This restaurant was just around the corner of my stay. Didn't have a good experience with 2 other Thai restaurants I tried some time back. This one just hit the right notes for me. I tried Thai red curry with medium spice levels(which doesn't come with rice had to order separately), which should be good for 2 light eaters. I am going back for more for sure. Like some other reviews mention, they could have a combo option for solo travellers. The place is bit cramped, I was bit early so didn't have problem finding a seat. Definitely recommend for those Thai food lovers.

Oh boy where should I start. We visit them today me and my 2 young kids and we order quite a few thing and one of that was fried rice for my kids. They brought the plate and we saw REAL ANTS CRAWLING for real. We showed it to the server and she said oh might be because of the flower on top. We said we understand but they are crawling on rest of the rice as well. She took the plate and came back in 2 MINS after removing the ants with a spoon and bring back the same rice for my kids. They have the AUDACITY TO make an eye contact and saying no we removed the ants with a spoon. Whattttβ¦. Good knows what the do behind closed doors. I am terrified of this place. Disgusting

Little and cozy place so feel like home. Food is tasty and served quick. The green curry is almost $30 but it's a super big portion, good for two people. Wish they have the entree size suiting solo traveler like me.

This place is the bomb! Fantastic Thai food. It's probably some of the best we've experienced. The food is off the chart good, try the cheeky chefs beef curry and chicken cashew! You won't be sorry. The staff are super helpful and really friendly. It literally is a nook! Not much space, but we'll worth the visit. Reasonable price for such high quality. They do take away as well. Knock yourself out!

A small cosy eatery with an upstairs area to dine in as well. We decided to eat there based on previous reviews and the food was outstanding. The lamb shank massaman and cheeky beef curry was truly excellent. This restaurant is perfect for small groups of 2-6 people.

We had a table booked and were asked to leave before we had even finished our drinks because the next table arrived half an hour earlier than expected. Generally you should tell the next booking that their table is not ready yet instead of kicking people out early (especially as we weren't told there was a booking even after us and didn't know of a time restriction at all and we're only there for not even an hour). The food and drinks were expacially expensive for this service. Not impressed.

Duck red curry 10/10, tofu red curry 9.5/10 (duck red curry has really fantastic flavour and tofu red went down 0.5% after trying duck one). Really cosy little place and the food is excellent. Will be coming back.

I'd rate this one of the top Thai meals I've had for a long time. tiny place, intimate to a high degree, one fabulous woman serving tonight. she must have been crazy busy but we never felt rushed or stressed. as for the food... the main reason for the visit after all...6 people all deeply satisfied. a red curry tofu, a tofu pad thai, a red beef curry, two Massaman lamb shanks, and Chiang Mai pork. each and every one delightful and individual. beautifully presented, well priced, but above all Damn Fine Food. thank you.
