    Great Thai place in Reservoir serving some their favorites and some dishes that are not so common. They have a feed me opt-in for $40 or you can opt in for a la carte dining. The menu is available via the QR codes in the table to order directly from your phone is you can order traditionally this one of the staff members.

    Came here due to recommendations and was so pleased with our food! We got the pad see ew, pad thai, barramundi curry and green curry. Everything was so flavoursome and great quantity to share with 4. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere is buzzing! Highly recommend

    Amazing food. We ordered the sour fish curry which was full of flavour and spicy. The vegan pad see ew noodles was the standout, will definitely re-order this again. The prawn dumplings were delicious but wish you got more for the price. Also the red wine was perfect. Lovely little hidden gem (which isn’t so hidden because it was packed!)

    It's been 2 years since we ate here. After visiting Coburg, we decided to have dinner here. The menu has changed, and unfortunately they no longer have veggie pad thai. A bit disappointing. However they do have other gluten free options on the menu. The sticky chicken wings and barramundi curry was delicious.

    Put it this way, it is an experience one should have if you love food. It’s not a place where you go and stuff your stomach. At the end of the feast, try their black rice pudding but do not forget to squeeze lime on it. Green curry chicken was my fav. Calamari was also commendable. Try the place, you won’t be disappointed.

    Found this place purely through google maps. An establishment that would be well in place in the more trendy inner city suburbs and would still more than hold its own. We had the Spring Rolls, Massaman curry and the Pad Thai. These established dishes were absolutely top on the range delicious, great quality and honestly one of the best Thai/Asian fusions I’ve had in a saturated market. Would highly recommend going here and worth the cross town travel if you’re not a local!

    Great atmosphere, lovely staff but it's more thai fusion than traditional thai. Which for many is awesome, i just like heaps of fish sauce. That said the chive cake was to die for

    Hidden gem in Reservoir. Food is delicious! Staff are extremely friendly. We loved the Massman beef curry. A+

    This is a great addition to the area. I had friends from the UK over and we were all really impressed. Do the chef's choice feast. Huge portions unique dishes all highly recommended. Eat late, it is pretty busy during the earlier services. Staff were a bit blunt initially, by soon warmed once the chaos calmed.

    Cosy little spot for tasty Thai food. If you're planning to eat in, bookings are essential. Staff are friendly, it seemed to be a family run place but it can get loud and a bit cramped. The food was amazing though so worth a visit. We loved: sticky chicken wings, calamari, massaman beef, the green chicken curry and the papaya salad. Wasn't crazy about the Pad Thai as it was a bit more lemon flavoured than I prefer.

    Unbelievable food and drink for incredible value. Had the feed me option, and every dish was delicious with no fillers. Ordered a bottle of sparkling, which was generously upgraded when the bottle ordered was out of stock. Service is attentive and friendly. Vibe is good. Loved it.

    Love the food, vibe, service - everything about this place. We are vegetarians and always struggle with lack of variety everywhere we go but this place had so much to offer. We took their banquets and it was del-icious. Highly recommend. It’s cosy, warm and welcoming with such an amazing chef. Kudos to him especially for maintaining consistency and high quality.

    The Golden Peanut definitely had some golden grade thai food! Modern and Australian fusion. Not too spicy and beware of the portion of the rice - Its huge! My fav was their beef massaman curry!

    Been a local I’ve walked past this place numerous times and never noticed it. I went to try it tonight and was kind of blown away. I feel that this is a super nice spot to take your partner as it has a great vibe and ambience about it. We had barramundi green curry followed by coconut peanut rhubarb desert. I was left kind of shocked at the food being as good as it was. I can see why it has the rating that it does. I’ll add that the staff are lovely. You might need to ring in advance to grab a table as we were lucky to have one as a walk in. Give this place a shot if you’re feeling like some Thai.

    Honestly the food is so flavoursome. It is the hands down the best food I’ve had at a restaurant. Ever dish is delicious. The staff were lovely. I went with some friends and we all loved it. 100% will be going there regularly. Loved it :)

    Such delicious food! The massaman curry was excellent, as was the chive cake, but the stand out was the pomelo slaw salad. Incredible balance of zesty flavours and textures.

    Delicious! Fresh and tasty authentic Thai food!

    Best Thai food I’ve ever had. Amazing value for money for such immaculate food. Lovely small family run restaurant, my new favourite in Melbourne!

    Believe the hype. Every dish was delicious. Service amazing. Beer good. The chive cake went hard, the curry noodle beef special was mint, the jungle curry a winner. Will be back
