"Great range of foods on the menu to suit all tastes. Our children chose chicken burger and chicken breast which was very tasty. The Thai food was absolutely amazing. The fried garlic sea bass was my favourite with morning glory. My husband had stir fried pork in black pepper sauce which he enjoyed thoroughly. Everyone enjoyed everything we ordered. The service was also great. We will be back to try some other things on the menu. Thank you"

"Wonderful service and terrific food. I had the Panang and it was full of flavor. One of the most complete curries I’ve had in Thailand. Great last meal on the island before moving on. Thank you!"

"Highly recommended to dine here! We stayed here and ordered meals from them several times cos it’s good. Staff are very friendly with my children and even shared a toy with them to entertain them. Sweet and sour fish (already deboned) - crispy, right balance of sweetness and acidity, we cannot stop eating Tom yam soup - ordered several times, the taste is strong, spicy and creamy. Just try and you will know Egg omelette - crazy crispy but slightly salty. They can cook with pork, prawn or crab meat etc Fried noodles like pad Thai - good Thai standard Glass noodles salad - one of my favourite, spicy and not too fishy Spring rolls & fried chicken wings - plated very nicely, very crispy. You can’t go wrong here. Green curry - can be spicier and stronger taste. The brinjal s are fresh and well cooked. Note: they are closed on Wednesdays"
