Review

Lava is a new arrival to the restaurant scene, Located just off trendy Thonglor and offering up Asian inspired cuisine, many dishes prepared on the open-fire grin. The decor and vibe is vibrant, music on-trend, lending a clubby feel to proceedings. Begin with a refreshing choice of oysters or a spicy tuna tartar sitting on a surprising crispy wonton. A charcuterie and cheese platter is a great option for sharing or choose one of a signature caviar and ikura tartlet with rich hollandaise or their popular truffle liver toast, a crunchy brioche topped with truffled chicken liver with fresh truffle and shavings of parmesan. Uni carbonara also delights and braised garlic snails in a creamy garlic herbed foam with a crispy baguette to mop up the juices is a winner. For mains, the wagyu skirt or hanger are great recommendations, and the chef's omakase board of angus and wagyu cuts is a must try for meat lovers, a number of juicy cuts on a large wooden board to enjoy with dipping sauces. Ensure you choose a dessert, from a petite selection, including an innovative crème brut& with blueberry jam, cleverly infused with yuzu or a rich, melt in mouth, soft choc chip cookie with banana ice cream in an unctuous toffee caramel sauce. There is a comprehensive, predominantly European wine list, however, the signature cocktails and mocktails are a strong recommendation.

Need to know

Choose chocolate lava for dessert, the ultimate overload of hot brownie, chocolate sauce, milk chocolate ganache and vanilla ice cream.
