We like the ambient of the restaurant, the staff was very friendly. Actually we were not interested to eat insects. When we discussed the menu the waiter offered us some bugs and finally we ended up to eat them and be honest quiet delicious. Food was nice taste and we enjoyed the time there.

So we decided to visit this place to eat some insects.
I was a bit scared and though I wouldn't eats all of the dishes, but after tasting every single course I had to finish it all!
It was cooked on high end! Every course was perfectly adjusted to the insect. So if the insect weren't part of the dishes, it wouldn't be that good!
NERVER ATE THAT GOOD!
Thank you for this amazing experience!

Location - this is both a plus and minus point. Its about 40min taxi ride from city so thats a minus. However, once you are here, you will forget the journey. Its situated in Changchui market and hence theres much to do before or after your Insects Meal :)
Food - Surprisingly, i was able to put it in my mouth without feeling squirmish. Guess the food presentation played a part. The insects are very well integrated into the dish and the overall taste is pretty awesome. We went at 2.30pm and thus we were the only diners in the restaurant. For first timers, can try the sampling menu... its about SGD42, a little on the pricey side but ingredients are of good quality.

Strange market in general so this place fits in perfectly. I loved the taster menu so you could try lots of different dishes. My favorite was the giant water bee 4th le ravioli.

They have 2 different Menues - one with insects - one without - I tried the nachos with different insects and fish with ants - all very delicious- definitely have to go there when around - it’s on the Chang cui creative market so also good areas to spend some time before dinner

Tried the tasting menu and had such a great dining experience here. I must say that the service was amazing, TOP NOTCH. This is most definitely a good way to introduce yourself to eating insects. The chef thought of creative ways to integrate flavours and our waiter even gave me a glass of complimentary sangria.

You’re curious and skeptical. It was fabulous. You can order anything without critters. Linda has the tasting menu, with ants crickets worms caterpillars water beetles and grasshoppers. And silkworm ice cream. Think ice cream with some nuts and coconuts and you will like it. I had pork, cut the bugs. Expertly chef prepared and served. Friendly staff. In a funky place built with recycled materials in changchui creative park, a quirky street market boutique area listed in time magazines 2018 100 places to see.

The flavors and textures were very good and did not feel or taste differently to anything that I have ever eaten. Although the food was presented very well, getting over the visual of the insects (six courses) is what took getting used to every time a dish was served.

Stumbled across this place while visiting ChangChui and so glad we decided to stop and eat here.
The pasta dish both myself and my friend had was absolutely amazing, we don’t often gush about food but this dish warranted it. Highly recommend.
In additional the staff were delightful and very welcoming.

Went there to introduce my girlfrient to quality insect dishes and it didn't disappoint. Supperb decor, tasty drinks but most of all, carefully thought and ellaborated dishes where insects are just a part of a superb dining experience.
We asked for some to take away back to our country (Portugal) and they were happy to prepare them and pack for us. The chef was a super kind person and even helped us to get a taxi back to central Bangkok. Couldn't recommend it more!

We were just walking in Chang Chui market n randomly walk in, attracted by the beautiful atmosphere. Orders 2 pasta originally n after a first taste we added one more without hesitation. Really tasty food n a pleasant surprise on our 1st meal in Bangkok.

Amazing fine dining experience. We had the tasting menu that we ate till the last insect! Well combined flavours and lot of different insects to try!
The price is absolutely affordable.
The restaurant is easily reachable with a taxi or tuk-tuk from BKK center, and is in the middle of a wonderful “village” full of street food trucks, lovely shops and art galleries.

We went there to celebrate my Sister in law Bday. The restaurant is located inside the "Chan Chui" night market which itself is pretty intetesting to walk around with many bars,restaurants and some shops.
The interior is well decorated with jungle theme. The restaurant building was a warehouse, it is very clean and the service is top notch. You felt so welcome in this restaurant.
The Insects Nacho is a MUST..So crispy and tasty.
The Ox Toungue is tender and juicy.
The Crickets Pesto Pasta is delicious with that nutty flavour with fragrant of basil
Yum.
The salad is so fresh, seafood pasta is tasty too.
Not for the faint hearted but for a great insects experience we enjoyed it tremendously.
The chef must be congratulated for his efforts and creations.
Will be back.
