Run away. Not as advertised. Menu on line and at time of booking is false. Food is bland and harsh. Service is slow and oddly wait staff announcing these horribly presented food as if it's the next coming of a savior. RUN AWAY if you're looking for authentic Thai. If you're looking for overoria crap food. Stay.

We were very disappointed by Hed11. The courses came out cold, even the soup was just a bit warm. We felt courses 4-9 coming out together also felt a bit overwhelming and didn’t have a nice path between them. The ribeye looked beautiful, but was so cold the meat was just chewy. I had very high expectations and was very excited for this experience, which led to my heightened disappointment with how it turned out. The service was lovely, and the flavors of the food were good - I just wish it was actually warm and a bit more robust.

Great place to enjoy a slow seasonal prix fix. Expect about 2+ hours of not rushed dining.

Fairly innovative cuisine and good presentation. Food quality was just Ok for the price ($180 for so-called 11-course). Dessert was lackluster. Syrup tasted like cough meds!

Fantastic tasting menu, everything was delicious, especially the Khao Gang. Service was attentive but not over bearing. Truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend. Would definitely return.

Really enjoyed the seafood dishes, the scallop and crab curry was delicious. However, dessert was lackluster — as 2/11 courses, I expected it to be better. The grenadine in the dessert was overpowering and made the dessert more syrup tasting than refreshing. Would reconsider that dessert dish.

Great taste and experience. I was transported to a new food experience. It was unlike any other Thai or American restaurants in the area.
