SAWASDEE KHA,

The flavours of Thai cooking are easy to identify: Lemon Grass, Fish Sauce, Coriander, Galangal, Garlic, Sweet Basil and Coconut Milk; all combined to make a harmonious and unforgettable experience, as is its aesthetics.

With its philosophy of decorated dishes, beautifully set out in small groups, accompanied with exquisite vegetable carvings and complemented with tiny bowls of clear soup steaming beside communal pots of fluffy fragrant rice. All elegantly placed together to be served in the manner for sharing.
Thai food is known for its diversity as each dish reflects heavily upon its geographical origins, thus by drawing upon these influences we can create stunning culinary masterpieces.

We had to wait a long time to place our order. There was plenty of staff and it was not full when our party arrived. Nonetheless, the food was tasty and plentiful. The mocktails were delicious and I was informed the wines were nice too. Overall, a good meal.

Had to leave a review, as I can't understand at all, why the ratings aren't fantastic. I've been here at least 5 times, I have a Thai restaurant right next door to me, and I drive here because it's the best. I can only assume that people aren't really reviewing when they have great experiences, only when they're unhappy about something, but don't let that deter you... The food is delicious 😋 I always go for a red or green curry, which is super flavoursome along with the coconut rice. I Always change up the starters, this time I had the platter starter and OH MY GOD I loved it! So good, definitely think I need to get it again, my favourites were the skewers, just delicious. I've also had dumplings and various other things and I've never been disappointed. I can't comment on the desserts, as I don't get dessert, but the cocktails are lovely! And they have an extensive list to choose from. I've never had any complaints about the staff, they're always well prepared (never under staffed) attentive, informative, friendly and just generally very helpful. I'm what you would probably call a difficult customer, as I don't like certain things and have to change a lot of dishes and they've always treated me well and looked after me, never made me feel like a nuisance. Once I forgot my takeaway box, as I couldn't finish my meal, and I realised after they closed, I actually wanted to cry because the food was sooo good. I can't rate them high enough, go and see for yourselves! Thank you to the whole team, especially the manager as you're all just fantastic xxx

Thoroughly disappointed with the food. So let's start with things that were good, as the list is not long. The Thai Chili Martini was nice (not sure what it should taste like, as I never had it before). The Tom Kha Gai was ok, considering the fact that I had to settle for it, as they did not have Tom Yum Gai. Not their fault. However, the rest of the food was terrible. The prawns in the Thai Dumplings which my wife ordered, were rubbery and smelt off. This is what happens when frozen prawns are used. I could smell that the prawns had gone bad. I asked for the dumplings to be taken back and ordered a second Tom Kha Gai for my wife. The Massamun Lamb gravy tasted like a generic thick soup. The lamb pieces were stale and just boiled. This is what happens when boiled meat is mixed with a stock gravy and then heated up. I cut open a piece of lamb and showed my wife that the inside of the meat was still brown. A good Massamun lamb would have lamb pieces which are soft and they would have the gravy soaked in. This was chewy and tasted salted boiled meat. I still ordered a dessert thinking things would pick up. But no, the mango sticky rice was just not that tasty. The mango slices were ok, but the stick rice pudding was not that tasty. The bill did not reflect the food quality. I used to come to this place a daily basis, as my work place was literally next door from it. This was nearly 10 years ago. When I booked my lunch, I expected that they had kept up their quality. Unfortunately this was a disappointment, and I won't be coming back here again.

Nice ambiance, staffs are attentive, helpful and friendly. However, we found the Thai ice tea and Pad Thai are way too sweet than it should be. My friend and I couldn’t stand the sweetness of the Pad Thai that we end up have to return it after two bites. The manager was nice, understanding and willing let us return it without any problem. The restaurant it right by the dock. We had a seat by the window which was nice. I wish the taste of the food can be improved as I see it as a nice restaurant with good service.

Mid-week birthday lunch. Very quiet, nice view by the water, lovely decor, good service, delicious food, short wait and well presented. Quality classic cocktails. Ordered a desert for a birthday celebration which came out with a sparkler candle and personalised message around a large brownie, perfect. The area where the restaurant is located appears to be under road construction at present (Aug 2023) so driving and parking there was a bit tricky - this might improve in time. Next door to City Hall slightly tucked away. We will definitely return there.
