What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
e-ga LAB offers an authentic taste of regional Thai cuisine in a cozy, well-decorated setting, praised for its flavorful dishes and delightful desserts. While the food is largely appreciated, some diners find the prices a bit steep and service can be inconsistent. The ambiance is a definite plus for a relaxed dining experience, though occasional issues with food smells have been noted.
"If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in Bangkok, this place is a gem. The flavors are bold, the ingredients fresh, and every dish—from the fragrant curries to the perfectly balanced Pad Thai—feels truly traditional.
The service is warm and attentive, making you feel welcome without being intrusive. The relaxed atmosphere blends Thai charm with casual comfort, creating the perfect dining experience.
For a true taste of Thailand, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended!"

"First I rated it three stars because the greeting from the staff in front of the restaurant didn't seem welcoming us at a customer, The way he acted like he expected us who came here for the first time must know by ourselves what to do or where to enter or where to sit... which is not the right thing to do at all, at least just speak it up properly, I can understand that maybe you guys tired or busy day, etc. but it's not appropriate to take your emotions out on your customers.
However I appreciated the food ( especially for whoever like sweet and sour ) and one staff at the second floor,
he is quite active to his duty and can explain well about the food, the flavours. this is my experience and the opinions I have expressed are not based on any personal bias."

"You can only see the cake counter from the inside but once you go in and go upstairs, theres a very well decorated eclectic dining space. Grilled strip loin is a must try. Get the cakes too they were delicious. Restroom is clean as well. Very chill and cosy place."
