Tuba Restaurant and Furniture Shop
The fact that the Tuba experience is defined by more than its food is a good thing too, because given the quality of the food, one would not want Tuba to stand on that alone. It is not that Tuba’s food is downright bad. In fact, some of it is good: The rocket salad (120b) had slivers of almond that gave the salad a lovely flavor, and the Yam Goong Fuu (180b) – a beautifully arranged fluffy fried prawn and mango salad dish – was delicious with large pieces of flavorful prawn and a delicate sauce. However, for every good dish there was one that simply didn’t measure up. The Foie Gras Salad (590b) was overcooked and overpriced; the baked spinach suffocated under piles of under-salted cheese (120b); and the “Tuba special” (grilled seafood in what tasted like basil) should have been called the “Tuba Pedestrian,” as it was simply unremarkable. The Pizza Mexico (270 Baht) was great. Tuba’s hit-or-miss quality may be attributed to an overly ambitious menu, with pages and pages of Thai, Italian, and Californian fare – and even a section devoted to German sausages. This is not to say don’t eat here – rather, understand that Tuba is meant to go beyond the food.
The most important aspect of Tuba is the atmosphere. The owner, Khun Tong, runs a sister company as well – a furniture warehouse called Papaya, located nearby on
