Very tasty food and service. Drawing materials for children are much appreciated, so are the birthday balloons! A bit on a pricey side for Thai food, but its worth it!

The food and service was amazing. We went as a couple - but I think it's more suited to a group as the loud atmosphere doesn't really work for romance.

What a great lunch we had. The food was beautiful and the service was exceptional. If you could give the review a 10, i would, but 6 is the highest possible. Can't wait to come back. the duck salad was delicious, but so was everything we had.

Amazing service. Wonderful food. We had a few cocktails, 2 entrees and three mains between two of us. Downloaded their app and got 10% off the bill, it was $115 with the discount (I think over $50 of this was on drinks though). Whilst it is not the cheapest Thai around, we had a great experience, and enough leftovers to take home for lunch and dinner the next day.

Mains were good. However, the dessert wasnt great. We had deep fried coconut and jackfruit ice cream. The pastry was a bit thick and the ice cream did not have much coconut flavor.

It is quite remarkable that one of the busiest Thai restaurants in Sydney is also the best. To maintain the high quality and extremely high level of service despite being full every night (that is, run off their feet) is amazing. The staff are awesome and always find a way to seat you as fast as possible. Outstanding.

The service was very good - the staff are very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent - we had the red duck curry and chicken pad se ew. Receiving the gift shop dollars was great for our friend from Melbourne who was able to buy her two children a little Thai gift. The only feedback is that the restaurant is so busy it can be hard to hear each other speak.
