    We showed up 45 minutes before closure of the restaurant abd stafd was very accommodating. Delicious authentic Thai food, with vegetarian options. Looks like run by a family and thus maintains the warmth. Fine decor to create a boat scene. Asian hospitality and smile. Keep it up . Definitely recommended

    Not bad Thai food for Belgium. Missing the lemongrass and galangal. Great friendly service. Well recommended.

    Fantastic food! The best Thai food I've ever had, and at a reasonable price, you can really enjoy the mixture of tradition spices without being overwhelmed by garlic or too much heat from the chillies. The staff are friendly and everything is clean. Can't wait to visit again.

    Food tasted great although level of spice was nowhere near what we have come to expect from Thai food. Most if not all of the food had a sweet taste which I am not fond of. I suppose that it caters to the local population. Works well as takeout but if you are searching for authenticity then you will have to go elsewhere.

    Delivery time could be greatly improved. We ordered and were told it will arrive at 20:50h. Its 21:55h and we are still waiting. No one picks up our calls and according to their timetable, they close at 22h. So I guess we won't be getting any food. Not right!! Update: food arrived at 10:30 and they also returned our money. Still unhappy but Food tastes good 😃

    We ordered food from Takeaway.com. Everytime delivery time has gone worst. 75-80 mins for food delivery within Zaventem is too much. They don't answer phone for order information, goes all the time on voicemail.

    Excellent service and friendly staff. Wide selection of Thai food with large portions. Food was very tasty. Place is a bit noisy when the restaurant is busy. Prices are very reasonable. Recommended if you like Thai food.

    Staff is friendly and multilingual, and the atmosphere was good, but we tried the discovery menu, and it was rather lackluster. €32/person is quite overpriced for some deep-fried starters, pad Thai, noodles, and fried vegetables. A cup of coffee or tea was included as well. Honestly, only the pad Thai was good on this menu. It was delicious (it was served in a hollowed out pineapple, which added a lot to the flavor), and it had more than enough portions for 2 people. But the rest of the dishes were quite underwhelming in terms of portion size and general taste (not great, but not downright bad either). This menu was also awkward to eat because each dish was served on individual plates shared between us, with no additional food thongs or cutlery, so we had to use the cutlery we used to eat to grab portions onto our own plates. I'm not a messy eater, but my side of the table was quite messy because food constantly fell off and dropped on the table while trying to grab a portion. Judging from all the other reviews and pictures posted here, I think we would have had a better time if we just ordered individual dishes à-la-carte instead. Some other small details: serving time took a bit longer than we had expected (especially considering that we came in quite early and there weren't that many other customers coming in throughout the evening), and the menus (as in, the physical menu where you choose dishes from) were very greasy. I immediately felt the need to wash my hands after handling them. The toilets are upstairs, but the corridor upstairs was very dimly lit and has a big Buddha statue. It honestly gave me the creeps each time I had to go to the loo.

    We ordered the menu for two. Highly recommended. Really delicious. The ambiance was special, looks and sounds like you are on a boat. Service was very nice and prompt.

    I tried other nearby thai places and I came back here again. Pad thai is good! Thai chefs are cooking here. Service is very friendly. Takeaway can be ordered in advance for the pick up. Highly recommend.

    good portion and delicious, very friendly staff

  • 2/5 Stephane B. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly and helpful staff, the suggested (Portuguese) wine was good, the dessert banana-loemqpia and the house cocktail were excellent. The positive elements stop there unfortunately. We had the "discovery" menu, and it was not up to par. The most satisfying part of the appetizers was the peanut-sauce (which I hope was home-made). The main dishes were lacklustre: rice overcooked, noodles overcooked and 2 shrimp per capita in a scampi&pineapple dish. A pity, because the flavour was present. We will not be returning to this restaurant, but we wish everyone else willing to try a better experience given the effort of the staff.

    Excellent service, some of the best Thai I've ever had in my life. Very tasty.

    If you alone you don’t get a place to eat. They tell you almost aggressive that they are full, even though they are not.

  • 5/5 Tim G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very tasty and there's a lot of choice on the menu. The quick and friendly service only added to the experience. The restaurant itself has a very nice theme all throughout and is worth a visit just for the feeling of going down the river.

    Excellent food and service... Fried rice seafood and chicken... Two thumbs up...

  • 5/5 Abdulla Al M. 4 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience it was. The staff were amazing & attentive at all times. We tried few dishes & the were all great. Starting with the Starters (Chicken & Shrimps Spring Roles) and the Tum Yum Soap 🌟 The main dishes were also amazing, we ordered the veggie fried rice which was one of the best I ever tried & the Bead Curry which was great also. This won’t be the last time I visit this place for sure.

    Very friendly staff, the food is good but for some reason the cook cant respect my none spicy request, happend three times in a row for some obscure reason.

  • 5/5 Mallika G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice Thai food! We ordered vegetarian dishes; Pad Thai noodles and yellow curry with rice. Both were good and had lot of vegetables. The service was super quick And friendly. Would definitely go again!

  • 5/5 Simon H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice food, very fast delivery, highly recommend. We had a curry and a wok dish, both were tasty and big portions. You get an extra 10% if you order by calling the restaurant directly instead of using deliveroo or takeaway.com.

    Placed an order for delivery... the order was supposed to arrive in 35 min... called after 1 hour of it not arriving and was told that it was on the way and get to me in 10 min. Called 1hour and 30 minutes mark... told to wait again 15 minutes and it will get to me... finally my food arrived after almost 2 hours... barely warm and we had to microwave the food to eat it ... spent €62.50 for cold food and almost a 2 hour delivery... ridiculous.... will not order again!!!

🫤 This is not fast food. I mean that you don't get your food fast at all. It could be that after a long day staff were tired since it was late in the evening anyway. Food itself was okay! 🤷‍♂️
