It was a surprise coming here and not finding the place with the good reviews I wanted to try. It seems this is a new place and I gave it a try anyway. The service was prompt and the meal delicious, nothing to complain about it. And I have to say I always tried pad Thai in different places, and this might be one of my favourites.
Came here after hearing so much about it. The food was actually nice and was served pretty quickly. However, the service by the single gentleman waiting was sub par. He was not warm or welcoming and appeared to just want to get the job done. I would recommend booking during peak hours.
Had lunch as a group then we ordered Chef’s specials: Grilled marinated fish fillet and crispy soft shell crab. The fish melted in the mouth and the Pandan leaves aroma was amazing. Soft shell crab was good and its sauce was a star (crunchy and refreshing)! We also had grilled chicken which was juicy and the sauce was so good. The Pad Thai we had was seafood and it was delicious, absolutely loved it! Last but not least, the thai red curry. The spices in it was not overpowering, it was light, savory, and perfectly matched with rice.
We found it really tasty and great service including a little free starter. The food was hot and delicious with generous portions. The papaya salad was extremely spicy though it was really nice and fresh, so heads up!
Been here twice and will definitely come again for a cozy dinner on weekday. This restaurant does not charge service fee but the service is alright. Food is fairly priced and the dining environment looks hygienic. If you are looking for some comfort food after a busy day, green curry with coconut rice here will not let you down.
Nice restaurant, bright yet cosy with some interesting decor. Service was nice and friendly, and you get a small bite of complimentary prawn toast with sweet chilli jam. We had Por Pia Sod (fresh rolls stuffed with prawn, avocado, mint, cucumber, carrot & coriander), and Hoy Shell Neung (steamed scallops served with spicy lemon sauce) - both very well presented and decent. Then, Geang Massaman Geak (traditional thai massaman curry, with lamb, potatoes, onions and peanuts) - which was excellent - very tender lamb, and Chicken Pad Thai - which I found a little bland and geared towards a British crowd rather than traditional street food style. Overall a very nice experience
It is Awesome Thai! Really good flavoursome food. If you are Vegan then options are limited but waitress did help out to navigate the menu as most dishes contain fish sauce or it is fried in the same oil as meat. Highly recommended especially tryout their papaya salad, simply refresh full of flavour of Thailand! Oh and it does get busy so might have to wait a while for service.
