    fresh food made from scratch, maybe served out of order and may take a while but worth to come here. I did enjoy the boat noodles as a soup to dip the other food in. Worth a try!

    The best Thai restaurant I ever tried in HK. The rich flavour and authenticity of their food reminds me my short stay in Thailand. My friend and I were full enough w/ the main course but the sticky rice with mango is to die for, so how could we skip dessert? 😂😂😂 Staff are also friendly and pleasant in every way, like you are dining in at your own home. 💖

    Amazing Thai food. Best I’ve had in Hong Kong. Pad Thai with soft shell crab was outstanding and coconut ice cream - huge portion- was absolutely delicious. Great service - thank you 🥰😍

    This restaurant makes me very sad. The Thai food is excellent, best I have had in HK. However the kitchen can't handle busy periods. Anytime from 12.15-13.30 or 18.30-20.00 expect long wait times (at least an hour). So frustrating, I only come at 12 when they first open, it's the only way of getting your food in under an hour

    Decided to dine in here as we live nearby. My husband and I loved it very much. The food is authentic and I could taste the passion from the food itself. Our waitress, Mina was lovely and hospitable. She was attentive and honest about not ordering too much. The dishes here are great for 2-3 dishes to share between 2 people & maybe end with a dessert. Thank you. Valuable and delicious

    The food was decent with good portions of meat, vegetables and noodles. Staff were friendly and welcoming. A little small and squeezy but the feel of Thai music was good.

    Went here on a Saturday afternoon. The place is typically open at noon and has two sections. We sat at the front section which was about 3 tables. The back has a few more tables. This place is cosy and the staff are friendly. The good: - BBQ Chicken Thigh (Gai Yang) was absolutely delicious. - Thai Milk Tea wasn’t too sweet, unlike other places. - Great vibe - Friendly staff - Soup was oily but quite tasty The bad: - They could open half an hour or an hour earlier - Tom yum noodles was quite thick and the noodles soaked up the soup which made it even thicker and less appetising - Slightly pricey - Seafood in the tom yum noodles was slightly overcooked

    My favorite Thai in Hong Kong. Very pleasant peaceful place. Fantastic food (Super fresh fish, excellent salads), overall quite authentic. Only disappointment is the service can be quite slow (4 stars and not 5 because of it but clearly 5 stars for the food)

    Lunch special was lovely! Clear soup included and prices ranged from $77 hkd -$95 hkd. The Penang fish curry and morning glory and seafood pineapple fried rice were so lovely. We added even more spice. Then the mango milkshake was made with fresh mango. Would return! They have a buy one get one $48 coconut drink now too.

    Very limited veggie options - from the set dinner (~HKD 180 with a starter, main & desert) the could only adapt the Pad Thai (most things have fish / oyster sauce and area apparently pre-made. The waiter warned me that the Pad Thai without the oyster sauce wouldn’t taste very nice but it was actually quite tasty!

    Stumbled upon this spot as my choices were limited on Lunar New Year day and it turned out to be absolutely bangin! Everything we ordered was so delicious and perfectly spiced! My fav was the soft shell crab on top of the curry. The curry was so creamy and the roti was so good. The soft shell crab was a little salty but I don’t think to was supposed to eat both whole crabs at once. The papaya salad was also really good but a bit too spicy for me and the shrimps were super fresh! Service is a little slow but they are very busy and it is New Year’s Day. The mango sticky rice was really fresh too, the rice was still steaming! But omg the banana roti dessert took the spotlight. MUST HAVE. Perfectly sweet banana and slightly crispy roti

    Was a late lunch visit in mid Nov., A small Thai restaurant served by mostly Thai staff. Not particularly decorated, but the a la carte menu looks pricy (maybe because of its location). Ultimately the dishes are qte large, good quality too ! Ordered three main dishes (green curry, satay, pad see.lw, with three side dishes (fish cakes, salads), beers, can't finish all but some takeaway. Hv to say, compared with other Thai restaurants visited before, this one is 4 stars quality while others mostly 3/3.5 star, given spending @$200.

    Food was OK but the service was a bit rough especially from one waitress who pushed me to order. Environment wasn't relaxing.

  • 5/5 Alexander T. 1 year ago on Google
    After more than two years of not travelling outside of Hong Kong, I’ve been craving for good Thai food. This is the best Thai restaurant I’ve had in HK. The proportions are generous. The lunch is superb. It is simple food done very well. Will definitely come back.

  • 1/5 Brian L. 2 years ago on Google
    Service started good. But the order taken was incorrect so got the wrong food. The food is very average, particularly for the price. Takeaway box was hkd5 too, which i guess is due to the type which is more environmentally friendly, but it doesn't close firmly and leaked everywhere (tried closely it after realizing it leaks but it didn't help). Would question if their ingredients are flown fresh daily from Thailand too - it's stated in the placemats..

    Outstanding! Spectacular food and amazing service. After ordering a takeaway for the first time, we had a small logistical issue that was promptly addressed. The way the staff handled and solved it was absolutely memorable and I strongly appreciate their kind and professional attitude. One of the best thais in town for sure. Will definitely continue to order and strongly recommend! Every dish was superb and genuine!
