Genuine Thai fare at a good price. Service was pleasing, the view sensational across the road to the waterfront. Restaurant opens its frontage in summer to take in the bay atmosphere. There were no bugs about, so I recomment asking for a street front table.

Food was authentic & delicious. The 'mild' option (curry) was still a bit too spicy for my children. However, they have other dishes that are not at all spicy, which my kids enjoyed. Good value for money. Place was clean & service was not bad. Had to wait about 10-15 minutes for the food as they were extremely busy.

Entrees were disappointing, with pork money bags being more gristle than pork. Spring rolls, contained meat, which was not listed on the menu - not a pleasant surprise for the vegetarian of our group. Pad Med - had 7 miserable slices of chicken (the size of two dollar coin and just as thick), and approximately 11 cashew nuts. Burnt flavour... More

The lunch special with many choices available was modestly priced. Mildly spicy and very hot meals were both delicious.

This restaurant is just across from the water. Their Thai food was very good and the beer reasonable priced. The service was prompt and attentive. I like hot food but I asked for medium. Their medium was hot enough for me!
