This venue certainly didn’t wow us. It wasn’t poor, nor was it excellent. For entrees we have the calamari and chicken satay. For mains we had a special Thai papaya salad and prawns, and a Coco Prawn with Jasmine Rice.
The venue was a bit...dark and not overly inviting, and the music playing in the background was certainly not from Thailand. The service was good and quick, and the prices were reasonable. The calamari was quite average. Maybe grill it next time rather than deep fry in oil. The chicken satay was really not the best. While the peanut sauce was tasty, the chicken was extremely tough on all 4 skewers. Not sure what happened here, but we have had chicken satay numerous times before and a good satay has the meat melting in your mouth, and with little effort to remove it from the skewer. The prawns on both main dishes should be the hero on both dishes, but they were not. They were bland packeted and tasteless prawns. The dressing on the papaya salad was good, as was the coconut flavour.
I am sure there will be a spirited defence by owner, but we have eaten Thai in a dozen countries including several trips to Thailand, and the meal we had here was average.More
