Customer Review Summary
The lunch set with red or green curry and chicken satay skewers draws the most repeat mentions, with diners noting generous, satisfying portions and heat toned down to suit broader tastes. Close behind, the Thai iced milk tea and Thai iced coffee come up repeatedly as favorites, alongside special orders like soft shell crab, grilled pork neck, and mango fried herring for larger groups. Several reviewers describe the space as small and family run, with the chef sometimes stopping by tables, and multiple diners advise booking ahead since it regularly fills up. Parking is mentioned as limited. One reviewer reports diarrhea and vomiting after a lunch visit and says they would not return, though this account stands apart from the otherwise consistent praise for flavor and friendly service.

“This small restaurant feels warm and intimate, its compact dining room decorated with Thai accents that create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We chose the set lunch, which came with two skewers of satay chicken: tender, well-seasoned. The main offers a choice between red or green curry, and you can pick either chicken or pork as the protein. I went with the red curry pork. The curry and its accompaniments were flavourful and well-prepared, though the kitchen had toned down the heat to appeal to a broad range of diners. As someone who prefers spicier food, I would have liked it to pack more of a punch, but I can see why the restaurant chose a milder level so most guests will enjoy it. Portions were satisfying for a lunch set. The meal also includes one soft drink or another beverage from the menu; if you opt for a pricier drink you simply pay the difference. Service was friendly and efficient, and appropriate for a leisurely weekday lunch. Overall, the food was tasty, the portions reasonable, and the atmosphere cozy. I enjoyed the dining experience and would recommend the place for anyone looking for comforting Thai food in a small, charming setting.”
