    The food at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. As someone who has visited Thailand several times, I can confidently say that this restaurant is truly authentic. I enjoyed the food so much that I visited it twice during my 4-day stay in Cologne. The prices are fair, the service is good, and the cocktails are great. I would definitely go back to this restaurant again next time I visit Cologne!

    As an Asian, I found the flavor quite authentic. Plus, the price was really reasonable. I visited here twice in the two consecutive days. Highly recommended for the Messe visitors and expats! One thing to be noted: The food is probably not salty enough for most Germans though, but for me it tastes awesome. I strongly suggest Germans should bring their own salt to non-German restaurants.

    Its a really good place. I loved the food, i tried the curry chicken dish. Normally i dont like curry a lot, but this place made me like it. The cocktails are also really good, i tried zombie and really liked it (its a bitter and strong cocktail).

    Super tasty food with extremely professional and friendly service. Wonderful cocktails at a great price. Lunch menu is great value. You can ask for things to be made "Thai style" for a more authentic taste too. Amazing location on the Rhein. Can't wait to come back in the summer!

    Had chicken satay and green curry with fried duck. The chicken satay was tasty. The green curry wasn’t on the menu. It’s a recommendation from a friend. If you want to try it out, you can just tell the server that you want green curry instead of the red curry on the menu. It’s not spicy but quite sweet for me. Personally I didn’t like it so much. I prefer to have more strong aromatic curry flavor instead of coconut milk. But the fried duck was tasty and the amounts of duck were a lot (or at least more than enough for me.) Btw, we like to call the restaurant „zombie bar“ because their zombie cocktail is very strong and my boyfriend and his friends like it a lot.

    Can only say the food was good, there was a nice atmosphere, a very friendly service and everything in the restaurant looked clean. Would highly recommend and definitely go again for a lunch close to Hbf.

    This was a very bad experience for lunch. Pad thai with spoiled shrimps. The waiter said that they had better dishes that we should have ordered! Then we had to pay €40 instead of €25 that was on the menu. They refused to give us a receipt or bill. Never again for us in this UNFRIENDLY, BAD AND EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT

    Rude staff. We walked in and the Asian man gave us dirty looks. We asked if we could sit inside,he looked and nodded. None of the staff had any decency to even respond to a simple hello. Horrible people. Why are these people bringing their uncivilized behavior here? Don't bother going there. Also, a customer told us the food was horrible. We walked away

    The location is good. The food was okay. The service was a little bit sleepy, the waiter was chatting while I was looking at him and waiting him to take my order. The order they served my dishes was strange, the salad came long time after the rest of the food.

    The best 180 gr. Argentinian Rump Steak for only 12,90€ with french fries and mixed salad you can get in Cologne. [you can also order a bigger version 300 gr. Argent. Rump Steak for 14,80€ of cause] it’s really tasty and soft. Also nice Thai food, great cocktails, tasty wine, and fresh cold beer 0,5l for 3,50€ for fair prices. Nice place to sit outside and watch people (in the summer). Really Friendly and attentive owner and staff.

    Probably one of the few authentic Thai restaurants in Cologne. The good was good and the staff were friendly. Plus I really like the Thai music there.

  • 5/5 Andra N. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    We went in for dinner and really enjoyed the food. The beef in oyster sauce and the crispy duck in sweet and sour sauce were especially delicious ☺️

    Don’t go here. No quality and bad service. They push your appetisers and main meal together on the table and when ask not to do it they redo the same again.

    Food was ok, nothing incredible but cocktails were out of this world! I especially recommend their thai house recipes, amazing flavors and well served.

  • 1/5 Gavin T. 1 year ago on Google
    At first they messed up our order when I specifically said vegetarian. They were not apologetic about it and instead tried to say I didnt say vegetarian. The pad thai tasted like ketchup with noodles so it was bad. Wouldnotrecommend/10

  • 2/5 Naved A. 5 years ago on Google
    Disinterested folks. Waiter was in a hurry to take the menu card away. Phad Thai too sweet.

  • 4/5 Jee D. 5 years ago on Google
    We spent there a really funny moment! Lunch menu is till 4.00 for a <7€ Pad Thaï ! Not a huge portion nor the best one you’ll ever tried but more than enough when you take a few beers ! Great service as well!

    I have to say the service here is extremely poor! The waiter was very unfriendly. When I entered the store, the owner at the door didn't even look at me and talk to me.When I asked if I could order the lunch menu at 15: 30, the waiter just pointed to the menu without explanation and gave me a very bad look the whole time. When I pronounce the names of dishes in German “Händchen”, The waiter deliberately said the numbers in German“zweiundzwanzig”.When I also say numbers in German "fünfundzwanzig",The officer said "forty-five " in English.I asked in English, "We have two dishes now, right?"The assistant understood English and asked me "was?" in German.In short, you speak German, he speaks English, you speak English, he speaks German and pretends not to understand, the whole face is very bad, feel targeted.
