair with infused cocktails crafted with downstairs Nuss Bar alongside smoked cold teas.

What really set it apart: the cocktail pairing option, drawing on creations from Nuss Bar downstairs. I have high cocktail standards and every single one was exceptional — I’ve never seen this offered anywhere before and it added a completely different dimension to the meal.
