    The best Thai food in the Eastern suburbs! The Thai Green Chicken Curry is an outstanding highlight on their menu and probably the best I have ever eaten, including in Thailand. I highly reccommend this restaurant if authentic, flavoursome Thai food is your thing. We ordered 2 entrees, two mains and two sides and could find no fault in anything. Absolutely delicous and can't wait to come back.

    We received a voucher so decided to use it, I told them it was an anniversary dinner and found a note on the table with chocolates a nice touch. The menu was delightful, the tamarind prawns was delicious as a starter. The chilli jam stir fry with chicken was yum,though it could do with less carrots. The crispy pork belly had just the right amount of heat. All in all we throughly enjoyed our meal and experience. A special thankyou to the wait staff for making our night special.

    The most divine modern Thai food we have had in Victoria. We were greeted and served by the most beautiful, kind, attentive staff. The whole ambiance was really comfortable and relaxed. Just really lovely.
