We ate at this Thai Restaurant and really enjoyed our meals. Nice fresh food and well cooked vegetables, excellent Tom Yum soup. Pleasant service, not too expensive, nice decor. We were surprised to read the last entry as our experience differed greatly.

We arrived at the restaurant with no welcome, not even a hello, and then given raised eyebrows by two different staff members indicating they were asking what we wanted. We were told to fin out own table, and after 15 minutes out food order was taken (no drinks order was asked). The food arrived within minutes of ordering (it was... More

Great prices, excellent service on a quiet autumn evening. They happily prepared a meal without spices for a member of our group who didnt like spicy food.

Genuine Thai fare at a good price. Service was pleasing, the view sensational across the road to the waterfront. Restaurant opens its frontage in summer to take in the bay atmosphere. There were no bugs about, so I recomment asking for a street front table.

Food was authentic & delicious. The 'mild' option (curry) was still a bit too spicy for my children. However, they have other dishes that are not at all spicy, which my kids enjoyed. Good value for money. Place was clean & service was not bad. Had to wait about 10-15 minutes for the food as they were extremely busy.

The food is good the service swift and attentive and the hours that the place is open meets everyone's needs. We had he Pad Thai with king prawns and it was delicious. The spicy prawn stir fry was also full of flavour and was equally as nice as the noodles (Pad Thai). It was good to eat nice Thai by... More

Entrees were disappointing, with pork money bags being more gristle than pork. Spring rolls, contained meat, which was not listed on the menu - not a pleasant surprise for the vegetarian of our group. Pad Med - had 7 miserable slices of chicken (the size of two dollar coin and just as thick), and approximately 11 cashew nuts. Burnt flavour... More
