“Quaint small restaurant with a good atmosphere. Food was great. We really enjoyed our evening here and would definitely recommend this to other people.

They also offer takeaway food which is good to know for my next visit to the Kapiti Coast.”

“Food was fantastic, good range of choices in the menu, starters, mains and desserts. Highly recommend the Chicken Satay skewer mains and Deep Fried Ice Cream dessert. Staff regularly checked on you so you never feel unattended or missing something. Outdoor seating was really enjoyable especially in Spring, nice and warm arranged in a way where the wind breaks. View is otherwise obstructed by overgrown plants and vehicles.”

“The staff were very pleasant, polite and smiling. The food was delicious with generous proportions. I had the prawns and others had pork and the Dynamite Chicken. Prawns were presented nicely and had tails on, and stir fried, medium spicy was not very hot. I don't like deep fried food, but others who had the Dynamite Chicken enjoyed it. They said medium spice was not hot either.”

“Great food. They make their own sauces and the entrees are clearly hand made. We loved the money bags with fresh herbs and the Tom yum took me straight back to Phuket. Real authentic Thai, not your usual cookie cutter”
