This is the Thai restaurant to go to. I have only ever gotten takeaway, but the dine in is always busy. The staff are really helpful when it comes to dietary restrictions and helping me figure out what I can/ can’t eat. The food is delicious, and they are always generous with serving sizes. Also side note - the curry puffs are to DIE FOR!

Tasty Thai food, we ordered takeaway and their massaman is delicious, the crispy pork kailan was very nice, steamed rice was very nicely cooked but the pineapple fried rice needs a kick. It's bland. Perhaps a little more curry and even cashews or sultanas. Nice lady served us, busy place with walk in orders so if you decide to eat there it may be a little noisy at times. A nice meal to finish our holiday anyway.

Yummy traditional Thai unlike most Thai restaurants on Gold Coast. Food was all super yummy!! We had Isan Sausage, Chilli basil crispy pork, steam Barra, Papaya Salad with crab, chicken larb. Atmosphere for just your standard takeaway place and rice was not fresh and a bit cold but no other complaints

Went with a group of friends, was just half an hour before closing, but staff were quite still welcoming, and we enjoyed our meal. The food was authentic and delicious, and there's a lot of variety to choose from. We ordered 5 different dishes to share (massaman beef curry highly recommended!) and there was plenty of food. Will come back again!

My friend found this restaurant recently and the pawpaw salad, raw prawns and the thai sausage was delish! The tom yum soup is also nice. The only thing I didn't like about this place is that the staff is hard to understand what we want and won't repeat the order and we have to asked her dew times just to make sure she got our food right. The price is reasonable and food is great.

Great little spot on the GC. Food was delicious, crispy pork was crispy as it should be. Noodles spot on, plenty of pork ballls for the serve. Portion sizes are very generous for the prices. We’ll be going back for sure. Than’ you
