Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Quite simply, this was the best Thai food we have ever had! Staff were great, food was not greasy and the flavours were outstanding.

This was a wonderful unexpected mid week find. We didn’t have a booking but were greeted warmly. We had the best food and wine. Would definitely recommend.

I’m obsessed with this restaurant. The food is so bloody delicious. I stayed n KV for 3 nights and had dinner here 2 nights. The food is full of flavour. The only restaurant where they understand “hot ( chillies)” dishes. Prices are reasonable. And food...is served with warm service. Very cosy ambience. The owner very attentive and friendly. So are other beautiful female staffs. The chef does god’s work! Very highly recommended.More

Absolute delight tucked away in the beauty of Kangaroo Valley. Food is very good - a match for the best Thai we have had. Prices are very reasonable and service is efficient but very relaxed. Can’t recommend highly enough

David, the restaurant owner, was welcoming, very helpful and attentive. He also has a great sense if humour. The restaurant is only open from 5.00pm to 8.00pm on certain evenings. So best to book and plan on arriving early. The menu is authentic and the...Thai chef prepares amazing authentic dishes. You can choose mild, medium or hot. We chose hot and that was perfect for our dishes. For starters we chose stuffed chicken legs which were sublime. Crispy batter with a generous filling of savoury minced chicken with chilli dipping sauce. We also chose fried quail and duck red curry. All dishes were amazingly good, freshest ingredients , generous portions and beautifully presented. I cannot recall enjoying a Thai meal more and we lived in Asia for 35 years! We'll certainly be back on our next trip to Kangaroo Valley. Thoroughly recommended.More

We had a takeaway meal last night. Masaman Beef, stir fried vegetables and rice. Absolutely delicious. The beef was so tender and no gristle. The vegetables were perfectly cooked in an oyster sauce. We even have leftovers for lunch today. To top it all off,...when I placed the order they said they’d give me a call ten minutes before it was ready. And they did! Fabulous and friendly customer service in a beautiful country town.More

Overpriced for basic Thai food - Nice decor, though, and excellent service. Not many options in Kangaroo valley so this is one of the best places to eat.

Truly delicious Thai food, good servings and oh so tasty. Were a few things on menu that were unavailable but that’s an indication of freshly made offerings running out rather than an endless supply of frozen food. Well worth a visit if you can.
