    Food and service was amazing, my new favourite thai place! Was a bit loud and busy, but I guess that is reflective of how popular the place is.

    The service was fast and efficient. Food was absolutely amazing from the presentation to the smell and the taste. The restaurant is stunning and provides a wide range of choices including foods and cocktails. Would highly recommend for an anniversary or birthday and staff will accommodate to help you celebrate. Would also recommend for a quiet dinner with a few friends or family with meals to share!

    Good service and delicious food. Lunch Set menu with many choices. The portion of stirfried noodles is a bit too small. Overall is good.

    Outstanding food and service. Beverages and food delivered promptly. Great atmosphere with adjustable lighting and very comfortable seating. Fantastic for intimate dinner or parties. Portions very generous. Authentic spice/heat and flavour to die for.
