The food was amazing. The only fault I found was that they waited a bit too long to take our order. In saying that the staff were lovely. Prices were very reasonable.
Fabulous good, best Massaman curry I've had and the service was great as well. It was a very busy Saturday night so very noisy but you got used to it and in the end it didn't matter.
Food was really yummy. I also like the new restaurant. A big improvement from previous location. Ambiance was great. Food came really quickly. However, the service could do some improvement. Firstly, we're 4 adults but we're only given 2 menus? When I wanted to ask for 2 more menus, no one was in sight (we're seated at the very back table) so I had to actually stand up and walked to the staff near the kitchen area to ask for the menus. Moreover, I ordered Bangkok mojito for my drinks. When the waiter came serving the drinks, he didn't say the name of my drink properly and kept saying something like lemon cocktails or whatever, and I said "No one ordered this drink" And instead of saying "Ok I'll go and check again" he insisted "No no this is for your table" and just put the drink down to the table which I found was very odd and very persistent even though I already said no one ordered this drink. So I said "I ordered Bangkok mojitos. Is that what you mean?" Then he replied "Ah yes yes Bangkok mojitos" I found this very unprofessional. Lastly, at about 7.40pm after we finished our food, we ordered some desserts. We just literally ordered 2 mins away, then a waitress came over and said we had to vacate the table by 8pm. But we said to her, hey where's the desserts? We just ordered it. Could you serve it now? If you serve it now, then we will gladly vacate the table ONCE we finished. She seemed quite surprised and said no one was rushing us, just take our time bla bla bla...but really in our opinion, what she was saying was indeed rushing us and told us politely to go as quickly as possible. No one told me about this 2 hrs seating limit when I made the booking (online and call to confirm). Will I be back...yeah probably. The food kinda save my opinion about this restaurant.
Lovely food, a bit different to the normal Thai meal. As it's so busy was a little chaotic on arrival, with people queuing near the door and in the way of serving staff, but once seated the staff were good and service great.
This is my first time to the new restaurant. The food is good. The ambiance is good. The new restaurant is actually much better than the old restaurant!
Pleasant service on a busy Friday night. Great Thai Mojito cocktail. The food was lacking spice, and all dishes were very sweet and lacking that Thai zing of salty, sour, sweet and spicy.
The food was wonderful as usual & the place very busy. You can always count on the food to be consistent. We look foward to our next visit. The Galloping Horses, Red Curry Duck & the spring rolls are a must :)
Food was delicious, and service impeccable. A bit noisy and dark. Acoustics not good. Will definitely be back ! Thank you for a great meal.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff & delicious food. If I had a negative, servings were a little small, but overall would highly recommend it to all
Was absolutely awesome.. i could not fault the food or service. Its hard to find good quality here in Perth and Galangal made me happy.. i will definately be going back.. thanks for the great food, atmosphere and service..
We went there for Valentine's dinner. Everything was perfect.. the restaurant ambiance, food and drink variety, service and the taste.. par excellence. Overall more then satisfied.
Excellent atmosphere, food presentation spot on, however not the best Thai for what you are paying. Most of the dishes had no spice. Roast red duck curry was more of a sweet sauce same for the pork. Soft shell crab would be one reason to go back....simply the best and perfect balance. Service could improve, i.e a couple having a meal, drinks are ordered and only one drink arrived, 5 minutes later still one drink! wheres my beer : )
The food and the service was amazing. The staff were very attentive and had great knowledge, the cocktails were also incredible, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody who loves good Thai food.
Awesome authentic Thai food. Excellent service although very busy on a Tuesday night. Entrees were amazing, we had the beef carpaccio, spring rolls, soft shell crab and curry puffs. Curry puffs are a must have, we've had in Perth. Mains were perfectly cooked, we had the twice cooked pork belly, fish, duck curry, pad thai and pad prik king goong (prawns). Dishes were full of flavor. We tried three desserts, coconut ice cream, lime tart and the mango sticky rice. The mango sticky rice was our favorite. It was nice and warm and not too sweet. Would definitely recommend this place, but will definitely need to book in advance as it is very busy.
Food : My favourite dish : the masaman beef curry but compare the price and the size they served away so expensive . The other hand the chicken curry was nice and serve size and price reasonable. The second dish for main course take little long though they forget our order. Overall : It was lovely night , I will recommend to my friend and friendly service too .
Terrific food, though portions were small, people we were with had been previously and said that the portions were larger before. There were six of us and the pork belly plate contained five pieces which made up purchase another.Two bowls of rice purchased which really only served four people.....
Thank you for a lovely night out. Great service, beautiful staff and amazing food. We will definitely come again soon and tell all of our friends.
Our second visit to Galangal and well worth it! The food is beautifully presented, flavoursome and served in some interesting serving ware. Overall fantastic. The pork belly was as delicious as the first time, the red duck curry and wok greens perfect. I read a lot of reviews about Galangal and the common negative thread was around the service and wait time for clearing tables. Well the reviews have worked, although the staff may be a little over enthusiastic now, but I'm sure they will find a happy balance. We will definitely go back and I can highly recommend Galangal to those who love Thai food!!
Very tasty , superbly presented & and reasonably priced. Romantic & a lovely ambience to the Restaurant. We will be going back & recommending Galangal to our friends & family.
Exceptional food. Service a bit lacking as the restaurant was booked solid. Could give you free rice and/or water as the prices are fairly high for the size of the meal servings and the price.
I have been seeking out really good Thai since moving to Perth from Melbourne 2.5 years ago. In Melbourne there is typically good Thai in every suburb - not so common North of the river in Perth. Thrilled to have found a great dine in restaurant with lovely atmosphere and a take away option 15 minutes drive from our house and the drive is worth it!
Finest Thai food in Perth. Will sure be back again. The taste is amazing. The Rice bowl is a bit too big, if you order 1 steam rice, it is enough for two ppl. Lol
The food was great as usual, however, being rushed and almost pushed out the door to accommodate the eight o'clock booking was somewhat disconcerting. The rush to clear the table at 7.15, while we had not completely finished our food or wine, somewhat spoiled the dining experience. Since we always include our grandchildren in family occasions we have no choice but to eat early and will therefore be looking at nother restaurants for future occasions.
Fantastic ambience, delicious food and attentive wait staff. Dishes are designed to share, but you could go it on your own if you're hungry! Probably not the sort of restaurant where you'd ask for a take home doggy bag though! This is a great restaurant for couples, older families and group bookings. Highly recommend.
Food nice quality. My main negative was the sound factor, couldn't hear yourself or others, the result was I wanted to leave as conversations hard.
Yummmy prawn and leaf special for entree and the Red Duck curry delicious, our favourite main. Lovely anniversary dinner with my husband. Was BYO too! We will be back.
Food delicious but serves on the small side considering the prices. Service very hit and miss,over an hours' wait between entrees and main in spite of of plenty of wait staff. ? problems in kitchen.
Galangal has something many other Perth restaurants don't..... Consistency with both food and service. Sometimes it's a little slow to get going, but once you are being looked after, relax. The small menu means all dishes are expertly done. We always leave Galangal anticipating our next visit. Overseas guests are always impressed. Please keep it up !!!!
I would Highly recommend ! Everything that we had was delicious . The service was good. I will definitely be going back again in the near future
It was good, but staff could have been smarter. Overall experience was good for a neighbourhood restaurant. Good Thai food, table for two seems a bit small.
Service was friendly and efficient. Music was quite loud and had to ask for it to be reduced. What we ordered were very tasty. A bit disappointed with the lack of variety in dessert
Another wonderful meal. A little on the pricey side but service and food quality is great and the chefs are very authentic with their dishes. One of the best Thai in Perth!
Brought my work colleagues this visit, they will all be making a return visit. The food was fresh and delicious, the staff were welcoming and attentive. Not my first visit, I will be back again soon.
Although we had booked for 6.30, the restaurant insisted the booking was for 7.30. The website states you can BYO but then they said we couldn't BYO and that the website had not been updated to reflect this. I ordered a glass of wine and was then told that the wine had run out. The waitress who served us struggled to understand our order and to explain the special. She must have been fairly new. The food was delicious and it arrived in a timely way.
The service was good overall, very nice decor and the food was very nice although a little small on the serves. Reasonably priced and will probably be back again
The food here was excellent, very authentic. The staff were very polite and attentive, which considering the whole place was very busy was a challenge.
Food was fantastic as usual and comes quick. Staff are always friendly too. It gets very busy so make sure you book in advance to get a table
Food was excellent. Service was good. Would recommend this restaurant The only thing is you can't BYO wine on fri and sat. They only had one Pinot to choose from. Luckily it is was ok.
We have been to this restaurant 4 times now and the food is amazing!!!! We will definitely be returning many more times. Best food ever!!
Lovely food. Probably a little rushed - in and out within an hour. Portions are far too small for the prices charged however. Because of this I probably wouldn't return in a hurry.
The food was great however the wine list needs more options. Service was good. Beef Carpaccio and Massaman Curry never disappoint. Will go back again.
Restaurant decor is beautiful very tasteful, service attentive, price reasonable. Food was good especially the roast duck red curry but the menu was not extensive. We ordered the fish cakes and money bags for entree both were well cooked and very tasty. We also ordered the barramundi which had nice flavours and a well cooked pad Thai noodle dish. Disappointing that alcohol is not byo on weekend. The wine we ordered which was a Pinot was out of stock so they recommended a substitute. The big let down was the acoustics in the place as the restaurant was full it was a case of having to shout to be heard as for some reason people in Australian restaurants seem to talk loud to the point of yelling. We had to leave after a certain point for somewhere quieter. The lady behind the bar/reception counter where I went to pay was extremely lovely and friendly. This only made up for the downsides of the evening so well done
The food was very good. The restaurant was busy, after being closed for a week or so over the Christmas break, and the staff were doing their best but they were stretched. Our orders came out in good time but the restaurant was very noisy and our party of 5 found it difficult to have a conversation.
Great decor, good service, quite popular. Food was quick, very tasty and enjoyable. If you like Thai you will love this. Overall a pleasant experience.
Delicious food, great service. My husband and I were just blown away by the taste of everything. We wished we lived closer so we could go there all the time
Had a great meal, so unpredictable the flavours left me guessing what was in it. Will definitely be going back for more soon. Take away menu is really good too.
Great food, great service and a great wine list. Perfect night for catch up with friends. Lots of parking outside so easy to access. Highly recommend.
Amazing Thai food, tasty and beautifully presented... a step above your local Thai take-away. Great value for money, good service and will definitely be returning here.
We arrived on time for our booking at 1900. The service initially for drinks was satisfactory. We were all looking at the menu deciding what to have and the waitress did not return. At 1945, which is three quarters of an hour later, we requested could they please take our orders. Whilst I appreciate they were busy for a Thursday evening the restaurant was not full. My husband ordered the chicken and cashews for the main meal and I had the soft crab - entrée size. When the meal was delivered my serving was for an entrée was what we expected but his was actually what you would expect for an entrée not a main meal, it was very small. We asked the waitress had they made a mistake and due to the language barrier she asked 'would you like some rice!!! Our complaint is the restaurant is expensive and to be charged $30.00 for a small serve as a main meal is not acceptable. We will not be returning.
Excellent food!! We had a really great experience at this great resturant. I go regularly and often take friends as I know the food is always up to standard.
