Customer Review Summary
Authentic Thai flavour is what diners praise most, with one noting that Thai people confirmed it and several calling the portions great. The Phara Papaya Salad, the Kiew Tod and the spring rolls are each singled out by reviewers, one of whom calls them the best spring rolls ever. The Bangkok platter and salt and pepper chips also get a mention. Mango sticky rice earns praise as a dessert, and the cocktail and beer are called excellent, though one reviewer found the Thai milk tea a bit too sweet. Close behind the food is the staff, described repeatedly as friendly and attentive, with one reviewer also calling the place clean. The one sharply negative review reports that a waitress discriminated against customers and kept trying to sell items to a customer who stayed polite and thanked her throughout. Others describe an anniversary dinner made special by the hospitality, food cooked to order and fresh, and dishes that arrived quite quickly.

“the worst food store ever. The attitude of waitress are very trash, especially the waitress named TG. Discriminating the customers, trying to sell the stupid things although the customer was so nice, smiling and keeping saying thank you to her. I will give bad recommendation about this restaurant!!!!!!”
