We've eaten here as a couple, a family and in a large group, and we've never been disappointed! Service is quick, portions are generous, and really tasty. We've been with a family member who has an allergy, and they were very accommodating. Don't leave it to the last minute to book, or you'll be disappointed.

Must have's:
Entree: Full Moon (deep fried, but OH so worth it!)
Main: Mixed Grill, Soft Shell Crab with green peppercorns.
Drink: Lychee Vodka w/ soda - YUMM!!

I went here with a friend who had been here many times before and raved about it. Needless to say, she was as disappointed as I was. It was about 45 minutes before they arrived with a wine cooler for my BYO white wine, and by that stage it was quite warm. We were seated like sardines in a can, with barely enough walk room between tables - we were seated in a corner behind a wall, where getting waitstaff's attention was quite difficult.
The mixed entrees we ordered had dry and char-grilled chicken, and the curry puff was a mushroom puff, with no curry flavour and packed with mushrooms.
The mains were just as bad, with mushrooms as the main vegetable (was there a special this week?????) and only a scattering of other vegies. My curry had a MASSIVE chunk of potato that would have required knives to chop up. Not a very plesant experience.

What a disappointing experience for you and your friend! I probably will never try this place out based on your review.

This is an amazing Thai restaurant - very authentic. We just came back from Thailand and I feel this restaurant captures the very best of all dishes from the whole country. The service of course is true Thai style - excellent.

Approximate cost: $27.00

I loved the money bags! The 'australianised' dish names and flavours is probably not a great idea because it takes away from traditional thai favourites. But great atmosphere inside and outside, big servings, and huge selection to choose from.
