Walking through Hardware Lane is so in your face, so be prepared! The lady at the menu board of this restaurant was friendly, not pushy and knew the menu. The wait staff were efficient, attentive and made good food and wine suggestions. The food came out quickly and was delicious. My partner and I eat a fair amount of Asian... More

Got a table outside in the buzzing laneway on a Friday night, the outdoor heaters kept us warm. Great atmosphere, though was slightly disappointed with the food. The chicken satay to start was good, though the seafood tom yum soup with noodles and the other thai dish were sweetened far too much, making it more appealing to the masses, which... More

This is a funky Thai restaurant on Hardware Lane: a pedestrian street which is very busy at night therefore it is a great spot for people watching. Can be noisy. Inside is quieter. We had (i) Red Duck curry. Excellent. (ii) Pad Thai noodles -- super. But (iii) it is best to pass on the Lemongrass lamb (not much lamb... More

Liked this place so much we went twice. Everyone in my group was please with the food we had and the service was pleasant enough. The Tom Yam Prawn soup is great and the green curry very nice - served in a terracotta pot. They allowed me to change the green curry from chicken to vegetable. Starters are around 10... More

I visited this restaurant with 7 girlfriends on a busy Friday night with no reservation. The staff went out of their way to seat us in the laneway so we could enjoy all the action and the music. The food was delicious and very generous in portions. The service was very helpful and with a smile even though they were... More
