Thai food and great service. We dine there once a month as a treat and recommend booking because it gets busy even during the week. They do take away too!

Have visited this restaurant twice for lunch and dinner. Very friendly staff and great menu. Food is fast (as it should be) and really fresh. Good portion sizes (not too big). Tasty. They do a $10 lunch menu during weekdays - not to be missed. delicious. I also think it's BYO.

This place was buzzing on a Thursday evening. Service, as others have reported, was very friendly and efficient. The food wasn't memorable but was OK.

Have been before and retuned again and each time it seems to be very good. Went early ,just after 5 and started filling with other dinners arriving and were all greeted warmly. Order was taken after we were given a iced cold water. No rush but food was served quickly and was all beautiful . Highly recommend and will be... More
