Been here at least half a dozen times and they're yet to disappoint. The food is glorious, tasty, fresh and always plentiful. The prices are more than reasonable BUT you have to book because they do get busy. My only gripe with this place is the size. I'm sure if they moved to a larger location they'd have the same problem lol.

A friend and I went here last night (Friday) at about 7pm and although they were fully booked with reservations they managed to sqeeze the two of us in.

We were expecting good things especially after several very positive recomendations. We were promptly seated and given the menus, after a few minutes we decided on the Pork Toast for entree and to share a Thai Beef Salad and ViPa's Special Noodles.

The pork toast came out quickly, was crucnhy delicious and hot out of the deep frier. A fresher style of accompanying dipping sauce might have been a better option as it needed something to balance out the lashings of fat, nuttiness of the sesame seeds and destinctive prok flavour- YUM!

The beef salad was "OH MY GOD delicious" and with generous servings of tender beef, fresh mint, coriander, chilli, tons of fresh veges and the sauce was balanced perfectly. I think we required a tad more chilli but I guess they were catering to us westerners.

The noodle dish was nice but I found it a bit sweet and again needed a bit more heat. Notwithstanding that, it was generous in size, freshly prepared, had a generous amount of chicken andcame out very fast.

The service was efficient but when I enquired as to what the "Asian Drinks" were on the menu, I was directed towards the fridge (squished between a wall and a large group), I attempted to have a look but felt a little awkward sticking my bum in peoples faces trying to figure out what was in there (fridge light off or broken) so I settled with table water. But hey, they even bought out cold water wthout being asked, another big plus in my book!

All up our bill for 2 people was less than $40 so we were pretty happy. This will definitely be my new Thai takeout place!

Approximate cost: $15-20

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but the food in general is really really nice. I had Tom Yum entree and it was the best I've had because there was a big range of veges included. The spring rolls weren't so great. The mains we had (4 people) were all fantastic, we couldn't fault them, again lots of fresh crunchy vege's unlike lots of other restaurants who just have 2 or 3 different vege. What let this restaurant down the most was their lack of vegetarian meals, both my parents are vego's and whilst they loved the food there were limited options so they wouldn't go back there too many time as they'd have to have the same thing over and over. Also service was ok, nothing outstanding. Ie ordered a drink then had to ask for it again as the entrees came out before my drink (and it was just a drink to be taken out of drink fridge). All in all would certainly go back here for the food, they do take-away as well. Reasonably prices as well!

Approximate cost: $15
