    Visited this restaurant 2 times for dinner during my stay in PV. Have duck curry + steam rice in day1 and tom yum + steam rice + springrolls in day2. Food is delicious and the view during sunset also excellent.

    Truly a good Thai foods restaurant in Port Vila. If not mistaken here they serve buffet on every Wednesday. The price is reasonable with just 3000vatu. For a la carte menu, the prices are generally expensive to all restaurants in Vanuatu. Average 2500vatu per person for your information if you are with budget. The view from the restaurant is stunning, with both indoor and outdoor seatings.

    This was a surprising find. The Thai was really tasty. Ginger beef was spot on with taste. View was beautiful. The pad Thai was a hit. As always service with the smile. Satay was no street Satay but still chicken grilled over coals so pretty spot on. Late afternoon relaxing with some cold beers what a top spot. Worth a visit.

    As Thai as it gets this side of the Pacific. Exceptional and authentic green curry and Thai fried rice. Had a nice fresh coconut cocktail to accompany this. We had an entree, a main and the rice dish - enough for two. Highly recommend a meal here.

    This place has the view, but lacks the vibe. The food is made with love from fresh ingredients. The staff were friendly, but somewhat disengaged. Not bad alternative if you are craving Thai cuisine, but not sure if worth the $.

    The best food place in Vanuatu! Tastes like you are in Thailand with all Of the flavours 👌 my wife and I had the pad Thai and the red curry prawns - we had mild and that packed a punch 👊 still amazing! If after hot- mild will get you there :)

    The food here is great, as well as the service. I’ve so far tried their papaya salad, pad se eu, honey chicken and sweet and sour pork, and they’ve all been delicious. Their prices are very reasonable and they have a wonderful view of Port Vila. Sorry I forgot to capture the food in the pics 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Food is just superb,superb. Just a piece of advice, the pot of fried rice is a lot, but de...licious. The satay chicken was excellent. My wife said that there might be a master chef in the kitchen.

    Book a table with a sunset view if you want to guarantee an unforgettable view with your amazing Thai curry and friendly service. The food comes in island time but this gives you time to enjoy the views and your company :). Couldn’t recommend enough, regularly come back.

    10/10 incredible quality food. The meat is succulent, veggies cooked perfectly with a little crunch, sauces are full of flavour. We went twice and had the satay chicken skewers, pad see ew, tamarind duck and pad Thai. Yum!!

    Just avoid this place. Terrible service, unbelievably long waiting time and despite being "very humble" a pad Thai will cost you more than 30 aud. The meat in the meat salad was dry and chewy, same for the bbq chicken. Honestly, just avoid this disgusting place and go to stonegrill in front of it. For the price of a pad Thai, there you can grab a Tuna sashimi and it also comes in a big portion.

    Arrived around 8pm, got strongly recommended buffet immediately before being seated. We weren’t given menus, so we went to the buffet as recommended but half the dishes were already finished. I raised this with waitress who said more were coming. Waited half hr and only one dish was replenished. Decided to cut our loses, pay the full bill and leave. Paid 2900 vatu ea ($35 aud) for 3/4 full plate for me, 1 plate for my partner and the last bowl of soup left. Felt ripped off being sold on the buffet and charged for an incomplete experience, but our mistake agreeing to it without thinking. Regret not ordering off menu instead, as the reviews are favourable. Food was ok, and restaurant itself was very beautiful. Staff seemed friendly but we were not given menus or offered any water or drinks. Overall, disappointing!

    Had a meal there this week again -Great authentic food, great price, lovely staff. A regular place to go when we are in Port Vila. (Due to location there can be midgies around your legs, like a lot of places- I would recommend spraying your legs if you are affected by bites 🙂)

    This restaurant was recommended to us from friends who had been here multiple times. We arrived at sunset and experienced a stunning view of the sunset overlooking the Port Vila Bay. Service was friendly and the food was spot on. Off the beaten path a bit but so worth it.

  • 5/5 Hedy Rose W. 4 years ago on Google
    Location is a bit tricky. Personal advice is to take a bus from the town($150vt). View is spectacular thou for sunset! Truly a hidden gem. We had 1.5 hours therapeutic massage with two thai girls. Massage was excellent and very to the point! Worth every single penny. However, the price list was not updated (old:$5200vt for 1.5 hours, new:$6000vt) and the reception gave us wrong price, new one is higher but well the massage was great so its ok. The Thai food was excellent as well given we are from Hong Kong who have been always having Thai food no matter in Thai or HK. Tom Yum Talay was an impressive one. The Pad thai was nice, personally like it sweeter but its good too. The prawn vermicelli was hot and beautiful. We cleared all our dishes and enjoy the meal! However, the drinks were missed by the waitress although we were the only table at that time. Reminded the team about it after the entire dinner was done. And still we waited for a good 10 minutes to have our thai iced milk tea and vanuatu local beer. The thai iced milk tea was nice and sweet, better if the white sugar is in syrup form as I tasted the sandy white sugar almost every sip of the way. The beer has a nice malty taste. The owner was very friendly and passionate about their food and business. We talked and look forward to coming back to a new Indian restaurant instead of Thai next time! Overall, the little bumps on the way did not affect our great impression! This place is must go especially for the food and scenic view!

    Best view in town. Great Thai food (especially the coconut crab when in season). A bit pricy but worth it. Lunch specials are always a good deal during the week.

  • 5/5 Jason E. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best views in Port Vila to match fantastic Thai food. Eat in or takeaway. Never been disappointed

  • 5/5 Cata P. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Really enjoyed all the dishes here. Non fried spring rolls, honey chicken, curries, chicken basil all excellent. They have specials for lunch and a buffet on Thursdays. Really recommend. My favorite restaurant in Port Vila.

    Waited 1.5 hours hours still no food was served. Then we decided to leave. Other customers who finished their dinner waited for half hour just for paying the bill. Just terrible. But people who order takeaway way after us their food came first. 🤷🏻‍♀️
