I had a private note to send to Yala and was unable to send it unless I filled this portion out, but I do not wish to write a review.

Excellent food, each dish a great combination of textures and colors, and well seasoned. Complex but not fussy. Good service, reasonable prices. The bar was a little loud but otherwise pretty perfect.
