It was our first visit in this restaurant, even though this is our third visit to Queenstown. Service - efficient and friendly. Food - tasty selection of South East Asian cuisine Ambience - warm and family friendly We had the popping prawns for entree; followed...with two main dishes: chicken curry with roti and pork n prawn pad Thai. We also had a side of green papaya salad. All were tasty.More

Excellent food and service, but the decor is in serious need of updating. The menus were actually dirty and the furniture was stained.

My favourite restaurant in town I must say, I have been in Queenstown for 3 years food always great but the baby back ribs used to be the best ribs I have ever had for a well travelled man and I am not just speaking...for myself here I have heard at least 20 people say the same thing, the new ribs are still nice but please bring them back very disappointed will probably not sleep well for a week after this newsMore

we were late but they kept our table, which was good. our orders were taken for drinks and food. not sure how long we would have been ignored if we hadn't asked what had happened an hour later. our orders had to be retaken, no...apology offered. after that, everything arrived in good time. duck salad was nicely spiced, but almost no duck, very disappointing. no discount, no responsibility taken for their slip up. at least apologise and knock off the price of a drink or something. the customer should matter, and we felt that we didn't.More

After getting knocked back at several restaurants (some don’t take bookings), we got into this place. Friendly staff, awesome food. We had the beef cheek curry and chicken curry and good sizes and great taste. Queenstown is struggling to get hospitality staff as evidenced by...the plethora of advertisements outside all the shops/restaurants. This place was busy and had a great vibe. We will be backMore

We absolutely loved the food and vibe here. We’re normally loyal to Madam Woos and white n Wongs but this place trumped both!! Our service was really good as well.

Friday night n it was packed … drinks flowed but the food was very slow . Only three in the open kitchen and they clearly could not cope . Staff should have either not accepted too many bookings or advised customers of the wait ....Our entrees came quickly but the mains were over an hour wait . The crispy beef in bao buns , satay chicken and prawn dumplings were good . Pad Thai was nothing like it but tasted alright . So overall the food was good but not cheapMore

Delicious food but the most impressive was the costumer service by Thiago, who was really kind, explained the whole menu and always with a smile on his face. We will be back!

The service was custom made for me due to my allergy and they accommodate us in a very special way, they sang happy bday to my partner, and he got a little surprise at the end of our meal. Tiago recommended us the best dishes,...entertained us and made the evening even more fun with all the jokes. Would definitely recommend and will return!More
