Electric Sheep – Mediterranean Meets Thai

Written by:

We have always been intrigued by the name so my wife and kids came one warm Thursday night – and it we never regretted it. It’s a sensory experience of its own. From the moment that you step into an industrial lift that lasts for a minute or two to get into the fourth floor, to the the time that you savour every bit of its menu offering.

First the place.

Electric Sheep sits on the fourth floor of an old warehouse in Talat Noi, and getting there already feels like part of the experience, as mentioned above. The room leans hard into its retro-futuristic, Blade Runner-adjacent identity: pink neon washing over the walls, a “celluloid dreamscape” kind of lighting, tables made from repurposed plastic in mismatched colours that somehow work together.

It shouldn’t feel cohesive, but it does, in that slightly eerie, slightly playful way that makes you want to slow down and look around instead of immediately burying your face in the menu. There’s a rooftop garden, which you don’t necessarily notice on first glance, but once you know it’s there, it changes how you read the whole space — this isn’t just a restaurant dressed up as a spaceship, it’s one quietly obsessed with where things come from.

Then the food.

The food follows that same logic: playful on the surface, disciplined underneath. Everything on the menu is built from 100 percent Thai ingredients, which sounds like a gimmick until you taste how far that constraint pushes the kitchen — no imported cheese, no imported wine, not even beer, and yet nothing feels like it’s missing. Nothing here beats you over the head with “fusion.” It’s more like watching two chefs quietly translate their Mediterranean instincts into a language made entirely of Thai produce, and somehow losing nothing in translation.

Finally, the price.

It’s on the pricey end of the range. Including drinks and dessert, and by the way, the plates for each dish are quite small (imagine an oversized tapas), so you need to order a lot if you want to be really full to the brim. But each item is delicious and the flavours are a character of their own, so it’s really worth the buck.

Recommended? Yes.

Will we come back? Definitely.
