This is not a Thai restaurant Thais would like. Does not present the beautiful spices and aroma well at all. Pork ribs were just deep fried with sweet chilli sauce next to it - lazy. Dishes were generally sweet and underwhelming. More

I think this place skates a bit on its location. It's certainly not worth going here for the food, which was more generic-Asian than Thai. I would have given it 2 stars except the service was quite friendly. More

We love Asian food so we thought we would try out this restaurant. We weren't disappointed - the service was good and the food was very tasty. Try it out if you are in Wanaka! More

we have visited this cafe frequently for meals or takeouts. The quality has gone off and it has become expensive-$40 for 3 take out dishes and a small entree recently. Not very tasty and probably will not patronise again. More

The food was fresh, tasty and delicious. They give a 10% discount for takeaway. I would recommend this restaurant if you like good quality fresh food. More

Food was poor tasting,not having much to do with Thai ingredients.And far inferior to your average cheap take -out.The "pad Thai" (that I sent back) was undercooked linguini ,no lime (too expensive an ingredient they said) , no egg ,poor seasoning etc.They offered a green curry that was a few pieces of tasteless chicken in 2 cups of flavorless coconut...

Popular restaurant right in the middle of town overlooking the lake. Great Thai food, well presented. Seemed quite cheap with curries around the $17.00 mark, ( but you need to pay extra for Rice ) Service was really fast and food well presented. Good selection of Wines and Beers, including Thai Singha, Chang and a Vietnamese beer. Very enjoyable. More
