    the atmosphere is very nice, parking is very practical, right beside it, in the middle of gentrified Flon area. the food is okay, the service is okay. the prices are very high Second visit: before going to the movies with a group of friends, speaking and French, menus in both languages, service was lovely, food was good, prices are ok New visit on the terrace: nice quiet spot at the end of bustling Flon, sometimes looking for the waiting staff but food excellent. Healthy Swiss prices.

    Excellent service (lovely waiters) but the food was not great. The Panang curry was good but the Thai was very poor - completely lacking in flavour. We were generally disappointed by our visit.

    Very delicious soup (like pho) and they have a home made chili sauce ( delicious and spicy). Definitely recommended!

    One of the best Thai restaurants we have been to. The service was excellent, ambience was pleasant and the food was top class. Tom yum soup was mild but flavorful. Iron pot fish was spicy, as promised. Order the iron pot if you can handle the heat. Red curry was mild but packed with flavors. Do try the lychre jasmine iced tea. Extremely happy with the food and the service. Considering their excellent service and food quality, the prices are quite reasonable. A must visit if you like Thai food.

    Best place for Asian home sick but lack of option This place allows me to stop missing my home town food in Thailand. Although not traditional enough, but the chili sauce came in handy and saved the day. The service is casual but it’s perfect for family and single people. Absolutely would come back again.

    Very good thai food. The decoration of the restaurant is very beautiful, you feel you are at a very fancy place. Servers are very nice. Food is delicious. It is a little expensive but I think it’s ok for Lausanne.

    We were a group of 10 and in dire need of good Asian food in the Flon area. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with the kitchen and it took over an hour for our food to be served so that set a negative tone. The food was ok. The penang chicken was the most authentic option and we tried a range. The pad thai was more soy/fish sauce based than we're used to so that did not satisfy our craving. Our hungry table of patrons did not enjoy that dish and left most of it. Other diners in the restaurant seemed pleased with their dishes so perhaps we just didn't order the right ones. Server was friendly and felt badly we had waited so long.

    First of all: they explicitly say that the vegetarian/vegan options have fish sauce in them. This should be unacceptable in 2023 in Europe. The food was not particularly good, and it was rather expensive. Service: They forgot to being us a dish for one of us, so 2 people were eating and the other had to wait an additional 20 minutes because they wrote down the wrong order.

    Just one metro stop away from the train station. Pleasant ambience, comfortable seating, helpful and English-speaking crew, brisk service, huge portions, the biggest prawns I've seen in my life. The tom yum is more Malaysian/Singapore-flavored; the rest incl. chicken fried rice was outstanding. Well done and thank you for a lovely evening!

    As thai people i would say this is not real thai food.we ordered Pad Thai with chicken and what we got it wasn’t seem like Pad thai at all. We got a fried noodle and on top of chicken with teriyaki sauce. And we ordered beef in chili sauce or something and that was so salty. The waitresses were friendly and nice to sit but the taste wasn’t really good

    Ordered bubble tea with tapioca and spring rolls. This was the worst bubble tea I ever had :( it was not normal tapioca, and it tasted like it was spoiled. Spring rolls were okay, but I'm sad I wasted 7 chf on this disgusting Boba..

  • 3/5 Mike 1 year ago on Google
    Nice restaurant with good service and normal food. We tried the pad Thai and the bento and was only acceptable.

  • 4/5 Kath C. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice sushi and beautiful decor, gives you the impression of a very fancy place. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but the inside is really charming. I was a bit disappointed with the service. The waitress did not know much and was not too willing to advise when we asked for a component replacement, but after a long debate, she made it happen, so it worked out. But it is definitely a place to come back in order to try other dishes.

    Pad Thai was very bland. Fried noodles so so. Samosas were ok. Waiter was very good and friendly.

  • 3/5 Jason L. 1 year ago on Google
    Pho is good with a large portion of noodles and beef. Enough for 4 to share if you are ordering other food. Water is very pricey at 7.50 franc per 1litre bottle so we order 2 and it cost us 15 francs. On hindsight should have asked for tap water to save cost. Chicken satay sticks were ok, springroll is good and Phat Thai beef is ok. Overall very nice decor but need to be mindful of what you order as it is quite pricey.

    The place is lovely, has a nice atmosphere. The advised food by the staff is delicious and for a decent price. Totally recommend it.

  • 4/5 Dário C. 6 years ago on Google
    Plates in this restaurant have good quality and taste near Lausanne Flon metro station prices are hi but you will be served good, the only problem I found is that they translated all classic names to French that made difficultys to find what I liked in Asian restaurants.

  • 3/5 Alex M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food but the fact that you have to order the rice separately (and a very small portion) is quite annoying. A dinner for two comes at a high price so it doesn’t make sense to be so cheap on the rice portion.

  • 5/5 Claire Beck M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and great service - if you want it spicy ask for the homemade sauces

  • 1/5 Tara O. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't go here for bubble tea. The photo and description on Uber Eats are not true. They charge a whooping 8franc for a 2dl bubble tea and all of the "bubbles" are stuck together. They used to give a larger size for the same price!

    This restaurant was a surprise treat! The decor and ambiance were gorgeous. The food was amazing! The presentation and portions were wonderful. Thank you for taking care of my family!

👍 I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌
