    I was pleasantly surprised to know that this is a michelin star restaurant. Wasn't at all pricey for that Michelin star brand. Located right in the centre of Gent, this place was full on a Wednesday night. So much so, that we couldn't get any seating place outside. We ordered Mai tai and beer to start with it along with scampi wrapped in bacon. That was definitely a new combination for me. The sauce definitely elevated this dish. For main course, we got a Fried Dorade with a chilli and garlic sauce and a chicken stew with green curry! The highlight of the dinner was Fried dorade for me. It was crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The sauce was again delicious! Ordered our dishes spicy🌶️🌶️ and we did get it spicy enough🥵🥵 Just a super busy kitchen, so it took quite some time for our main course to come. We were waiting for almost 30-45 minutes for our meal. But would definitely love to visit this place again🤩🤩 Follow @masala_rush for more 👩‍🍳🍲🍕

    Great Thai! A little expensive but well worth it. They don't mellow down on their spices, so a chilli sign means it's pretty spicy ;)

    I do not believe this was Michelin Star (as stated by many) but Michelin Recommended (or Quality). Full course is the way to do it here. From Start to Finish it was balanced meal. They love lemongrass and so do I.

    Very tasty food at a very interesting neighborhood, Patershol. Average price per person : 40-50 €

  • 5/5 Anne B. 3 years ago on Google • 75 reviews
    Very tasty food in a nice location and with a great service. The curries are spectacular. So was the lemon grass soup. Pad Thai is ok, but could be tastier. Great selection of drinks. Very recommendable.

    High expectations, poor dishes. The menu is extremely expensive for what it offers. Small quantities and regular flavors. Not bad, not good. Pad Thai didn’t follow the traditional way of presentation and the taste was mediocre. The service was really slow. “Homemade” cake no comments.

    The quality of the food is good. However, the friendliness and attentiveness of the service staff leave room for improvement, even more so considering the prices.

  • 1/5 Ewa P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food with a very pure service! The waitress had such a bad attitude and made me feel very uncomfortable! The food though was very delicious but will not be looking forward to come back after all...there are many other places in Gent that offer both welcoming service and a great food.

  • 5/5 Alicja S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to eat delicious Thai dishes. Really recommend! If you want to go there during weekend it's better to make a reservation because it's always full.

  • 5/5 Jose V. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice surprise, not easy to find as is behind the popular street for restaurant, went with two colleagues and order degustation menu. They adapt it to our allergies, so we enjoy nice dinner. A discover for me, now I understand why Michelin star awards there

  • 1/5 Ramin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Stewed meat wasn’t soft enough. The service was not friendly, no dedicated waiter/waitress for our table. Too much pricy for what you get.

  • 2/5 Kristien Van de K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had dinner. Food is ok, but not exceptional. Service is unfriendly, on the edge of rude. Not customer orientated. There are better Thai restaurants, where the service is much better. I will not visit this restaurant anymore.

    Best Thai in town with very nice tofu marinated in coconut milk. Much better than baked as in most other Thai restaurants. Also, the cava is exceptional.

👍 Well maintained sports bar with so many activities. A bit challenging to locate for a first timer. Great atmosphere but 4 stars because the food was a bit disappointing. Burger could do with some seasoning.

👍👍 « Luxury fries 🍟 » and well it is quite expensive. But I’d say it is worth it at least once. It is the price for exceptional fries 😉. The fries were absolutely delicious, and well cooked.
