" A well-decorated restaurant that combines both art and food! I loved the vibe! However, my meal was underwhelming. I ordered the chicken curry, and it lacked the flavor punch I was looking for. The staff was nice, and I appreciate their effort to make it a pleasant experience. I would suggest giving it another go for a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" El 123 has become my go-to spot for special occasions. The atmosphere is cozy, with lots of greenery and art surrounding you. I tried the green curry, which was amazing! However, some dishes tend to be a bit on the sweeter side, possibly to cater to local tastes. Service was excellent, which added to the experience. I'd love to see more gluten-free options in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El 123 for lunch and absolutely loved the ambience! Bright, airy, and inspiring! The mango salad was incredibly fresh and my friend had the pad thai, which I sampled—it was not quite authentic, but I enjoyed the depth of flavor. Service was kind and attentive. Perfect for a weekend chill, I recommend it for anyone looking for a special spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El 123 while wandering around, and it was a delightful surprise! The decor is beautifully artsy, and the menu is packed with exciting choices. I opted for their signature pad thai, which was decent but definitely a more Mexicanized version. Despite that, it was tasty! Service was prompt, and I appreciated the variety in their drinks. Definitely coming back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I left El 123 both impressed and slightly underwhelmed at times. While the aesthetic was lovely and the staff friendly, I felt that the dishes leaned too heavily towards sweetness. My curry, though rich in flavor, lacked the traditional heat I expected. Overall, I’d give it another shot, but I suggest they work on balancing out the flavors to cater to those craving more authentic experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a great time at El 123 for dinner! The kids loved the pad thai, although they mentioned it was a bit too sweet for their taste. I enjoyed my chicken curry, which had lovely flavors but wasn't very spicy. The ambiance is perfect for families with its playful yet elegant vibe. Overall, we had a good experience but would love a touch more spice! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving fusion cuisine, look no further! I was skeptical at first, having tried numerous Thai places, but El 123 has a unique charm. The lamb dish I ordered was tender and perfectly seasoned. The staff was attentive but not intrusive. However, I found the portion sizes a bit small for the price. The interior ambiance is vibrant and makes for a comfortable dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
