Thai food restaurant. Instead of your traditional plate service
restaurant Issan serves Thai food tapas style, which gives diners
the opportunity to sample a wider range of dishes available on the
menu. Diners choose a range of dishes from the restaurant's
extensive menu, the dishes are set out in the middle of the table,
allowing all the guests at the table to try out whichever dishes
take their fancy. The restaurant's speciality is the pla yang bai
tang (fish cooked in banana leaves), while the plaa telay (baby
squid) and the khaeng pad ped yang (roast duck curry) will
encourage a second visit to this gem of a restaurant. The desserts
are equally enticing, particularly the sticky rice with mango.
