Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the atmosphere, describing decor that feels like stepping into Thailand, and pair it with food they call authentic, delicate and beautifully presented. The banquet meals draw the most detail, with a starter sharer that includes pork ribs, followed by mains such as green curry with chicken, beef with black bean sauce and mushrooms, duck with tamarind sauce, Pad Thai and coconut rice. One diner calls the beef with black bean the best they have tasted. Close behind is the service, described as friendly, quick and accommodating, with several noting repeat visits over many years. Others mention enjoying the fish and prawn dishes. The one mixed note comes from a reviewer who found the tom yam soup average, and another reviewer refers to negative reviews from diners unhappy about not getting enough sweet chilli sauce on the side. One reviewer suggests dining in, saying the experience is heightened, and another praises spotless toilets.
