    The food here is great. But the place is just a rip off with mediocre service standards. The waitress was very nice, don't get me wrong, but the dishes cost 17 Euros which is quite pricey, and when I went for the first time I ordered one curry dish and got one bowl of rice to eat with it. The second time I went, I ordered two curry dishes (we were two people) and got the exact same bowl of rice (same as the one portion curry) and when we ordered another bowl of rice for the second curry they charged 3.50 for the "extra" bowl which should just be standard. Absolutely ridiculous--there should be one portion of rice for one portion of curry. Another story: The first time I went, I ordered tap water without ordering another drink. Totally fine, we got our tap water and had our food. The VERY next day, we tried ordering tap water with our food and were forced to order a drink from the menu. They would not give us tap water despite having done so the previous day. I find this a bit ridiculous, but if that's your restaurant policy, fine. But you can't flip flop on your service offerings from one day to the next and allow it one day and then not the other. There were a few other instances like this, and it's just clear they try to trick you constantly into spending more money, which just ruined my evening when we went there.

    The best Thai food I have ever eaten. I had the duck in red curry and it was superb with some unexpected tasty ingredients. Lovely personnel too.

    Very tasty food. Nice waitress. Card was limited for vegans, but at least there was something without animals. Would have preferred brown rice. The spring rolls really were exquisite.

    I ordered Som Tum Salad and Pad Thai Goong for take away and I didn't have to wait for long for my order to be finished. Taste wise, I think the food is very authentic and close to the one I tried in Bangkok. I wish they have a mango sticky rice as well, that will be perfect! Also the restaurant crews are very nice and friendly. Very recommended and will be back again!

    The food and atmosphere are great. Service was a little slow (granted, we were there on a saturday evening). Its a small and cozy restaurant. The staf are friendly.

    Not a very big restaurant but very cozy, great atmosphere, superb food (our first time there) and great service with some extra attention from the owner to make sure everything is good.

    I can‘t say if the food was good because I did not get to try it but I am sure it is amazing. However we tried to get a table and we did not have a reservation unfortunately (on a saturday, which is to be fair quiet risky). As we asked for a table the person was not very client oriented and did not make it work, even though we would have been willing to come back later.

    We had food with our 1,5 year old twins. Very friendly staff and lovely to our children. Food and white wine were very tasty. Only the chicken cashew nut was too spicy, we didnt see at the menu.

    Great food! Had great spice levels too. I wish the service was a bit more attentive, but definitely still good service. Will definitely eat again

    Amazing Thai Food! One of the best Thai restaurants we have ever eaten in the Netherlands & Belgium. Not very known in Leeuwarden, but definitely worth a visit! Great chef, good service!

    Great Thai food! I'd recommend eating in if you are a local! The shrimp and mushroom soup I had before eating was really delicious, also if you're not into heat they have options that aren't spicy. I had fried duck in red curry as my main and it has a lot of layers to the flavour. I had a Singha to wash it all down with, which is a Thai lager, it was recommended by the waitress and I really enjoyed the beer!
