I enjoyed the experience and atmosphere here but they donโ€™t have photos of the dishes on their menu so you have to know what you are ordering and have prior knowledge of Thai dishes. I ordered a pork dish and I had no clue what I had ordered and was surprised when a massive hotpot arrived of Pork back bones (I expected slices of pork). The dinner opening hours are mainly for sharing groups as I only wanted a single dish for myself. I wish the staff had warned me upon ordering or there were visual photos of the dishes so I didnโ€™t order incorrectly. The staff were really nice but it does get busy here with a queue lining outside the door. Best to come with a group of 4-6 people.

An absolute hidden gem. Despite they were busy on 2nd Jan lunch, staff were still attentive to many tables and swift service. Tom yum noodle soup was good! Broth was nice and fresh. Boat noodle was also nice. Probably one of the closest thai style street food we have outside thailand and in down under.

Very popular venue. Long queue from 2nd floor entrance right to the ground floor outside. No booking available, just show up and queue. However, there are many tables and turnover is quick. Depending on your group size, we had 3 pax, so a table turned up in about 5 mins. If you're a fan of pork lard, the pork lard fried rice is to die for. Never seen such large size lards before, and the rice is full of it. The fried vermicelli (bee hoon) tasted authentically Thai, sweet and sour and savory all at the same time. Roasted chicken is very tender. Not a fan of the skewered pork, over on the sweet side.

Like the authentic hot and sour flavors in their food. Quite different from the Thai restaurants I have had in Australia, but was told that their food resembled the southern Thai style. The pork was beautifully marinated and grilled. Papaya salad dressing was surprisingly nutty. Crispy pork fried rice was delicious. Overall, had a good experience at the restaurant, though wishing the portion size could be more generous.

Ordered the boat noodles for lunch, but when it came out it looked more like Kuay Chap soup. Donโ€™t fool me, Itโ€™s not authentic Thai, but itโ€™s not bad either. Maybe I feel this way because Iโ€™m Thai and expect the real flavour Iโ€™m used to. Overall, it was still decent.
