"Amazing, authentic Thai food with genuinely friendly service. The staff are always welcoming, and the chef is incredibly accommodating to my vegetarian needs. We were a table of four and thoroughly enjoyed both our starters and main courses. As a vegetarian, I had the veg spring rolls and Thai green curry — both tasted wonderful and truly authentic. My dietary requirements (no fish sauce or oyster sauce) were well understood and carefully accommodated, which I really appreciate. They never disappoint, and I always look forward to visiting again!"

"I drove up with my sister from the Southern Suburbs today to try this restaurant out, and we were both very impressed. We shared the chicken spring rolls, which had a nice crunch to it, as well as it was tasty. For the mains, I ordered the prawn Thai Fried Rice, and my sister ordered the chicken Sweet and Sour Stir Fry. From my side, I was surprised how good the meal was with there being a good variety of stuff in the rice and would definitely order it again. I forgot to ask my sister how she found her meal overall, but she did seem to enjoy it. I enjoyed my time there today and I am more than thankful that the drive was worth it. I hope this place will be be found to be enjoyable by many more."
